Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let's analyze the transcript. The call covers ExxonMobil's Q2 2018 results. The management discusses various projects and growth. We need to find if there is any mention of existing customers or partners who, based on prior experience, are requesting more than the company can currently deliver, and the company is building to meet that demand. Key points: The transcript discusses upstream, downstream, chemical. There is mention of Guyana, Permian, LNG, etc. But we need to look for specific language about proven counterparties asking for more. Search for terms like "customer", "demand", "request", "asking", "more than", "capacity", "expand", "build", "grow", "existing", "repeat", "partner", "distributor", "buyer", "order", "commitment". I see mentions of "demand" in the context of LNG, chemicals, etc. But is there a specific situation where existing buyers are asking for more than the company can supply? For example, in LNG, there is mention of growing demand, but is it from existing customers? The transcript says: "we see the demand for liquefied natural gas continuing to grow. We see that the major buyers around the world increasingly look for diversity of supply." That seems like general market demand, not specifically from proven repeat counterparties. In the Permian, they talk about production growth, but that's about their own production, not about customers asking for more. In Guyana, they talk about resource estimates and FPSOs, but that's about their own development. In Downstream, they talk about higher-value sales, but not about customers asking for more than they can supply. There is mention of "we've secured offtake for associated gas through 2020" and "active negotiations for additional capacity" - that's about securing offtake, not about customers asking for more. There is mention of "we've executed multiple contracts that will enhance pipeline capacity" - that's about logistics. The question is specifically about counterparties that have already bought and are now asking for more than the company can supply.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
