Tuesday, June 18, 2:58 PM Marathon Oil's (MRO +3%) outlook is upgraded to positive from stable by Fitch Ratings, which cites strong growth in its shale liquids plays, particularly at Eagle Ford. MRO also boasts a sizable, multi-year inventory of drilling opportunities in the shale plays that provides good visibility on future production and reserve growth, raising Fitch's confidence that it should be able to sustain its positive momentum. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]
Friday, June 14, 5:53 PM Marathon Oil's (MRO) choice of a new CEO shows the company remains focused on its international business rather than morphing into a pure shale play, Raymond James analysts conclude. New man Lee Tillman has served in Indonesia, Norway, Equatorial Guinea and elsewhere during his career; he's "a classic multinational oil and gas executive, making this a hire that fits logically with Marathon’s heritage."

Friday, June 7, 11:35 AM Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP +1.1%) is allowed to limit the amount of sulfide gas in crude oil shipped on its pipeline into its rail loading terminal in North Dakota, the FERC ruled late yesterday.

Thursday, May 23, 8:54 AM Marathon Oil (MRO) -2.5% premarket after saying it failed to reach a deal with a prospective buyer for a portion of its 20% outside-operated interest in Alberta's Athabasca Oil Sands Project.

Thursday, May 9, 11:30 AM The shale bonanza has sparked a switch in the behavior of oil firms: Companies have been selling off assets overseas and pumping money back into the U.S. Conoco (COP) has been involved in six major foreign sales in the past year totaling $11B, and much of it is being redirected into North Dakota and Texas shale. Other firms redirecting overseas assets to the U.S.: HES, DVN, APA, MRO, MUR, NBL. 3 Comments [Energy]

Thursday, April 25, 10:43 AM Cobalt Energy (CIE +1.8%), which has doubled in value since going public in 2009 but still trades at a substantial discount to the value of its underlying assets, is turning into a takeover target for energy companies attracted to its oil finds from Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, Bloomberg writes. CIE’s assets are "a needle mover" for a large international player, Guggenheim says. 1 Comment [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 3, 5:20 AM Marathon Oil (MRO) has reportedly put its 10% holdings in two Angolan offshore oil and gas fields up for sale, possibly as part of its plans to offload up to $3B worth of assets.

Wednesday, March 20, 11:48 AM The big Shenandoah oil deposit, potentially one of the largest discoveries ever in the Gulf of Mexico, could contain 500M-1B boe, Citi analyst Robert Morris says in backing his Buy ratings for Anadarko (APC +3%), Cobalt (CIE +7.7%) and Marathon (MRO +0.8%). The discovery could boost APC's profits by $3-$6/share, CIE's by $2.50-$5/share and MRO's by $0.75-$1.50. 9 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
Wednesday, March 20, 8:43 AM Potential bidders for today’s Gulf of Mexico oil-lease round (including BP), with 7,000 deepwater blocks up for grabs, surely are heartened by Anadarko’s "potentially giant" find that dwarfs other discoveries in the Shenandoah Basin region. The success raises hopes the Gulf will remain an important oil-producing region for years to come. Premarket: APC +3%, COP +1.7%, CIE +7.3%, MRO +1.3%. Comment! [Energy]
