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.

    First annual profit in company history

    According to its financial statements, Saturn Oil & Gas increased its oil sales from CAD 4.5 million in 2018 to CAD 18.3 million in 2019, a increase of over 300%. For the first time in the company's history, an annual profit was reported. The Adjusted EBITDAX even reached a level of CAD 12.7 million. Saturn Oil & Gas earned more than CAD 820,000, compared to a loss of CAD 1.5 million in the previous year. The company is obviously on the road to success.

    Reduction of production costs

    Last year, Saturn Oil & Gas increased its average daily production from 233 barrels in 2018 to 766. On average, the company achieved a sales price of CAD 65.47 per barrel in 2019 compared to CAD 48.52 in the same period last year. 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.

    Reserves were expanded

    In 2019, Saturn Oil & Gas drilled 17 successful horizontal wells in the Viking Formation. The costs for the drilling and completion were CAD 17.53 million or an average of CAD 1.03 million per well. Despite the production of crude oil, the total proven and probable reserves (NPV-10) increased from CAD 91.37 million to CAD 111.65 million, representing a value of CAD 0.47 per share. In the stock market, the share price has already recovered to the level of the pre-Covid-19 period and yesterday closed at CAD 0.135 and a market value of CAD 31.67 million. In October 2018 the share was already trading at CAD 0.30.

    Good oil from Canada

    In addition to the positive economic development, the management of Saturn Oil & Gas is also addressing environmental protection issues and placing ESG at the forefront of its activities. Investors who believe that oil will continue to be needed in the coming years for a secure life in a modern society and at the same time want to position themselves in Canada, a country that respects human rights and environmental protection, should take a closer look at the Saturn Oil & Gas share.

    Oil Crisis 5.0 is Pure Fiction: Shell, American Atomics, and E.ON Call the Shots

    The same old refrain every day: We are running out of oil! The Strait of Hormuz is about to be closed! This is scaremongering by the oil lobby, which has been suffering from relatively low oil prices of USD 60 to USD 80 for the past two years. So a bit of stress is injected into the system, a few images of burning oil facilities appear in the news, and prices quickly start soaring again. Oil prices have already surged well above USD 100 twice on strong momentum - but that is not what scarcity looks like! The "Peak Oil" myth has already been debunked several times. In reality, with all the renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, oil demand has reached a peak, which, according to experts, is almost exactly 100 million barrels per day. And as recent studies show, there is still enough oil on Earth to last well over 200 years. So: take advantage of short-selling opportunities in the oil market as the conflict draws to a close, ride Shell's current oil wave as long as possible, and keep an eye on upcoming energy favorites such as American Atomics, RWE, or E.ON. Then your portfolio will be smiling - without falling into sheer panic.

    Gas shortages and the USD 150 bet on oil! Caution advised for Shell, BP, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power

    The daily news offers little reassurance for investors. Burning refineries, damaged oil tankers, and air battles over the planet's most oil-rich region mean extreme tension and volatility for the international capital markets. Despite all the horror, the financial carousel continues to turn. Institutional and private investors worldwide are sitting on USD 250 trillion in assets seeking investment opportunities. This keeps capital flows alive and encourages millions of people to keep an eye on the flashing prices. Energy companies are currently moving to the top of the list of interests, while some previously favored high-tech and AI stocks are currently consolidating. In this environment, it is worth looking not only at multinationals such as Shell or BP, but also at specialty stocks such as A.H.T. Syngas or Plug Power. They address the challenges of the times and must demonstrate how they can deliver operational performance in this environment. We take a closer look at the numbers.

    AI fuels demand, investors reap rewards: ExxonMobil, Standard Uranium, and Nordex in focus

    Electricity demand is exploding, driven by electrification and the race for supremacy in artificial intelligence. Governments and corporations are desperately searching for solutions to power data centers around the clock. The old dogma of climate neutrality is giving way to a pragmatic realignment. Every available kilowatt-hour counts, whether fossil, nuclear, or renewable. This tension between security of supply and technological competition is currently giving rise to three promising investment opportunities that could not be more different. While US oil giant ExxonMobil is benefiting from the return to fossil fuels, Standard Uranium is betting on the nuclear renaissance, and Nordex relies on wind power as an indispensable pillar of the future energy mix.
