Oil and Gas Investor 'Excellence Awards' Presented to Seven Leading Energy Firms

Wed, 23 May 2012 11:57:00 +0000

Oil and Gas Investor 'Excellence Awards' Presented to Seven Leading Energy Firms

PR Newswire

HOUSTON, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Oil and Gas Investor magazine will recognize the winners of its 9th annual "Excellence Awards" on June 7, 2012, in Houston. These prestigious awards, which are nominated by the magazine's readers, will be presented at Hart Energy's 5thannual Energy Capital Conference.

"The Excellence Awards recognize outstanding accomplishments in industry leadership, E&P success, and financial innovation," Oil and Gas Investor Editor-in-Chief Leslie Haines said. "As supporters of the industry, we are delighted to honor these individuals and companies for their extraordinary efforts."

The 2011 honorees are:

Executive of the Year: Tom L. Ward, chairman and CEO, SandRidge Energy Inc. (Oklahoma City). Under Ward's leadership, the company has grown significantly while leading the Mississippi Lime play in Oklahoma, one of the highest-return oil and liquids plays in the U.S. In addition, the company has IPO'd three royalty trusts and created two JVs with international companies to fund more drilling.
Best Discovery: Chesapeake Energy Corp., (Oklahoma City) for opening the Utica shale play in Ohio. In July 2011, Chesapeake unveiled its significant Utica presence. Good well results and a joint venture with Total followed. Majors and large independents have also entered the play, which compares favorably to the Eagle Ford shale. Nearly 70 horizontal wells have been drilled so far in this growing oil and gas play.
M&A Deal of the Year: Petrohawk Energy Corp. (Houston) for its sale to BHP Billiton Petroleum Ltd. for $15 billion, capping a seven-year run of savvy acquisitions, drilling, and portfolio management focused on emerging shale plays such as the Haynesville and Eagle Ford.
Best Field Rejuvenation: Energy XXI (Houston) for its work in nine fields in the shallow-water Gulf of Mexico. It acquired these assets for $1 billion from ExxonMobil in late 2010. Throughout 2011, via workovers and new drilling, it steadily increased production and has uncovered many more prospects to drill. This has vaulted Energy XXI to third place among the top oil producers on the Gulf of Mexico shelf, with interests in seven of the top 11 oil fields.
Corporate Citizen of the Year: Apache Corp. (Houston) for its many community and sustainability programs, including the Apache Foundation's Trees campaign. Since 2005, the company has donated more than 2 million trees to 218 nonprofit and community groups in 14 states. Its goal is to give away 3 million. Most recently, Apache joined with the Memorial Park Conservancy in Houston to fast-forward a 2010 plan to plant thousands of trees in the city's largest park.
Turnaround of the Year: Saratoga Resources Inc. (Houston). After emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010, (paying 100 cents on the dollar owed) Saratoga, under Chairman and CEO Thomas Cooke, has regained momentum. Its stock has risen to nearly $7 from about $2, increasing the market cap tenfold since emerging from bankruptcy. Its 2011 reserve replacement was 200 percent. Production reached a new high of 4,000 BOE per day, all in Louisiana state waters. Shareholders' equity rose to $42 million at year-end 2011, up from a deficit of $4.1 million at Dec. 31, 2010. Also last year, the company raised $35 million of equity in common stock and warrants, and $127.5 million in senior secured notes.
Financing of the Year: Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. (Denver). The company issued common stock and senior notes during 2011, enabling Kodiak to make a nearly $1-billion acquisition in the Bakken shale, doubling the size of the company, creating double-digit production growth, and positioning it for further growth.

In 2011, Oil and Gas Investor magazine celebrated 30 years of setting the standard for energy journalism. Hart Energy has been a leader covering energy news and technology for investors and executives. The Houston-based company produces magazines (Oil and Gas Investor, E&P, Midstream Business, and FUEL), online information services (A-Dcenter.com, OilandGasInvestor.com, and UGcenter.com), and industry newsletters, and provides upstream energy research and downstream consulting services. Hart Energy boasts exceptional strength in unconventional resources, e.g., its Developing Unconventionals (DUG™) conference series, its Global Shale Gas and Global Shale Oil studies, and more.

