Natural-gas prices may be weak in North America now because of a supply glut, but major global energy companies are taking advantage of the situation by scooping up the rights to this clean-burning energy in America's oil patch.
CNOOC (CEO, news), China's largest offshore energy producer, just agreed to pay $570 million for a stake in a project to extract natural gas from shale owned by Chesapeake Energy (CHK, news). Last June, Exxon Mobil (XOM, news)bought XTO Energy for $25 billion.
These energy giants are shopping for more than just the energy, says energy-sector expert Robert Robotti, of Robotti & Company Advisors. They're also looking for expertise in extracting natural gas from shale so they can apply it elsewhere in the world. "Energy companies want to export that technological knowledge," he says.
Petrohawk just announced a 23% increase in reserves in natural-gas rich structures such as the Haynesville Shale and Eagle Ford Shale in Louisiana and Texas, making it a more attractive takeover target. A takeover seems natural here, since Petrohawk was created as a "build-to-sell company," according to Morningstar. Recent insider purchases suggest a buyout may be on the horizon. Since last summer, insiders have purchased more than $220,000 worth of stock.
