- Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 2:34 PM BofA Merrill Lynch lowers its oil price forecast but says the selloff in oil stocks has opened up attractive opportunities, viewing top pick Hess (HES +4.6%) and others - MRO +3.7%, CHK +5.3%, APC +4.8%, OXY +3.7% - as offering the best upside potential. Many of the downside risks facing those companies are already priced into the stocks, the firm says. (earlier) Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Monday, June 4, 2012, 10:48 AM Marathon Oil (MRO -1.2%) delivers a plan for development and operation of the Boyla oil and gas field in the North Sea, with a total investment of ~$800K.

- Monday, April 9, 2012, 5:20 PM Marathon Oil (MRO) sells substantially all its Alaskan assets to Hilcorp Alaska.

DividendCatcher: I have thought highly of BP. I am thinking that might be my next one. Oil will eventually go back up and BP will probably be a nice play.
