Our first question comes from the line of Jeff <unk> with Northland Capital markets. Please go ahead.
Speaker #2: If you're using a speaker phone, the speaker for your handset before pressing any keys. To withdraw your question, please press the star two. With that, our first question comes from the line of Jeff Grant with Northland Capital Markets.
Hi, guys nice quarter.
Good morning, Joe Brian was.
I was hoping to get an update on.
Progress towards contracting additional power Tech units to third parties is as I recall I believe most if not all of these units are earmarked to pro Frac.
Speaker #2: Please go head.
Speaker #7: Morning, guys. Nice quarter.
Speaker #5: what is Jeff?
Speaker #7: Brian was Brian was hoping to get an update on, progress towards contracting additional PowerTech units, to third parties. As I recall, I believe most, if not all, of these units are are earmarked to pro frac.
I know you guys have some demand from other parties. So just curious to get an update on those efforts.
Yes, that's a great Chris and one we're happy to answer this morning that we've seen solid traction. We've now got an additional five customers that we are going through the pilot phase of testing the <unk> monitoring.
Speaker #7: I know you guys have some demand from from other parties, so just curious to get an update on those efforts.
Speaker #5: Yeah. That's that's a a great question and one we're appy to answer this morning that we've seen, solid traction. we've now got an additional five customers that we are going through the pilot phase of testing the Verax monitoring, proving the application that we'll transfer into the next step of moving the larger assets like, an ESD-NGD combo or one of our new smart filtration skids on the location.
Proven the application that will transfer into the next step of moving the larger assets like <unk> combo or one of our new smart filtration skus on the location. So we do expect the first mark filtration is geared to be out in the next couple of weeks and we have accelerated the capital builds on the rest of the equipment to start to.
To answer the building demand. So we're really excited about it and we're not only seeing it from the aspect of will advocate should it be a rig power, which should be dual fuel or equally turbines, but we're also seeing solid traction and grid power as some of the data center support as well so.
Speaker #5: So, we do expect the first smart filtration skid to be out in the next couple of weeks. And we have accelerated, the capital builds on the rest of the equipment to start to answer the building demand.
Speaker #5: So we're really excited about it. And, and 're not only seeing it from the aspect of what I would consider to be, rig power, which would be dual fuel but we're also seeing a solid traction in grid power and some of the data center support as well.
Exciting time for what's going to be coming in the future of power Tech.
Awesome, that's great to hear.
And then shifting to custody transfer.
Was hoping to kind of dive into a little bit with the.
Speaker #5: So, exciting time for what's gonna be coming in the future of PowerTech.
These C locations that have gone commercial here can you give a sense of I guess quantity of customers or geographies I think you've mentioned one.
Speaker #7: Awesome. That's that's great to hear. and then, shifting to to custody transfer, was hoping to kinda dive into, a little bit with the, these few locations that have gone commercial here.
One customer in a few different basins, but just curious kind of the the breadth or depth of both both number of customers as well as the different geographies that you guys are getting some traction.
Speaker #7: Can you give a sense of, I guess, quantity of customers or geographies? I think you
Yeah, Yeah, so the the bigger the larger scale.
Speaker #7: mentioned, one customer and a ew different basins, but just curious kinda the the or, e-fleet turbines, breadth or depth of both num both number of customers as well as, the geographies you guys are getting traction in.
Pilot program that would be a bit conducted in one of the major E&P operators here in North America.
Those units, we actually had units operating in virtually every U S. Major basin right now with that one and Theyre kind of all as we have started a pilot program. We put we install units and after 60 days of actual monitoring they switch over and convert to commercial so.
Speaker #7: Thanks.
Speaker #5: Yeah. Yeah. So the the the bigger, the larger scale, pilot program that we have been conducting in one of the major EMP operators here, in North America, that those units, we actually have units operating in virtually every US major basin right now with that one.
Now fully activated none of them on the commercial they started generating revenue at the back half or the back of last week of May.
Speaker #5: And they're kind of on, h, as we had started the pilot program, we put we install units in the after, 60 days of actual monitoring.
First of June.
<unk> had six more are now converting that numbers continue to climb.
Speaker #5: They switch over and convert to commercial. So we've now fully activated nine of them under commercial. They started generating revenue at the back half or the back of last week of May, first of June, we've had six more that are now converting in that number is continuing to climb.
First of all is it converted we're out mostly in the Permian basin, we're seeing them come online.
Now what we call the Rockies region, and then we've got some move into the northeast as well that'll be coming alive.
