Abraxas and Blue Stone Jointly Announce $100 Million Eagle Ford Shale Joint Venture
Business Wire - Wed Aug 18, 06:34 PM EDT
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ: AXAS) today announced that the Company signed a joint venture agreement with Blue Stone Oil & Gas, LLC (“Blue Stone”) to develop the Eagle Ford Shale play in South Texas.
Abraxas will contribute 8,333 net acres in the Eagle Ford Shale play to Blue Eagle Energy, LLC (the “JV”) and receive a $25 million equity interest in the JV and Blue Stone will initially contribute $25 million in cash to the JV for a $25 million equity interest in the JV. In addition, Blue Stone has committed an additional $50 million in cash to the JV, which combined with the initial $25 million, will be used to acquire additional acreage and 3-D seismic data, and to drill and complete wells targeting the Eagle Ford Shale formation. Upon full funding, Abraxas will own a 25% equity interest in the JV and Blue Stone will own a 75% equity interest in the JV.
The JV’s subject area will encompass 12 counties across the Eagle Ford Shale play for expected future acreage acquisitions. Abraxas will operate the wells in the JV and Blue Stone will manage the day-to-day business affairs of the JV.
“We are very excited about partnering with Blue Stone as the joint venture will greatly accelerate our activity in the Eagle Ford Shale play, well above what we could have accomplished on our own. We are pleased that Blue Stone shares our confidence in the development potential of our acreage position which is located in all three hydrocarbon windows of the play. In addition to acquiring additional acreage and 3-D seismic data, we anticipate that the committed capital will allow the JV to drill and complete approximately 10 wells,” commented Bob Watson, Abraxas’ President and CEO.
Kyle R. Miller, Blue Stone’s President, further commented, “We are delighted to partner with an experienced South Texas operator with a core acreage position in the Eagle Ford Shale play and look forward to expanding our position and developing the play.”
Rivington Capital Advisors, LLC, and its affiliate, Rivington Securities, LLC, acted as exclusive financial advisor to Blue Stone.

abracadabra
Abraxas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A term used by the Basilideans, a Gnostic sect of the second century, designating the Supreme Being or god whom they worshipped. They believed that Jesus Christ emanated from Abraxas and was a phantom while here on earth. They believed the name contained great mysteries because it contained the seven Greek letters when computed numerically equaled the number 365, which is the number of days in the year. It was further believed that Abraxas commanded 365 gods, each possessing a virtue, so there was a virtue for each day of the year.
However, older mythologists place Abraxas among the Egyptian gods, while some demonologists cite him to be a demon with the head of a king and serpents forming his feet. He has been represented on amulets with a whip in his hand. The mystic word abracadabra was derived from his name. Many stones and gems were cut with his capricious symbolic markings, such as a human body having a fowl's or lion's heads, and snakes as limbs, which were worn by the Basilideans as amulets. Also, a favorite amulet bore the number 365.
Later Gnostic symbols were adopted by many societies devoted to magic and alchemy. It is most likely, therefore, that most abraxas stones that contained kabbalistic symbols made in the Middle Ages were talismans. A.G.H.

5 Oil Stocks Set to Make a Comeback
Some could see an upside of up to 31%
August 19, 2010 | By InvestorPlace Staff
Oil Stocks With Big-Time Upside
It was the summer of American discontent with the oil industry in the wake of the BP plc (NYSE: BP) Gulf spill. But now that the well is capped — and President Obama himself has taken a dip in the Gulf waters — investors are hoping that as the summer cools off, oil stock prices start to heat up.
Of course, it’s still tough going for some oil stocks. Economic growth questions overseas coupled with worries over domestic crude oil demand have investors on alert. On the Nymex, the September delivery contract for crude has headed south to $75.20 a barrel in a season that usually sees surging oil prices. Other analysts also say technical factors point to a further pulldown in prices.
But not all oil stocks are suffering. A closer look at some major energy industry picks shows that the popular opinion favors an upside of up to +31% in some of the biggest names in crude.
Here are five oil stocks to watch.
