Anadarko Petroleum Corp (APC) Q1’14 Beats; Raising 2014 Production & Capex Guidance; Upgrading to Buy with $115 Price Target (up from $112) 6 May 2014 ¦ 12 pages ir.citi.com
Anadarko reported recurring Q1’14 EPS/CFPS of $1.26/$5.00 versus our $1.19/$4.23 estimates and Street consensus of $1.15/$4. Based on actual Q1 results, updated 2014 cost guidance, and the new production/capex guidance, we are adjusting full-year EPS/CFPS estimates, increasing our price target to $115 (from $112), which still equates to a 2015 ‘normalized’ EV multiple of ~6.9x and also 93% of our sum-of-the-parts NAV, and upgrading APC to Buy.

Dresser-Rand Group (DRC) EPS Beat Expectations in 1Q14, Raising Price Target 4 May 2014 ¦ 14 pages ir.citi.com
It wasn’t a great quarter but DRC beat lowered expectations and the company affirmed its full year guidance with respect to bookings, revenue, and operating income. Our 2014 EPS estimate of $2.67 is within the company’s guidance range of $2.60 to $2.80. It is hard to get a read on the full year from the seasonally weak first quarter results, but the company seems confident that an upturn in new unit orders will begin as soon as the current (second) quarter.
EOG Resources Inc (EOG) Q1’14 Beat; Four New Resource Plays In The Mix; Reiterate Buy 6 May 2014 ¦ 12 pages ir.citi.com
EOG reported recurring Q1’14 EPS/CFPS of $1.40 /$3.94 versus our $1.18/$3.63 estimates and Street consensus of $1.19/$3.56. The beat was driven by higher-than-projected U.S. oil, NGL and natural gas production, all of which were above the high-end of guidance as were Trinidad natural gas volumes, along with lower-than-forecast G&A which was below the low-end of guidance. TP up by $10, to $115. Robert S Morris

Linn Energy, LLC & LinnCo LLC No Surprises in 1Q14; All Eyes Now on Permian Assets 5 May 2014 ¦ 14 pages ir.citi.com
Linn reported 1Q14 distributable cash flow per unit of $0.72, essentially in line with our forecast of $0.71 for the quarter. Based on a distribution of $0.725 paid in the quarter, the coverage ratio in 1Q was 0.99x and the cash shortfall was $3.0 mil. Adjusted EBITDA in 1Q14 of $564 mil was 1% higher than our estimate of $559 mil due to higher than expected production volumes and lower than forecast production taxes. Faisel Khan, CFA
Origin Energy Ltd (ORG.AX) Initiate with a Buy – Gas Business Upside, APLNG to be OK 6 May 2014 ¦ 36 pages ir.citi.com
We initiate coverage on Origin Energy with a Buy rating and A$16.79/shr target price. We are positive on APLNG execution, expecting delivery on schedule and on budget with first sales production in 2Q CY15. While we only expect a small increase in electricity margins going forward, given ORG’s strong supply portfolio coupled with oil-linked sales contracts from CY15, we forecast Energy Markets Gas business adding >A$300m EBIT from FY13 to FY17. Our FY14 EPS forecasts are 9% below consensus, due to lower E&P production and exploration expense, but we expect the market to focus on FY16 earnings post APLNG-start up.

Superior Energy Services Inc. (SPN) Strong Improvement in the Near-Term Outlook 5 May 2014 ¦ 18 pages ir.citi.com
We believe that SPN has come through the North America drilling downturn in excellent shape and that it is well positioned to capture market share and to take advantage of an improving outlook for oilfield service pricing. Following a series of cost-cutting steps in 2013, SPN is poised for a quick and sustained return to earnings growth thanks to a tailwind from the markets in 2014. We believe that as free cash flow builds the company will pursue more aggressively the cash dividend and share repurchase policies it has already put in place. Robin Shoemaker
