Oil & Gas stocks continue to be active as oil trades around $83 in June 2012. Below is a list of the top rated Oil & Gas stocks. Check out my Top Oil Stock Picks in 2012. Also, I would keep tabs on the latest developments in the Eagle Ford Shale & Bakken Shale.
Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG) - Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG) is one of my top oil stock picks for 2012. KOG is now trading back near $7.40. KOG is now the new hot company in the Bakken Shale. KOG is a strong buy below $9 for the long term. I am giving KOG a $20-$30 price target by the 1st quarter of 2014. That's a 100-200% gain from a $10 stock price.
ConocoPhillips (COP) - ConocoPhillips (COP) is trading back near $52 right now. COP will have support at $51 and resistance at $57. COP is a strong buy below $50 for the long term. ConocoPhillips (COP) is active in the new emerging shale play called the Tuscaloosa Shale.
Chevron Corp (CVX) - Chevron Corp (CVX) is another oil & gas stock to buy. CVX is back trading below $100. CVX is a strong buy below $98.
Devon Energy Corporation (DVN) - Devon Energy (DVN) is trading back near $58. DVN will have resistance located at $60.81. DVN is a strong buy below $58.
Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) - Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) is trading back below $16. CHK has really ramped up in the Eagle Ford Shale & Bakken Shale over the past 12 months. They have also signed a huge JV in the Niobrara Shale. Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) recently did a Utica Shale multi billion dollar joint venture.
Western Refining, Inc. (WNR) - Western Refining, Inc. (WNR) is trading back near $19. WNR is a buy below $15 for a trade.
EnCana Corporation (ECA) - Encana Corp (ECA) is a great Oil and Natural Gas stock play. ECA is now trading back below $20.00. Look for Encana to hit Oil in the Collingwood Shale & Duvernay Shale in 2012-2013. ECA remains a strong buy below $20.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (COG) - Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (COG) has some nice oil assets around the USA and was the first company to talk about the Chainman Shale. We also recently heard about the Smackover Brown Dense, another emerging oil field.
