So, as far as this concerns Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE: WMB), the company is worth $16.5 billion. At $28.05, its 52-week range is $20.20 to $33.47. Williams has an exploration and production outfit like El Paso and it also has midstream assets and gas pipelines, although the company’s site notes that its MLP of by Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) owns and operates most of the company’s interstate gas pipeline assets. Williams owns approximately 75 percent of Williams Partners, including the controlling general partner interest. Its pipelines deliver approximately 14% of the natural gas consumed in the United States.
Worth a buy? Ya'think??
$WMB September 7, 2011 - 3 Companies that Look Appealing Based on Earnings / Filed under: Equities Editor's Desk,Stocks — Brittney Barrett @ 9:55 am
In a volatile marker, a company’s earnings can be a better indicator of its value and potential to succeed than it current share price. This is often the reason why earnings can rise and fall radically in advance of and in the days following an earnings report. A well-timed investment around the time a report is released can help investors snap up a stock that appears primed for continued growth and demand, before the share price matches or exceeds growth potential. Below are three companies that are either about to release earnings or have recently posted them that look well positioned to make gains in the remainder of the year.

Williams announced Monday that it has signed an agreement to acquire a major acreage position in North Dakota's Bakken oil play that will, upon completion, diversify the company's exploration and production interests into light, sweet crude oil production.
By 2013, approximately 25 percent of the company's E&P revenue streams are expected to be generated by oil production, up from 7 percent in 2010.
In the sale, Williams has agreed to purchase approximately 85,800 net acres from private owners for $925 million. The acreage is located entirely on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, located in the Williston Basin of North Dakota.
The company estimates that these properties represent approximately 185 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) in total net reserves potential in the Middle Bakken and the Upper Three Forks formations.
The sale has an effective date of Oct. 1 and is expected to close by year end, subject to standard closing conditions. The assets in the proposed transaction also include 3,300 barrels per day of net oil production from 24 existing wells.
"This acquisition establishes a significant acreage position in an area which further diversifies, and when combined with our recently acquired Marcellus position, basically transforms our business — both geographically and in terms of our product mix," said Ralph Hill, president of Williams' exploration and production business. "It enables us to deploy available capital and existing technical expertise to a very attractive new opportunity."
Williams' entry into the Bakken Shale play follows its entry into Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale, where the company has accumulated approximately 100,000 net acres over the past year and a half.
"This latest acquisition gives us a significant position in the best geologic portion of the strongest onshore oil play in the United States, based on our geologic and engineering analysis," Hill said. "The pay thickness, high porosity and amount of hydrocarbon saturation are highly attractive. We are now positioned in three of the country's most attractive growth areas — the Piceance, the Marcellus, and now the Bakken."
In addition to the purchase price, Williams expects to invest additional funds for drilling and development costs totaling approximately $60 million in 2010 and $200 million to $300 million in 2011. The company expects to fund the acquisition and 2010 capital expenditures with cash on hand, including proceeds from the Piceance asset drop down to WPZ. The funding for 2011 will be provided by expected increases in operating cash flows and expected cash on hand.
Currently, there are three rigs operating on these properties. Williams expects to double the current level of drilling activity to six rigs by 2012 and expects the new leases to be producing more than 20,000 barrels per day by the end of 2012.
Steve Malcolm, Williams' chairman, president and chief executive officer, said the company's experience in developing other horizontal shale plays is readily transferable to the Williston Basin.
"Development of the Bakken will be very similar to the low-risk, repeatable nature of the Barnett and Marcellus shales, as well as the tight sands in the Piceance Basin," Malcolm said. "Technological advancements in just the past few years have allowed the play to shift from exploration to resource development.
"We're excited about what this transaction means to the future of our drilling portfolio, as well as the opportunities before us to build new relationships in North Dakota and with the Three Affiliated Tribes — the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara — who call the area around these properties home," Malcolm added.
