		<description><![CDATA[It’s crazy to think that in just the last three years, China has become the world’s second largest economy, the world’s largest energy consumer, and the world’s second largest oil consumer. A recent PriceWaterhouseCoopers report even estimates, “China could be the largest economy in the world as early as 2020…” Whether it happens by then, I honestly don’t know. But neither does anyone else. In fact, long-term estimates like these are almost never right. There’s one thing you can count on, though. No matter when (or even if) China takes the number one spot in the global economy, it’s going to require a great deal of energy either way. And it’s more important than ever investors take a close look at what’s going on. Because, when it comes to energy, ]]></description>

		<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[Energy and basic materials took the benchmarks modestly higher on Friday, snapping a three-day losing streak. However, meager gains failed to prevent the Dow and S&#38;P 500 from suffering their worst weekly performance this year. Global economic concerns weighed on investors through the week and their influence carried onto Friday. Moreover, tepid housing data made matters worse on Friday, limiting gains. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.3% and closed the day at 13,080.73. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was also up 0.3% and finished Friday’s trading session at 1,397.11. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index edged up 0.1% and settled at 3,067.92.

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.

		<description><![CDATA[In May 2008 a call from a major brokerage was heard round the world. It was the “super spike” in the price of oil which called for prices to dramatically increase from the $115 level to an unthinkable $150-$200 a barrel. This call came from the same analyst that three years earlier saw $100 barrel crude when sweet Texas tea was hovering close to $60. The earlier call was also a somewhat unthinkable prospect. Recently, we got another call from the same brokerage… just a different analyst this time. The call isn’t quite the same, but the idea is. Oil prices are expected to move higher. We will leave the details of Iran or supply and demand out of this discussion and focus on how we can best position our ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ConocoPhillips’ (COP) tentative agreement with the Colorado State Land Board worth $137 million has established a new mineral-lease record. ConocoPhillips plans to lease an oil and gas mineral rights lying in the east of Aurora at the old Lowry bombing range for around $6,500 per acre. In addition, ConocoPhillips will pay a royalty of 20% on the value of any oil and gas extracted from the Lowry range. The company has a deal for rights on 21,048 acres of land and is expected to close in the beginning of April. ConocoPhillips’ bid of $6,500 per acre beat the previous record of $5,850 per acre set in August 2011 for mineral rights under a 320-acre parcel in WeldCounty.

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil Signs of progress in resolving Europe&#8217;s long-running sovereign debt crisis and a tightening global supply picture in view of the geopolitical fallout over Iran&#8217;s alleged nuclear ambitions have been keeping oil prices at elevated levels. Partly offsetting this favorable view has been high U.S. crude stocks and worries about China’s growth outlook. As such, crude oil’s near-term fundamentals remain mixed, to say the least. The long-term outlook for oil, however, remains favorable given the commodity’s constrained supply picture. In particular, while the Western economies exhibit sluggish growth prospects, global oil consumption is expected to get a boost from continued strength in the major emerging powers like India, China and Brazil that continue to grow at a healthy rate. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), which provides ]]></description>

By the end of the week we should have a very good handle on just how weak or strong this earnings season will be. The firms reporting next week read like a who’s who of American industry.  They.include: Abbott Labs (ABT), Apple (AAPL), Automatic Data Processing (ADP), AT&#38;T (T), Boeing  (BA), Bristol Myers (BMY), Caterpillar (CAT), CSX (CSX), Chevron (CVX), Colgate Palmolive (CL), Conoco Phillips (COP &#8211; Analyst Report) and DuPont (DD) – and that is just in the first four letters of the alphabet!

