Range Resources: An Investment in American Energy Independence

By James Fantaci - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: CLNE, EOG, RRC, WPRT

The advent of the shale gas revolution is the culmination of advances in the methodology used to detect abundant reserves of Natural Gas and technological leaps in the means to extract it, principally through Horizontal Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing. When it comes to investing in exploration and production companies, especially those that focus on Natural Gas, investors should pay attention to the cost and yield per well, as well as more »
Invest In Nat Gas Or Nat Gas Stocks?

By Mike Thiessen - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: COG, RRC, UNG

The price of natural gas has started to rebound since mid-February of 2013. Investors can purchase the United States Natural Gas (NYSEMKT: UNG) ETF as an easy way to trade on the price of natural gas. The sustainability of a recovery in natural gas remains very uncertain. Prices have remained low since late 2009, due to excess supply not a decline in volume demand. Shale fracking resulted in increased supply more »
As Natural Gas Inventories Plunge, Investors Should Buy Exploration Stocks

By Mark Holder - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, RRC, SWN, WPX

With natural gas and coal stocks trading at 52-week lows, the market continues to ignore the very bullish natural gas weekly inventory reports. In fact, the reports are now mostly glazed over in the financial media.

For those that missed the report this week, the weekly inventories rose by 31 Bcf. While less than the 33 Bcf expected gain, the gain is actually significant as the inventory level over the more »
3 Low Cost Natural Gas Producers Poised to Benefit From Higher Gas Prices

By Robert Zimmerman - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: EQT, EQM, RRC, UPL

Natural gas prices slowly increased this year, driven by a colder winter and other consumer demands. This reverses the 2012 trend of declining prices. Not surprisingly, drilling activity declined with natural gas prices and then increased as prices rose. With natural gas prices coming off historic lows, which gas producers will benefit first? My bet, the ones paying the lowest production costs. Let’s look at three examples.

Be Cautious on the Fracking Boom

By Bob Chandler - March 8, 2013 | Tickers: CLR, EOG, RRC

The oil & gas industry has a tendency to go into mini-booms. Often things look very promising and money enthusiastically flows into the space. Unfortunately, in many cases, things don't quite meet expectations and investors suffer. The latest mini-boom in the industry seems to center around "fracking." This extraction technique has certainly increased the accessible amount of U.S. oil and gas, but one might be wary in assuming that more »

Will Someone Please Clean Up These Dirty Balance Sheets?

By Chris Marasco - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: APC, CHK, RRC, UNG, USO

Despite record-setting low interest rates and banks that are flush with capital, energy firms badly need financed.

High spending, enormous risk appetite, and “perceived corporate governance lapses” have pushed investors to tone down risk-taking at these companies. Let’s use Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK) as an example.

Chesapeake’s talent for producing natural gas – it is the second largest producer in the U.S. – led the firm to seek debt. That more »

By Brendan Marasco - January 16, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, XOM, RRC, SWN, UPL |

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, prices fell from a peak of $3.90 per million BTUs in November to only $3.11 BTUs last Wednesday. However more »
