Multiple BIG Name Billionaires Take Aim At The Energy Sector
My #1 Energy Play Is American Energy Partners (AEPT)
(This Was A Previous 300% Intraday Gainer)
March 6th, 2020
FierceAnalyst Member,
Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, Jerry Jones and Sam Zell are just a few of the bargain-hunters flocking to the energy industry — the worst-performing sector of 2019.
Chicago billionaire Sam Zell was talking to CNBC “Squawk Box” yesterday about how he’s navigating his investments in the coronavirus scare.
“We think the energy space is really cheap,” Zell said without naming specific companies. “What helps is we were not in the energy space before.”
My #1 Energy Stock Profile Is American Energy Partners (Ticker: AEPT)
This is by far the biggest runner I have ever issued in the energy sector. Look below at the chart, see those HUGE spikes!
AEPT is a previous big-time runner that is once again showing strong upside potential.

Four Of AEPT's Subsidiaries
#1. Hydration Company of PA
Hydration Company of PA focuses on sourcing, implementing and distributing reclaimed water at a profit. This subsidiary’s competitive advantage mainly lies within its pure volume of reclaimed water and its access to low-cost treatment with high flow rates and highly concentrated solids through the technologies of AEPT’s partners. Because of the volume as well as the flexibility of the model established via patent pending methodology and conveyance methods, HCPA can effectively gain market share immediately as large corporations prefer access to one source that can supply massive amounts of reclaimed water regardless of drought conditions.
- HCPA possesses the technical know-how to source, implement and distribute at profit reclaimed water.
- The company can operate out of multiple, predetermined, sites within the U.S.
- The sites differ in terms of geography, storage and water quality. Sites will enable for augmentation or the ability to mitigate during pass-by conditions.
- Augmentation of existing water flow allows HCPA to provide every day water as well as to provide additional waters to the system when low flow conditions are present.
- This is a valuable piece of the model because no matter how long or severe of a drought it gives customers the ability to consume at their intake up to their maximum docketed withdrawal thus granting them pass-by exemption.
#2. American Energy Solutions, Inc.
American Energy Solutions, LLC utilizes a network of partners to provide off-the-shelf and custom-designed treatment technologies that contribute to HCPA’s business model of low-cost treatment and distribution. As a provider of design, this subsidiary is capable of repeatable and synergistic services across the value chain. American Energy’s long-term plan is to utilize an in-house team to grow market share as water use continues to become more critical to the modern industry.
- Through its partners, AES can provide off the shelf and custom designed treatment technologies across our customer base that contribute to HCPA’s business model of low-cost treatment and distribution.
- By providing design of projects, AES is capable of selling repeatable and synergistic services across the value chain.
- In the short-term, AES expects to use and manage a set of strategic partnerships with existing water treatment providers. This will allow AES to evaluate the performance of these consultants and build an in-house team from on the job experience with our partners.
- Long-term AES intends to utilize our in-house team to supplant existing and generate new market share as water use continues to expend as a necessary component of modern industry.
#3. Gilbert Oil & Gas Company
Gilbert Oil & Gas Company is leveraging broad industry valuation experience to move forward on its mission to add shareholder value through drilling, operating, and partnership opportunities in the upstream oil and gas space. Equipped with the in-house capabilities necessary to source and evaluate opportunities for profitability, Gilbert is positioned to become a strong customer of AEPT’s other subsidiaries, providing them with the foundation to attract other customers and enter new markets.
- Leveraging broad industry valuation experience and access to deal flow, Gilbert intends to initially invest in opportunities within the Marcellus and Utica region.
- These may be in the form of ownership of op and non-op stable producing properties, drill to earn projects, joint venture partnerships, and royalty interest purchases.
- Gilbert currently posses all of the capabilities in-house to source and evaluate these types of opportunities for profitability.
- Staff build outs, while initially intended to be minimal, in the long-term will reflect the acquired assets and executed opportunities.

(“American Energy”) (PINK: AEPT), a diversified energy company, announces that Oilfield Basics, a wholly owned subsidiary, is expanding its course catalog.

The course offerings will be geared towards oil and gas production, best practices and cost saving measures as well as professional credit hour certifications.
In addition to industry certifications, courses will count towards Continuing Education Credits with a target market of professional engineers and professional geologists. The target price for these courses will be in line with competitors in the space, with packages of courses to be offered at a discounted rate. As with all economies of scale, we intend to be conscious of our margins as well as the increase in cost as blended services may or may not be added.
Josh Hickman, COO of American Energy Partners, had this to say concerning the expanded catalogue, “American Energy sees providing quality, on demand instruction on needed topics in the Energy, Consulting and Legal industries as a critical growth engine for Oilfield Basics. These courses will fill the niche of high-quality lower-cost education specific to these industries.”
Derek Krieg, President of Oilfield Basics, additionally stated, “Our goal is to make these courses as content-rich as possible -- almost like you are sitting in class with the instructor. Our competitor's solutions in this space are often around 80% or more reading. For Gen Z's, that is not acceptable. Videos and interactive content are going to be a critical part of these courses and our ongoing success.”

GlobeNewswire GlobeNewswire•February 19, 2020
ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania, Feb. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- American Energy Partners, Inc. (“American Energy”) (AEPT), a diversified energy company, issues an update on the recently acquired geological services company, Hickman Geological Consulting, LLC (“HGC”).
Since 2018, Hickman Geological Consulting, LLC has served geotechnical clients in the Greater Pittsburgh region through project management of landslide remediation and expert witness services for lawsuits.

We have seen a 100% average increase in HGC’s monthly revenues since the acquisition of this entity.
The Company is pleased to announce that two additional geotechnical projects related to the remediation of active landslides have been awarded and will start in the spring. These projects will have a significant, positive impact on the revenue of HGC for 2020. An increase in engaged expert witness projects has also been noted that will lead to revenue generation during litigations.
Brad Domitrovitsch, Chairman & CEO of American Energy Partners, Inc., spoke on the subject, “We are pleased with the growth in Hickman Geological’s geotechnical projects.” Reflecting on the acquisition, he went on to say, “When the Company was purchased this was the smaller of the revenue centers and it has grown, as we projected, to be equal with that of the oil and gas valuation services.”
The growth in service sectors referenced above is projected to drive a significant increase in HGC’s top-line revenue, well beyond the $30,000 per month average the Company had generated in 2019.
