Investment Conclusion

"The Original E&P Spending Survey" is a semiannual product, initiated by this author at another firm in 1982. The survey attempts to include every meaningful spender on exploration and production throughout the world. It is by far the largest, most comprehensive survey of its kind, in our opinion, and encompasses integrated oil companies, independents, and national oil companies worldwide. We have gone to great lengths to obtain accurate budget information from these companies.

Summary

Worldwide exploration and production expenditures are forecast to rise by 12% globally in 2010 to $447 billion from $400 billion in 2009 as estimated by the 427 companies in the Barclays Capital Original E&P Spending Survey.

E&P expenditures are estimated to rise by 18% in the U.S. to $85 billion, by 9% internationally to $335 billion and by 28% in Canada to $27 billion. This compares with our December survey, which indicated increases of 12% in the U.S., 10.5% internationally, and 23% in Canada.

The average commodity prices on which companies are basing their 2010 budgets have increased to $73.56 per barrel for oil (up 5% from the level indicated in our December survey) and declined to $4.65 for natural gas (down 11% from the level indicated in December).

Growth in E&P expenditures is anticipated to continue in 2011 by well over half of companies surveyed, with 37% indicating spending would be up 20% or more, 16% saying they expect to raise spending by 10-20% and 7% expecting more modest increases of 1-10%.

Executive Summary:

Global E&P Spending Growth Revised Up Modestly

The mid-year update to the Barclays Capital Original Exploration and Production Capital Expenditure Survey indicates a modest upwards revision to forecast global E&P spending growth compared to the results of our December 2009 survey. Global E&P expenditures in 2010 are slated to rise by 12% to $447 billion by the 427 companies we surveyed (the largest number of participants we have ever gathered). By comparison, our December 2009 survey indicated an 11% increase in global E&P spending.

Increased U.S. E&P Spending Growth

U.S. exploration and production expenditures are now slated to rise by 18% for the 220 companies we surveyed as compared with the 12% increase forecast in our December 2009 survey. North America-based independent firms have been the most aggressive in increasing spending plans. Many smaller firms (spending under $100 million) anticipate significant year-on-year increases in spending in 2010. The reasons for the increased spending growth in the U.S. are higher oil price expectations, success in drilling in shale, drilling to hold leases and hedging. This more than offsets lower natural gas price expectations. Overall, we have estimated a spending reduction as a result of the deepwater drilling moratorium put in place following the Macondo oil spill of 2% (down to an 18% increase from 20%), or about $1.6 billion.

International E&P Spending Growth Revised Down Modestly

Internationally, we are expecting spending of the 151 oil and gas companies we surveyed to be up 9% year-on-year. This represents a modest downward revision in international growth expectations compared to the results of our December 2009 survey (which indicated growth of 10.5%). Regions in which companies have trimmed capex growth expectations include Russia, Latin America and Asia/Australia.

Canadian Growth Forecasts Revised Upwards

Canadian E&P capital expenditures are estimated to rise by 28% in 2010 to $27 billion for the 131 companies we surveyed. This compares to the 23% increase that had been indicated by our year-end survey. However, excluding the impact of the strengthening Canadian dollar, Canadian capital spending growth is generally in-line with the U.S.

Oil Price Assumptions Revised Up Modestly; Nat Gas Price Forecasts Reduced Versus December Survey

The average natural gas price assumption used for 2010 budgets is now $4.65 per mcf (Henry Hub), down from $5.21 in our year-end 2009 survey. In contrast, the average oil price assumption used for 2010 budgets is now $73.56 per barrel (West Texas Intermediate) compared to $70.16 in our December 2009 survey.

Majority of Respondents Expect Continued Spending Recovery in ‘11

Capital expenditures are forecast to increase in 2011 by a majority of oil and gas companies surveyed. Of those companies expecting spending increases in 2011, over 60% anticipate a gain of at least 20%.

Summary of Results

Global E&P Capex Growth Forecasts Revised Up Modestly Versus Year-end Survey

The midyear update to the Barclays Capital Original E&P Spending Survey indicates that expenditures for the 427 companies surveyed are now budgeted to rise by 12% in 2010 (to $447 billion), compared to the 11% increase forecast in our December 2009 survey. North American capital expenditures are now expected to rise at a faster rate than previously forecast; however, international E&P spending is now indicated to rise by 9% year-on-year (versus a 10.5% increase in our December survey).

