Global Equity International Inc. (GEQU) and secondary
group Global Equity Partners Plc. recently announced that VT Hydrocarbon Holdings (VTH) has approved the financial portion of a real estate deal for a piece of land and
facility in Jordan.
The agreement will allow the deal to make significant strides
toward the closing process. Negotiations have been ongoing for a number of
months, and all parties hope the deal between VTH and the seller of the land
will enter a series of actions that will speedily close the deal.
Global Equity Partners Plc., an international consultancy
firm owned by GEQU, has offices in Dubai and London. The group says its client, VTH, will construct and manage hydrocarbon storage facilities in the
Aqaba Special Economic Zone and will grow to mirror those efforts in other
parts of the globe overtime. The company’s strategic plan involves providing Liquid
Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage, as well as other liquid fuel storage, in response
to the 45 percent market deficit in regional countries like Jordan in LPG
supply.
“We have been waiting a long time to get to this point, and
finally matters are moving ahead at a rapid pace,” Peter Smith, CEO of Global
Equity International, said. “Historically, key decisions within the deal have
taken weeks and months to arrive at, hence the reason for the various delays
that this deal has suffered. Now we are moving into new territory on a daily
basis with all parties exactly on the same page heading for the same
conclusion. This will be a transaction we will be delighted to put the
finishing touches to in the very near term.”
Domestic consumption, raw material supplier for
petrochemicals and fuel for ships are the main reasons behind the increase in
demand in LPG. Storage for Liquid Petroleum Gas — which is highly needed to
provide security, price stability and a steady supply — is lacking in
Jordan and the surrounding areas. VTH will fill that void by offering the
largest, most innovative storage units for LPG, along with the planning needed
to support the region.
