Since April, oil has continued to trade at its highest levels, supported by robust energy demand and tight supplies.<\/span> WTI crude oil futures inched up $82 per barrel<\/span><\/a> yesterday, following the EIA report indicating a larger-than-expected drop in US crude stockpiles. US crude oil inventories decreased by 3.444 million barrels, surpassing the projected decline of 3 million barrels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the heightened travel and mobility and increased air conditioning usage during the summer months continue to push oil demand higher. Amid solid seasonal demand and the looming threat of hurricanes and geopolitical instability, investors could take advantage of surging oil prices by watching key energy stocks<\/span> Shell plc (SHEL)<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> BP p.l.c. (BP)<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Phillips 66 (PSX)<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> Valero Energy Corporation (VLO)<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Impact of Hurricane Beryl and Potential Future Storms on Oil Production and Prices<\/b><\/p>\n

Hurricane Beryl<\/span> battered Southeast Texas with powerful winds and torrential rain<\/span><\/a>, forcing the closure of oil ports, the cancellation of hundreds of flights, and leaving around 2.7 million homes and businesses without power. Beryl shut U.S. refineries and ports along the Gulf of Mexico, raising concerns about oil production and transportation disruptions. Oil output from the Gulf of Mexico is generally about 1.8 million barrels per day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically, hurricanes have significantly resulted in production halts and evacuation of rigs and refineries, leading to supply constraints, which typically push oil prices upward. The impact of these weather events is two-fold: immediate supply disruption and longer-term infrastructure damage, which can keep prices elevated even after the storm has passed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased Travel and Cooling During Summer Driving Higher Oil Prices<\/b><\/p>\n

The summer season traditionally sees a surge in travel and mobility alongside air conditioning usage, driving up oil demand. This year is no exception, with intense summer demand for gasoline and jet fuel contributing to rising oil prices. OPEC<\/span> maintained its forecast for robust global oil demand<\/span><\/a> growth in 2024, citing resilient economic growth and a solid rebound in air travel during the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

In its<\/span> latest Monthly Oil Market Report<\/span><\/a> (MOMR), OPEC expects global oil demand to increase by 2.25 million barrels per day this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExpected strong mobility and air travel in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer driving\/holiday season is anticipated to bolster demand for transportation fuels and drive growth in the United States<\/span>,<\/span><\/i>\u201d the agency said in the report.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robust seasonal demand translates into higher revenues for companies involved in oil exploration, production, refining, and distribution, presenting an opportune time for investors to evaluate their energy sector portfolios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Energy Stock Picks Amid Summer Demand and Tight Supply<\/b><\/p>\n

Shell plc (SHEL)<\/b><\/p>\n

Valued at a market cap of $228.02 billion,<\/span> Shell plc (SHEL)<\/span><\/a> is a prominent energy and petrochemical company. The company operates through Integrated Gas; Upstream; Marketing; Chemicals and Products; and Renewables and Energy Solutions segments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobago Ltd., a subsidiary of SHEL and Shell Trinidad, recently<\/span> took Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Manatee project<\/span><\/a>, an undeveloped gas field in the East Coast Marine Area (ECMA) in Trinidad and Tobago. Manatee will enable Shell to competitively expand its Integrated Gas business by capitalizing on development efforts in the ECMA, one of the country\u2019s most prolific gas-producing regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"This project will help meet the increasing demand for natural gas globally while also addressing the energy needs of our customers domestically in Trinidad and Tobago,\" stated Zo\u00eb Yujnovich, Shell\u2019s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shell aims to expand its LNG business by 20-30% by 2030 compared to 2022. LNG liquefaction volumes are projected to increase by 25-30% relative to 2022, as outlined at the company\u2019s Capital Markets Day in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the<\/span> first quarter<\/span><\/a> that ended March 31, 2024, SHEL reported LNG sales volumes of 16.9 MT in the Integrated Gas segment. Its adjusted earnings increased 5.9% quarter-on-quarter to $7.73 billion, reflecting solid operational performance across its business. Its adjusted earnings per share was $1.20, up 8.1% from the previous quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s adjusted EBITDA was $18.71 billion, up 14.5% from the prior quarter. Its cash flow from operating activities (CFFO) grew 6% sequentially to $13.33 billion. Also, its free cash flow came in at $9.80 billion, an increase of 41.7% from the previous quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the last earnings release, Shell also announced that it commenced a $3.5 billion share buyback program, anticipated to be completed by the second-quarter 2024 results announcement. Over the past four quarters, total shareholder distributions amounted to 41% of CFFO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysts expect SHEL\u2019s revenue and EPS for the second quarter (ended June 2024) to increase 21.1% and 31.2% year-over-year to $90.27 billion and $1.92, respectively. For the third quarter ending September 2024, the company\u2019s revenue and EPS are expected to grow 24.5% and 14.3% year-over-year to $95.06 billion and $2.13, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past six months, shares of SHEL have surged more than 15% and approximately 21% over the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n