Actually got another.
Speaker #5: the first ones that converted were out mostly in the Permian basin. we're seeing them come online in, what we call the the Rockies, region.
I'd say eight to 10 customers that we have monitoring custody transfer in pilot phases and the reason we call a pilot is because they are there.
Speaker #5: And then we've some moving to the Northeast as well that'll be coming online. We've actually got another I would say 8 to 10 customers that we have monitoring custody transfer in pilot phases and the reason we call them pilot is because they're they're they're doing different things at different locations.
Doing different things in different locations some of them, we're doing a longer term test session will replace the monetary things they do on spot.
Sampling, where they wont do any manual handling this will turn into the true valuation component of the <unk>.
Speaker #5: Some of we're doing a longer-term test. Actually, we're replacing the monetary things they do on spot, or composite sampling to where they won't do any manual handling.
Flow and gas, but we've also got some that are just looking for NGL productions in the first 60 to 90 days when they bring a well online so they're all doing different things at different locations as part of the custody transfer, but like as I mentioned earlier I'm extremely bullish on this application I think it'll be one of our larger segments into future here for Flotek.
Speaker #5: This will turn into the true, valuation component of the of the flowing gas. But we've also got some that are just looking for, NGL productions in the first 60 to 90 days when they bring a well online.
Speaker #5: So they're all doing different things at different locations. That's part of custody transfer. But, like, I mentioned earlier, I'm 'm extremely bullish on this application.
Great. That's super helpful detail, if I could just sneak one more in I think the release noted.
Something like 90% gross margins on the power Tech assets I think you guys were initially targeting something more like 80% I know, it's still early but just any commentary on the potential sustainability at that level would be interesting to hear.
Speaker #5: And I think, it'll be one of our larger, segments in future here for Flutech.
Speaker #7: Great. That's super helpful detail. if if I can just sneak one more in. I I ink the release noted something like 90% gross margins on the PowerTech assets.
Yes, Jeff we obviously were pleased with the margins in the first quarter keep in mind it.
Speaker #7: I I think you guys were initially targeting something more like 80%. I know it's still early, but just any commentary on the potential sustainability at at that level would be interesting to hear.
Those assets were only operating for a part of the quarter roughly two months we.
We still think margins are going to be very attractive.
Speaker #8: Yeah. Jeff, we we obviously were pleased with, the margins in the first quarter. Keep in mind that, those assets were only operating for a part of the, the quarter, roughly two months.
It's hard to say, if theyre going to be sustained at 90%, but as we as we said initially our expectations, we're going to be north of north of 80%. So I think 80% to 90% is probably a reasonable assumption going forward as we sit here today.
Speaker #8: we still think margins are gonna be very attractive. I you know, it's hard to say if they're gonna be sustained at 90%, but as we as we said initially, our expectations were gonna be north of north of 80%.
Sounds good thanks, Bob I'll turn it back.
And your next question comes from the line of Gerry Sweeney with Roth Capital. Please go ahead.
Speaker #8: So, I ink 80 to 90 percent's probably a reasonable assumption going forward as we sit here ay.
Hi, Good morning, Brian Bond, Mike Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker #7: Sounds good. Thanks, Bon. I'll turn it back.
Hey, Gerard.
I'm doing well.
Speaker #2: And your next question comes from the line of Jerry Sweeney with Rod Capital. Please go head.
So.
Just a follow up.
Question on on the power Tech side, you had mentioned five customers I think.
Speaker #9: good morning. Ryan Bon, Mike. Thanks for taking my call.
<unk> customers.
Speaker #5: Hey, Jerry. How are ou?
Customers are using the power tech or or piloting or whatever words or talking to you.
Speaker #9: I'm doing well. so just a follow-up, question on on the PowerTech side. You've ioned five customers or, I ink, five customers are using the PowerTech or or or piloting or whatever words they're king to you.
<unk>.
Market to those five customers with 5%.
So.
Initially I would say that they are split so.
Two of them are very specific to oil and gas.
Speaker #9: How big of a market do those five customers represent?
Operations that type of option B rig tower.
Three of them are related to.
Speaker #5: So initially, I would say that they're lit. Two of them are very specific to oil and gas. Operations of turbines should be rig power.
Energy infrastructure, which would be great power support.
Launching gas for data centers.
And I always say that.
When you look at if we were to achieve any type of scale. There. There is a similar size to our largest customer.
