新南威爾斯州政府重啟天然氣勘探,以緩解東海岸即將出現的供應缺口。

By

-- 新南威爾斯州政府週三宣布,已開放班卡尼亞(Bancannia)和龐迪山脈(Pondie Range)槽地進行天然氣勘探,這是該州十多年來首次開放新的勘探區域,旨在應對預計的能源短缺。 為刺激投資並保持區域競爭力,政府表示將“更新法規”,將勘探許可證申請費從5萬澳元(35,793美元)大幅削減至1,000澳元。 這項政策調整旨在保障工業部門的原料供應,該部門消耗了該州40%的天然氣,並在再生能源滲透率不斷提高的情況下,為電網提供關鍵的穩定容量。 雖然此舉使新南威爾斯州與其他尋求新的國內儲量的州保持一致,但當局強調,勘探並不保證最終開採。 聲明指出,任何由此產生的項目都必須通過獨立的規劃評估,並符合嚴格的環境和社區諮詢標準。 該舉措是對澳洲能源市場營運商關於東海岸市場供應缺口的警告的直接回應,將天然氣定位為製造業穩定性和電網可靠性的橋樑。

Werner Enterprises' Pivot to Dedicated Services May Reduce Torque, Morgan Stanley Says

Werner Enterprises' (WERN) move away from one-way truckload toward dedicated fleet services just as the market turns may reduce the company's immediate torque to the truckload cycle, Morgan Stanley said in a note Tuesday.Overall, the investment firm said the company may benefit from the shift as the dedicated business is likely to be a "big share-gainer" in an upcycle, with management lifting its full-year dedicated rate guidance on a "very strong" pipeline.Management said Q1 saw the "strongest" pricing inflection in over 3 years and Q2 guidance indicates a modest upside to consensus, while being consistent with Morgan Stanley estimates, according to the note.While one-way truckload revenue per total mile guidance of 1% to 4% growth in Q2 was a little soft versus market trends, management said this reflects the pivot into dedicated, the firm said.Morgan Stanley said Werner remains somewhat of a show-me story within truckload, given the timing of its pivot, completing the FirstFleet acquisition, and proving it has resolved some of its recent cost issues.Morgan Stanley maintained an overweight rating on the stock and lifted the price target to $47 from $45.Shares of Werner Enterprises rose more than 6% in Wednesday trading.Price: $36.68, Change: $+2.28, Percent Change: +6.63%