BP p.l.c. (BP)<\/b><\/p>\n

With a $100.95 billion market cap,<\/span> BP p.l.c. (BP)<\/span><\/a> engages in the production of natural gas, and integrated gas and power; trading of gas; operation of onshore and offshore wind power, as well as hydrogen and carbon capture and storage facilities; and production of crude oil. It operates through Gas & Low Carbon Energy; Oil Production & Operations; and Customers & Products segments.<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 13, BP\u2019s subsidiary, Archaea Energy, and<\/span> Republic Services, Inc. (RSG)<\/span><\/a> celebrated the first renewable natural gas (RNG) plant<\/span><\/a> in the companies\u2019 Lightning Renewables joint venture (JV). The Archaea Modular Design (AMD) plant at Republic\u2019s National Serv-All Landfill in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is the first of nearly 40 landfill gas-to-RNG projects targeted by the JV and is expected to come online this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lightning Renewables JV portfolio supports Archaea\u2019s goal of increasing production to more than 50 million mmBtu per year by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, in April, BP, as the operator of the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project, announced the start-up of oil production from the new Azeri Central East (ACE) platform. This platform is part of the ACG field development in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea and is the first remotely operated offshore platform in the Caspian.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first quarter that ended March 31, 2024, BP\u2019s reported production from the Oil Production & Operations segment was 1,463 mboe\/d, up 7.6% from the first quarter of 2023. Its upstream production grew 2.1% year-over-year. Its underlying replacement cost (RC) profit was $2.72 billion, or $16.24 per share, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the company\u2019s adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $10.31 billion. Profit for the period attributable to BP shareholders rose significantly quarter-on-quarter to $2.26 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve delivered another resilient quarter financially and continued to make progress on our strategy. Oil production was up and our ACE platform in the Caspian is now producing. We are simplifying and reducing complexity across bp and plan to deliver at least $2 billion of cash cost savings by the end of 2026 through high grading our portfolio, digital transformation, supply chain efficiencies and global capability hubs,\u201d<\/span> said<\/span><\/a> BP\u2019s CEO, Murray Auchincloss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the $1.75 billion share buyback program announced for the first quarter of 2024 was completed on May 3, 2024, part of the company\u2019s $3.5 billion commitment for the first half of 2024. A resilient dividend is BP\u2019s top priority within its disciplined financial frame. For the first quarter, the company announced<\/span> a dividend per ordinary share of 7.27 cents<\/span><\/a> ($0.0727).<\/span><\/p>\n

Street expects BP\u2019s revenue for the second quarter (ending June 2024) to increase 4.4% year-over-year to $50.65 billion. The consensus EPS estimate of $1.07 for the current year indicates an improvement of 19.7% year-over-year. Additionally, BP\u2019s stock has gained marginally over the past six months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phillips 66 (PSX)<\/b><\/p>\n