		<description><![CDATA[San Ramon, California-based Chevron Corporation (CVX) is one of the six super major oil and gas companies in the world and the second-largest energy firm in the U.S. behind Exxon Mobil (XOM). As a vertically-integrated oil entity, it is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production, refining and marketing of petroleum products, manufacturing of chemicals, and other energy-related businesses. Chevron, in its present form, resulted from the 2001 merger between Texaco and Chevron Corporation. In August 2005, the company acquired Unocal for $18.4 billion. The company divides its operations into three main segments: Exploration and Production; Manufacturing, Products, and Transportation; and Other Businesses. Right at the beginning of 2012, shares of Chevron hit a 52-week high of $110.99. The integrated oil giant has seen its share price climb approximately ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian subsidiary of global integrated energy company Chevron Corp. (CVX) announced the discovery of natural gas in the Satyr-3 well, offshore Western Australia. This discovery, 113 miles north of Exmouth Plateau area, marks Chevron’s thirteenth in the country since mid-2009. Located in the WA-374-P permit block in the Carnarvon Basin, the well was drilled to a water depth of 3,688 feet and encountered approximately 243 feet of net gas pay. Chevron acts as the operator of the block with a 50% interest, while the remaining stake is equally distributed between Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDSA) and Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM). In late December last year, Chevron discovered about 453 feet of net gas pay in Vos-1 well in the same basin. We believe that these exploration successes will boost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets looked beyond the disappointing economic data, as a strong bond auction in Europe and a drop in oil prices reversed the benchmarks’ movement and guided them higher on Thursday. Investors were also discouraged by a lower income forecast from Chevron. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.2% to settle at 12,471.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) posted gains of 0.2% and closed yesterday’s trading session at 1,295.50. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up to 2,724.70, adding 0.5%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) shed 2.8% to settle at 20.47. Total volumes on the New York Stock Exchange were 4.03 billion shares. On the NYSE, for 60% of the stocks that advanced, around 37% stocks moved down. The remaining 3% of the stocks were left unchanged. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that the US unemployment rate has dropped to its lowest level since February 2009 failed to spark a rally on Friday. European concerns weighed on sentiment to drag the benchmarks marginally lower. However, the first week of 2012 ended on a positive note amidst a slew of encouraging economic reports, On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.5% to close the day at 12,359.92. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.3% and closed Friday’s trading session at 1,277.81.

		<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[Markets shed early gains to end mixed after Fitch ratings put seven European economies under credit watch negative. The gains were primarily a result of European developments as Italian government won a confidence vote on austerity measures. It was a choppy session for the benchmarks thanks to &#8220;quadruple-witching,&#8221; which is the expiration of four types of futures contracts. With the possibility of euro nations such as Italy and Spain’s debt ratings being downgraded, benchmarks ended the week sharply lower. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped less than 0.1% to end almost flat at 11,866.93. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.3% and finished at 1,219.66.

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>

(CVX) has been slapped with a fine of R$50 million ($28 million) by Brazil&#8217;s environmental regulator – the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources, or Ibama – following an oil leak 74 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The ruling came after the super-major accepted full responsibility for the spill that began at its deep water Frade field on November 7, about 230 miles from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Chevron’s multi-billion-dollar Frade project, owned in partnership with Brazil’s state-run energy giant Petrobras S.A. (PBR) and a Japanese consortium, was Brazil’s eighth most productive field in September with a daily output of 75,000 barrels of oil. Chevron’s most recent estimates put the size of the leak at approximately 2,400 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. energy behemoth Chevron Corp. (CVX) has been temporarily suspended from ‘all drilling activities’ in Brazil by the country’s oil regulator – Agencia Nacional do Petroleo or ANP – following an oil leak 74 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The agency’s diktat will remain in effect until it identifies the causes of the spill and considers it safe to resume drilling. Chevron has already been slapped with a fine of R$50 million ($28 million) by Brazil&#8217;s environmental regulator. The ruling has come after the super-major accepted full responsibility for the spill that began at its deepwater Frade field on November 7, about 230 miles from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Chevron’s multibillion-dollar Frade project in partnership with Brazil’s state-run energy giant Petrobras S.A. (PBR) and a ]]></description>

The earnings were also better than the year-earlier profit of $1.50. The outperformance was mainly on the back of higher price realizations and better global refining margins, partially offset by lower upstream volumes as well as the absence of equity earnings from LUKOIL and higher taxes. Revenues in the reported quarter jumped more than 28% year over year to $63.6 billion, but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $68.1 billion. Segmental Performance Exploration and Production (E&#38;P): The segment reported adjusted earnings of $2.2 billion during the quarter, reflecting an impressive 45.6% growth from the year-ago level of $1.5 billion. The improvement was aided by higher commodity prices, which were partially offset ]]></description>

According to Bloomberg, Beijing-based Sinopec and CNOOC Ltd. (NYSE: CEO) are “among Chinese companies that have bought almost $30 billion of Canadian assets in the past five years.” This is not only to meet rising energy demands in the world’s fastest-growing major economy, but also to gain access to shale drilling methods. “China has coal bed methane and shale gas resources domestically, so there has been some anticipation in the market that they would want to get ]]></description>

Wrong again. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Argentina ranks third in recoverable shale gas reserves. Argentina has 774 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of technically recoverable shale gas resources, with more than half of that in the Neuquén Basin on the western side of the country. (Courtesy: EIA, Advanced Resources International, Inc.) Political Intervention Following the economic crisis it weathered in the early 2000s, Argentina imposed strict regulations and price controls on its oil and gas production. Since Argentina’s currency devalued incredibly in a short period of time, Argentinians couldn’t afford exported oil and gas. Thus the government put strict price ]]></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>
