		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks struggled to find definite direction yesterday as the lack of news left them swinging between small gains and losses. By the closing bell, the energy sector had dented the S&#38;P 500, while investors’ apprehensions about Hewlett-Packard’s decision of merging its printing and personal computing businesses dragged down the Dow. However, tech shares boosted the Nasdaq into the positive zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.3% to settle at 13,124.62. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged down 0.2% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,402.89. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was the only gainer among the other benchmarks and moved up by 0.04% to settle at 3,075.32. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was down 2.9% and finished at 15.13. Total volumes on the New York ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Encouraging domestic economic data and the massive monetary injection by the European Central Bank (ECB) lifted the benchmarks modestly higher on Thursday. The day was somewhat marred by dismal economic data and news of explosion on an unknown Saudi oil pipeline. However, investors preferred the positives and the markets did finish in the green though it came down from its day’s highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.2% and closed at 12,980.30. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.6% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,374.09.

(BHI) reported a dip in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country). This can be primarily attributed to a decrease in the tally of both oil and natural gas-directed rigs. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp. (NE), Nabors Industries (NBR), Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN), Helmerich &#38; Payne (HP), etc. in gauging the overall business environment of the oil and gas industry.

		<description><![CDATA[Among the most commonly asked questions by energy investors this new year is: will low natural gas prices continue in 2012 or will we see a durable rebound in prices from their multi-year plight? From a peak of about $13.60 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2008 (referring to spot prices at the Henry Hub, the benchmark supply point in Louisiana) to around $3.00 now – sinking in between to a low of $2.50 in September 2009 – the plummeting value of natural gas represents a decline of over 75% over three years. In fact, prices have been low, roughly around $4.00 per MMBtu, during this timeframe. Thanks to this steep fall, industry participants are pressing the panic button. But it Hasn’t Always Been this Way… It wasn’t long ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not all the important news is centered on Greece and Italy. The International Energy Agency, or IEA, this week released its World Energy Outlook. The IEA is not some wild-eyed &#8220;peak oil/global warming&#8221; fringe group. They are about as mainstream and staid a group as you are going to find. The bullet points below come from the fact sheet associated with the report (see here). I comment on the implications, particularly the investment implications after each bullet point. Major events of the last year have had an impact on short- and medium-term energy trends, but have done little to quench the world’s increasing thirst for energy in the long term. The level and pattern of energy use worldwide varies markedly across the three scenarios in this year’s World Energy Outlook ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Houston, Texas-based Schlumberger Limited (SLB)’s local branch secured the right to drill a mature oil field offered by Mexico’s state oil monopoly Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) after the original winner – Mexican concern Administradora en Proyectos de Campos – failed to comply with the legal formalities of the contract and did not furnish the required financial backing for the project. The contract to extract oil from the Carrizo field was given to Schlumberger as it was the bidder with the second lowest bid in the public tender process held in August. Schlumberger will charge $9.40 per barrel of oil for the onshore field which is lower than Pemex ceiling price of $12.31. The terms of the original tender remains unchanged. The contract, which is Pemex’ one of the first incentive-based proposal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil Mounting worries about Europe&#8217;s debt crisis, a persistently weak U.S. jobs market and less-than-encouraging guidance from the Federal Reserve have been weighing on investor sentiment, weakening oil prices to around $85 a barrel. Apprehensions about high U.S. crude stocks, the release of emergency oil supplies from government-held strategic reserves into the world market, and uncertainty over oil supply disruptions in the Middle East have added to the negative sentiment. These issues have stoked fears about the demand outlook for oil that has seen the commodity’s price plummet to 12-month lows earlier in the month. Incidentally, crude prices zoomed past the $110 per barrel level during the first half of the year. As per the latest release by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), which provides official energy statistics ]]></description>

