		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a larger-than-expected increase in natural gas supplies, as mild temperatures in parts of the country have restricted the commodity’s requirement for power burn. The injection – the ninth in 2012 – has added to already bloated inventories. Gas stocks – currently some 40% above the benchmark five-year average levels – are at their highest point for this time of the year, reflecting low demand amid robust onshore output. This has constantly pressured spot prices that slipped to a 10-year low in April. However, the most recent build – though above expectations – was still significantly lower than the average for this time, cutting the surplus relative to last year and the five-year average.

		<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). This can be attributed to an increase in the tally of both oil and natural gas-directed rigs. In particular, the natural gas rig count climbed for only the third time in 2012, while the oil rig count scaled another record high. 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.

The injection – the fifth in 2012 – has added to already bloated inventories, thereby pressuring spot prices that slipped to a new 31-month low.

		<description><![CDATA[U.K. oil giant BP Plc (BP) intends to reap the benefits of an impending northeast Ohio oil and gas boom in the Utica/Point Pleasant shale formation, with an estimated recoverable potential of approximately 5.5 billion barrels of oil. As part of this effort, BP has inked a deal with the Associated Landowners of the Ohio Valley (ALOV) – a body representing individual mineral owners in the region – to lease around 84,000 acres in Trumbull County, Ohio, a high potential formation in the region. Financial terms of the agreement were not revealed. The Utica shale lies at a depth of about 6,000 feet. With a thickness similar to that of Marcellus and other attractive prospects, the formation is contemplated to be a substantial liquids-rich gas resource.

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (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. In particular, the natural gas rig count dropped for the eleventh time in as many weeks, to touch a new 10-year low. 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.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed an in-line build-up in natural gas supplies, as record-warm March temperatures across the country have restricted the commodity’s requirement for power burn. In fact, the first injection of 2012 has added to the already bloated inventories. Gas stocks – currently some 50% above benchmark levels – are at their highest point for this time of the year, reflecting low demand amid robust onshore output. The Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report – brought out by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) every Thursday since 2002 – includes updates on natural gas market prices, the latest storage level estimates, recent weather data and other market activities or events.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a larger-than-expected drop in natural gas supplies, as imports from Canada declined. However, this is largely seen as a one-off shot, with warmer-than-normal temperatures across most of the country restricting the commodity’s requirement for power burn. In fact, gas stocks – currently 45% above benchmark levels – are at their highest point for this time of the year, reflecting low demand amid robust onshore output.

The U.K. giant plans to sell its entire share in the natural gas producing fields in Kansas as well as a gas processing plant for a total consideration of $1.2 billion in cash. The agreement, which is expected to close on March 30, 2012, is pending customary closing conditions as well as necessary governmental and regulatory approvals.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a larger-than-expected drop in natural gas supplies, as production remained flat and pipeline imports from Canada declined. However, this is largely seen as a one-off shot, with warmer-than-normal temperatures across most of the country restricting the commodity’s requirement for power burn. In fact, gas stocks – currently 40% above benchmark levels – are at their highest point for this time of the year, reflecting low demand amid robust onshore output.

		<description><![CDATA[Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK), the second-largest U.S. natural-gas producer, seeks to fill the funding gap for its 2012 expenditure that resulted from the low natural gas prices, through divestitures. The company plans to raise as much as $10 billion to $12 billion from assets sales and joint ventures to cope with the mounting debt level and sinking gas prices. Chesapeake, like its peer ConocoPhillips (COP), has been keeping gas production under check in response to the weak natural gas prices. Gas prices plummeted to a 10-year low of $2.231 per million British thermal units on January 23, 2012. Consequently, last week, Chesapeake announced the curtailment of its daily gas production by 500 million cubic feet. The company plans to double that amount to cut its spending. The decade-low natural gas ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (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 natural gas-directed rigs, partially offset by an improved oil rig count. 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. Analysis of the Data Weekly Summary: Rigs engaged in exploration and production in the U.S. totaled 1,989 for the week ended February 10, 2012. This was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Tuesday, January 24, 2012: Issue #1693 There’s an old saying that goes something like this: “In the valley of the blind, the ‘one-eyed man’ is king.” If you seriously consider what I’m about to show you, this old saying could well ring true for your investment portfolio at the end of this year. Perhaps even before. Let me explain… At roughly $2.41 per million Btu, U.S. natural gas prices are in the dumpster. The truth is, they’ve been declining for years. But the recent shale gas boom accelerated their fall. Now they’re the lowest they’ve been in over a decade. If it gets any cheaper, the companies that supply it will be paying you to take it. You see, they have a huge ]]></description>

With no major economic data or earnings results from any bellwether coming to forefront, benchmarks took a pause a day ahead of Apple’s results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.1% to close the day at 12,708.82. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.05% and settled almost unchanged at 1,316. The Nasdaq Composite Index edged down 0.09% and finished trading for the day at 2,784.17. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index ended slightly higher at 18.67.

