Recapture Solutions Acquires Flex Leasing Power & Service
HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Recapture Solutions, LLC ("Recapture") is pleased to announce it has acquired Flex Leasing Power & Service ("FLPS"). FLPS leases 250kw and 333kW Flex Turbines™ for remote well-site power generation to the North American oil and gas industry. Over the past two years, FLPS has developed a reputation for providing remote power in the harshest and most challenging environments with exceptional up-time and service quality. FLPS' fleet of turbines utilizes field gas, saving the customer money while performing better than a reciprocating diesel engine. Recapture provides flare reduction, remote power and natural gas fueling solutions to the oil and gas industry. FLPS will become part of Recapture's existing remote power generation business. Recapture is backed by Intervale Capital ("Intervale"), a private equity firm which invests exclusively in oilfield manufacturing and service companies.
FLPS launched in December of 2012 by partnering with FlexEnergy, Inc., ("FlexEnergy") a privately held manufacturer of micro-turbines. Following the close of the transaction, FLPS will remain the exclusive lessor of Flex Turbines™ for oil-field applications in the DJ Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Permian Basin and Williston Basin. FLPS' fleet has tripled over the last 12 months and it currently operates nearly 50 MT250kW and MT333kW Flex Turbines™. Jason Arnoldy, CEO of Recapture, commented, "FLPS' turbines are highly reliable and perform exceptionally in extremely cold conditions, making them an ideal solution for remote well-site power in North Dakota and the Rockies. We have conviction at Recapture that the Flex Turbine™ is the best remote power solution for applications where the cost of downtime is high. Flex Turbines™ will also provide reliable power to Recapture's growing flare reduction and NGL extraction business. We look forward to increasing the size of the FLPS fleet in response to customer demand. Led by Doug Baltzer, FLPS has built an exceptional team and we look forward to working together".
"Our largest customer for production-related power reported that FLPS' 99%+ uptime allowed it to maintain production during one of the harshest winters on record in North Dakota. Meanwhile many of our customer's competitors had to halt production at their well-sites due to significant downtime from their remote power providers. The value proposition to our customers is simple. Our power solutions are designed to deliver improved performance and uptime versus incumbent technologies, utilize field gas to reduce fuel costs and reduce emissions," said President of FLPS, Doug Baltzer.
Charles Cherington, Managing Partner at Intervale commented, "We look forward to partnering with the FLPS team. FLPS has grown its natural gas turbine leasing business significantly over the past year by offering a superior product and service for well-site power. Customers value the reliability and uptime of FLPS' fleet, and demand is growing rapidly. We look forward to helping both FLPS and Recapture meet their growth objectives."
