The Motley Fool August 21, 2006 Jack Uldrich	Royal Dutch Shell Goes to School in Search of Profits New mathematical procedures from MIT could lead to new oil discoveries.

That's more than 40% above today's level, and the realization faces a couple of big, perhaps insurmountable, hurdles.

The Motley Fool October 31, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Strong Prices, Strong Profits at Occidental Soaring oil prices lead to soaring profits for this oil and gas producer.

To which investors reply: bunk.
The Motley Fool August 27, 2007 Toby Shute	Quick Take: Kazakhstan Won't Grease the Wheels Some bullying from the land of Borat.

The Motley Fool October 31, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Does Chevron Earn Its Stripes? The country's second largest oil company doesn't really stand out in any particular way. With a realistic chance to increase energy production and a pretty conservative valuation, these shares might be worth a look to more value-minded investors.
The Motley Fool November 10, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Ciao Bella, Eni Italian energy company Eni might not be the best-run oil company in the world, but it doesn't really seem to get its due.

The Motley Fool July 27, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Does ExxonMobil Mark the Spot? Big Oil doesn't get any bigger than this.

The Motley Fool August 7, 2006 Robert Aronen	BP's Bad News BP is shutting down a major Alaskan oil field to repair a pipeline. Just one more blow to the nation's fragile energy infrastructure. It will take a long time and a ton of money before America's energy infrastructure is back in top form.
