Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc (DO) Lowering Estimates on Contracting Challenges for Older Floaters 30 April 2014 ¦ 14 pages ir.citi.com
DO’s 1Q14 earnings of $0.93 were substantially higher than our estimate of $0.38 because two rigs (the Ocean Onyx and the Ocean Alliance) that were scheduled to be out-of-service in 1Q14 had their scheduled downtime shifted to 2Q14. As a result contract drilling expense was much lower than our estimate and the company’s prior guidance. The weak market for older floating rigs was fully evident although the company did secure contracts for the Ocean Quest, the Ocean Monarch, and the Ocean Victory. Robin Shoemaker

Phillips 66 / Phillips 66 Partners Results Largely In-Line; 22% Distribution Increase at PSXP 30 April 2014 ¦ 15 pages ir.citi.com
PSX 1Q’14 EPS of $1.47 was above our $1.32 and $1.37 consensus estimates. Better midstream, marketing and CPChem results along with lower taxes and share count caused the beat. PSXP reported 1Q’14 adj. EBITDA (including adjustments related to minimum volume commitments) of $23.8 mil, which was ~1.7% lower than our estimate of $24.2 mil and ~1.7% lower than consensus of $24.2 mil. However, the 22% increase in distribution was above our estimate. Faisel Khan, CFA | Mohit Bhardwaj

Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) LNG, US Gas & Better Downstream Underpin a Surprise 1Q 1 May 2014 ¦ 10 pages ir.citi.com
Our sector-wide thesis for Big Oil in 1Q is of stabilizing/improving trends around earnings and returns and we would argue that results to date have lived up to that expectation. RD Shell did better. 1Q earnings were 45% above our and consensus forecasts, with much of the delta we think explained through seasonally strong LNG trading and good Gulf Coast refining conditions. The quarter does suggest that our forecasts for Downstream have been too low; both from an operational and earnings (impairment = lower depreciation) perspective. Revising that view sees us raise our 2014E EPS by 12%, our 2015-18E EPS by an average of 5% and our DCF valuation (and price target) from 2250p to 2350p (A/B shares).

Statoil (STL.OL) Stronger 1Q14 Increases Confidence in Delivery of Key Targets 1 May 2014 ¦ 18 pages ir.citi.com
Statoil’s strong 1Q14 results increase confidence on the delivery of the key targets outlined at Statoil’s recent Capital Markets Day. 1Q14 results highlighted strong performance from International E&P and MPR and solid progress with Statoil’s key operated NCS developments (Gudrun started up in 2Q14 while Valemon on track for 4Q14). However, we think Statoil’s valuation now looks to better reflect the improved outlook. We have updated our forecasts following Statoil’s 1Q14 results, increasing our 2014 earnings by c.10%, driven primarily by the strong 1Q14 numbers. We have also increased our 2015-20 estimates by 4- 7% to reflect our expectation of lower group taxation (<70%) due to the increased contribution of international E&P and MPR. We increase our DCF-based price target to NOK180 (from NOK160) to reflect our higher earnings forecasts and improved confidence in the delivery of capital efficiency targets over this period. We retain our Neutral rating. Michael J Alsford | Alastair R Syme
Subsea 7 (SUBC.OL) Accelerating Activity, Rising Payout 1 May 2014 ¦ 12 pages ir.citi.com
Subsea 7’s cheap valuation - 5.2x 2014e EV/EBITDA, a 25% discount to the sector – reflects concerns over further write-downs on Guara-Lula, prospects for 2014/15 order intake, and margin embedded in the current backlog. We expect the coming six months to largely assuage all three: Guara-Lula should continue to de-risk (already >70% complete), YoY backlog growth seems likely, and we expect material improvement in North Sea and AfGoM margins in 2Q/3Q. In short, the prospects for re-rating appear favourable and we maintain our Buy rating. We have made minor earnings changes post results.

Total (TOTF.PA) 1Q14 Supports Valuation Running-Room; Upgrade TP To €57 30 April 2014 ¦ 15 pages ir.citi.com
Total’s message of profitable growth and a strong pipeline has struck a chord with the market – YTD returns +12% versus market and +9% versus the sector. 1Q14 is not standout, but does show a picture of improving free cash flow and we think good project execution. We are raising our expectations on delivery of the portfolio to 2018 (which we were previously discounting). We raise our 2017E+ EPS by 3% and our DCF-based price target from €50 to €57/share. We maintain a Buy.

US EIA Petroleum Statistics Inland crude glut continues to creep into the Gulf Coast 30 April 2014 ¦ 27 pages ir.citi.com
US crude stocks continued to rise even with elevated refinery runs and lower imports. Cushing stocks fell 0.6-m bbls and could accelerate to a 2-m bbl draw next week, as pipelines stepped up capacity. A lot of things need to come together to draw down PADD III crude stocks, which rose 5.7-m bbls w/w to 215- m bbls. Crude export outlets would be the most helpful; the pace of export license approvals has been impressive, but can these step up?
