A Shocking Energy Prediction and What to Do About It Right Now

COMMODITIES CORNER


By Frank Curzio, editor, Small Stock Specialist

"Within 20 years, we will no longer need to import oil from overseas."   Last month, I spoke with Dr. Kent Moors on my radio podcast. We talked about an idea I've been following for years. New technologies – like fracking and horizontal drilling – have allowed the U.S. to tap into incredible oil and gas reserves.


My research team and I have gotten a close look at these technologies over the last 12 months in the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, and the Bakken Shale. This has led to a huge oil boom in America. In 2011, the U.S. was producing 5.5 million barrels of oil per day. Today, it's producing 7.5 million barrels per day. That's a 36% increase in oil production in just two years. And it's the most oil America has produced in 25 years.  

Despite this massive boom, the U.S. isn't even close to producing enough oil to meet current demand. But Dr. Moors argues we will be soon. And even if he's half right, a few key players are going to reap enormous rewards.

Americans consume about 18.5 million barrels of oil per day. To reach energy independence, we'd have to increase production by 11 million barrels of oil per day. That's why Dr. Moors' prediction – that in 20 years, the U.S. will no longer need to import oil from overseas – was so shocking. 

Dr. Moors is one of the smartest oil analysts in the field. He's a consultant to the world's largest energy companies. And he's basing his call on the latest planning document from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). OPEC is an oil cartel made up of mostly Middle East countries, and its purpose is to coordinate oil policy. The document projects that not a single member of OPEC will be exporting oil to America a few decades from now.  

In other words, the largest oil-producing nations believe America will be energy independent in the not-so-distant future. For the U.S. to become energy independent, it would likely have to open up more shale areas in New York, California, and Florida. It would also have to drill for oil in the Three Forks (under the Bakken shale), the Cline (in the Permian Basin), and the Utica (located under the Marcellus shale).   Dr. Moors also suggests that the U.S. will import about 30% of its oil from Canada.

That means the U.S. will need to produce about 13 million barrels of oil per day to meet current demand – 5.5 million barrels more than current production levels. I'm not sure we'll get there in 20 years. But if the U.S. opens up more shale areas and starts importing fewer barrels of oil from overseas, many companies will be huge beneficiaries. I suggest buying some of the largest shale oil producers, like Continental Resources (CLR) and Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD).

These companies drill in the Bakken, Permian Basin, and Eagle Ford – and their oil production numbers are already skyrocketing.   Oil-service firms – like Schlumberger (SLB), Baker Hughes (BHI), Weatherford (WFT), and Halliburton (HAL) – will also be winners. These companies sell drilling equipment and services to energy giants like ExxonMobil and Chevron.  

My favorite pick is Halliburton – which I believe will be bought by General Electric over the next 12 months.   As America pushes to become energy independent, these companies will likely put money in investors' pockets.

The Most Important Chart for Oil Investors to See

By Matt Badiali, editor, S&A Junior Resource Trader

Each new number out of the oil sector is bigger than the last. As longtime readers know, we're in the middle of an energy revolution. The technology is advancing so quickly, it's like moving from the Model T to the Ferrari in just a few years... and it's helping the U.S. tap incredible reserves of oil and natural gas.


The latest forecasts are out and they're shocking. If you own energy stocks, you have to see this chart.  According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), domestic crude oil production will hit 7.8 million barrels per day by 2014. That's the highest production since 1988. It represents an astonishing 56% increase from the recent low of 5 million barrels per day in 2008. This chart below shows exactly what I'm talking about.

To put that in perspective, the increase alone will be enough to supply all of Russia's oil demand. It's nearly enough oil to supply the entire continent of Africa. In fact, it's more than enough oil to supply any country in the world except the U.S., China, India, and Japan.  

What does this mean for investors?  Get cautious. As domestic production increases, the U.S. requires fewer imports. (Oil imports are already at their lowest point since 1998 and falling.) That removes a huge chunk of demand from the global market. Prices will drop dramatically. The EIA is forecasting an 8% decline in the global oil price and a 15% decline in 2014. 

If you own high-cost producers – companies that have to spend a lot of money to pump a barrel of oil – you should cut them loose. Take Suncor (NYSE: SU), for example. Suncor is the "poster child" of Canada's oil sands. These energy deposits are tough to mine.

According to Bloomberg, it cost Suncor $139.94 to produce one barrel of oil in 2011 (the most recent data available). Compare that to ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) – the world's best oil company – which spent just $9.44 a barrel on average. When you have to spend a lot of money to produce oil, you make a lot less selling it. Suncor's profit margin was just 7.3% in 2012, even with high domestic oil prices.

This company could begin to lose money if oil prices fall even slightly. Many other oil producers are in the same situation. If you own any high-cost producers, take some money off the table and protect yourself. The oil production numbers we're seeing today are extraordinary... and they're just going to get bigger.

Bank Guarantee Funding Program:

BGF Procedures and details:

#1 Program – 100% No Fraud Guarantee!
Meet Principal & Banker
We are so confident about the authenticity, genuineness of this program and its successful results that EVERY CLIENT that enrolls after completing contracts and paying their deposit is flown to Hong Kong FREE and has their meals and accommodation ALL PAID for by the BG Principal.
We blow all the fakes and phonies away by doing what almost no other service provider is prepared to do!
In Hong Kong the BG Principal will meet you face to face and take you to his Bank, where you will meet the Banker who will coordinate the issuing of the BG, its delivery to the Funder and the Funders payment completion.
You will see all aspects of the transactions completion first hand, direct with the people that do it, right in the engine room of the bank itself. We recommend you stay in Hong Kong (at the BG Principals cost) until the entire transaction is completed. This normally takes between 5 and 10 days.
I challenge you to show me any other Managed BG Program that offers you face time with the Principal and Banker at their cost as part of the deal settlement! I do not think any other similar program exists…..

Program operated with Bank Guarantees from - Top 25 World Bank

Deposit Protection

All Client Deposits ($350K / $500K) are wired directly to an Attorney Trust Account which is administered by an International Attorney with Bar License and over 25 years’ experience as a Barrister, Solicitor and Notary who has been successfully Practicing Law with NO criminal history, NO criminal record, NO convictions and is the Legal Counsel for several Congressmen.
ALL Clients who wish to participate in this program MUST make either a $350K or $500K Deposit. No Deposit, No Program Participation!
The Deposit is required for 4 Reasons:
1/ The Top 25 World Bank will NOT issue a Bank Guarantee unless they have an assurance that when they complete delivery of the BG to the funder that they will be promptly paid.
2/ ALMOST ALL banks now require Clients to make a good faith payment at the start of a BG transaction. Too many Banks have been burned with failed BG transactions by clients who have refused to show any capacity to be able to:
a) Either make a good faith payment, or
b) Settle a legitimate BG transaction.
The high rate of failed BG transactions from clients who have not invested any money in the settlement of their own BG transactions has lead most Banks and BG Issuers to now require good faith payments BEFORE a BG is Issued by a bank.
3/ If clients could get $150 Million Dollar Bank Guarantees issued without contributing a single dollar, every homeless person on the planet would be doing it! There has to be a common sense barrier to prohibit that sort of foolishness and misuse.
4/ There has been a high level of fraud with Proof of Funds, Bank Statements and Cancelled ICBPO’s. Our view is…. If a client cannot transfer $350K or $500K to an Attorney Trust Account when they “claim” to have funds to buy a $150 Million Dollar Bank Guarantee, then they probably aren’t real in the first place and we shouldn’t be doing business with them.


***I do business only with clients who believes me 100%.....