Speaker #5: And then three of them are related to, energy infrastructure, which would be grid power support, or monitoring gas for a data centers. and I would say that, you know, you when you look at if we were to achieve any type of scale, they're they're in similar size to our largest customer, which would be what we're doing with the ProFrex power gen.
Which would be what we're doing with <unk> power Gen. So they all have similar footprints if not bigger.
Customers yes.
Got it is there a difference in terms of.
<unk>.
The depth of it.
Maybe due diligence between oil and gas guys any energy infrastructure.
Speaker #5: So they all have similar footprints, if not bigger. all five of these customers. Yeah.
Maybe getting across the finish line.
Speaker #9: Got it. All right. Is there a difference in terms of the depth of maybe due diligence between the oil and gas guys and the energy infrastructure?
Yes.
<unk>.
Believe it or not.
The path to getting equipment on location is similar to what we did when we did the primary deal with pro Frac is the first thing we do show the validity and the capabilities of the various monitoring system, which is the heart of all of these pieces of equipment.
Speaker #9: maybe getting across the finish line?
Speaker #5: Yeah. You know, it's it's we're believe it or not, the the path to getting equipment on location is similar to what we did when we we did the primary deal with ProFreq is the first thing we do is show the validity and the capabilities of the Verax monitoring system, which is the heart of all these pieces of equipment.
And we use a gone a couple of weeks of chest, where they're testing to field gas in the combination with current knockout systems they have on location.
And then we move into the larger assets if I can I can you use.
<unk> combo, which is the monitoring stop gap with.
Speaker #5: and we usually go on a a a couple of weeks of tests they're testing the field gas, seeing the in combination with the current knockout systems they have on location.
With distribution or move it to a smart filtration is good with distribution.
Z as water filtration, a very similar it's just a footprint is a little smaller for the.
Speaker #5: and then we move into the larger assets like in like an ESD-NGD combo, which is the monitoring stop gap with distribution or we move it to a smart filtration skid with distribution.
Or this is more skewed.
And.
The diligence part of the churn that comes into it as they are.
They both if youre using a really remote and raw field gas theyre very similar Oliver when you look at some of these are the <unk>.
Speaker #5: the ESD and smart filtration are very similar. It's just a footprint. It's a little smaller for the, for the smart skid. and, you know, the the the diligence part in turn, it comes into it is they they they both, if you are using a really remote and raw field gas, they're very similar.
Power facilities particular data centers a lot of them are getting more what I consider to be refined I'll also we call city level gas. So they have a little bit different process, it's more about metering and.
Speaker #5: However, when you look at some of these, the power facilities, particularly data centers, a lot of them are getting more what I consider to be refined almost what we call city-level gas.
Valuation of volume coming through as much as is the control of worried about a lot of liquids coming through if that makes sense.
Gotcha, and then secondarily.
Speaker #5: So they have a little bit different process. It's more about metering and, valuation and volume coming through as much as it is the the control of worrying about a lot of liquids coming through, if that makes sense.
I'll jump back in line just manufacturing capacity.
Where do you stand on that front, just maybe even medium potential demand as we move into next year.
Yes.
Speaker #9: Gotcha. And then secondarily, then I'll jump back in line. just manufacturing capacity, you know, where do you stand on that front? Just maybe even meeting potential demand as we move into next year.
I would say from.
Many of those service line I'll talk about power Tech first we have plenty of <unk>.
Backlog of <unk> analyzers to answer the demand and as you see we had acquired those initial 30 assets. We've got 26 of the 34 more come in we've already built our first smart filtration skid, we have it moving in operations. We have now ordered additional one of those coming online and we're working all placing additional orders of <unk>.
Speaker #5: Yeah. You know, it's, I would say from depending on the service line, I'll talk about PowerTech first. we have plenty , backlog of Verax analyzers to answer the demand.
Speaker #5: And and as you see, we had acquired those initial 30 assets. We've got 26 of the 30 will be for more coming. We've already built our first smart filtration skid.
Most of them have anywhere from.
Four to eight week timeline to bill. So I think we're going to be able to keep up we've got multiple builders that can actually because we've got kind of proprietary framing on though is that it's not they're not very difficult I would say to be able to take long lead times.
Speaker #5: We have it moving in operations. We've now ordered additional ones of those coming online. And we're working on placing additional orders of ESD-NGDs. Most of them have anywhere from a 4 to 8-week, timeline to build.
Speaker #5: So I I think we're onna be able to keep up. We've got, multiple builders that can actually, because we've got kind of, proprietary framing those.
