In this daily bar chart of CXO, below, we can see that prices have yet to establish a new uptrend - a pattern of higher lows and higher highs. The volume pattern from the December low has yet to display increasing volume nor a strongly rising On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator has been hugging the zero line in recent weeks and thus not giving us a sign of trend strength.
Mizuho Securities USA LLC analyst Paul Sankey asked executives on a conference call Wednesday whether the company had altered its view about putting the company up for sale. “The big idea, I think two or three years ago, maybe longer, was that you would sell the company,” Sankey said. “I guess you’re getting too big to sell yourselves, right?” Sankey asked.
Almost all the independent producers have reduced their budgets for 2019, but many still expect to deliver double-digit growth in production this year, fourth-quarter earnings reports show. The tumble in oil prices at the end of 2018, combined with investor demands for fiscal discipline, has prompted most shale executives to only invest what they earn in cash flow, ending years of debt-fueled growth. On average, U.S. explorers have cut their capital budgets 4 percent but are predicting a 7 percent increase in production, according to RS Energy Group, a Calgary-based researcher.

Saudi Arabia and U.S. oil majors, most based in Texas, have had a symbiotic economic relationship ever since oil was found in Dhahran in 1938.The oil superpowers and some oil stocks are riding high again, as Saudi Arabia launches a "shock and awe" campaign to raise oil prices.Goldman Sachs now expects prices for Brent North Sea oil, the world standard, to rise to $67.50 per barrel this spring, with OPEC production having already been cut by 800,000 barrels per day over the last few months.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips The Texas Shale BoomOne result is that a shale oil boom that re-ignited in Texas last year is going to accelerate into 2019.The question is who will profit.The Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association (TIPRO) reports that the state's production in 2018 came to 1.54 billion barrels, up from 1.03 billion in 2017 and 20% ahead of the previous record set in 1973. This helped make the U.S. the world's largest oil producer, ahead of Russia and Saudi Arabia. * 10 'Buy-and-Hold' Stocks to Own Forever The boom in production is extending into 2019, with the Energy Information Agency reporting 11.9 million U.S. barrels per day came up the week of Feb. 8, compared with 10.25 million barrels during the same week a year ago. Wrong Oil?Oil stocks like Chevron (NYSE:CVX), which had been on a never-ending campaign of belt-tightening since the last bust in 2014, are now poised to reap the rewards.The reason, as I noted in writing about Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) earnings on Feb. 1, is an infrastructure disconnect. There's not enough pipeline capacity for all this new shale production, and U.S. refineries have long been tuned to heavier grades of imported crude anyway.So while Permian independents like Concho Resources (NYSE:CXO), which produced 310,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day during the fourth quarter, expect to see prices rising from the $53.77 level they were at Feb. 14, they're not rising quickly as Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) races to add pipeline capacity. Note that while it's now legal for the U.S. to export crude oil, the spread between WTI and Brent prices is over $10 per barrel.The biggest producers of "sour" or "heavy" crude, Venezuela and Iran, are subject to U.S. sanctions, while gasoline "crack spreads" -- the margin between the cost of crude and what refined products bring -- continue to fall. Refiners are now short the "heavy" crude they're accustomed to, while U.S. fracking companies deliver a bumper crop of "light" crude to the market.Oil that is easiest to refine and closest to the market, as on the U.S. West Coast, is now priced near $62 per barrel, while oil that can't reach the market, like Canadian Crude, is still selling at under $40 per barrel.The winners in this market would thus seem to be oil stocks that can trade oil, ship oil and arbitrage the price. But that's not the way the stock market sees it. The Bottom Line on Oil StocksExxon Mobil stock hit its high for the decade in early 2014, and is currently 17% below that figure, even with a rally that began in December. During this decade, Exxon has become a dividend stock, increasing the dividend in five years from 63 cents per share to 82 cents, yielding 4.3% at the company's price of about $76 per share on Feb. 14.Meanwhile, Concho Resources, which pays no dividend, has stock worth 23% more than five years ago. Since the start of 2019 Concho is up 16% while Exxon is up only 11%.This should be Exxon's market, but it's producers like Concho that are currently getting the love from investors due to higher production.I may be wrong, but it looks like investors are making a mistake.Dana Blankenhorn is a financial and technology journalist.