With a market cap of $56.54 billion,<\/span> Phillips 66 (PSX)<\/span><\/a> is a leading energy manufacturing and logistics company. It operates in four segments: Midstream; Chemicals; Refining; and Marketing and Specialties (M&S).<\/span><\/p>\n

In May, Phillips 66<\/span> agreed to acquire Pinnacle Midland Parent LLC<\/span><\/a> from Energy Spectrum Capital to expand its natural gas gathering and processing footprint in the Midland Basin. Pinnacle\u2019s assets consist of the newly built Dos Picos natural gas gathering and processing system: a 220 MMcf\/d gas processing plant, 80 miles of gathering pipeline, and 50,000 dedicated acres through high-quality producers in one of PSX\u2019s focus basins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pinnacle is a bolt-on asset that enhances PSX\u2019s wellhead-to-market strategy and complements its diverse and integrated asset portfolio. Moreover, this acquisition aligns with its long-term goals of expanding its natural gas liquids value chain, maintaining disciplined capital allocation, and creating sustainable value for its shareholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 3, the Board of Directors of Phillips 66 declared<\/span> a quarterly dividend of $1.15 per share<\/span><\/a>, representing an increase of 10%. The dividend was paid on June 3, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the business close on May 20, 2024. The dividend increase demonstrates the company\u2019s confidence in its growing mid-cycle cash flow generation and disciplined capital allocation strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since its formation in 2012, PSX has consistently raised its dividend, resulting in a CAGR of 16%. Moreover, the company is well-poised to continue delivering substantial shareholder value by executing its strategic priorities, including returning $13-$15 billion to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases from July 2022 to the year-end 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the first quarter that ended March 31, 2024, PSX posted<\/span> revenue of $36.44 billion<\/span><\/a>, exceeding analysts\u2019 expectations of $33.56 billion. Its adjusted earnings were $822 million, or $1.90 per share, respectively. During the quarter, refining operated at 92% crude utilization. As of March 31, 2024, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.60 billion and $3.50 billion of committed capacity under its credit facility.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Phillips 66, through the successful execution of its strategic priorities, remains committed to increasing mid-cycle adjusted EBITDA to $14 billion by 2025 and returning more than 50% of operating cash flow to shareholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shares of PSX have surged around 3% over the past six months and more than 33% over the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valero Energy Corporation (VLO)<\/b><\/p>\n

Valued at a market cap of $47.65 billion,<\/span> Valero Energy Corporation (VLO)<\/span><\/a> manufactures, markets, and sells petroleum-based and low-carbon liquid transportation fuels and petrochemical products internationally. The company operates through Refining; Renewable Diesel; and Ethanol segments.<\/span><\/p>\n

VLO owns 15 petroleum refineries in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, with a total throughput capacity of about 3.2 million barrels per day. Additionally, Valero is a joint venture partner in Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC, which owns two renewable diesel plants in the Gulf Coast region with a combined production capacity of nearly 1.2 billion gallons per year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valero also owns 12 ethanol plants in the Mid-Continent region, with a combined production capacity of around 1.6 billion gallons per year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the<\/span> last earnings report<\/span><\/a>, the company provided a strategic update on the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project at the DGP Port Arthur plant. The project is progressing ahead of schedule and will likely be operational in the fourth quarter of 2024. It is anticipated that this will give the plant the flexibility to upgrade about 50% of its current 470 million gallons annual renewable diesel production capacity to SAF. Once completed, DGD is expected to become one of the world\u2019s largest SAF manufacturers.<\/span><\/p>\n

VLO reported revenues of $31.76 billion for the first quarter that ended March 31, 2024. The company\u2019s net income and earnings per common share were $1.33 billion and $3.75, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.80 billion for the quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the quarter, Valero returned $1.4 billion to stockholders, including $356 million paid as dividends and $1 billion as the purchase of about 6.6 million shares of common stock, resulting in a payout ratio of 74% of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities. The company<\/span> paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.07<\/span><\/a> per share on June 28, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

VLO\u2019s stock has soared over 16% over the past six months and is up approximately 28% over the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
