Sep 19, 2023

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 5, 2023--

Hunting PLC

("Hunting" or "the Company" or "the Group")

Strategic Alliance

Hunting PLC (LSE: HTG), the international energy services group, today announces that it has entered into a 10-year Strategic Partnership with Zhejiang Jiuli Hi-Tech Metals Co., Ltd ("Jiuli") for the supply of corrosion resistant alloys ("CRA") for Oil Country Tubular Goods ("OCTG"), carbon capture, utilisation and storage ("CCUS") and geothermal applications.

CCUS and geothermal are two end-markets that Hunting is pursuing as part of its strategy to become a key supplier to these sectors by providing project developers with critical supply channels and the premium connections required for these increasingly challenging technical projects, which operate in demanding sub-surface environments. All these end-markets are believed to show robust demand and growth in the medium to long term.

The partnership brings together Hunting's Seal-Lock TM premium connection technology with Jiuli's CRA, such as duplex/super duplex and high nickel-based alloys, for downhole casing and production tubing applications, which meet some of the harshest well conditions in the traditional oil and gas industry as well as the emerging CCUS and geothermal markets. The partnership also adds to Hunting's existing OCTG product portfolio and enables the supply of the widest range of premium OCTG for its client base, within the international energy and transition markets, as projects accelerate in the key areas of North America, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific.

Zhejiang Jiuli Hi-Tech Metals Co., Ltd., is listed in Shenzhen, China, and was established in 1987. Jiuli specialises in the research and development and production of industrial stainless steel and special alloy pipes, bars and other pipeline products. As a leading CRA supplier in China, its products export to more than 70 countries for oil and gas, photovoltaic energy, solar energy and wind energy applications.

Commenting on trading, Jim Johnson, Chief Executive, said:

"Our relationship with Jiuli has been strengthening over the past three years and this partnership provides both partners a strategic framework to move up the value chain in offering world class quality premium CRA tubing and casing with Hunting's Seal-Lock TM premium connection to the oil and gas, CCUS and geothermal industries"

"Hunting continues to make strong progress in its energy transition strategy, which will be a key area of growth in the coming years."

Albums from Janelle Monáe and Niall Horan, as well as a TV movie about a Frito-Lay janitor who claims to have invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are among the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

NEW YORK (AP) — Journalists at two dozen local newspapers across the U.S. walked off the job Monday to demand an end to painful cost-cutting measures and a change of leadership at Gannett, the country's biggest newspaper chain.

Apple has unveiled a long-rumored headset that will place its users between the virtual and real world, while also testing the technology trendsetter's ability to popularize new-fangled devices after others failed to capture the public's imagination. After years of speculation, Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday hailed the arrival of the sleek goggles — dubbed "Vision Pro" — at the the company's annual developers conference held on a park-like campus in Cupertino, California, that Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs helped design. The Vision Pro will sell for $3,500 when it comes out early next year, a price likely to limit its appeal.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Saudi Arabia will reduce how much oil it sends to the global economy, taking a unilateral step to prop up the sagging price of crude after two previous cuts to supply by major producing countries in the OPEC+ alliance failed to push oil higher.

Asian stock markets are higher after Wall Street fell on concern the U.S. economy may be weakening following a report that showed growth in service industries slowing. Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong rose. Sydney retreated. Oil prices declined. Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index lost 0.2% after an industry group's index of activity in construction, hospitality and other services fell to a three-year low in May. That conflicted with hopes data last week that showed unexpectedly strong hiring in May meant a potential U.S. recession brought on by interest rate hikes might be farther away.

Thousands of Microsoft Outlook users reported issues with accessing and using the email platform Monday morning. Microsoft 365 outage and problem reports peaked at almost 18,000 shortly after 11 a.m. ET Monday morning, according to outage tracker Downdetector. Reports have appeared to decline since then. The company said that it was "investigating an issue with accessing Outlook on the web" in a Monday Twitter thread posted on its Microsoft 365 Status account — and later added that a "downstream impact" was also identified for Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. By the afternoon, Microsoft said it had resolved the issue.
