Big Oil Missed This, Now It Could Be Worth Billions

Orignial Article: https://contentapi.cision...
LONDON, Jan. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In Namibia, an African venue that is being set up as the scene of the world's next—and possibly last—major onshore oil discovery, the oil and gas rights to an entire 8.5-million-acre sedimentary basin are owned by a single, small company.  Mentioned in today's commentary includes:  Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY), Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI), Equinor ASA (NYSE: EQNR), Apache Corporation (NASDAQ: APA), Crescent Point Energy Corp. (NYSE: CPG).


Now, Wood Mackenzie, the most trusted name in oil and gas resource assessments, has issued a report stating that this same basin is analogous to three world-class basins, including the $540-billion Midland Basin in Texas. 
One of the most respected petroleum geochemists in the world, Dan Jarvie, came out of retirement for this play and believes this could be one of the largest oil basins worldwide, and his conservative estimate is that it could hold over 100 billion barrels of oil. 
Just 40 days from now, the first well should be complete …And just a few weeks after that, the analytical results should start coming in. A discovery barely moves the needle on an integrated supermajor that's typically involved in  drilling  a basin of this scope and scale. 
But for a junior, even the start of a drill can have maximum impact on share prices… And the junior company stealing the show is Reconnaissance Energy Africa (RECO.V, RECAF).
#1 This 'African Permian' Play Is Considered Analogous to the Midland Basin
Massively underexplored Africa is most likely the only place in the world left where we can possibly anticipate a major onshore oil and gas discovery. If that ends up being Namibia--all the more exciting. This under-explored country has never produced a single barrel of oil in its history. Either onshore or offshore and has excellent fiscal terms and infrastructure.  
Exxon (XOM) has already scooped up an additional 7 million net acres offshore …But onshore, it's all about Recon Africa, which strategically swooped in to acquire the rights to the entire Kavango sedimentary basin from Namibia all the way to Botswana. That's a basin over 8.5 million acres, almost the size of Switzerland.
When Kavango first came to the world's attention a few years ago, another world-renowned geologist and geophysicist, Bill Cathey, who works with the oil and gas supermajors, studied the basin and said: "Nowhere in the world is there a sedimentary basin this deep that does not produce commercial hydrocarbons."
Then, Jarvie, a key force behind the Barnett Gas play and former chief geochemist for EOG Resources, jumped in on RECO as a shareholder because he saw a "very strong, independent junior explorer… sitting on a sedimentary basin that rivals South Texas in a massively underexplored region". Jarvie's own estimates 100+billion barrels of oil equivalent are based only on 12% of Recon Africa's (RECO.V, RECAF) total holdings.
#2 Analyst Coverage Is Decidedly Bullish—It Just Nearly Doubled 
Haywood is all over this one. In early November, Haywood initiated coverage with a short-term $2.50 price on RECO because the company is "set and funded to de-risk a potentially material resource play onshore Namibia and Botswana with 1,348 mmbbls/58.1 Tcf, a conservative estimated prospective recoverable resource (gross)."
In arriving at its 12-month target price of $2.50/share, Haywood has risked this upside potential by a 6% chance of commercialization. In other words, they're playing it uber-cautious with the $2.50 price tag. But in December Haywood raised its short term price target to $4.00 per share.
More to the point, Haywood recommended "accumulating a position ahead of drilling/evaluation news flow in H1/21 aimed at proving up the presence of a working hydrocarbons system, which if confirmed, should provide abundant opportunities for further exploration and appraisal drilling". 
Haywood is also hanging on Dan Jarvie's expertise here, with good reason. So, given the scale of the basin--again, we're talking about 8.5 million acres--a discovery would present manifold opportunities for strategic joint ventures for further de-risking--without share equity dilution. And now, that story just got even better ….
#3 Drilling Just Started ….
With the drill bit just hitting the ground on this massive African Permian play, If Dan Jarvie Is Right, RECO could end up going from a small-cap to a multi-billion-dollar company.
Torridon Investments has also initiated coverage, calling Recon Africa (RECO.V, RECAF) a "corporate story with a dedicated and internationally first-class management and technical team". 
The catalysts are all there, with the drill bit already hitting the ground in a 6-2 well spud.  By the second half of this year, it's likely RECO will already be in JV discussions if drilling goes as planned.
#4 This is the grand oil lottery
This is the oil lottery, but Recon Africa (RECO.V, RECAF) is not your average wildcatter. This is something entirely different. This is one of those oil opportunities that almost never comes around. This is a "high-conviction play", according to Torrindo's coverage, with a basin that is "one of the most significant underdeveloped basins of such depth globally". 