#1 – BP Plc (BP)
Median Target: $45.00
Current Price: $36.24
Projected Upside: 24%
Data as of market close 8/19
Though much maligned after the recent oil spill, BP plc (NYSE: BP) has bottomed out according to most estimates. Of the seven analysts placing targets on BP stock, the lowest projected price is $40 per share according to Thomson/First Call. Of course, with open liability ahead, the oil company could see some downward revisions to price targets, and shares could slide some more after giving up -37% year-to-date. But with over a century of oil and gas exploration under its belt and operations around the world, there is also a very good chance BP could be on the way up. BP stock has already bounced back over +20% since July.
#2 – Chevron (CVX)
Median Price Target: $92.50
Current Price: $75.84
Projected Upside: 22%
Data as of market close 8/19
On Monday, Chevron (NYSE: CVX) announced a “significant” offshore natural gas discovery in Western Australia, which gave the stock a much-needed boost and truly couldn’t have come at a better time. The company boasts a diverse internal portfolio, engaging in every aspect of the oil, gas and geothermal energy industries: exploration and production, refining, marketing and transport, chemicals manufacturing, power generation and more — but its natural gas exploration may offer summer salvation. The last three years have seen profits fall steadily. And although it had a summer slump as well, its +10% increase since July could herald better times ahead for the stock if conditions improve.
#3 – Conoco Phillips (COP)
Median Price Target: $64.00
Current Price: $54.71
Projected Upside: 17%
Data as of market close 8/19
An international energy corporation that’s expanding heavily into refining and natural gas, Conoco Phillips (NYSE: COP) is something of a curiosity of late. Share prices have suffered recently in August, but at +7.0% year-to-date against the Dow and S&P 500, it remains well above its competition in 2010. Shares of ConocoPhillips mostly have been in pullback mode for the month so far, and that provides investors a great opportunity to buy in at a bargain, if the consensus target of $64 for COP stock holds accurate.
#4 – Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM)
Median Price Target: $77.50
Current Price: $59.29
Projected Upside: 31%
Data as of market close 8/19
With the Gulf spill touching off memories of its own Alaskan misadventures, Exxon suffered a rough summer even without spilling anything. Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE: XOM) saw its stock drop heavily since May, and it hasn’t quite been able to rebound to date. Its lowest analyst target, according to Thomson/First Call, rests at $48, well under its current price. As one of the largest publically traded companies in the world, Exxon shouldn’t stay down for long, even at -13% year-to-date against the Dow and S&P 500. Its daily oil production tops every other oil company, and the world needs oil. Most analysts agree it’s a stock to hold on to, with a hefty 31% upside projected for XOM stock.
#5 – Total (TOT)
Median Price Target: $63.00
Current Price: $48.81
Projected Upside: 29%
Data as of market close 8/19
A French oil company with businesses covering the entire oil and gas chain — from crude oil and natural gas exploration and production to power generation, transportation, refining, petroleum product marketing and international crude oil and product trading — Total (NYSE: TOT) is one stock that’s offering purchase potential at the bottom. Down -23% against the Dow and S&P 500, it’s been having trouble moving out of its current drop year-to-date in the wake of euro zone trouble. Several analysts, such as Citigroup, are encouraging a “Buy,” and of seven Thomson/First Call analysts that noted its price target, even the lowest is at $56.50, which is well ahead of the price of this France-based oil stock.

6 Expiration Day Traps to Avoid
Take the following steps to avoid any unpleasant surprises on expiration day
August 17, 2010 | By Mark Wolfinger
Don’t Fall Victim to These Mistakes
Options expiration. When you sell options, it’s an anticipated event. When you own options, it’s something to dread. At least that’s how most people view expiration day.
If you trade options, there are things you must know, and steps you should take, to avoid any unpleasant surprises on the third Friday of each month. (True expiration is the following morning, but for our purposes here, that is just a technicality.)
I’m going to provide you with some pointers for handling options expiration day. Keep reading to make sure you don’t get caught in any of these expiration traps.
#1 Avoid a Margin Call Following Expiration
New traders, especially those with small accounts, like the idea of buying options. The problem is that they often don’t understand the rules of the game, and "forget" to sell those options prior to expiration.
If a trader owns five July 40 calls, makes no effort to sell them, and decides to allow the options to expire worthless, that’s fine. However, if the investor is not paying attention and the stock closes at $40.02 on expiration Friday, that trader is going to own 500 shares of stock. The options are automatically exercised (unless you specifically tell your broker not to exercise) whenever the option is in the money by one penny or more when the market closes on that third Friday.
