Oilfield Service Mergers Could Open the Door for FTTN to Grab Customers and Market Share
With the price of oil sinking to levels not seen in years, industry
analysts are predicting a coming wave of mergers and asset sales in the
oilfield services sector, a scenario that could help First
Titan Corp’s. (OTCQB:FTTN) plans to enter
the market.
“What’s going to happen is these mergers and sales are going to greatly
disrupt service company’s relationships with exploration and
production companies,” said FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “This offers a
strategic opening in the market we can exploit. Oil companies will need
new service vendors to replace those that go under or are taken over in
this low-price environment. We can step in and use this economic
situation to our advantage to fill in these growing service gaps,
building relationships and revenue.”
Industry watchers predict the
service companies that will survive the current difficulties are
those with low debt. This low debt will give them the flexibility to not
only weather the tough times ahead but to buy out rivals and grab
additional market share.
“We’ve been very careful with debt,” said Mr. Jim. “So we have the
needed flexibility to adapt and prosper while others are struggling.”
FTTN continues due
diligence on oilfield service equipment, looking at auctions and
asset sales for suitable acquisition opportunities.
The Company 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).