Recon Africa has put together a veritable "who's who" exploration and technical team to move this project forward with some of the most qualified and successful oil "finders" in the business.
• Jay Park, RECO COB and director, is a veteran energy lawyer with tons of Africa experience and was designated Queen's Counsel in Canada in 2011. He's advised oil companies and governments in 50 countries, and he has a following of the best of the best. 
• Scot Evans CEO, Geologist, new fields expert, is an energy industry leader with a combined 35 years of experience with Exxon, Landmark Graphics and Halliburton.
• Daniel Jarvie is globally recognized as a leading analytical and interpretive organic geochemist of Barnett Gas fame, and "Hart Energy's Most Influential People for the Petroleum Industry in the Next Decade."
• Nick Steinberger, a world-class drilling  completion expert and manager of the drilling company; yes Recon Africa owns its own rig that if picked up for a song in the downturn
• Bill Cathey is a geophysicist to the supermajors, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips …  major and large
This is the best of the best--all of them confident in the chance of discovering the largest oil play in the last 20 to 30 years. 
Oil Majors Are Making Moves In The Market, As Well


Norwegian oil and gas giant Equinor ASA (EQNR) is one of a handful of oil companies that managed to turn a profit in the tumultuous market after its oil storage bet paid off big time. Equinor reported a surprise adjusted net income of $646M for the second quarter, trouncing Wall Street's expectations for a loss of $250M thanks to huge trading profits despite a huge 53 percent plunge in revenue to $8.04B.
Equinor has has taken a technology-driven approach to the oil price crash in a way that few other companies have been able to. It's even brought the "remote" work idea to its oil rigs. Equinor's Valemon, situated 160km from land, contains about 192 million barrels of oil equivalent. Its remote employees are expected to spend two weeks a year on the vessel to familiarize themselves with the space, alleviating some of these safety concerns.


While Equinor's share price was hit hard in March 2020, it is already trading near its January 2020 prices thanks to its innovative approach to the crisis. And as the green push accelerates, Equinor may emerge as one of the most balanced energy companies in the business, making it particularly appealing as many other oil companies fall out of favor with investors. 


Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had a particularly turbulent 2020. Like all other oil firms everywhere in the world, Occidental struggled with the weak oil and gas prices, which impact the value of its proved and unproved oil and gas reserves.   


The crisis even lead to the collapse of a key deal in which Total was to buy Occidental's assets in Ghana. The collapsed deal was another blow to Occidental, which was relying on the sale of Anadarko's African assets to receive a total of US$8.8 billion that could partially reduce the huge debt it had accumulated to buy Anadarko in what analysts now see as an ill-timed decision to pursue such a huge and leveraged transaction. 


With the troubles of 2020 in its rear-view mirror, the company is looking to capitalize on the inevitable rebound in oil. And it's already beginning to materialize. Since November, Occidental stock has already risen by 100%, and this rally could kick into high gear in the coming months.


Major North American pipeline operator Kinder Morgan (KMI) has been particularly upbeat in recent months. In fact, in early December, it issued optimistic updates ,planning higher dividends and expecting more profits in 2021, after the challenges the oil industry has faced this year.  


Kinder Morgan also expects to raise its dividend for 2021 by 3 percent compared to this year. The company expects the board to declare a Q4 dividend of US$0.2625 per share or US$1.05 annualized. The board expects the 2021 dividend to be US$1.08 per share annualized, or a 3-percent increase from the 2020 dividend.


It was an interesting 2020 for Apache Energy (APA) investors, to say the least. Late in 2019, it fired its iconic VP of worldwide exploration, Steven Keenan after disappointing exploration results offshore Suriname, which was supposed to turn into another wild ride like Exxon's series of discoveries just across the maritime border in Guyana.