NEW YORK, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

The 20 Leading Companies in Shale Gas 2012: Competitive Landscape Analysis

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0801505/The-20-Leading-Companies-in-Shale-Gas-2012-Competitive-Landscape-Analysis.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy

Report Details

Over the last five years, shale gas has become a major new source of natural gas supply to theUS market, the largest gas market in the world. Over this time, both gas production and capital investment into shale development have grown considerably, bring this market once dominated by small private companies into the global spotlight.

Currently the North American gas market is seeing a period of substantial oversupply as booming production coupled with unmatched demand leave a glut of gas on the market. As constraints in the natural gas market become increasingly restrictive, competitive positioning becomes ever more vital for further business development.

This report examines the positioning of the major players in the market by creating a market share analysis of the 20 largest companies by capital expenditure on shale gas in 2011. The leading companies are compared by market share, shale plays, shale gas acreage, proportion of their business focused on shale gas, and the expected change in expenditure from 2011 to 2012. A forecast for 2012 expenditure on shale gas development is also made, introducing new players to the top spending group as the better positioned companies show their advantages. A SWOT analysis of each of the companies is also included, providing a short to mid term outlook for each of the leading 20 companies.

The major producing shale plays are also analysed in terms of break even cost, initial production rates and liquids showing. This analysis is then used to calculate the prospects of each company depending on where they operate and the extent of their acreage.

This information is provided at a critical time in the brief history of shale gas as record low natural gas prices in North America put pressure on the economical development of resources. The report provides an unbiased and clear indication of which companies are in the most advantageous position going forward.

We Offer Investor Friendly Environment - Ukrainian President

We Offer Investor Friendly Environment - Ukrainian President

PR Newswire

KYIV, Ukraine, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych regards interest of such major international companies as Chevron and Exxon Mobil as an indication for effective cooperation between investors and the state. Speaking to journalists at the 2012 NATO Summit in Chicago, Ukrainian leader reckoned that Ukraine provided favorable conditions for capital investments.

Ukraine exempted companies which produce shale gas in the country from import tax on equipment and export duty, stated earlier Roman Storozhev, president of the Gas Traders of Ukraine Association. Moreover, in case several deposits are discovered in one field they are taxed as one tax object, according to Storozhev.

During the Chicago summit President Yanukovych also expressed hope that cooperation with Chevron would contribute to the development of gas fields in Ukraine. As a result, this would help Ukraine diversify energy sources. The statement followed the meeting of the Ukrainian leader with Vice President of the American company Ian MacDonald on May 21^st.

While in Chicago, Ukrainian leader also met with Exxon Mobil executive Stephen Greenlee. During the meeting the parties signed memorandum regulating cooperation between the Ukrainian Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and Exxon Mobil Exploration.

Ukrainian oil and gas sector attracts a string of international companies. According to NJSC Naftogaz, in 2011 Ukraine started cooperation with ExxonMobil, Chevron, Halliburton, Total, RWE, Eni, and StatOil regarding development of unconventional hydrocarbons.

Recently, Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell plc obtained the right to develop Ukrainian shale gas fields. The estimated investment in the fields will amount to at least USD 370 million. The number would grow significantly should the gas reserves prove to be commercially viable.

In May of 2012 British company Cadogan Petroleum declared its plans to invest up to one billion dollars in the development of Ukrainian hydrocarbons. Besides the estimated reserves, company executive listed the developed infrastructure on border with Western Europe as a contributing factor for their decision.

Additionally, in September of 2011 Ukraine signed a deal on development of unconventional hydrocarbons with Exxon Mobil Corporation and an agreement that regulates the involvement of the Royal Dutch Shell plc in shale gas extraction and diversification of energy resources mining in Ukraine. Shell plans to invest up to USD 800 million into the project.

TAP Management Austin TX Reviews Oil Consumption Patterns

TAP Management Austin TX Reviews Oil Consumption Patterns

PR Newswire

AUSTIN, Texas, May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TAP Management Austin TX reviews oil and gas consumption patterns and how they affect our global economy. Despite the recent focus on alternative fuel exploration, oil continues to play an essential role in our transportation infrastructure. In fact, ExxonMobil's most recent edition of Outlook for Energy predicts that by the year 2040, 90 percent of the global transportation methods will still be powered by petroleum fuels.

