Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), Petrohawk Energy Corp. (NYSE:HK), Brigham Exploration (NASDAQ:BEXP), Baker Hughes Incorporated (NYSE:BHI) and Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) ended the session up Thursday, going against the tide of oil futures dropping after rising over $101 a barrel on Wednesday.
The economy of Barack Obama continues to fall apart as first-time unemployment claims soared by another 10,000, exploding past the projected decline of 4,000 economists had been loking for. That's a seasonally adjusted 424,000 for the week ended May 21.
The U.S. economy growth rate was also below expectations, increasing at a very anemic 1.8 percent rate in the first quarter, plunging from the 3.1 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter, and missing the 2.2 percent growth rate economists had estimated.
The U.S. Labor Department also upwardly revised initial unemployment claims from the last report they issued.
This all had an impact on oil prices, as oil futures ended lower on the day. Light, sweet crude for July delivery settled down $1.09, or 1.1 percent, to $100.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange settled up 12 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $115.05 a barrel.
Front-month June reformulated gasoline blendstock, settled up 3.21 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $3.0483 a gallon. June heating oil was up 0.26 cent, or 0.1 percent, to $2.9829 a gallon.
With the Memorial Day weekend coming in the U.S., which usually involves significant travel and gasoline used in vehicles, it probably went against the slightly lower price of oil and gas heading into the summer season.
Valero Energy closed Thursday at $26.42, gaining $0.16, or 0.61 percent. Baker Hughes Incorporated ended the day at $74.50, jumping $0.72, or 0.98 percent. Brigham Exploration closed at $30.77, climbing $0.40, or 1.32 percent. Petrohawk Energy Corp. ended the session at $25.76, up $0.16, or 0.62 percent. Schlumberger closed the day at $85.19, rising $1.10, or 1.31 percent.

Petrobras (PBR) (APC) (RIG) (RDS-A) (CAM) Jump While Oil Futures Pull Back
Petrobras (NYSE:PBR), Anadarko (NYSE:APC), Transocean (NYSE:RIG), Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A) and Cameron International (NYSE:CAM) all closed up Thursday, bucking the trend of oil futures pulling back after climbing over $101 a barrel on Wednesday.
Obama's economy continues to crumble as first-time unemployment claims surged by close to 10,000, exploding past the anticipated decline of 4,000 economists had been expecting. That is a seasonally adjusted 424,000 for the week ended May 21.
The U.S. economy growth rate was also worst than expected, growing at a very weak 1.8 percent rate in the first quarter, falling from the 3.1 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter, and missing the 2.2 percent growth rate economists had projected.
The U.S. Labor Department also upwardly revised initial unemployment claims from the last report they issued.

With the Memorial Day weekend coming in the U.S., which usually involves heavy travel and usage of gasoline in vehicles, it probably counteracted the slightly lower price of oil and gas heading into the summer season.
Petrobras closed Thursday at $34.15, gaining $0.50, or 1.49 percent. Cameron International closed at $48.33, up $0.56, or 1.17 percent.

Chevron's (CVX) Downstream Business Unimpressive
The fact that Chevron (NYSE:CVX) had its "Buy" rating from Jefferies (NYSE:JEF) reiterated on them today isn't because of its downstream refinery business, as margins are anemic in comparison to its upstream oil and natural gas production business.
That's not to say there isn't substantial revenue in the refined products business of Chevron, as the company could have sold as much as $100 billion in refined products in 2010, although it doesn't release those figures.
Among refinded products sold are gasoline, jet fuel, gas oil and kerosene, among other products.
Estimates are refined products make up about 8 percent of the overall stock value of Chevron, mostly because of the low margin business it is. Margins have been at about 2.33 percent in the refined business for the energy giant for 2010.
In contrast, the oil and natural gas production generates margins of 53 percent.
The leading refined product sold by far was gasoline, which accounted for close to $39 billion in revenue in the segment.
Among Chevron's major competitors are BP (NYSE:BP), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP).
Chevron was trading at $103.57, up $0.32, or 0.31 percent, as of 2:05 PM EDT.

Cabot (COG) Jumps on Marcellus Gas Production
Cabot Oil and Gas Corp. (NYSE:COG) was the top performer in the S&P 500 Wednesday, closing up over 7 percent on reports of strong natural gas production at its Marcellus shale projects.
The company said it generated over 400 million cubic feet per day of natural gas production from the fields after it upgraded a compressor station. Before that production came in at 310 million cubic feet a day.
Also helping the company, as well as most of the energy sector, was the boost in oil prices, as light sweet crude oil for July delivery climbed $1.73 to settle at $101.32 a barrel and July Brent crude was up $2.40 to settle at $114.93.
The U.S. Department of Energy also released a report saying U.S. commercial crude inventories rose 600,000 barrels in the week ended May 20, significantly beating the 1.3 million barrel fall in crude stocks projected.
Cabot closed Wednesday at $57.25, gaining $3.78, or 7.07 percent.

