U.S. Natural Gas Development Argan is participating in Marcellus Shale Region development activities with the object of developing large- scale power plants. The approach is to take principal positions in the initial stages of development, secure the rights for an EPC contract for the large scale power plant to be built on the development site. Argan then sells its interests in the site to the ultimate developer of the power plant. Argan has consummated the Moxie Liberty project with the acquisition by Panda Power Funds. Argan anticipates the consummation of the sale of Moxie Patriot site during the calendar year 2013.
