Allis-Chalmers Acquires Petro Rentals, Inc.
With division offices in Broussard, Houma and Arcadia, Louisiana and Alvin, Texas, Petro Rentals serves both onshore and offshore markets. Established in 1987, Petro Rentals provides a variety of quality rental tools and equipment and services that are vital throughout the life of a well, from drilling through plugging and abandonment, with an emphasis on production related equipment and services.
Petro Rentals offers a wide selection of wire line services and equipment, land and offshore pumping services, and coiled tubing support equipment. In October 2006, Petro Rentals acquired its third coiled tubing unit and expects to take delivery of an additional coiled tubing unit by December 31, 2006.
Micki Hidayatallah, Allis-Chalmers' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The acquisition of Petro Rentals helps us to realize one of our primary objectives of creating a better balance between our drilling-related and production-rental activities. We expect Petro Rentals' coiled tubing division to complement our Production Services segment, which already had two coiled tubing units before this acquisition. With the Petro Rentals acquisition and the additional coiled tubing units on order, we expect to have a total of eight coiled tubing units and 14 capillary tubing units by December 31. With a projected utilization rate of 50%, we are very optimistic about this portfolio of coiled and capillary tubing units contributing significantly to our financial performance. With current estimates of capital expenditures by the E&P companies increasing in 2007 at a rate greater than 15% we feel that Petro Rentals will sustain its EBITDA run rate and through efficient utilization of the new coiled tubing units should increase its EBITDA contribution to Allis-Chalmers Energy to over $11 million."