It’s running out of “easy to get” oil. Oil companies aren’t chasing the vast amounts of fuel trapped in shale or tar sands because they want to… These sources are becoming the only ones left as production at the largest inland oil fields is declining, or is at least expected to soon. In its 2010 World Energy Outlook, the International Energy Agency estimated that approximately 40 percent of the oil production needed by 2020 has yet to be found or developed. By 2030, it will likely be closer to 60 percent. For the foreseeable future, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Friday, September 9, 2011 This past April 21, according to Baker Hughes Inc.’s (NYSE: BHI) weekly rotary rig count, the number of rigs drilling for oil surpassed those drilling for natural gas. Back in May, I wrote an article on the big shift away from drilling for natural gas in favor of oil. At the time, there were 984 rigs drilling for oil. Just a couple of months later, on June 24, the count reached 1,003. That was the first time since Baker Hughes began separating the oil and gas rig counts in 1987 that the 1,000 mark was breached. Its latest report confirms the frenetic pace at which companies have shifted to oil drilling. In its August 26 report, Baker Hughes indicated ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes (BHI) has launched a new wellbore clean-up and displacement system. This will be utilized to ensure equipment efficiency as well as minimum hazards while operating in high-cost environments such as deepwater applications; horizontal, extended-reach, and deviated wells; deep wells; and wells with high dogleg severity. The latest generation cyclone-based system –– X-Treme Clean XP –– is expected to clear off dregs and scraps more effectively. The system leverages the most advanced technologies used in the industry. Its application is also much safer and convenient compared to the previous iterations. Management believes that the system will be highly beneficial for customers who operate in difficult yet high-value fields. The technique is planned to provide a high level of performance that will moderate the risks. Houston, Texas-based ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Schlumberger Limited (SLB) announced that it will acquire the remaining shares of Framo Engineering AS from Frank Mohn AS that gives a boost to its subsea footprint. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the company did not reveal any financial details. Norway-based, privately-owned Framo Engineering is the leading supplier of multiphase subsea pump and meter. It is mainly engaged in developing, manufacturing as well as selling products and services relating to multiphase pumps and subsea pump-systems, multiphase metering systems, and swivels and marine systems. The latest deal adds 47.25% to Schlumberger’s share in Frank Mohn to its initial holding of 52.75%. Framo’s focus on the development of new technology for oil and gas production from subsea wells, mainly in the promising deepwater market, entitles Schlumberger ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Thursday, June 23, 2011 When Michael Steele first coined the phrase “drill, baby, drill” during a speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention, he suggested the United States needed to increase drilling for oil and gas and to become more energy independent. No kidding… But since then – believe it or not – “drill, baby, drill” is exactly what’s been happening… How Much Drilling is More Drilling? Domestic production is currently at its highest level since 2003. In spite of a massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and an administration largely opposed to increased drilling and fossil fuels in general. If you need proof, look at the Baker Hughes Inc. (NYSE: BHI) weekly rotary rig counts. The oilfield services company keeps track ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to think of energy companies in broad strokes. Either there are the big integrated firms, or there are hundreds of independent E&#38;P firms, drillers, and refiners. But, of course, in between are lots of companies that specialize in providing services to all these firms. Names like Halliburton (HAL), Schlumberger (SLB), and Baker-Hughes (BHI) are the big players here. Oilfield services is an industry group with 32 companies in it currently, according to the Zacks Industry Rank which follows about 4,400 equities. And two smaller companies that stand out this week &#8212; with a better earnings front than the three giants &#8212; are Basic Energy Services (BAS) and Key Energy Services (KEG), both of which are Zacks #1 Rank (strong buy) stocks.

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, investors enjoyed some cheer as the markets broke their six-day losing streak buoyed by positive data on export levels and a shrinking trade deficit. While this report provided optimism about a recovery in the economy, job data once again failed to suggest any improvement. Additionally, experts opine that this is a short-lived technical bounce back and expect the S&#38;P 500 to trace back to its March low of 1,250. The markets finally found a place in the positive zone after ending in the red for six consecutive days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbed up 0.6% to settle at 12,124.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.7% and finished the day at 1,289.00. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,684.87, after jumping 0.4%. The fear ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[World oil production rebounded by 2.2% in 2010 to reach 82.095 million barrels per day (B/D), up from 80.278 million B/D in 2009, but virtually unchanged from 2008 levels. World oil consumption, though, increased by 3.1% to hit 87.382 million B/D. Due to the inclusion of non-oil additives in the consumption figures (especially ethanol) and some unavoidable differences in definitions, consumption always runs higher than production, so don’t read the differences in levels as meaning that world oil inventories fell by over 5 million barrels per day. The differences in the level of change are, however, worth looking at. Changes Over Longer Term Since 2000, world production has risen by 9.6% and world consumption has risen by 14.1%. Oil giant BP (BP) has just released its statistical review of world ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) reported a rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country), primarily reflecting an increase in the tally of land rigs. In particular, there were more rigs drilling for oil than gas for the seventh week in a row as the companies look to capitalizing on soaring oil prices, which are currently trending at around $100 a barrel. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp. (NE), Pride International (PDE), Nabors Industries (NBR), Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) and Helmerich &#38; Payne (HP) in gauging the overall business environment of the oil and gas ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After four consecutive weeks of losses, investor hopes were dashed once again this week as weak economic data dragged the indices down to their fifth straight week of losses. On Friday, weak jobs data from the Labor department ensured that indices remained in the red, reflecting a slowing economic recovery. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.8% to settle at 12,151.26. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed a little less than 1.0% to close at 1,300.16. The Nasdaq Composite Index finished the day at 2,732.78, after shedding 1.5%. On the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were weak at 6.84 billion shares, compared with last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday trading action in crude oil saw the black gold stick its head above $100, which may be the least psychologically-significant round number out there since the people who do the trading are mostly professional speculators and energy companies who have lots of other things on their minds. In essence, this is not a retail market driven by reactionary extremes of emotion as much as it is a battle of titans who use either arsenals of supply/demand data or algorithmic trading firepower, or both, to move the price. Despite the occasional fear spike due to Middle East tensions, or covert price manipulation at physical market delivery hubs (as is being investigated regarding the 2008 price highs above $140), the pros aren&#8217;t scrambling to buy tops and sell bottoms because they ]]></description>

(BHI) reported a rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country), primarily reflecting an increase in the tally of land rigs.
