ARM Energy Holdings, leading energy services firm, announced this Thursday the acquisition of Boomerang Energy, a Calgary-based energy marketing firm. The acquisition aims to expand ARM’s services portfolio and expertise.
Firstly, Boomerang provides energy marketing advice and services to oil, natural gas; as well as liquified natural gas, sulphur and electricity companies.
Its trading expertise and the leadership of Jeff Smith and Stephen Frank attracted ARM Energy into buying it. Secondly, after the acquisition closes, Boomerang Energy will be an affiliate of ARM, and a team of Boomerang will join ARM.
Thirdly, Boomerang was founded in 2001; since then, the company became one of Canada’s largest physical marketing advisors. Its team has decades of experience in oil, gas, LNG, sulphur and electricity marketing, as said above.
On the other hand, ARM Energy launched its Canadian business in 2014. It is headquartered in Houston, Texas, but also has offices in Denver. As of now, it is a premier producer services firm, active in every sector of the energy value chain across all major North American oil and gas basins.