		<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[Over the last few years, a quiet revolution has been reshaping the energy business in the U.S. Known as ‘shale gas’ – natural gas trapped within dense sedimentary rock formations, or shale formations – it is being seen as a game changer, set to usher in an era of energy independence for the country. This unconventional fuel source is expected to transform domestic energy supply in the future decades by providing a potentially inexpensive and abundant new source of fuel for the world’s largest energy consumer. Huge Geographic Potential According to the Annual Energy Outlook 2011 published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. possesses 2,543 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of potential natural gas resources. Of this, natural gas from shale resources accounts for 862 Tcf. In fact, more ]]></description>

However, the total working gas in storage is still well above the 5-year historical range, as mild weather continues to restrict the commodity’s demand for power burn amid robust production. In fact, the most recent inventory-build has taken the storage level to a new all-time high.

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa is playing host to the climate conference, which opens today in the city of Durban. Climate change conferences focus on reducing global temperatures, which appear to accelerate global warming. The Kyoto Protocol (1997), the game-changer in climate negotiations had identified developed countries as primarily responsible for high levels of green house gas emissions following decades of unbridled industrialization. The protocol requires countries to lower emissions according to pre-agreed targets. The commitment period that started in 2008 will conclude in 2012. Therefore, the Durban conference comes at an important juncture. Governments had agreed last year that emissions need to be reduced to keep global temperature rises at less than 2 degrees Celsius. However, according to EU negotiator Artur Runge-Metzger, recent reports caution that the world was looking at warming ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Obama Administration has set its eyes on developing domestic shale gas (natural gas trapped within dense rock formations) from sources such as the vast Marcellus Shale, which stretches from New York to Virginia. Besides being significantly cheaper than crude oil, reliance on shale gas will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change issues are dominating international forums. The U.S. has committed to reduce carbon emissions by 7% in 2012. Shale gas makes sound economic sense and would ensure cleanliness. It also represents a viable energy strategy vis a vis the stranglehold of OPEC, which accounts for 42% of global oil supplies and 18% of natural gas. Moreover, the substitution of domestic shale gas for coal/imported crude oil has other advantages, such as aiding local industry and employment and addressing balance ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Tuesday, November 15, 2011: Issue #1643 Most natural gas drillers have been scrambling to reposition their drill rigs over oil-rich acreage… And why not? With oil once again hovering near the $100-a-barrel mark, you can hardly blame them. But Monday’s news from BHP Billiton Limited (NYSE: BHP) contradicts that notion. Billiton announced that it plans to spend somewhere around $4.5 billion on shale gas development. That’s not a typo. Perhaps even more amazing is that’s just what it’s going to spend next year. That’s an enormous amount of money compared to what some other natural gas companies are spending. Many of them have repositioned their rigs and their business plans around drilling for shale oil. But the real message Billiton is telegraphing is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) is contemplating to squeeze value from its oil-field service business – Chesapeake Oilfield Services LLC – by spinning it off in a public stock offering. The company aims to create value for investors and enhance the share price of the parent company. Chesapeake plans to hold on to a majority stake of about 80% in the separated entity once it goes public. Chesapeake will try to have a hold over the service company’s board and simultaneously retain as much stock as it can. The spun off company’s operation will mainly be for Chesapeake. Post separation, the new entity would be one of the largest service firms in the U.S. with 114 drilling rigs, a vast trucking fleet and a large hydraulic-fracturing business. Management has valued the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Friday, November 11, 2011 A few days ago, I wrote about the incredible growth in the liquid portion of North Dakota’s Bakken formation. If you want the short version, read on. The Bakken is an oil- and natural gas-rich formation covering a 200,000 square mile area encompassing parts of Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan. According to an April 2008 survey by the USGS, it’s estimated to contain as much as 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable reserves. While initially drilling activity was slow and drill rigs were sparse, it eventually picked up. Rapid growth ensued starting in 2006, and continues to the present day. The reason production saw such a rapid rise was the introduction of horizontal drilling and fracking, similar to what’s fueled ]]></description>

(Courtesy: EIA, ODNR) Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) is leading the charge, with Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and Hess (NYSE: HES) recently investing heavily in the region, as well. “We’re quite confident about the [Utica] play,” Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon told analysts on the company’s second-quarter earnings call.

