PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The oil and gas CAPEX market is expected to witness significant growth owing to factors, including strong profitability due to a trend toward reducing project costs and optimizing portfolios, which has led to divesting of low-margin fields, as well as a greater emphasis on investments in higher-margin growth opportunities. Capital expenditure (CAPEX) refers to the funds utilized by a company/organization to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets, such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment. It is often used to undertake new projects or investments by a company. The global oil and gas CAPEX market considers the entire capital expenditure of international oil and gas operators annually. According to a new market research report from Mordor Intelligence titled “Oil and Gas CAPEX Market Report (2023-2028),” the market is estimated at USD 797.58 billion in 2023. It is expected to register a CAGR of 4.27% during the forecast period. The report said: “Investment in the upstream oil and gas industry grew after the rise in oil and gas demand amid the opening of the COVID-19 lockdowns. An expansion in demand recovered crude oil prices in 2022. In 2020, crude oil prices were about USD 41.96 per barrel, while in 2022, the prices reached more than USD 110 per barrel, resulting in a surge in investment in the oil & gas industry. The CAPEX market is expected to witness noteworthy growth owing to factors such as strong profitability due to a trend toward reducing project costs and optimizing portfolios, leading to divesting of low-margin fields, as well as a greater emphasis on investments in higher-margin growth opportunities.” Active Mining Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Trio Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: TPET), Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN), Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY), Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO), Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN).
Mordor Intelligence concluded: “North America is one of the largest markets in terms of capital expenditure in the oil and gas industry, with the United States being the leader, followed by Canada and Mexico. The United States is a major crude oil and natural gas producer in the world, and the country is expected to cover around 60% of the world’s oil demand in the coming years. The United States has always been at the forefront in the past and is also expected to dominate the region’s oil and gas CAPEX market in the forecast period. The country oil and gas projects accounts for approximately 70% of the total investments in North America during the forecast period. Of the total number of upstream projects in the country, more than 80% are estimated to be the new build while the expansion projects are expected to account for the remaining 20% during the forecast period (2023 – 2028).”
Trio Petroleum Corp. (NYSE American: TPET) BREAKING NEWS: Trio Petroleum Corp Provides Update on Testing of the HV-1 Discovery Well – Pumping Unit and Storage Tanks and other Temporary Facilities Being Installed – Testing Rates Up To 145 Barrels of Oil Per Day – Trio Petroleum Corp. (“Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, today provided an update on the testing of the HV-1 discovery well at the Company’s South Salinas Project.
The Brown Zone (aka Brown Chert) in the HV-1 well was perforated on September 7 with 350 feet of perforations across a gross interval from 5,465 to 5,850 feet measured depth and then acidized for borehole clean-up. The well was then tested by swabbing for seven days during the September 8-18 timeframe. A pumping unit is now being installed at the HV-1 well for further testing of the Brown Zone and temporary tanks and other facilities are also being installed at the well site. Results of pumping will be announced when available.
The Brown Zone in the HV-1 well is mechanically isolated from the deeper Mid-Monterey Clay zone that we previously tested with results previously announced. Swab testing to-date suggests that the Brown Zone and the Mid-Monterey Clay collectively, if commingled, might deliver approximately 145 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), with potentially significantly higher oil production rates when the well is on pump.
Trio’s CEO, Frank Ingriselli, stated: “We continue to be encouraged by the preliminary test results at the HV-1 well. We should get a much better understanding of the potential rates of oil and gas production at the well by having it on pump. Though our original primary objective was the Yellow Zone, also known as the Yellow Chert, which we still believe will be the most prolific producing zone of the structure, we have been very encouraged by the results in the Brown Zone and the Mid-Monterey formation. Given the greater than expected positive results, we may decide to initially produce from the Brown Zone, or to produce from the Brown Zone and the Mid-Monterey formation commingled for the foreseeable future and wait moving up-hole to the top of the anticline to test and produce from our primary objective – the Yellow Zone. We will continue to announce results as additional information becomes available.” CONTINUED… Read this and more news for Trio Petroleum at: https://ir.trio-petroleum.com/press-releases/

Carbon Engineering’s DAC-based climate solutions utilize standardized processes and proven industrial equipment.

