Minority Business Certification
MINORITY
BUSINESS CERTIFICATION
There are unique
marketing opportunities available since Quantum is a Certified Minority
Business Enterprise ("MBE").
This allows Quantum to receive a premium
from specific markets for the sales of its natural gas and condensate
(oil products) produced by the Wells on the Leases that
Quantum acquires. Quantum is an active member of the National Council of
Minorities in Energy ("NCME"), whose purpose is to increase
opportunities for minority business participation in the energy
industry. NCME has developed and implemented strategies which have
enhanced strong relationships with major natural gas purchasers
throughout the U.S.A. Such relationships can provide significantly
higher revenues received for the natural gas and oil produced.
