Investing in a hub Sample Clauses

Investing in a hub. The group of oil companies have to decide whether investing Nyhamna to be a potential hub or not by taking the most cost efficient way. The decision mainly depends on the location, capacity and demand of pipeline infrastructure system. Nyhamna is a located in the Northeast of the island of Akura. It is a process plant which receives gas from Ormen Xxxxx. It is possible that the gas demand will be high during the initial two years at Nyhamna and then the demand may be decreased.

In this situation, the gas demand at Nyhamna might be fallen to a low level.

With the limitation of current information, it is hard to make a decision that whether to invest in Nyhamna as a potential hub. With enough capacity and more gas fields landed to Nyhamna, the oil companies may get more pay off in the future. It could be a good chance of those companies to go into a new period of profitable growth. We had an interview with Xx Xxxx Xxxxx Hollen on 22th Feb 2010.