Second quarter financial and operational results were again very strong, highlighted by notable increases to our cash flow, free cash flow, and production relative to the first quarter. We remain on track to deliver against our full year capital spending and production guidance with oil equivalent production trending above the midpoint. In summary, we remain well positioned to continue offering our investors top tier and sustainable free cash flow generation, an advantaged return of capital profile, and differentiated per-share growth with an investment grade balance sheet – all at an attractive valuation. I remain confident that our 2023 business plan is both resilient and compelling across a broad range of commodity prices and that it benchmarks at the very top of both the E&P sector and the S&P 500 on the metrics that matter most.”
Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) recently announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“Southwestern Energy continues to improve the resilience and free cash flow generation capacity of our business. With our successes mitigating inflationary pressures and driving operational efficiencies, we expect to deliver our 2023 plan with less activity and corresponding investment. Debt reduction remains our top capital allocation priority, which we accelerated with a non-core asset sale. Our disciplined strategy to manage through the commodity price cycle maintains the Company’s financial strength and productive capacity. We are well positioned to increase shareholder value in the supportive longer-term natural gas environment,” said Bill Way, Southwestern Energy President and Chief Executive Officer.

NewCo Capital Group Continues Global Expansion as 2024 Milestones Set The Stage for an Ambitious Q4
![newco-capital-group-continues-global-expansion-as-2024-milestones-set-the-stage-for-an-ambitious-q4](https://thefintechbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/55045-newco-capital-group-continues-global-expansion-as-2024-milestones-set-the-stage-for-an-ambitious-q4.jpg)
NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As Q4 fast approaches, NewCo Capital Group (“NewCo”) and Australia-based Bizcap are finalizing year-end initiatives to strategically position both companies for an ambitious expansion in 2025.
Both companies have celebrated a highly successful 2024, marked by remarkable and accelerated growth. This momentum has been driven by Bizcap’s unique Line of Credit product, NewCo’s introduction of their “Line of Capital” product and the launch of NewCo’s new mobile app. CEO Albert Gahfi emphasized the importance of closing 2024 on a high note to set the stage for future growth. “We’ve had an exceptional year so far, but our focus is on what comes next. We’re building the foundation for 2025 and beyond, ensuring that NewCo and Bizcap are positioned for continued global expansion.”
The plan for Q4 includes deepening their presence in existing markets while making calculated moves into new territories, including Singapore, Germany, and Luxembourg. “There are new opportunities in emerging markets that are currently underserved, where we believe we can make a significant impact. As a result, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for SMB financing globally.”
By reinforcing their operational and technological infrastructure, the companies are preparing to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global financing landscape. “2024 has been a year of strong growth, but we’re not stopping here,” Gahfi said. “We are focused on delivering innovative financing solutions that not only meet the needs of today but also anticipate the demands of tomorrow. As we head into 2025, we’re ready to expand our reach and provide even more businesses with the capital they need.”
Part of a multinational collaboration, NewCo and Bizcap have successfully deployed over $1.5 billion to over 35,000 businesses worldwide. Gahfi commented, “We’re moving capital faster and more effectively than any other sector and our clients are benefiting from that growth.”
NewCo’s strength lies in its ability to adapt quickly, using a unique mix of proprietary technology, nuanced underwriting, and an experienced risk management team. The companies’ hybrid approach is challenging outdated financing models, making NewCo a preferred partner for SMBs looking for custom capital solutions that truly fit their needs.
“We’re not just growing; we’re leading,” Gahfi added. “As we expand globally, our goal remains the same—helping small businesses scale, create jobs, and thrive.”
With a clear strategy and a relentless focus on delivering value, NewCo Capital Group is primed to deepen its market influence and capitalize on emerging opportunities. As the company prepares for its next wave of market entries, Q4 will serve as a pivotal launchpad for an even more ambitious 2025, setting the stage for continued growth and global leadership.
