New Wave of Mergers and Acquisitions to Fuel FTTN’s Value-Based Equipment Strategy
The midstream oil and gas sector is preparing for a coming wave of
industry-wide mergers and acquisitions that could put a significant
amount of valuable equipment on the market for sale at tremendous
discount. This scenario is exactly what First
Titan Corp. (OTCQB:FTTN) has been
planning for with its value-based acquisition strategy that aims to
refurbish and resell or lease the equipment to operators when the
economic situation improves.
According to industry watchers, more than $150
billion worth of assets have been liquidated globally across the oil
and gas business this year alone. Many of the deals have been happening
with lightning speed. “If you wait for a deal to come to you, it’s
already too late,” one prominent equity executive told a Wall Street
Journal reporter.
“A unique, once-in-a-generation situation is rapidly unfolding,” said
FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “And FTTN is in an optimum position to take
advantage of this great opportunity. Something like this – the chance to
grab valuable assets and equipment for pennies on the dollar – doesn’t
come along often. This validates our plan. Companies with the foresight
to act now will be sitting pretty when oil and gas rebounds. The deals
are out there and we’re going to aggressively pursue every opportunity
available.”
In addition to equipment, FTTN continues to look for value-based
properties and leases.
FTTN is building a competitive portfolio of oil and gas properties
alongside companies such as Lucas Energy, Inc. (LEI),
Earthstone Energy, Inc. (ESTE),
Fieldpoint Petroleum Corp. (FPP)
and Evolution Petroleum Corp. (EPM).