Gasoline, diesel and jet fuel provide a level of affordability, versatility and convenience that is unmatched by alternative energy resources. The dense amount of energy provided by these fuels, especially when compared to the concentration of other developed energy resources, is the primary reason for our continued reliance on petroleum.

During the last decade, the price of oil has fluctuated drastically, typically in a cyclical pattern that mirrored the global economic climate. Oil prices have risen sharply this year due to an increase in global demand, and a disruption of supply from the Middle East. This hostile political climate and our dependence on foreign oil have adversely affected the price of gas for American consumers.

In an effort to combat these external factors, the domestic production of oil and gas has experienced an exponential increase in recent years. A New York Times article published on March 22, 2012, titled "U.S. Inches Toward Goal of Energy Independence" stated that in 2011, the United States imported 45 percent of the liquid fuels we used. This figure is down from a record high of 60 percent in 2005.

Although the United States has sought independence from foreign energy sources for decades, the federal government has been under intense pressure to reduce the spiraling gas prices. As a result, the Obama administration has recently announced new procedures to speed-up processes for onshore drilling permits, and opened new federal lands and waters for drilling.

About TAP Management:

TAP Management has contributed to the increase of oil and gas production in the South Texas, Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions. Since its founding in 2005, TAP Management Austin TX reviews oil and gas prospects in fields that meet the criteria of the company. By utilizing 3D seismic technology, forced pooling methods and purchasing existing productions, TAP Management has developed a successful portfolio of producing assets throughout these regions. We are dedicated to decreasing our nation's dependence on foreign oil and gas, and improving the quality of life for Americans.

Apache's North Sea Beryl Field Well Flows 11,625 Barrels, 13 MMcf Of Gas Per Day; Rate Is Highest For U.K. Beryl Field Since 2001

Wed, 16 May 2012 12:45:00 +0000

Apache's North Sea Beryl Field Well Flows 11,625 Barrels, 13 MMcf Of Gas Per Day; Rate Is Highest For U.K. Beryl Field Since 2001

PR Newswire

HOUSTON, May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) today announced that an extension well had initial production rates higher than any oil well drilled at the Beryl Field in the U.K. North Sea since 2001.

"We're very excited about this well because we've found virgin reservoir pressure in two of three zones containing more than 300 feet of net true vertical pay," said Jim House, regional vice president and managing director of Apache North Sea. "This is one of the best wells drilled in the past 10 years in the Beryl Field and we expect it to open up further development opportunities."

The B72 was drilled as a deviated well from the Beryl Bravo Platform and logged a total of 619 feet measured depth (305 feet TVD) of net oil pay in three separate Jurassic aged reservoir units. The well was completed in the high quality Beryl-I reservoir, which was found at original pressure of 5220 psi and commenced production at a rate of 11,625 barrels of oil per day (b/d) and 13.1 million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas per day.

Finding the Beryl-1 reservoir in a fault block at original field pressures within the Beryl field is an encouraging result that highlights the complexity and remaining potential of the field. A new 3D seismic survey is planned for summer 2012, the first since 1997.

Apache completed the acquisition of Mobil North Sea Limited from ExxonMobil at year-end 2011, which includes operating interests in Beryl, Nevis, Ness, Nevis South, Skene and Buckland fields.

Apache owns 50 percent of Beryl Field and is the operator. Other field owners are Hess Ltd. (22.22 percent), Enterprise Oil Ltd. (22.78 percent), and OMV (U.K.) Ltd. (5 percent).

Statoil secures rig for drilling offshore Newfoundland

PR Newswire

CALGARY, May 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Statoil has reached an agreement to use Seadrill's West Aquarius deepwater drilling rig for Statoil's 2012-2013 exploration activities offshore Newfoundland, Canada.

"We have ambitious exploration targets offshore Newfoundland, and securing rig capacity is essential for reaching those targets," says Geir Richardsen, head of Exploration for Statoil in Canada. "We look forward to putting this rig's capabilities into action."