On Monday morning, along with those shares comes the margin call. Those small account holders did not know they were going to be buying stock, don’t have enough cash to pay for the shares — even with 50% margin — and are forced to sell them. So please don’t forget to sell your long options.
#2 Don’t Exercise
If you own any options, don’t even consider exercising. You may not have the margin call problem just described, but did you buy options to make a profit if the stock moved higher? Or did you buy call options so that you could own stock at a later date? Unless you are adopting a stock and option strategy (such as writing covered calls), when you buy options, it’s generally most efficient to avoid stock ownership.
If you really want to own stock when buying options, you must plan in advance, or you will be throwing money in the trash. For most individual investors, especially inexperienced ones, buying options is not the best way to attain ownership of the shares.
If the stock prices moves higher by enough to offset the premium you paid to own the option, you have a profit. But, regardless of whether your investment has paid off, it seldom pays for anyone to buy options with the intention of owning shares at a later date. There are exceptions, but in general, DO NOT exercise options. Sell those options when you no longer want to own them. It does not matter if you have earned a profit or taken a loss, when you no longer want to own the options, sell them.
#3 Do Not Fear an Assignment Notice
If you are assigned an exercise notice on an option you sold, that is nothing to fear, assuming you are prepared. By that I mean, as long as the assignment does not result in a margin call.
When you sell an option, you must understand the option owner has the right to exercise that option at any time prior to expiration. When that happens, it should be neither a total surprise nor a problem. When you write a covered call, being assigned guarantees the maximum profit for the trade. Surely that’s good, and not bad.
If you sell options with no position in the stock, be certain you can meet any margin calls if you are assigned an exercise notice. Your broker can supply the answer if you cannot figure it out for yourself.
But don’t be afraid of this scenario. Being assigned prior to expiration is usually beneficial from a risk-reduction perspective.
#4 European Options are Different
Most options are American-style options and all the rules you already know apply to them. However, some options are European style (no, they do not trade only in Europe), and it’s very important to know the differences if you trade these options.
Most index options are European style: options on the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Russell 2000, but not on the S&P 100 Index. (Note: These are index options and not ETF options. Thus, the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY), PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQQ) and iShares Russell 2000 Index (NYSE: IWM) are all American-style options.)
Here are the three main differences:
1. European options cease trading when the market closes Thursday, one day prior to "regular" options expiration day.
2. The settlement price is NOT a real world price. The final "settlement" price — the price that determines which options are in the money, and by how much — is calculated by using trade data from early in the trading day on Friday. However, the number is not made available until much later.Thus, when you observe an index price early Friday morning, do not believe that the settlement price will be anywhere near that price. So be careful. Often this settlement price is significantly higher or lower than traders suspect it will be — and that results in cries of anguish from anyone still holding positions. It’s safest to exit positions in Europeans options no later than Thursday afternoon.
3. European options settle in cash. That means no shares exchange hands. If you are short an option whose settlement price is in the money, the cash value of that option is removed from your account. If you own such options, the cash value is transferred to your account. It’s equivalent to buying or selling the option at its intrinsic value. Once again, that value is unrelated to Thursday night’s closing price.
Learn more about European options.
#5 Don’t Hold a Position to the Bitter End
It’s not easy to let go when you bought options. You paid a decent premium for those options and now they may have declined down to half that price. That’s not the point. You bought those options for a reason. The only question to answer is this: Does that reason still apply? Do you still anticipate the stock move you had hoped would happen?
If there is no good reason to hold, cut your losses and sell out those options before they fade to zero.
Is the shoe on the other foot? Did you sell that option, or spreads, at a good price and then see the premium erode and your account balance rise? Is that short position priced near zero? What are you waiting for? Is there enough remaining reward to hold onto the position, and with it, the risk? Let some other hero have those last couple of nickels.
Don’t take big risk unless there’s a big reward. It’s not a good plan to hold those options until expiration, especially when it’s weeks away.
#6 Negative Gamma is Not Your Friend
When you are short options, you are short gamma, and most of the time that’s not a problem. You were paid a nice price for the options and are watching those options evaporate at a decent rate. But this is not free money. There is risk that the stock may make a move large enough so that it threatens to move into the money.
When you are short options, they come with negative gamma, and it’s the big, bad enemy. When the reward is small, respect this guy and get outta town. Cover those gamma shorts, take you good-sized profit, and don’t bother with the crumbs. Let the gamblers have those.