Companies of all sizes have increased their 2010 U.S. spending budgets versus earlier estimates, although the greatest increases are expected from companies that spend less than $100 million (up 87% versus an increase of 48% forecast in December). Those companies that spend more than $1 billion are also now indicating much stronger increases in 2010 U.S. E&P expenditures – up 12% versus the 6% improvement estimated by our December survey. Those companies with the largest expected increases within this group include EOG Resources (+64%), Apache (+64%), EnCana (+37%), Hess (+34%), Newfield Exploration (+25%), and Chesapeake Energy (+23%).

Companies that spend between $100 million and $1 billion have more modestly increased their 2010 budgets as compared to our December survey. These companies are now budgeting a 28% increase in their 2010 E&P expenditures (versus 2009 spending) as compared with the 24% increase indicated in our December 2009 survey. The largest expansions in 2010 budgets versus 2009 include Talisman Energy (+232%), Pioneer Natural Resources (+161%), Penn Virginia Oil and Gas (+133%), Swift Energy (+118%), Continental Resources (+115%), and Berry Petroleum (+104%).

The reasons for the increased spending growth in the U.S. are higher oil price expectations, success in drilling in shale, drilling to hold leases and hedging. This more than offsets lower natural gas price expectations. Overall, we have estimated a spending reduction as a result of the deepwater drilling moratorium put in place following the Macondo oil spill of 2% (down to an 18% increase from 20%), or about $1.6 billion.

Modest Downward Revision to International Spending Growth in 2010

Overall, international E&P spending is seen rising by 9% for the 151 companies in our survey. By comparison, responders to our December 2009 survey indicated an expected increase in international spending of 10.5%.

Companies based in Russia are now estimated to increase capital spending by about 13% in 2010 versus 2009 (this compares to an increase of 20% in our December 2009 survey). We believe that weather-related delays earlier this year have been partly responsible for the reductions in spending expectations in Russia.

Independents based in North America invest the bulk of their capital in their home countries, but many also have substantial international operations. These firms are now anticipating year-on-year spending growth of 26% in 2010; by contrast, our December 2009 survey indicated growth expectations of 13%.

Latin American companies are now forecasting a decline of 5% versus the 9% increase anticipated in our December 2009 survey. This is primarily driven by significant reductions in spending for the Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA (down 25% versus up 1% in our December survey), and PEMEX in Mexico (down 18% compared to a decline of 6% in December). Spending for other Latin American E&P companies is generally in-line with estimates from our December 2009 survey.

Spending for Europe-based operators has increased compared to the results of our December 2009 survey, with year-on-year spending now slated to increase by 9% (versus 2% in December). The increase is led by higher budgets versus 2009 levels for BG Group and Eni.

Canadian Spending Expected to Increase

Capital expenditure budgets in Canada are now expected to rise by 28% in 2010 for the 131 companies we surveyed. In our December survey, spending had been forecast to rise by 23%. We attempt to exclude oil sands spending which is not directly related to drilling and oil service activity from our survey. Because we convert survey responses that are denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, the strengthening of the Canadian dollar in 2010 versus 2009 is partly responsible for the apparent strong year-on-year growth in Canadian E&P spending. In Canadian dollar terms, we estimate that E&P capital spending has risen by about 17%, generally in-line with the rate of U.S. E&P spending growth.

Similar to the U.S., Canadian increases in E&P spending are broad-based. Firms spending between $100 million and $1 billion have indicated that spending is expected to increase by 35% in 2010 versus 2009. In our December survey, this group of companies had anticipated a 26% expansion in 2010 expenditures. Those companies spending over $1 billion in Canada in 2010 are increasing budgets by 18% versus a 14% rise in expenditures indicated by our December survey. Those firms spending less than $100 million are estimated to have the largest increases in capex budgets, indicating that spending will rise by 69% year-on-year in 2010. Our December 2009 survey indicated an increase of 59% for these companies.

Comparison of June 2010 and December 2009 Survey Results – “Apples-to-Apples”

To get an “apples-to-apples” comparison, we looked at companies that we included in both our December 2009 and June 2010 surveys. Of the 298 companies that were in both surveys, the anticipated year-on-year increase in overall 2010 budgets was 11.0%, while in our December survey these companies expected capital expenditures to rise by 11.4%. On balance, operators revised total 2010 budgets down by $1.7 billion on a worldwide basis. In the U.S., about $3 billion was added to budgets and an additional $2.6 billion was added to budgets in Canada as well. However, largely offsetting these increases, international spending budgets were trimmed by $7.3 billion. Worldwide capital spending in 2009 was close to the level forecast as of our December 2009 survey.

United States

When comparing companies that were included in both surveys, 63 companies increased budgets versus the expected level in our December 2009 survey while 53 companies trimmed budgets and 45 kept 2010 spending plans unchanged.

