The Last Oil Stock You'll Own

Throughout the brutal downturn for oil prices that began in the summer of 2014, there has been one U.S. anomaly consistently going against the grain: the Permian Basin.

For us, it’s the investment that keeps on giving. Of course, its position near the Gulf of Mexico gives it a leg up on other oil regions in the Lower 48. Just think of the raging jealousy that oil sands operators hold for Texas oil drillers. Not only can they extract oil at a profit right now, but they also have the added benefit of proximity to a network of Gulf Coast refineries. It's almost too much to bear. The fact that the quality of oil from West Texas is lighter and sweeter than virtually everywhere else is another story altogether. We've talked about this [high-quality oil]( before. If there were any more productive plays in the country, this advantage would mean the Permian could give them all a run for their money. But there aren’t.

He called it “gigantic” and says it puts humans on "the edge of a golden era": [bezos-clip]( [IDC is forecasting this market will surge past $47 billion]( by 2020... And for savvy investors like you, that could mean a windfall of stock market returns. Simply put? [This is NOT an opportunity you want to miss.]( The Permian is an oil investor’s dream all on its own. Producers in the area didn’t just survive the oil rout that we’re only just now coming out of — they made it the only shale play in the country to continue increasing production for the duration. Just take a look at the Permian's record over the years as compared to the infamous Bakken shale play of North Dakota: [428eacchart] Of course, the Permian was a standout play long before the shale boom and has been the first to pick up the slack left behind by the drop in prices that took thousands of rigs and wells out of the game. In the past year, the play has brought back online more than 200 rigs and now stands at 340 across the play. The next nearest play, the Eagle Ford just to the south, has grown from 40 to 78 in that time, according to Baker Hughes. These numbers alone are enough to make it clear: the Permian Basin is where oil companies and investors alike need to be paying attention. A Future Play The Permian already has a history of high performance. It’s produced more than 29 billion barrels of oil over the years and shows no signs of slowing down. But that won’t mean anything if companies there now aren’t setting up for the future. You see, it’s not enough to be increasing production in the moment, impressive though the play’s increases have been. Investors want to be assured that their money will continue to grow. And that means not only turning on the taps now, but also finding new reserves to keep them running in the future. Earlier this year, that’s exactly what EOG Resources did. The company increased its presence in the Permian last year with its $2.5 billion acquisition of Yates Petroleum Corporation, which increased the company’s base production by more than 29,000 barrels per day. This year, EOG reported that it had spud a new well in the area that could be one of the biggest the shale play has ever seen. The discovery of this well, plus Apache’s Alpine High discovery in February, brings home a potent conclusion, and one I think many investors in the oil space have seen coming for a long time...

Things were looking pretty grim for Jake, until one day he was notified that his grandfather left him a $500 inheritance. You won't believe what he did with it... Jake went into a local brokerage office and turned that $500 into $978,570 — in just five weeks of trading — all thanks to a simple secret he discovered. The brokers were absolutely stunned. But here's the thing: you can do this, too.

It’s been producing since the early 1920s and has grown into the best oil and gas resource in the country. Now that the U.S. is fully invested in exporting both fuels, the Permian’s advantages are only going to become more prominent. And the best part is, with everyone else focusing on the highs and lows of the day, we’ve got our own advantage getting in on the growth of a proven winner.