Despite the downturn, Apache still managed to beat other key players in the shale patch—but all eyes are now on Suriname, exactly where they should be. This is history in the making, and the upside is looking good.


Crescent Point Energy Corp.  (CPG) was another Canadian oil producer that struggled in the oil price crisis of last year. The mid-cap company saw its share price tumble from a January high of $4.56 to an all-time low of just $0.70 as oil demand dissipated and prices tumbled into the negatives in a historically bad first-quarter. The terrible year forced the company to lower output and capex forecasts for 2021.


Despite its struggles, however, Crescent has seen its share price climb significantly over the past month. In fact, it has even received a 'strong buy' signal from analysts at Zack's thanks to its strong price performance and improving technical.


Matt Murphy, an analyst with energy research firm Tudor Pickering Holt explained, "There will be a bit of incremental growth in excess of this record," adding, "Our model shows the oil sands getting to 3.3 million bpd by the middle of 2021."

Actual results may vary materially from the information provided in this document, and there is no representation that the actual results realized in the future will be the same in whole or in part as those presented herein. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements are also set forth in filings that Recon and its technical analysts have made, We undertake no obligation, except as otherwise required by law, to update these forward-looking statements except as required by law.


Exploration for hydrocarbons is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. Recon's future success will depend on its ability to develop its current properties and on its ability to discover resources that are capable of commercial production. However, there is no assurance that Recon's future exploration and development efforts will result in the discovery or development of commercial accumulations of oil and natural gas. In addition, even if hydrocarbons are discovered, the costs of extracting and delivering the hydrocarbons to market and variations in the market price may render uneconomic any discovered deposit. Geological conditions are variable and unpredictable. Even if production is commenced from a well, the quantity of hydrocarbons produced inevitably will decline over time, and production may be adversely affected or may have to be terminated altogether if Recon encounters unforeseen geological conditions. Adverse climatic conditions at such properties may also hinder Recon's ability to carry on exploration or production activities continuously throughout any given year.

Western Midstream Announces Exchange of Occidental Note for Western Midstream Units
Source: PR Newswire
HOUSTON, Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") announced the exchange of its 98% interest in the $260 million 6.50% fixed-rate note receivable due 2038 from Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) ("Occidental") for 27.855 million WES common units owned by Occidental (the "Exchange"). The units will be canceled following the Exchange. The net effect of this transaction increases WES's per-annum Free cash flow¹ after distributions by approximately $18.1 million based on current per-unit annualized distributions.
"This transaction is accretive to free cash flow, which will advance our leverage-reduction efforts," said WES Chief Executive Officer, Michael Ure. "The Exchange also allows both parties to avoid valuation discounts that typically apply to transactions involving the purchase and sale of these types of securities."
"Occidental and WES continue to work together to maximize value for our shareholders and unitholders," said Occidental President and Chief Executive Officer, Vicki Hollub. "This transaction represents a significant step towards Occidental's intention to reduce its ownership interest in WES to below 50%, while achieving advantageous pricing relative to alternative divestiture options and strengthening WES's financial profile, which in turn benefits Occidental as WES's largest customer and unitholder."
The Exchange was reviewed and approved by the Partnership's Special Committee, which includes only independent members of the board of directors of WES's general partner. The Special Committee was advised by Bracewell LLP as legal counsel, and by Lazard as financial advisor.

