About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Water Tower Research Publishes Initiation of Coverage Report on VAALCO Energy, Inc. Titled “A Balanced Portfolio of African E&P Assets”

December 19, 2022, ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Water Tower Research (www.watertowerresearch.com) has published an Initiation of Coverage Report on VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EGY) titled, “A Balanced Portfolio of African E&P Assets”. The report can be accessed here.

VAALCO is an Africa-focused exploration and production company whose primary focus has been on producing assets offshore Gabon and exploration opportunities offshore Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. On October 14, 2022, VAALCO closed the stock-for-stock acquisition of TransGlobe Energy Corporation. The combined entity owns a diversified portfolio of producing assets and prospects in Gabon, Egypt, Canada, and Equatorial Guinea. The acquisition increased VAALCO’s pro forma proved reserves (1P) to 32 MMBOE from 11 MMBOE and proved plus probable (2P) reserves to 51 MMBOE from 17 MMBOE. Management forecasts a year-end 2022 production exit rate of 19.5-20.0 MBOE/d, the midpoint of which more than doubles VAALCO’s 3Q22 output.

The expanded resource base created through the TransGlobe acquisition provides VAALCO with a balanced mix of producing assets, each with incremental development potential, in Gabon, Egypt, and Canada, and exploration exposure in Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Egypt. Project variety provides capital allocation options that can be adjusted as economic conditions warrant between long-cycle and short-cycle investment opportunities.

The TransGlobe acquisition should drive significant production, EBITDA, and free cash flow growth in 2023. Management has not provided a 2023 operating outlook yet. Our preliminary estimates incorporate average sales volumes of ~18.5 BOE/d and an average Brent oil price of $90/bbl to generate $351 million of EBITDA and $127 million of free cash flow.

The combined entity’s increased scale and cash flow generation capacity are expected to fund increased cash returns to shareholders. Management is committed to enhancing such returns to shareholders and has indicated that the annualized dividend will be increased to $0.25/share beginning in 1Q23 from $0.13/share currently. The board has also authorized a $30-million share repurchase plan.
