		<description><![CDATA[Invest in the shortage that currently exists – LNG tankers – which will only be exasperated if the United States starts exporting. There’s a great, strange story by F. Scott Fitzgerald called, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz. In it, the Washington family has discovered a mountain that’s made entirely of diamond in an uncharted part of Montana. It’s just one giant, mountain-sized chunk. The tale deals with greed and the basics of the law of supply. But the Washingtons can’t let anyone know their diamond mountain exists… If people found out, it’d collapse the diamond market, making the precious stone worthless. And the Washingtons themselves would be cast into poverty. So, it’s this strange dual existence for the Washingtons. They’re the wealthiest family in the world, but only ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB) disclosed plans to transform itself into a high-dividend, high-growth energy firm at its recent Analyst Day. The company also guided 2012–2013 adjusted earnings per share and cash flow from continuing operations, taking into account the upcoming Exploration &#38; Production spin-off and the related exclusion of those results from Williams’ continuing operations. In February 2011, Williams announced plans to separate its exploration and production business from its pipeline/infrastructure operations, thereby creating two independent companies. The spin-off, subject to certain precedent conditions, will see the sale of up to 20% of Williams’ stake in the exploration and production business through an initial public offering. The rest of the upstream business will be spun off to Williams’ shareholders next year. Williams expects to generate earnings per share in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, U.S. markets inched up to close in the green with the S&#38;P 500 recording its highest rally since July 2011. Hopes of EU overcoming its sovereign debt crisis gathered strength after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said US would join other EU leaders to seek out a solution to the euro zone debt situation. Markets further rose on news that United Technologies Corporation is looking to finance a major U.S. acquisition. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.7% or 75.91 points and finished the day at 11,509.09 marking its longest winning streak since 1st July. For the week, the blue chip index rose 4.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.6% and settled at 1,216.01 with telecom and utilities emerging as the biggest gainers while ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Williams Partners L.P. (WPZ) has registered second-quarter 2011 earnings of 91 cents per limited-partner unit, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents. The quarter’s results also improved almost 38% from the year-ago profit of 66 cents per unit. Higher natural gas liquid (NGL) margins in its midstream business and higher fee-based revenue led to the significant year-over-year improvement. Total revenue increased 19% year over year to $1,671 million, but failed to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,726 million. Notably, Williams Partners&#8217; distributable cash flow (DCF) attributable to partnership operations witnessed a substantial improvement to $397 million in the second quarter from $316 million recorded in the year-ago quarter. Superior results in the midstream business as well as the growth of the partnership through asset acquisitions in the ]]></description>

The Nasdaq closed in the red after tech shares dragged the index lower following Dell’s revised sales forecast. However, a few positive earnings results from retail stocks and a couple of economic reports helped the markets ward of another slide in the middle day of the week.The Dow ended with a small gain of 4.28 points to close at 11,410.21, gaining 4.28%. During the day, the blue chip index managed to touch an intraday high of 124 points and an intraday low of 84 points.

		<description><![CDATA[Positive economic reports on the U.S. front and lingering optimism from Thursday&#8217;s Greek deal are expected to help stocks push higher today. Approval from the Greek parliament next week for the new austerity plan will pave the way for a fresh multi-year rescue fund for the country. On the domestic economic front, we got a better-than-expected Durable Goods report for May and the first quarter GDP growth estimate was modestly revised higher. The positive Durable Goods report is evidence that the manufacturing sector is still quite healthy. The internals of the report were also quite good, showing a reversal of the negative trend that we saw in the April report. Other than the reassuring report on the manufacturing side, a positive recent development has been the downtrend in oil prices. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Williams Companies (WMB) has offered to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Southern Union Company (SUG) for a total cash value of $4.86 billion, topping the bid of $4.2 billion that was placed by Energy Transfer Equity L.P. (ETE). The total enterprise value of the deal is estimated at $8.7 billion, which includes a debt assumption of $3.7 billion. In its bid, Williams proposed to pay $39 per share to Southern Union Company. This represents a premium of 18% over Energy Transfer’s purchase price of $33 per share. Barclays Capital (BCS) and Citigroup (C) –– acting as financial consultants for Williams –– showed immense confidence in the transaction and commented that the company is financially stable to make this all cash acquisition. Williams plans to utilize Southern Union’s network ]]></description>

The credit facilities of both EP and EPEP are set to expire in 2012. El Paso Corp. amended and restated its revolving credit facility extending the maturity date to 2016 and reducing the available commitments to $1.25 billion from $1.5 billion. Moreover, EP’s facility credit terms now provide more flexibility on collateral support and El Paso Corporation&#8217;s general partnership interest in EPB as collateral. It also provides for an elimination of collateral support upon the loans achieving investment grade status. The EP facility was financed through a syndication of 23 financial institutions.