Occidental Enters into Definitive Agreement with Carl C. Icahn
Source: PR Newswire
HOUSTON, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Occidental Petroleum Corporation ("Occidental" or the "Company") (NYSE: OXY) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Carl C. Icahn and affiliated entities (the "Icahn Group") to add three new Icahn designated directors to Occidental's Board.
Pursuant to the agreement, effective immediately Andrew Langham, Nicholas Graziano and Margarita Paláu-Hernández have been appointed to Occidental's Board of Directors (the "Board") as new independent directors. Existing directors Spencer Abraham, Eugene Batchelder, Margaret M. Foran and Elisse B. Walter will retire from the Board effective at the Company's 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2020 Annual Meeting"). With today's appointments and planned retirements and the previously announced appointment of Stephen I. Chazen as Chairman of the Board, following the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board will be comprised of 11 directors, 10 of whom are independent.
"We are pleased to reach this agreement with Carl Icahn, and we look forward to working with Carl Icahn's Board members and the rest of the Board and management as a team to navigate the current difficult environment," said Stephen I. Chazen, Chairman of the Board.
Carl C. Icahn commented: "We believe Oxy is a good company with good assets.  We are pleased to have reached this settlement and can now focus on working with Steve Chazen to enhance value for all Oxy stockholders."
Occidental has also adopted certain corporate governance-enhancing amendments to its amended and restated by-laws, effective immediately, and agreed to recommend that the Occidental stockholders adopt amendments to Occidental's restated certificate of incorporation at the 2020 Annual Meeting that enhance stockholder rights to act by written consent, call special meetings and nominate directors.
The new directors will be represented on the committees of the Board and newly formed committees as set forth in the agreement.  The Board has also agreed to create an Oversight Committee that will include two of the Icahn directors.  The Oversight Committee will work closely with management to provide regular Board input and oversight, and, along with the Board, will be apprised of any inquiries or indications of interest relating to the Company or its assets.
The Icahn Group has withdrawn its slate of director nominees and stockholder proposals at the 2020 Annual Meeting and agreed to vote in favor of the Board's director nominees and amendments to Occidental's restated certificate of incorporation that enhance Occidental's corporate governance. The Icahn Group owns approximately 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
Under the agreement, the Icahn Group will petition the Delaware Supreme Court to withdraw its pending appeal before the Court relating to the Icahn Group's books and records request under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Icahn Group has also agreed to certain other customary voting and standstill provisions. 
Messrs. Langham and Graziano and Ms. Paláu-Hernández will each initially serve a term expiring at the 2020 Annual Meeting and the Company has agreed to include each of them on its slate of nominees for election as directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting. 
The complete agreement by and among Occidental, the Icahn Group and the other parties thereto will be filed on a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

HOUSTON, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) announced today a further reduction in 2020 capital spending to between $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion from its original 2020 guidance of $5.2 billion to $5.4 billion, a midpoint reduction of 47 percent. At current commodity prices, 2020 annual production from continuing operations is expected to be 1,275,000 to 1,305,000 BOEPD, a reduction of 6 percent compared to prior guidance of 1,360,000 to 1,390,000 BOEPD.
The Company also announced it will reduce 2020 operating and corporate costs by at least $600 million compared to the original 2020 plan, including significant salary reductions for executive leadership.

Stephen I. Chazen Elected to Occidental Board of Directors as Non-Executive Chairman
Source: PR Newswire
HOUSTON, March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) announced today that Stephen I. Chazen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Magnolia Oil and Gas Corporation, effective March 18, 2020, has been elected to its Board of Directors as Chairman of the Board. 
Mr. Chazen has more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Prior to founding the NYSE listed Magnolia Oil and Gas Corporation in 2018, Mr. Chazen served as Chief Executive Officer of Occidental from 2011 to his retirement in 2016 and as a director from 2010 to 2017.
"We are delighted to welcome Steve back to the Occidental family at this pivotal moment for the Company.  Steve brings unique perspective and experience to the Board gained through his service as Occidental's Chief Executive Officer and his subsequent position as Chief Executive Officer of Magnolia Oil and Gas Corporation," said Jack Moore, Independent Vice Chairman. "Steve oversaw a sustained period of value creation during his more than 20 years as an executive officer at Occidental, including five years as Chief Executive Officer, and has continued to expand his skill set after leaving the Company by leading a special purpose acquisition company through its initial public offering, initial business combination and emergence as a publicly-traded oil and gas exploration and production company. Steve's deep knowledge of Occidental and decades of operational and financial leadership in the industry will benefit the Board and add valuable insight as Occidental continues to focus on generating returns for shareholders and managing this challenging macroeconomic environment."
Regarding his appointment to the Board, Mr. Chazen stated, "The current macroenvironment is among the most difficult I have seen in my career. I am confident that the Board and this management team, led by Vicki Hollub, have the operational experience to guide Occidental through the challenges ahead, and my goal is to help them succeed. My primary focus and occupation remains as serving in the role of CEO of Magnolia.  I will not serve as an employee or executive of Occidental on any basis, whether interim or permanent.  It should be noted that Magnolia is a medium sized, South Texas focused, oil and gas producer.  Its principles are a controlled capital spending program, moderate production growth and low financial leverage.  This results in a sizeable portion of Magnolia's cash flow being undesignated."
Prior to serving as Chief Executive Officer of Occidental, Mr. Chazen served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and in other roles dating back to his joining the company in 1994. Prior to joining Occidental, Mr. Chazen served as Managing Director in Corporate Finance and Mergers and Acquisitions at Merrill Lynch. Mr. Chazen is a former Chairman of the Board of the American Petroleum Institute and he currently serves on the Board of Advisors of the Baker Institute, the Board of Regents of the University of Houston, and he is a Director of Houston Methodist Institute for Academic Medicine, the Williams Companies and the National Park Foundation. Mr. Chazen holds a Ph.D. in Geology from Michigan State University, a master's degree in Finance from the University of Houston, and a bachelor's degree in Geology from Rutgers College.