Starting late 2012, Statoil will begin a three-well drilling program, offshore Newfoundland, including two exploration wells in the Flemish Pass Basin as well as an exploration well in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin. "I am pleased that the company has acquired future rig capacity as exploration activity is a key component of Statoil's ambitions to become a producing operator offshore Newfoundland," says Kjell Magnus Myge, head of Procurement for Statoil in Canada.

The West Aquarius drilling rig is a sixth generation semi-submersible DP3 vessel built in South Korea in 2009. The vessel can operate in harsh environments up to 3,000 m water depth. The rig has been taken on as an assignment from ExxonMobil Deepwater Rig Limited.

Statoil is an international energy company with high ambitions for international growth, and with business operations in 37 countries around the world. Statoil's North American activities are managed out of two main offices located in Houston, Texas, USA and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Statoil also has offices in Anchorage, Alaska, Austin, Texas, Stamford, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Williston, North Dakota, USA and St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.

New Research by ExxonMobil Foundation and Cherie Blair Foundation for Women Reveals How Mobile Phones Can Help Women Entrepreneurs Develop Their Businesses

Thu, 10 May 2012 07:10:00 +0000

Study demonstrates important role mobile phone technology can play in assisting women-owned businesses
Research is part of a larger initiative, including pilot projects in Egypt, Indonesia and Nigeria, supported by a $1.5 million grant from the ExxonMobil Foundation
Over the last seven years, ExxonMobil has contributed $53 million to spur economic opportunities for women globally

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The ExxonMobil Foundation and Cherie Blair Foundation for Women today released new research demonstrating how mobile phones can help women entrepreneurs develop and grow their businesses. The analysis across three emerging countries – Egypt, Nigeria and Indonesia – concludes there are a number of mobile technology-based solutions which, if tailored and scaled commercially, could support the business needs of women entrepreneurs.

Based on the research findings, the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women will follow the study with a pilot program to provide women entrepreneurs with tailored mobile phone applications that will help them manage their businesses more effectively.

Research for the Mobile Value Added Services: A Business Growth Opportunity for Women Entrepreneurs report was conducted by the global management consultancy, Booz & Company. The report concluded that the extensive and ever-increasing penetration of mobile phones in developing and emerging markets presents a significant opportunity to women entrepreneurs who want to develop their micro businesses into flourishing small and growing enterprises. Mobile value added services are products offered through a mobile platform, such as text messaging and multimedia message services.

“We already know that when mobile technology is properly incorporated into daily use, it can address an ever-increasing range of needs,” said Cherie Blair, founder of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women. “Yet many of these technologies are not designed with a woman entrepreneur in mind. This groundbreaking research and subsequent pilot program will identify the technology that is most effective for women entrepreneurs and will provide women with new opportunities to maximize the effectiveness and reach of their businesses.”

“In recent years, we have seen mobile phones evolve from a convenience to an essential business tool, enabling entrepreneurs to address pressing business challenges, increase access to new markets and operate more efficiently,” said Suzanne M. McCarron, president of the ExxonMobil Foundation. “Yet all too often, women entrepreneurs around the world lack access to the technology and resources needed to succeed. Expanding the effective uses of mobile technology can help women earn more income and lead to more prosperity for them, their families, their communities and their countries.”

High level findings of the research include:

Micro-enterprises (companies with less than 10 employees) represent 98 percent of entrepreneurial activity in the three countries. There are roughly 32 million women across the three countries.
Women’s businesses in these countries are concentrated in four key sectors: wholesale and retail; light manufacturing; hospitality and social services. These are the sectors in which mobile enabled applications could help women grow their businesses.
Key business challenges include access to information and communication technology; affordable resources; networks and access to marketplaces, have been highlighted as relevant across three countries and sectors.
Over 88 percent of women entrepreneurs were willing to use mobile value added services to address the core challenges they face in their businesses.
More than 82 percent of women entrepreneurs indicated a willingness to pay for these services.
The average monthly expenditure for mobile services among women entrepreneurs surveyed in our research was almost four times greater than the market average.
The high number of women entrepreneurs and the fact that they use mobile phone services extensively highlights an opportunity for the private sector to provide an innovative service which focuses on this segment and helps women entrepreneurs develop their businesses at the same time.
Successful implementation and growth of mobile value added services requires collaboration between different stakeholders in order to ensure appropriate content creation and distribution.
