The oil price continues to gain momentum and is still trading around 40% below the January 2020 level, and now the right stocks are in the spotlight. In addition to the well-known major oil producers such as BP and Shell, there are also successful producers who are not yet so well known, but who certainly have potential. Last night the young Canadian oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas published the results of the past fiscal year. Due to the Corona Pandemic, the company had postponed the release, which is currently nothing special and is officially made possible by an extended deadline.

In addition, the company achieved an operating netback of CAD 51.84 per barrel. In the previous year, this figure was CAD 30.22 per barrel, partly due to the low oil price.

    A billion-dollar problem lies beneath America's soil. Hundreds of thousands of orphaned oil and gas wells need to be remediated, many of which continue to release climate-damaging methane. Washington has allocated USD 4.7 billion for this purpose. One of the companies set to benefit is Zefiro Methane. The company has already secured government contracts worth around USD 40 million, is significantly increasing its revenue and is opening up additional business areas. As remediation of old production sites gathers pace, a German research firm calculates upside potential of more than 200% for the share price.

    Investors looking to benefit from the American energy boom usually focus on oil and gas producers or power plant builders. Yet opportunities can also be found in what previous generations of producers have left behind. Millions of disused oil and gas wells across the US need to be properly plugged. Some release methane, while others stand in the way of new construction projects. For Zefiro Methane, this represents a huge market. The latest company announcements show how the growing need for remediation is increasingly translating into firm contracts. Following its operational turnaround, Zefiro is now entering its next phase of growth. We take a closer look at this intriguing stock in our stock check.

    Shell and BP are due to report their third-quarter results next week, with Shell scheduled for October 29 and BP for the following day. Both groups have already briefed investors on the quarter. But production and refining margins are only half the story. The oil industry also leaves behind legacy liabilities, from methane leaks to orphaned wells. Policymakers are paying closer attention, although on October 22 the European Parliament postponed methane reporting requirements for importers of oil, gas and coal until the end of May 2031. This creates work for specialists tasked with addressing the problem. We take a closer look at Shell, Zefiro Methane and BP.