Source: PR Newswire
HOUSTON, Jan. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") and Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) ("Occidental") announced the execution of several agreements that will enable WES to fully operate as a stand-alone business, consistent with WES's and Occidental's joint effort to establish WES as an independent midstream company. WES fully expects to continue its long-term and meaningful relationship with Occidental. These new agreements support WES's ongoing and focused pursuit of third-party growth opportunities and underscore the importance of WES's commitment to leverage its existing midstream infrastructure to attract additional Occidental and third-party volumes.    
"Over the last few months, WES and Occidental have worked together to execute agreements that are supportive of both companies' intent to operate and report as two separate and distinct entities," said Chief Executive Officer, Michael Ure. "We are excited about the operational changes that are enabled by these agreements and the governance changes that will inure to the benefit of WES and its stakeholders. Taking into account the anticipated economic impact of these recently executed agreements, we have refined our 2020 outlook that was announced with our Q3 2019 results and currently expect 2020 Adjusted EBITDA between $1.875 billion and $1.975 billion and 2020 total capital expenditures between $875 million and $950 million." 
Key terms of the newly executed agreements include: 
• The December 2019 transfer of employment of WES's management team from Occidental to WES, which ensures independent managerial control of WES's strategic initiatives and day-to-day operations.
• The December 2019 secondment of specifically identified WES-dedicated employees of Occidental who will be under the direct supervision of WES management prior to their transfer from Occidental to WES, which will occur during 2020.
• The provision of limited administrative shared services by Occidental to WES for an initial two-year period.
• The meaningful expansion of WES unitholders' rights to replace WES's general partner under an amended limited partnership agreement.
• A $20 million cash contribution by Occidental to WES during the first quarter of 2020 in recognition of WES's historical financial support of existing administrative infrastructure, thereby significantly defraying anticipated transition costs required to establish stand-alone human resources and information technology functions at WES.
• New long-term oil and gas gathering acreage dedications by Occidental, covering approximately 21,000 acres in Weld County, Colorado, supported by minimum volume commitments and complemented by previously executed DJ Basin gas-processing dedications will be put in place. 
Ure continued, "We strongly believe that the formal identification of a WES-dedicated workforce enhances employee focus, which in turn empowers employees to deliver operational efficiencies and improved customer service, establishes heightened accountability, and positions WES, beginning in 2020, to directly align compensation incentives for all WES-dedicated employees with WES's internally developed midstream performance targets."
"The execution of these new agreements was the result of diligent work between and among WES and Occidental legal, finance, and operations groups," said Chief Financial Officer, Mike Pearl. "We firmly believe that the resulting governance and employment changes establish an appropriate realignment of incentives that now will be based solely on WES's performance as an independent midstream company, which we view as critical to sustaining long-term value creation for all of our stakeholders."  
The above-described related-party agreements with Occidental were reviewed and approved by the Special Committee, which includes only independent members of the board of directors of WES's general partner. The Special Committee was advised by Bracewell LLP, as legal counsel, and by Lazard, as financial advisor. Concurrent with the execution of these new agreements, WES's general partner adopted an amended and restated agreement of limited partnership providing unaffiliated public unitholders significantly expanded rights to remove the WES general partner.

(BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) ("the Company") informs that today it completed the joint venture transaction announced last July 31, 2019.  Through this deal, the Company and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE: OXY) agreed to form a strategic alliance or Joint Venture ("JV") for the development of unconventional reservoirs in approximately 97,000 acres of the Permian Basin in the State of Texas (US). 
For these purposes, Ecopetrol Permian LLC, 100% owned by Ecopetrol S.A., has acquired a 49% stake in Rodeo Midland Basin LLC, a company incorporated in the State of Delaware, meeting the capital requirements of such jurisdiction and whose economic activity will be directed towards the execution of the joint development plan under the JV. After the transaction, which has an already announced value of approximately 1.5 billion dollars (50% in cash and 50% in carry), Occidental will retain 51% of Rodeo Midland Basin LLC, through its affiliate Occidental Midland Basin LLC. 
For the acquisition and closing of the transaction, Ecopetrol S.A. made an initial payment of approximately 876.5 million dollars (equivalent to 50% of the total transaction value) comprised as follows: (i) approximately 750 million dollars corresponding to its share of the transaction value of the JV and (ii) 126.5 million dollars corresponding to the estimated expenditures of the development plan in 2019 between  the effective date of the JV (August 1, 2019) and the rest of the year.  
Presently, there are two rigs in operation in the area. Two wells have been drilled and are in completion in order to achieve their first production by the end of 2019. Activity levels are expected to continue to increase through next year, with four rigs expected to be in operation by the end of 2020. The JV is expected to allow the Ecopetrol Group to incorporate proven reserves of approximately 160 million boe by the end of 2019.
This transaction is aligned with Ecopetrol's strategic priorities outlined in the 2019-2021 business plan, which are focused on reserves and production growth under strict capital discipline, supported by exploration activities, enhanced oil recovery, unconventional resources and the internationalization of operations.  It also strengthens Ecopetrol's relationship with a respected, strategic partner, highly experienced in the development of unconventional resources.

DENVER, June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- EnerCom is pleased to announce that global oil and gas giant Eni, SpA Vice President Andrew Lees will deliver the keynote luncheon address at EnerCom's The Oil & Gas Conference® on Aug. 14, 2019.
Eni, SpA
Eni, SpA (NYSE: E) is an Italian global oil and gas and energy company operating in 67 countries worldwide, with 30,000 employees in upstream, midstream and downstream operations. Eni reported daily production for oil and gas of 1.85 MMBOPD for 2018. The company's adjusted operating profit for 2018 more than doubled its 2017 operating profit and represented Eni's best performance of the past eight years, Eni reports.
In 2018 Eni, SpA's upstream exploration group operated in:
• Angola on the West Hub and East Hub projects;
• Egypt on Zohr, the largest deposit in the Mediterranean Sea;
• Nooros, offshore in the Nile Delta;
• the Republic of Congo on the Nené Marine project;
• Indonesia with Jangkrik; and
• offshore Norway with Goliat.
Goliat has been developed using the world's largest and most sophisticated cylindrical floating production and storage unit - FPSO—it is the largest and most sophisticated cylindrical FPSO ever built with production capacity of a million barrels of oil.
"With the increasing integration of Upstream and Mid-downstream and due to the massive amount of gas we have discovered, we are turning into a gas and power company with an evolving model that is that is still tied to retail but linked to Upstream," Eni said.

