This is an oil service company and provides oil drillers a cost effective way to draw the last 25% of oil in a field (which is the most costly draw). Also open an office in China (anticipate growing market for oil).

Core Labs, a Dutch energy service company, helps energy companies get more oil out of existing wells.
With oil prices selling for more than $60, it's no wonder that CLB is one of the few energy or energy service companies with increasing earnings estimates. For '07, 90 days ago analysts were estimating $4.15; currently, they're estimating $4.38. And for '08 analysts were estimating $5.23 90 days ago; now they're estimating $5.31. Nice as it is to buck the overall trend of decreasing earnings estimates for energy and energy-service companies--consider that analysts are estimating long-term growth of 25% per year. These numbers suggest that the stock is likely to be selling well over $100 if energy prices are stable over the next year or so.

This stock is part of the energy group related to oil recovery and will vary with that group. As alternate fuel sources are developed, this company may be negatively effected.

China is spending billions trying to bolster their reserves, not to mention everyone else. Accurate formation information is critical and worth the money, for both primary, secondary and tertiary production. Until we can run our cars on water, these guys have two steps up on any of their competitors.

I am not sure on the timing or catalyst that will send Oil and gas higher and higher. I do feel that it will happen because of limited supply, growing demand and political turmoil in many regions of production.

Still trying to bottom-fish for the good oil service companies, I guess. (Crude oil fell briefly below $55 today, 1/5/07, before closing a bit higher.) It seems to me the service companies have solid fundamental prospects as long as the demand for oil keeps growing, even if the crude price doesn't shoot the moon. I'm aware that the whole energy industry gets sold off -- I think a bit indiscriminately -- when crude drops, but this makes for some good up moves, especially for the service companies, after the nice earnings reports come in.

this is one stock in the oil industry that isn't regulated by the supply and demand model.

Core Laboratories is an infrastructure company servicing the oil industry with necessary skills in assessing wells, production, potential all necessary for maximum production of oil and gas. The need for their talents will only increase over the next two decades as oil and gas become more difficult and expensive to recover.
