		<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. (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.

However, this is largely seen as a one-off shot, with mild April temperatures across the country restricting the commodity’s requirement for power burn. 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[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[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 oil-directed rigs, partially offset by cutbacks in natural gas and miscellaneous rig counts. 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[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[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.

In fact, gas stocks – currently 33% 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 surprise dip in natural gas supplies on account of unseasonably cold weather in the Southeast. However, gas stocks still remain at elevated levels – 7.3% above the 5-year average and 1.1% higher than the same period last year – reflecting low demand amid robust production. 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 affects businesses of natural gas-weighted companies and related support plays like Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC), Chesapeake Energy (CHK), EnCana Corp. (ECA), Devon Energy Corp. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contract drilling services provider Helmerich &#38; Payne Inc. (HP) reported robust third quarter fiscal 2011 results on July 29 with both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Second Quarter Recap The quarter’s earnings of $1.00 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 98 cents, attributable to strong contributions from most of its business units. The company generated revenue of $644.1 million, surpassing our projection by 1.6% On a segmental basis, U.S. Land Operations and Offshore Operations registered year-over-year revenue growth of 47.0% and 2.8%, respectively. However, revenue from International Land Operations plunged 23.1% during the quarter. Agreement of Analysts Looking at the estimates’ revision trends, it becomes clear that a majority of the analysts project a pessimistic outlook for Helmerich &#38; Payne’s fourth quarter ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling giant Transocean Ltd. (RIG) reported bleak second quarter 2011 results, hurt by the decline in utilization rates, lower backlog and higher operating costs. Earnings per share, excluding expenses associated with the Macondo well incident, tax charges and loss related to impairment of three standard jackups, came in at 65 cents. The figure fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 77 cents and trailed the year-ago adjusted profit of $1.66. Total quarterly revenues of $2,334 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.7% and were down 5.8% year over year, mainly due to the reduction in contract drilling sales (due to lower utilization and lower average daily revenue), partially offset by contributions from additional drilling management services activity. Transocean’s high-spec floaters contributed approximately 61% to total revenue, while ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) reported a marginal rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country). This can be primarily attributed to an increase in the tally of land 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) and Helmerich &#38; Payne (HP) in gauging the overall business environment of the oil and gas industry. Weekly Summary Rigs engaged in exploration and production in the U.S. totaled 1,887 for the week ended July 8, 2011. This is up by 1 from the previous week’s rig count and represents the ]]></description>