When you look at the custody transfer we've got about 200 plus units available for deployment and we are steadily streamlining of bringing those data because we feel like there'll be larger numbers of those a comparison to the analyzers is used for power Tech is that field deployment starts to grow but we are still in the process of doing some more advanced <unk>.
Speaker #5: So it it's not it's not they're very difficult, I say, to build or take long lead times. when you look at the custody transfer, we've got about 200-plus units available for deployment.
And again, we expect units as they come online.
Speaker #5: And we are steadily streamlining and bringing ose in because we feel like there'll larger numbers of those in comparison to the analyzers that are used for PowerTech as as that, field deployment starts to grow.
Gotcha.
Sorry, I lied.
Question, but you mentioned 200 units for field capacity, so I mean, youre expecting that to ramp significantly over the next 12 18 months.
Speaker #5: but we are still in the process of doing some more advanced streamlining on the expect units as they come online.
That type of Hong Kong.
Speaker #9: Gotcha. sorry. I lied. Last question. But you you mentioned 200 units for field custody. So, I mean, you're you're expecting that to ramp significantly over the next 12 to 18 months with that type of backlog of stuff?
Yeah. So the great part is that you know our original we call. It our core business, where we're doing Reid vapor pressure monitoring retrans mix because their multichannel units, we could put one or two units.
In a refinery and they can monitor multiple areas. It was when you look at what we're doing here of custody transfer. These orders are coming in anywhere from 8% to 20 units at a time.
Speaker #5: Yeah. So the great part is that, you know, our original what we called our core business where we were doing reed vapor pressure monitoring or transmix, because they're multi-channel units, we can put one or two units in a, refinery and they can monitor multiple areas at once.
For a full deployment in areas. So they have a much larger enterprise deployment capabilities and what we would traditionally see in the older core business, which is exactly the reason why we put so much in the upstream is the competitive advantage, we have and our ability to launch it in real time, plus the larger scale deployment opportunities.
Speaker #5: When you look at what we're doing here on custody transfer, these orders are coming in anywhere from 8 to 20 units at a time.
Speaker #5: for a full deployment in an area. So they have a much larger enterprise deployment capabilities than what we would traditionally see in the older core business, which is exactly the ason why we push so much into the upstream is the competitive advantage we have.
Got it.
I appreciate it I'll jump back in line.
Quarter, yes.
Yes. Thank you.
And your next question comes from the line of Paul <unk> with Alliance Global Partners. Please go ahead.
Speaker #5: And our ability to be able to itor it in real time, plus the larger scale deployment opportunities.
Speaker #9: Got it. I appreciate it. we'll jump back in line. Thanks. Great
Hi, Good morning, you covered a lot of ground, but can we just.
Speaker #5: Okay.
Speaker #9: quarter.
Speaker #5: Yeah. Thank you.
Maybe look at the.
Energy infrastructure and power Tech business.
Speaker #2: And your next question comes from the line of ProFreq with Alliance Global Partners. Please go ahead.
The non.
Non pro Frac revenue when do you think that's going to hit.
Speaker #10: Hi. Good morning. you covered a lot of ground, but can we just, maybe look at the, you know, energy infrastructure, the PowerTech business? the non you ow, non-ProFreq revenue, when do you think that's gonna hit the, you know, hit the operating results?
Hit the operating results and could you give us sort of an order of magnitude about the.
That level that we might see this year.
Non pro Frac customer score the power Tech sector.
Speaker #10: And can you give us sort of an order of magnitude about the, you ow, the level that we might see this year in, you know, non-ProFreq customers for, you know, the PowerTech sector?
So we will start seeing revenue from non appropriate customers in Q3.
This year.
And that will continue to expand because the rental rates are what we would do for the service from just a <unk>, we're proving it out versus when we get to higher day rates for the full systems one.
All location are quite a bit different so we will start seeing a lot of the various initial various revenue already coming through because majority of the use of already been delivered.
In July <unk>.
We will start to see that come into a larger scale in the back half of the year, but we'll definitely see some in 2025 with a pre rapid acceleration, but what we'll see in 'twenty six.
Great.
Or any way Ryan to quantify that.
The revenue potential per customer.
Hum.
Is it even relevant to look at the 30 units generating 27 million of bond your revenue and compare that to your new customers.
Is that the way to read that or is it am I missing something.
Hey, Poe, it's bond you got to remember when we talk about power service. It can be a combination of a lot of different types of activities.