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Thursday, October 6, 2011 The Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently released its International Energy Outlook 2011. It’s the EIA’s annual 25-year energy forecast, and it contains important information for investors who are considering an investment in the energy sector. Not surprisingly, liquid oil’s share of world energy consumption is predicted to decrease from 34 percent in 2008 to 29 percent in 2035. The decrease is based on dwindling supplies, which are likely to keep prices high. This will prompt users to switch to alternative fuels whenever possible. As expected, two of the main alternatives expected to flourish in production by 2035 will be petroleum from oil sands and natural gas from shale and other unconventional sources. Alternative Petroleum Production According to the EIA, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Steve McDonald, Contributing Editor, Investment U Monday, October 3, 2011 What’s going on in Ohio is nothing short of a gas rights frenzy! Just when it seemed like the United States was becoming the Saudi Arabia of gas, Eastern Ohio starts oozing some of the richest shale gas and gas liquids ever discovered. The Utica shale lies under eight northeastern states and parts of Ontario. Experts believe it could be the richest shale, gas liquids, gas and oil find yet. Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) claims the value of their gas rights in this undeveloped, lesser-known shale play have increased by 10 times the original amount since initial purchase. Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) is paying twice the previous value for gas rights in Ohio. ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), fresh off its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Thursday, September 29, 2011 The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) released a very bullish projection this month on the economic impact of Utica shale activity in the region. The report predicted that Utica shale production could generate 204,500 jobs in just four years and infuse billions into the regional economy. It follows claims by Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) that the Utica is “analogous” to the Eagle Ford. It also claimed that its holdings in the region could generate up to $20 billion for shareholders – greater than its entire current market cap. “The play reminded us of the Eagle Ford shale, which is distinctive because it’s a three-phase play of dry gas, wet gas and liquids,” Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon said. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ExxonMobil Corporation (XOM) is all set to exploit Ohio’s Utica Shale, supposedly one of the biggest sources of crude oil in the United States. The company has made its entry into the oil-rich fields of Utica Shale by acquiring leases in it. Exxon declined to divulge details regarding the acreage acquired or the amount paid.  But people familiar with the matter said that the company might have signed the leases for $4,950 per acre along with 19% on production royalties. The Utica is a buried rock formation spreading across eight states. It stretches from Tennessee to New York, as well as parts of Canada. The formation lies roughly 3,000 to 7,000 feet beneath the Marcellus Shale play with thickness ranging between 200 feet to 400 feet across the most prospective ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attentive investors may have noted an announcement last week by the large South Africa-based energy and chemicals company Sasol (SSL). The firm said it was commencing an eighteen-month feasibility study to determine the commercial viability of one of two options: either a two million tons per annum or four million tons per annum Gas-to-Liquids, or ‘GTL,’ production facility in southwestern Louisiana. This would be the first GTL facility in the United States, indeed in the Western hemisphere. The liquids produced are expected to be generally kerosene and allied products, for diesel or jet fuel. This could be the start of a major movement to, effectively, substitute abundant, cheap natural gas produced within North America, for expensive, imported crude oil. The economic, balance of payments, financial and investment implications are enormous. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Tuesday, September 20, 2011: Issue #1604 By now, everyone should know about America’s abundance of natural gas. Most of the new supplies are coming primarily from the development of major shale plays. The Marcellus, the Haynesville, the Barnett and others are examples of where most of the new gas is coming from. Once a new well is producing gas, it can’t simply be connected to the main transmission line and piped to the end user. It has to be treated first. While processing and treating natural gas is far less complicated than processing crude oil, it’s just as necessary. Unless and until a company’s gas can get treated, it’s going nowhere. Processing “Pipeline Quality” Natural Gas The natural gas we use is composed ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a larger-than-expected build-up in natural gas supplies on the back of higher production, as well as benign fall temperatures that restricted the commodity’s demand for power burn. The Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report brought out by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) every Thursday since 2002 – includes updates on natural gas market prices, the latest storage level estimates, recent weather data and other market activities or events. The report provides an overview of the level of reserves and their movements, thereby helping investors understand the demand/supply dynamics of natural gas. It is an indicator of current gas prices and volatility that affect businesses of natural gas-weighted companies and related support plays like Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC), Chesapeake Energy (CHK), EnCana Corp. (ECA), ]]></description>