This proposed transaction was not included in the 2010-12 capital expenditure or other guidance provided on Oct. 28. The company will update its guidance when it reports year-end 2010 financial results.
Williams is an integrated natural gas company focused on exploration and production, midstream gathering and processing, and interstate natural gas transportation primarily in the Rocky Mountains, Gulf Coast, Pacific Northwest, Eastern Seaboard and the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. Most of the company's interstate gas pipeline and midstream assets are held through its 77-percent ownership interest (including the general-partner interest) in Williams Partners L.P.
First it was Hess (NYSE: HES) backing up the truck with its proposed purchase of American Oil & Gas (AMEX: AEZ). Next came Enerplus Resources Fund (NYSE: ERF) padding its position in the play. Now Williams (NYSE: WMB) is joining the Bakken buyers' brigade.
On Monday, the integrated natural gas company announced that it's picking up more than 85,000 acres of core Bakken acreage for $925 million. The purchase is twice as large as the one Enerplus closed last month, and is located in the same Fort Berthold area in North Dakota. This lies to the south and west of the EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG)-dominated Parshall field, whose discovery broke the play wide open several years ago.
At more than $10,000 per acre, this acquisition provides another clear data point for valuing North Dakota Bakken operators. Williams picked up its acreage from private sellers, but there are plenty of publicly traded E&Ps with leasehold in the million-acre Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, which spans counties including Dunn, McKenzie, and Mountrail.

Williams and TransCanada Propose New Natural Gas Pipeline for Western U.S.
TULSA, Okla., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Williams (NYSE: WMB) and TransCanada Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) are evaluating the joint development of Sunstone Pipeline, a major new natural gas transmission pipeline that would offer producers and end-users a cost-effective way to move natural gas supply from the Rockies to markets in the western United States.
The proposed Sunstone Pipeline is a 618-mile, 42-inch-diameter pipeline with capacity of up to 1.2 billion cubic feet per day. The project, which is proposed for service in 2011, would involve constructing a new pipeline substantially parallel to the existing Williams Northwest Pipeline system between the Opal Hub in Wyoming and Stanfield, Ore. Williams' Northwest system interconnects at Stanfield with TransCanada's Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) pipeline system.
The project provides the option to deliver gas to markets served by the Northwest and GTN pipeline systems. Sunstone's open season will commence March 17 and run through April 30, 2008. GTN will hold an additional open season to offer existing capacity available on its pipeline system between Stanfield and GTN's terminus near Malin, Ore., near California's northern border.
Sunstone offers significant benefits for natural gas producers and consumers:
-- Broad access to markets throughout the Pacific Northwest, northern
Nevada and northern California;
-- Enhanced supply diversity for western markets through increased access
to Rocky Mountain supplies;
-- Construction of fewer miles of pipeline along existing utility
corridors, including segments of Northwest's existing pipeline system;
-- Favorable rates due to efficiencies from existing infrastructure and
operations along the route;
-- Both companies have knowledge of the environment and established
relationships with neighboring stakeholders, and Williams has recent
construction experience along the pipeline corridor.
"The proposed Sunstone Pipeline project is designed to ensure that our customers have access to abundant and diverse natural gas supplies in the region," said Phil Wright, president of Williams' gas pipeline business. "We have been reliably delivering natural gas to the Pacific Northwest for more than 50 years and have established long-standing relationships with the communities along our pipeline corridor."
"Sunstone offers customers in the West excellent access to markets and supply," said Hal Kvisle, president and chief executive officer of TransCanada. "Sunstone and GTN provide efficient, continued access to Western Canada Sedimentary Basin gas supply in addition to new access to growing Rocky Mountain production. The combination of new and existing infrastructure provides benefits to markets across California, Nevada and the Pacific Northwest."
"Natural gas is a key resource for the future of our region," said Kimberly Harris, executive vice president and chief resource officer for Puget Sound Energy. "Our customers would benefit from enhanced access to diverse supplies of natural gas that could be provided by projects like the Sunstone Pipeline."