What we're doing with a lot of new nonperforming customers today is simply the rental of the <unk> unit, which as Ryan mentioned, Canada. The brains of the skids that we bought in connection with the Powertech deal. So obviously those are not going to be as impactful from a revenue perspective, but when we talk about the smart scan did we just.
Pulled out our first one we expect to put that into service in Q3.
I think it's too early for us to start getting into financial details relative to the economics of these smart skids since we havent placed one with a customer today, but.
But those those units could be could.
Could be very meaningful financially similar to what we see with <unk>.
With the payers of ESD and.
Distribution schemes with program.
Okay.
Can we do the same thing for the custody transfer business.
Looks like third quarter, you might see some revenue there.
Could you sort of quantify what you might've seen or you might have booked in the second quarter, and then sort of how it.
It's up over the rest of the year.
Yes second quarter was very small.
Less than $50000 in terms of <unk>, we do expect that obviously to expand with a full quarter of revenue again don't want to get into individual.
Rental rates on these units given the fact that we're trying to expand.
Customer acceptance of the technology and we're in some pretty highly competitive discussions right now.
Okay.
Really helpful. Thank you Bonnie.
And then.
But last call you were.
A lot of commodity price volatility, obviously and you were somewhat cautious on the chemistry side of business looking at the second half of the year.
Can you update your view on the outlook for the chemistry business right now relative to what you said on the first call.
Last call.
So I think I think we have seen.
Go back.
Danny a 180 days, we've seen quite a bit of fluctuation in the market.
I do think that as we mentioned earlier there has been some core factors impacted commodity pricing on the geopolitical aspect as well as the.
The impacts of what the back half of the year demand may be you look at OPEC plus versus what a lot of the OECD countries, including the IEA think on demand did impact the absorption I would say a normalization of Saudi is an improved production out into the market. How it plays to the price of oil and also.
How much of the demand for natural gas influences this pricing upward direction I.
I do feel that we will see that near term softness.
And the way it impacts us is.
You look at where proprietary technologies and the reason that we continue to grow and there's been a reduction in active frac fleets is that people at our customers seeing the improvements in the reservoir production and utilization of our chemistry. So I think when you look at our proprietary technology of our complex nano fluids surfactants stimulations, we will see those.
Continue to expand and grow as a great adoption, where I think our chemistry business will be most impacted mobile the commodity chemicals like friction reducers is going to be pricing pressure on those and those are like the very commoditized chemicals, So where I guess, where I'm going with that is we will see great production out of our higher margin Tech.
And we will see a little bit of impact on the <unk> sales, what I was looking at what temperature side.
Will probably carry through.
Into the back half of Q4, we are starting to see a little light in the tunnel in the back half of Q4.
National business, I think is going to hold pretty steady.
Not growth for the activity, we see in Saudi.
And I think with the natural gas demand.
But we will eventually have to come alive and well see some improvement there were very strong and allow the natural gas basins in comparison to the commodity battles that we see in the Permian.
Great very helpful. Thanks, Brian.
Okay.
And your next question comes from the line of Eric Swergold with Firestorm capital. Please go ahead.
Thanks, guys and congratulations to our entire team both for repositioning maybe be able to grow through a downturn and also continuing to move.
Move up value in terms of product.
Quantity.
And then we will take.
That's question, but.
Okay.
Sure.
Sure.
<unk> into power Gen equipment from the top powergen equipment manufacturers. Thanks.
Do you mind, just repeating that you broke up a little bit there.
My question was can you discuss the efforts to get your sensors.
<unk> into power Gen equipment from the top power Gen equipment manufacturers.
Yes.
Great.
Question, Eric and what we're seeing now is that we've had some.
We've got multiple partners right now that are at the supply.
A lot of the I'll say, the upper end turbine and engine production that we are testing to where there is most of the testing. We're doing now is to optimize the performance and lifetime of the engine in terms of doing dynamic adjustments to fuel and air control go into them to maximize that they run at the optimum rate.
<unk> wear and tear and costly failure of these pieces of equipment. So we are involved in that and what's been unique is that.
Traditionally there is two approaches are looking at that one would it be like an OEM part they will come with a turbine or a dual fuel asset.
Come a service and we've moved towards it working with these larger producers that are becoming a service that they offer and we are the brains of the service so that is progressing and making good progress.
We definitely consider those are strong opportunities for us in the back half of this year. One of those is one of the pilot programs that we're running now that I mentioned earlier.