Light sweet crude oil for July delivery was up $1.73 to settle at $101.32 a barrel and July Brent crude jumped $2.40 to settle at $114.93.

Iamgold Corp (IAG) Will Take Risks to Grow
With the gold miner building up a strong cash position, Iamgold Corp (NYSE:IAG) is ready to engage in some risk to build out the company, which has a market cap just under $8 billion.
Its cash holdings are approaching the $1.5 billion mark and are expected to surpass it in the near future.
Chief Executive Officer Stephen Letwin recently said to Reuters, "I find that the mining side is not as integrated as I would like it to be. The exploration team and the production community tend to be too silo-like in structure... One thing I'm going to work on is making it more fluid, so that we work more in unison and bring production onstream sooner."
The goal of Letwin is to boost production to about a million ounces of gold in 2011 and 1.8 million ounces within five years.
Letwin says the company will eventually spin off its niobium mine in Quebec.
Future acquisitions will probably be located in South America or Canada, and Letwin said they would be in the range of $300 million to $500 million.
Iamgold was trading at $20.88, gaining $0.28, or 1.36 percent, as of 1:21 PM EDT.

Quicksilver Resources (KWK) Gets Rating Boost from MLV Capital
Analysts at McNicoll Lewis & Vlak Capital raised their rating on Quicksilver Resources Inc (NYSE: KWK) from a "Hold" to a "Buy," with a price target of $17.50 on the company.
"We recently met with management of Quicksilver Resources, and feel confident that 2011 is a year of transition for the Company. As we review our RNAV, we believe KWK shares are getting zero value for its potentially game changer frontier projects. With its take-private efforts now concluded, management is newly focused on getting recognition for the value not recognized in the share price," said MLV.
Much of Quicksilver's outlook is connected to production at its projects in Barnett Shale, located in Texas, where the company recently reported it produced 318.6 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalents per day from its Barnett Shale assets in the first quarter of the year.
Overall in the first quarter of 2011 it produced 392.3 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalents per day from all its properties.
Quicksilver was trading at $14.25, up $0.27, or 1.93 percent, as of 1:11 PM EDT.

Other miners in the country recently said wage increases above the inflation level aren't sustainable.
Platinum producer Impala Platinum (IMPJ.J) was also singled out as a company the union is attempting to extract a 14 percent increase in wages from.

Monsanto (MON) Closer To Releasing Drought-Resistant Corn Seed
Seeking to go beyond saving farmers cost on pesticide inputs and controlling of weeds, Monsanto (NYSE:MON) is getting closer to releasing a corn seed which will make the crop more resistant to drought, which would no doubt be a big image-booster for the GMO industry.
The problem for Monsanto in this area has been to have the weather cooperate enough to engage in field tests which can confirm the value of the seed.
The target year to release the new seed is 2012, but since 2008 an ongoing number of wet summers has kept the company from successfully and convincingly showing its assertions are accurate about the corn seed.
How it works is the corn has a bacterium gene in it that allows the plant to survive during its flowering time on less water.
So far tests have been inconclusive. Some results have shown no improvement over current corn seed hybrids, while others have shown yields of 35 percent and higher over their hybrid counterparts, according to the USDA.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding the project which Monsanto has provided the genetic material for use in the testing.
Assuming it is proven successful, poor African farmers are expected to be provided with seed free of royalties.
Monsanto closed Friday at $66.33, dropping $0.26, or 0.39 percent.

BP's (BP) Mitsui (MITSY) Deal Clarifies Gulf Liability
Uncertainty as to the liability that BP's (NYSE:BP) partners in the Gulf of Mexico Macondo well became clearer for Anadarko (NYSE:APC) after a deal was struck between BP and Mitsui (OTC:MITSY) to pay $1.1 billion to BP for cleanup costs in the Gulf.
Mitsui owns a 10 percent stake in the well and Anadarko a 25 percent stake.
By extension, it would imply a $2.66 billion cleanup settlement for Anadarko, less than had been anticipated, pushing up the share price of the company.
Billions more will be worked out in a settlement between BP and its two partners concernings fines, and Mitsui and Anadarko appear ready to do their part and put the issue behind them.
Anadarko was trading at $75.18, gaining $3.54, or 4.94 percent, as of 11:55 AM EDT. Mitsui was trading at $334.86, up $2.24, or 0.67 percent. BP was at $44.83, rising $0.94, or 2.14 percent.
