One-Two Punch Makes U.S. Oil Stocks Attractive

EOG, PTRC, DVN, XOM

PR Newswire

ATLANTA, December 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

OTCStockReview published an article on SeekingAlpha.com that included industry commentary based on the recent OPEC developments taking place in the Energy Sector that included companies such as: Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM), EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG), Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN), Petro River Oil Corp. (OTC: PTRC) and Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ: AXAS)

Two recent developments in the oil industry have positioned U.S. oil and gas companies for a potential business boom.

One, OPEC and non-OPEC countries have agreed to reduce production by nearly 2 million/bbl per day, raising WTI crude this week to nearly $53/bbl. And two, key appointments in the upcoming Trump Administration - Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State and outspoken global warming critic Scott Pruitt as head of the Environmental Protection Agency - indicate looser regulations that will open up U.S. producers in both conventional and unconventional plays to break out of the malaise low oil prices have brought upon both major and independent producers.

Shale players like EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) and Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) are bullish at $55 oil, as unconventional producers have spent the majority of the past few years reducing costs and innovating with technology in order to be profitable at lower oil prices (historically Shale was profitable at $80 plus oil prices).

Microcap companies like Petro River Oil (OTC: PTRC) - a conventional player with assets in Osage County, OK, Kern County, CA, and in the UK - and Abraxas (NASDAQ: AXAS), with assets in the Permian Basin, Powder River Basin, Rocky Mountains and Texas will likely also benefit from higher oil and looser regulations as conventional production breaks even in the $30-$40 oil range.

With the DOW nearing 20,000 and at a record high, the market shows no indication of slowing down before President-elect Trump takes office in January. Investors are no doubt looking to take advantage of rising stock prices, and oil and gas could be just what the broker ordered.

Petro River Oil Corp. (OTC: PTRC) http://petroriveroil.com/ is an independent energy company with its core holdings in Northeast Oklahoma, the Larne Basin in Northern Ireland, and Mountain View, California. Petro River's strategy is to apply modern technology, such as 3D seismic analysis to exploit hydrocarbon-prone resources in historically prolific plays and underexplored prospective basins to build reserves and to create value for the Company and its shareholders.   Read more news for Petro River Oil (PTRC) at:  http://marketnewsupdates.com/news/ptrc.html
