Chevron Corp. shocked Wall Street in April by announcing a $33 billion buyout of oil and gas production company Anadarko Petroleum. Less than two weeks later, Occidental Petroleum Corp. announced a competing $57 billion buyout bid for Anadarko. When big oil comes calling, the numbers can escalate quickly, which is why it’s always a good idea to research and potentially invest in, smaller oil & gas companies. One oil & gas exploration company to keep an eye on is Camber Energy (CEI). The company is set to close on an acquisition within the next couple weeks. It has already received preliminary non-binding approval from the staff of the NYSE American of the planned terms of its contemplated acquisition of a midstream pipeline integrity services, specialty construction and field services company in an all-stock transaction. CEI has worked very hard recently to improve their standing with the NYSE American, and spent a lot of 2018 cleaning up the company’s balance sheet and improving its efficiency. Their hard work is starting to receive recognition as CEI received a letter from the NYSE American about regaining several of their continued listing standards. Start your research now.
Today we’re highlighting: Camber Energy, Inc. (CEI), Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE), Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (DO), BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (BPT), and Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (PEIX). Camber Energy, Inc. (CEI) (Market Cap: $6.759M; Share Price: $0.3382) turned a nearly $30 million shareholder deficit into $2.3 million of positive shareholders’ equity, increasing liquidity, extinguishing debt and fast tracking the company for regaining NYSE American compliance. Investors are starting to show support to management’s progress and as more investors learn the story, the trend could continue. Oil & Gas investors seeking competent fiscal management and efficient operations should research CEI. The company also announced the execution of a revised non-binding Letter of Intent in connection with the company’s previously announced planned acquisition of a midstream pipeline integrity services, specialty construction and field services company in an all-stock transaction.
Louis G. Schott, the Interim CEO of Camber noted, ”We have revised the Letter of Intent based on discussions with the NYSE American. This positions both parties towards a planned closing in the next four weeks. Our team recently made a successful diligence to meet with the acquisition company’s management.”

(OBE) (Market Cap: $153.75M; Share Price $0.3073) announced in mid-April an operational update on their Cardium drilling program. “We are examining every facet of the business to ensure we are always making improvements, including a continual review of our capital allocation, cost structure, and portfolio composition,” commented Michael Faust, Interim President and CEO.