International (Outside North America)

On balance, companies included in both surveys have trimmed about $7.3 billion from 2010 international spending plans compared to the results of our December 2009 survey. Spending for 2009 was generally in-line with the results of our last survey. Companies for which we have lowered our international spending expectations versus the results of our December survey include Exxon Mobil, Sonangol, Nigerian National Petroleum Corp., Statoil, Royal Dutch/Shell, PEMEX and PDVSA.

Canada

In Canada, 2009 and 2010 spending plans have both risen versus our December 2009 survey for those companies that participated in both surveys. However, we believe this is primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Twenty-six 2010 budgets have been revised lower versus expectations in our December 2009 survey, while 55 budgets have been increased and 20 budgets have remained unchanged (in U.S. dollar terms).

Operators Raise Average Oil Price Assumption and Trim Average Natural Gas Price Forecast

Compared to our December survey, operators surveyed have on average increased the oil forecast underpinning their budgeting decisions and trimmed their average forecast for natural gas prices. The average oil price assumption rose to $73.56 from $70.16 in our year-end 2009 survey. Operators are currently basing their 2010 budgets on an average natural gas price of $4.65, down from $5.21 as of our December 2009 survey.

E&P Expenditures Growth Expected to Continue in 2011

Sixty percent of the companies in our survey expect to increase their capital budgets in 2011 versus 2010, with 37% indicating spending would be up 20% or more, 16% indicating they would raise spending by 10-20% and 7% anticipating more modest increases of 1-10%. In contrast, 26% of companies surveyed expect spending to be flat and 13% expect budgets to be lower sequentially in 2011. Five percent of responders forecast cuts of between 1% and 10% and 8% anticipated cuts of 10% or more.

Survey Methodology

We surveyed 427 companies on their worldwide E&P expenditure plans for 2009 and 2010. We asked detailed questions about the composition of their budgets and strategic shifts within these budgets. We originally faxed and e-mailed surveys to all participants, and followed up with numerous telephone calls to many of them, particularly to government-owned oil companies, foreign oil companies, and majors. All E&P expenditures, however, are our estimates, and may incorporate a variety of sources. We believe this survey is the most extensive study of oil and gas company spending plans conducted. The following points should be noted when interpreting the results.

1. The 2009 and 2010 budgets are Barclays Capital estimates.

2. Any company that spends more than $100,000 on exploration and production in 2009 or 2010 is eligible for our survey.

3. Budgets exclude acquisitions and, whenever possible, purchases of reserves or producing properties. For cases in which a company has been acquired, we have attempted to include the spending of the acquired company in the new company’s 2009 spending.

4. We have attempted to adjust the numbers for companies whose fiscal year ends on a date other than December 31.

Barclays Capital produces a variety of research products including, but not limited to, fundamental analysis, equity-linked analysis, quantitative analysis, and trade ideas. Recommendations contained in one type of research product may differ from recommendations contained in other types of research products, whether as a result of differing time horizons, methodologies, or otherwise.

Guide to the Barclays Capital Fundamental Equity Research Rating System: Our coverage analysts use a relative rating system in which they rate stocks as 1-Overweight, 2-Equal Weight or 3-Underweight (see definitions below) relative to other companies covered by the analyst or a team of analysts that are deemed to be in the same industry sector (the “sector coverage universe”). Below is the list of companies that constitute the sector coverage universe: Baker Hughes (BHI) Basic Energy Services (BAS) Bristow Group Inc. (BRS) Cameron International (CAM) CARBO Ceramics (CRR) Chart Industries Inc. (GTLS) Core Laboratories (CLB) Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) Dresser-Rand Group Inc. (DRC) Dril-Quip Inc.

(TRMA) Weatherford International (WFT) In addition to the stock rating, we provide sector views which rate the outlook for the sector coverage universe as 1-Positive, 2-Neutral or 3-Negative (see definitions below). A rating system using terms such as buy, hold and sell is not the equivalent of our rating system. Investors should carefully read the entire research report including the definitions of all ratings and not infer its contents from ratings alone. Stock Rating 1-Overweight - The stock is expected to outperform the unweighted expected total return of the sector coverage universe over a 12-month investment horizon.

RS-Rating Suspended - The rating and target price have been suspended temporarily due to market events that made coverage impracticable or to comply with applicable regulations and/or firm policies in certain circumstances including when Barclays Capital is acting in an advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving the company. Sector View 1-Positive - sector coverage universe fundamentals/valuations are improving. 2-Neutral - sector coverage universe fundamentals/valuations are steady, neither improving nor deteriorating. 3-Negative - sector coverage universe fundamentals/valuations are deteriorating.