DENVER, May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- EnerCom is pleased to announce that legendary oilman Harold G. Hamm, chairman and CEO of Continental Resources (NYSE: CLR), will take the stage for a discussion about U.S. shale and look at the prospects for U.S. oil and gas exploration in a "fireside chat" Tuesday, August 13, 2019, during EnerCom's The Oil & Gas Conference® in downtown Denver's Westin hotel.
Limited space is available for conference registrants to join the discussion with Mr. Hamm. Completing online registration well in advance of The Oil & Gas Conference® will provide your best chance to participate in Mr. Hamm's luncheon discussion during the 2019 EnerCom conference.
Harold Hamm and Continental Resources
Harold Hamm is founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Continental Resources, one of North America's iconic oil and gas explorers and producers and one of the leading oil producers in the Bakken oil play in the Williston Basin and the STACK/SCOOP plays in Oklahoma. With a market capitalization of $14.5 billion, Continental ranks in the top ten largest U.S. independent exploration and production companies, sharing the top of the list with companies like ConocoPhillips ($COP), EOG Resources ($EOG) and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY), whose CFO Cedric Burgher will give a luncheon keynote address at The Oil & Gas Conference® on Monday, Aug. 12. 
Mr. Hamm is heavily involved with furthering the success of the U.S. oil and gas industry on a global scale. He co-founded and serves as chairman of the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, whose goal is to preserve the millions of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity and tax revenues generated by onshore drilling and production activities within the United States. Through his work with DEPA, Mr. Hamm is widely recognized as the man who led the charge to lift America's 40-year-old ban on U.S. crude oil exports, opening new global markets for America's oil producers.
Hamm, the youngest of 13 children born to a family of sharecroppers, began working in the oilfields as a teenager and founded Continental Resources in 1967 at the age of 21. He is a frequent guest on business and financial cable networks and global business publications. Mr. Hamm has been recognized by numerous industry groups as Executive of the Year, Wildcatter of the Year, Chief Roughneck, CEO of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2012 Harold Hamm was named by TIME Magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World."

HOUSTON, April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) today confirmed that it has received an unsolicited proposal from Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) on April 24, 2019 under which Anadarko shareholders would receive $38.00 in cash and 0.6094 shares of Occidental common stock for each share of Anadarko common stock.
As previously announced on April 12, 2019, following unanimous approval from the Company's board of directors, Anadarko entered into a definitive agreement (the "Chevron Merger Agreement") with Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) under which a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Anadarko in a stock and cash transaction valued at $33 billion, or $65 per share.
In accordance with the terms of the Chevron Merger Agreement, and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, Anadarko's board of directors will carefully review Occidental's proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the Company's stockholders. The Anadarko board has not made any determination as to whether Occidental's proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a superior proposal under the terms of the Chevron Merger Agreement. The Anadarko board expects to respond to Occidental's proposal upon completing its review, and accordingly reaffirms its existing recommendation of the transaction with Chevron at this time.
Anadarko stockholders are advised to take no action at this time.
Evercore and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are acting as financial advisors to Anadarko. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is acting as legal advisor to Anadarko.

NET Power Demonstration Plant Wins 2018 ADIPEC Breakthrough Technological Project of the Year
Source: PR Newswire
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of its demonstration plant in La Porte, Texas, NET Power, LLC, was awarded the 2018 Breakthrough Technological Project of the Year at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC). ADIPEC is one of the world's largest and most influential oil and gas events. NET Power's 50MWth plant demonstrates the company's low-cost, emissions-free, natural gas electric power system. It is the world's first and only industrial-scale supercritical CO₂-based power plant.
By generating non-intermittent, competitively-priced power with full carbon capture, NET Power will help the world to reach deep decarbonization targets at the lowest cost. Using its novel power system, the company strives to push the cost of CO₂ capture so low that it will be more economic to re-use and sequester carbon than to emit it into the atmosphere. NET Power's CO₂ can be used for enhanced oil recovery or oil field pressure maintenance, with the goal of cutting the carbon footprint of fossil fuels to zero.  In addition, NET Power's CO₂ can be directly and safely sequestered in saline aquifers, sedimentary deposits, and depleted oil fields. Ultimately, NET Power's goal is to make CO₂ so affordable that it will catalyze the establishment of a new carbon economy built around novel CO₂ utilization technologies, such as sour gas cleanup and the production of carbon nanofiber, methanol and concrete.
In May of this year, NET Power achieved first-fire at its 50MWth demonstration power plant.   The last phase of testing is underway and is expected to be completed in early 2019. 
Since commencing development in 2014, NET Power identified important market needs by working with major power, oil, gas, chemical and industrial companies worldwide.  In early 2019, NET Power expects to commence detailed engineering of 300MWe commercial-scale plants with customers.
NET Power is owned by Exelon Generation (NYSE: EXC), McDermott (NYSE: MDR), 8 Rivers Capital, and, subject to regulatory approval, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY).
NET Power, LLC, is a Durham, NC-based company developing the natural gas-fueled Allam Cycle power system.  For more information, please visit www.NETPower.com.
