As the energy industry continues to suffer from the effects of low oil prices, oil and gas companies are looking to the secondary market to generate needed capital for their now-surplus equipment. This is especially true in the Permian Basin, a significant oil-producing sector in west Texas.
How Permian Basin Companies Are Handling the Challenge of Surplus
A feature story in the Midland Reporter-Telegram, “Sell or hold? Liquidating surplus equipment not easy decision,” discusses the Permian Basin and challenges companies are facing as a result of the depressed energy market. With the uncertainty of the market, oil and gas companies in this region are being cautious. Some are liquidating, while others are waiting to see what will happen in the market. With holding and maintenance costs adding up to as much as 25% per year of the original purchase cost, however, this can be a pricey endeavor.
For these reasons, many companies are enlisting trusted partners, like Liquidity Services, to maximize recovery for their surplus oil and gas assets. A partner helps oil and gas companies make intelligent decisions about their surplus assets and recoup much of their investment by selling to a large global buyer base.