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil The improving economic scene –- both here in the U.S. as well as worldwide –- and the continued unrest in producing countries had been the main driver of the oil rally that saw the commodity zoom past the $110 per barrel level last month. However, apprehensions about soaring U.S. crude stocks – currently at their highest level in two years –- and worries that China’s tightening monetary policy in response to inflationary pressures may bring down its growth momentum, have been weighing on investor sentiment, weakening oil prices to less than $100 a barrel. But far too many factors weigh on oil prices – from OPEC decisions and geostrategic tensions to the value of the U.S. dollar and seasonal variables – to definitively size up each one ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our Neutral recommendation on El Paso Corporation (EP) given the company’s high-grade Exploration &#38; Production assets and large inventory of pipeline projects, which offer significant value in the long run. However, the delays and cost overruns at the Ruby pipeline project have hindered the company’s near-term outlook. Houston, Texas-based El Paso Corp. is a major player in both the natural gas transmission (Pipelines business) and exploration &#38; production (E&#38;P) space in the U.S. The company competes primarily with Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) and Williams Companies Inc. (WMB). El Paso is the largest pipeline operator in the United States, owning interest in some of the largest and most active pipelines of the country. These assets are located in close proximity to major markets as well as regions where exploration ]]></description>

On a sectoral basis, share prices of energy companies rose for the second consecutive day amid fresh tensions surrounding the Suez and protests in another oil rich country Bahrain. On Wednesday, the Philadelphia oil services index along with some other key indexes showed prices of crude were rising. Shares of Marathon Oil Corp (NYSE:MRO), Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) gained 1.56%, 2.50%, and 1.66% to close at $50.08, $45.17, and $75.52 respectively. Tulsa-based Williams’ (NYSE:WMB) share prices increased 8.36% after the company announced plans to separate its exploration and production unit from its energy infrastructure unit.

		<description><![CDATA[Natural gas producer, Williams Companies Inc. (WMB), acquired approximately 42,000 net acres in the Marcellus Shale from Alta Resources, LLC and its partners for $501 million. The net 42,000 Marcellus acres, mainly located in Susquehanna County in northeastern Pennsylvania, represents approximately 1.2 trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent (Tcfe) in total net resource potential and gas of 100 to 130 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) per section. The acquisition will nearly double the natural gas producer&#8217;s exploration and production (E&#38;P) holdings in the region. Additionally, the company will buy a 5% interest in the properties (approximately 48,500 gross acres) included in the Alta deal for $84 million to reduce royalty obligations. Williams also plans to lease approximately 8,000 net acres in the area of Pennsylvania. On completion of the deal, ]]></description>

The deal permits Williams Pipeline unit holders to receive 0.7584 common units of Williams Partners for every unit they hold. William Partners already owns 47.7% of Williams Pipeline. On January 19, 2010, Williams Cos (WMB), the parent company of Williams Partners, said it would restructure its pipeline and processing operations in a bid to speed growth, partly by improving access to capital. Williams Cos announced plans to contribute essentially all of its midstream and natural gas pipeline assets valued at approximately $12 billion to Williams Partners L.P. Consequently, the acquisition by Williams Partners is the concluding step in the restructuring of Williams Cos’ natural gas pipeline and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Williams Companies (WMB) with a target price of $23. We like Williams’ strong business mix, attractive growth opportunities in its low-risk upstream model and relatively stable fee-based midstream services. The company’s high growth exploration and production (E&#38;P) business is nicely complemented by its midstream assets, which are less sensitive to commodity prices and help Williams to maintain a steady stream of revenue and cash flow even if natural gas prices stay low. Through its recently concluded $12 billion restructuring program, Williams has combined its pipeline and processing units to create one of the largest natural gas partnerships in the nation. We believe that the consolidation will allow Williams to simplify its structure, pay down debt, drive growth, and unlock value for its shareholders. ]]></description>

According to the deal, Williams will sell pipeline assets in the Northeast, Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain region to affiliate Williams Partners, L.P.

Williams will also contribute its limited and general partner interests in Williams Pipeline Partners L.P.

However, Williams will keep its exploration and production business at the parent company level. In exchange, Williams will receive cash proceeds of about $3.5 billion and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Sheena Martin, Contributing Editor Wednesday, December 23, 2009 Most commodity investors know by now that natural gas prices took a major hit over the past two years. And with production stalled around the world, very few people expect it to rise much more than the $2 per MMbtu it managed to climb this year. But the natural gas industry still holds pockets of wealth, if you just know how to access them. Since prices rose back to $5 per Mmbtu in late September after slumping since January, companies have recommitted to drilling projects and ramping up production. For Atlas Pipeline Partners (NYSE: APL), which services the Midwest and Appalachian regions, that means revenue will soon follow. By gathering, processing and transporting the commodity instead of selling it directly, Atlas ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Williams Companies (WMB) reported better-than-expected third-quarter results, primarily on higher production volumes and lowering of costs. Earnings per share, excluding mark-to-market adjustments, came in at 25 cents, 6 cents above the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, compared to the year-earlier period, Williams’ adjusted earnings per share plunged approximately 55% while revenue nosedived 34% to $2.1 billion, hurt by weak performance of the company’s Exploration and Production (E&#38;P) business on the back of a sharp decline in natural gas prices from the year-ago level. E&#38;P In the E&#38;P business, total production was up approximately 4.9% year-over-year to 1,202 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfe/d). Domestic volumes increased 4.7% year-over-year to 1,148 MMcfe/d, driven by strong contribution from the Piceance and other basins. For the third quarter of 2009, average daily net ]]></description>
