The Play Is Natural Gas $UNG $UNL

October 24, 2012 – Comments (0) | RELATED TICKERS: UNG , UNL

Natural gas has been in a major glut due to localization issues and a surplus of supply due to hydraulic fracturing being used in horizontal wells, specifically shales such as the Marcellus Shale and the Haynesville Shale. This surplus finally lead to an initial bottom for natural gas in April of this year when we covered T. Boone Pickens calling a bottom. This lead to a 50%+ move since then giving many of our followers substantial gains over the last six months. Is the rally coming to an end? We don’t believe so, read on and weigh in on it yourself.   [more]

The natural gas glut has pinned even the well positioned majors into a corner like Encana $ECA or Chesapeake Energy $CHK when they were over leveraged when prices tanked. While we have enjoyed a 50% gain on our natural gas plays this year it has not been enough to support continued drilling programs and cash flows for many.   [more]

Bakken Shale Stocks Likely To Catch Buyout Frenzy $AXAS $CRED $HK $MHR $WLL

A great way to play exploration & production plays is to focus on stocks with core assets in plays such as the Bakken Shale or the Eagle Ford Shale that have a high chance of getting acquired or bought out by a larger competitor. 

Earlier this year, Forestar Group made an offer to purchase Credo Petroleum (CRED) for $146 million in cash, which at the time was a 33% premium. Credo has very good Bakken acreage but it is basically a play on its Kansas and Nebraska vertical plays. It has 80,000 net acres of shallow, low-cost wells with IRR better than its Bakken acreage. It also has 15,500 net acres targeting the Mississippian.  [more]