Great. Thanks, a lot and congratulations again on doing such a good job repositioning the company to grow through a downturn.
Yeah I appreciate it thank you.
And your next question comes from the line of Chris Sakai with singular research. Please go ahead.
I'm in for gout sheet.
And with your continued push into prescriptive analytics through chemistry optimization, roughly what portion of chemistry revenue now directly ties to data driven services and how do you expect that ratio to change by next year.
That's quite unique in that I would say that the data driven part of what we do on the PCI side of the business.
Such as almost 80% of what we do because we're we look at it from on the completion side right now we are taking.
Real time data from water quality of different pieces, we make adjustments to the Cambridgeshire there plus everything that we do on the PCM side, when we bring in and we test whether drill cuttings core samples.
Nishu crude potential composition county water.
Different pieces with you and XRD, we plug those into kind of a metric models to help us prescribed the technology that we use our location and then therefore, we tweak down basic control and optimization.
<unk> is technically in a way touching almost all will be due on the PCM service then.
We do sell some bulk chemistry that is just on a price basis, but the big majority of our external customers now use PCM service, what youre going to see from Flotek and if you look I believe it's all slide 10 that the infrastructure slides that we have we are now moving our expect units and the real time monitoring of hydrocarbon quantity.
Use which will lead to opportunities too.
<unk> production chemistry on the backend. We're also looking at advanced techniques monitoring water on the front end it real time, where we can adjust on the fly with technologies.
She said, we use based on water quality is going to get in the water in shape. So did you get the most optimum.
Production from your Frac so.
It's pretty I mean every component when you when we really say you are starting now to see the convergence of real time data and optimized prescribed chemistry, we're at the tip of the spear is doing that for the industry and we're going to continue to evolve that and drive that as part of our differentiation in the in the business going forward.
Slide seven just a quick.
Quick question.
And your next question comes from the line of Josh <unk> with <unk> Energy partners. Please go ahead.
Thanks first one for me just I guess, a shorter term question could you walk through the expected delta between the low and high end of the guidance range looking into the back half of the year.
Which segments are going to drive it one way or the other.
I would assume because of the size just of where it sits today its probably the chemistry side of the business, but maybe you could talk if there's some variability from some of the other businesses that's ultimately driving.
The expected outcome and the guidance ranges.
Yeah, I mean, Josh we talked about I think Ron and I alluded to each in some of our comments.
The real variability in the guidance, particularly on the revenue side is going to be.
The back half on the chemistry outlook.
It's primarily going to be focused on North America, we've obviously showing some resilience relative to.
D correlating with the declining active frac fleets.
But.
We're just taking a conservative look as it relates to our guidance in the back half of the year recognizing.
And that ultimately may come to see us on the chemistry side on the data side, we feel really good given the fact that.
As we continue to bring more power tech units online throughout the year that revenue stream is expected to increase sequentially in the third quarter and then again in the fourth quarter. So that's obviously going to be supportive to revenue and obviously with the margins that those assets put up supportive to the adjusted EBITDA guidance.
Understood. Thanks, and then maybe just a.
More of a strategic question for Ryan I mean, it's been in the <unk>.
Credibly busy the last 12 months of expansion.
And to a number of different business lines.
Also growing internationally et cetera is it safe to say that over the next sort of six to nine months. The company is going to be more focused on executing with what you've acquired and built or are there other things that youre looking at on the M&A side that could ultimately complement some of these.
Moving forward, maybe just how youre thinking about that would be helpful. Thanks.
Okay.
Look at <unk>.
Ill look at that this is a.
Albeit there is what I would consider to be macro headwinds.
I'll look at this period over the next six to eight months as a great opportunity for the company to further advance our strategy.
There's no doubt we're heavily focused on and our operations teams at commissioning the new assets that we're building and the growth of our power Tech business and expansion of custody transfer and our.
Chemistry technologies segments are.
Significantly focused on further expanding the adoption of our <unk>.
Complementary services that help improve reservoir, but I do believe if you look at where we sit in the value that we bring those opportunities for not only.
Do potential activity that could expand our data analytics footprint, but also look for opportunities that do both in the growth of chemistry and data and so I think that for US we're going to continue to look at focus of opportunities to do some potential.
Inorganic activities that could expand what we do in our footprint that combine the chemical sales with more our measure more plus control strategy on the data side. So.
We will be selectively looking at ways to potentially consolidate came to your businesses and to grow our data analytics business is August one core value as that.
They are accretive immediately to the business and so that's that's the driving factor there.
