About our growth strategy - our primary rationale for this transaction is create a growth platform in the small scale North American LNG industry. We believe that Stabilis can create profitable growth in three ways. One is optimize earnings using our existing asset base. The second is investing in new LNG production and rolling stock assets that will give us access to new customers in end markets. The third is buying other LNG business that would allow us to expand the markets and customers that we serve.
First, optimizing our asset base. We discussed above what we think our existing asset base can do near term and long term from a financial performance perspective. We’ll continue to work to optimize the assets we’ve discussed in this presentation.
Second, investing a new plant and rolling stock assets. As the adoption of LNG grows in our target end markets, numerous opportunities arise to invest in new LNG production plants and new cryogenic rolling stock equipment to serve these markets. In terms of LNG production, the key markets that we’ll focus on include (1) the oil field markets in which we aren’t currently present including West Texas, the Colorado/Wyoming area, North Dakota, Oklahoma and the Pennsylvania/Ohio area. These are all productive oilfield basins where we feel our capabilities could apply well.
Second is the marine market where new LNG powered ships are being introduced for both blue and brown water use. There’s multiple announcements in the market about that now and we feel like there’s opportunity there for additional LNG production to serve that growing marine market.
Third is the Mexican market for power production in the mining, industrial, and commercial sectors. Fourth is small scale export opportunities where LNG can be taken into countries in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America for use of power generation and other burner tip
