First
Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) believes it has found a lucrative new
source of future revenues and is pursuing opportunities in a market some
are abandoning: oil field services.
Oversupply and falling demand have the oil and gas industry mired in a
slump. Oil field service firms have been caught in a vise of too
much debt and not
enough projects to go around as exploration
and production companies cut budgets. This has resulted in industry-wide
asset auctions where valuable,
often pristine equipment can
be purchased for a fraction of its true cost.
“The current price slump has opened a substantial window of opportunity
to obtain good equipment at tremendous, previously unimaginable
discounts,” said FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “The oil and gas industry will
recover, and when it does, companies that have taken advantage of these
once-in-a-generation opportunities can reap windfalls if they plan and
act accordingly. We’re looking at buying oil field service equipment,
refurbishing it, and when the market does recover, selling it at a
significant markup as drilling ramps up again. Such a plan holds the
promise of solid revenues when the market upturns.”
Auction houses are reporting
record turnouts for oil field equipment sales, indicating there is a
viable market of companies wanting to put such items to immediate use.
Studies also forecast the market for oil field equipment will top
$127 billion by 2020, showing the demand will remain strong.
