Cypress Environmental Partners L P's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The pipeline inspection business is highly competitive. Pipeline Inspection’s competition consists primarily of three types of companies: independent energy inspection firms, engineering and construction firms, and diversified inspection service firms. Diversified inspection firms may inspect, for example, electric and nuclear facilities in addition to pipelines and related facilities. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our business include gaining and maintaining customer approval to service their pipelines, facilities and gathering systems, the ability to recruit and retain qualified experienced inspectors with multiple skills and non-destructive examination experience, safety record, insurance, the level of inspector training provided, reputation, dependability of services, customer service, and price.
Integrity Services
The pipeline integrity services business (hydrotesting) is highly competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our business are customer service, safety, and price. Our competition consists primarily of smaller regional integrity firms and pipeline construction companies that pipeline owners allow to test their own construction and repair work.
Water Services
The water and environmental services business is highly competitive with relatively low barriers of entry. During 2014, competitors opened a number of new locations around our existing facilities based upon anticipated new drilling activity prior to a downturn in the oil and gas industry beginning in November 2014. Our competition consists primarily of smaller regional companies that utilize a variety of disposal methods and generally serve specific geographical markets. In addition, we face competition from other large oil field service companies that also own trucking operations and our customers, who may have the option of using internal disposal methods instead of outsourcing to us or to another third-party disposal company. Many E&P companies also own their own salt water disposal facilities and water gathering systems, and therefore do not send their produced water to third parties for disposal. We believe that the principal competitive differentiating factors in our businesses include gaining and maintaining customer approval of salt water disposal facilities, location of facilities in relation to customer activity, reputation, safety record, reliability of service, track record of environmental and regulatory compliance, customer service, insurance coverage, and price.
