Saturn Oil & Gas, TORC Oil & Gas, Whitecap Resources - it's time for harmless oil!

In recent years, there has been a growing trend in modern society that food must originate from the region and a declaration as 'organic' is now considered mandatory. Coffee beans from distant countries should definitely carry the label 'Fairtrade' and blood diamonds are rightly considered frowned upon. Consumers have changed the supply with their purchasing and market power. When will the oil market change?

    Top 10 oil production

    The global oil market is as large as all other commodity markets combined. It is therefore all the more important that this market functions properly, i.e. that supply and demand can meet in equal quantities to ensure fair pricing. In October 2019, the USA led the list of producing countries with a quantity of 12.6 million barrels per day.

    Russia ranked second with 10.6 million barrels, followed by Saudi Arabia with 10.3 million barrels, Iraq with 4.6 million barrels and China with 3.8 million barrels. In sixth place was Canada with 3.6 million barrels per day, followed by Kuwait with 2.6 million barrels, Nigeria with 2.0 million barrels, Norway with 1.5 million barrels and Angola with 1.4 million barrels.

    Tolerance despite death penalties

    It is no secret that countries that rely on large deposits of raw materials are not necessarily modern and developed. Often dictators and autocrats have such countries firmly in their grip and the revenues tend to seep into private pockets rather than to promote and advance society.

    For example, the death penalty is on the agenda in many producing countries and a large part of the proceeds from oil production goes into the military budget. The latter is probably also one reason why the political tolerance of the Western world towards countries with little understanding of human rights is so great.

    More than 100 million barrels per day

    With its high environmental standards, Canada is virtually the 'organic farmer' among the oil-producing countries. Based on facts, it is probably only a matter of time before a new trend emerges that oil must come from countries that, like Canada, protect the environment and respect human rights.

    A development that will also benefit the companies Saturn Oil & Gas, TORC Oil & Gas and Whitecap Resources. The demand for oil in modern society will remain unbroken for many decades to come. Demand will continue to come not only from the energy sector, but also from other processing industries that require crude oil as an ingredient. Would consumers at the gas station prefer harmless fuel?

    Zefiro Methane: Billions from Washington – Analysts See Potential for a Tripling

    Created and Published on Behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.

    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.
