InterOil Corporation Research
Report
InterOil's successful drill stem tests (DST) has given investors
a reason to be delightful, although the company has still not
settled its partnering agreement on its upcoming LNG project.
InterOil is poised to capitalize on the booming liquefied natural
gas (LNG) market by establishing an LNG plant in the Gulf Province
of Papua New Guinea. While the
plan was initially criticized by the PNG government last year, the
plan finally gained the government's approval around November,
clearing any political barriers for InterOil's new project.
InterOil's LNG plant will have an initial output of 3.8 million
tons per annum. InterOil's Board of Directors intends to meet the
Company's advisors in the first week of March 2013 to evaluate which partner would be
most suitable for the project. To give a clearer picture of how
profitable this project could be for InterOil, one must note that
the Chinese government plans to increase its natural gas energy
consumption from 4% to 10% by 2020. If InterOil can supply this to
China, it may bring in significant
revenue for the company, allowing it to compete with ExxonMobil for
the title of lead producer in Papua New
Guinea. The Full Research Report on InterOil Corporation

YPF SA Research Report
The situation is not as simple for YPF, a company that made
headlines last year after Argentina's government nationalized 51 percent
of the company by seizing shares from Repsol SA (REP) in April. But
this did not stop from YPF securing a partnership deal with Chevron
to develop Argentine shale and natural gas resources. In retort,
Repsol filed a complaint in a federal court in Manhattan accusing Chevron of improperly
obtaining rights to develop Argentine resources. However,
Ali Moshiri, Chevron's president for
Latin America and African
operations, dismisses the lawsuit as "irrelevant."YPF CEO
Miguel Galuccio remarked that this
deal marks a significant day for YPF, which needs to invest
$37.2 billion to boost output.
Argentina is now the largest
natural gas producer in South
America, and it can even go further if YPF continues to seal
partnerships like the ones with Chevron and continues to invest in
order to maximize its output. In 2011, a vast amount of shale oil
was discovered in the country, which boosted its energy reserves by
44%. The Full Research Report on YPF SA - including full

Caterpillar Inc. Research
Report
Caterpillar's fourth quarter profit was $697 million or $1.04 per share, as compared to $1.5 billion, or $2.32 per share a year earlier. This huge cut in
profits was largely due to the company's recent acquisition, the
ERA Mining Machinery Ltd., a Chinese firm that allowed Caterpillar
access to the country's underground coal mining industry. However,
ERA became involved in an accounting scandal, revealing that the
company and its subsidiaries had been involved in a "deliberate,
multiyear, coordinate accounting misconduct." Caterpillar CEO
Doug Oberhelman took full
responsibility for the misconduct, and said that the company is now
considering every measure to recover. Despite this blunder,
Caterpillar still holds strong to its long-term view for mining,
stating that the world's GDP will grow at 3 to 4 percent at some
point, and when that happens, the growth is going to be
mineral-driven. Oberhelman's conviction is backed by the growth of
the company's mining revenue by 14 percent. The Full Research
Report on Caterpillar Inc. - Including full detailed
breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to

Chesapeake Energy Corporation Research
Report
Before the demand increase, investors were not as confident in
Chesapeake Energy as the company's business moves were seen as only
catching up with its competitors. However, the second largest
producer of natural gas is making smart business moves that would
attract investors. With the downtrend in natural gas prices, the
company focused on spending on drilling liquid gas plays. Capital
expenditures on drilling were increased as well as oil production.
Among any domestic independent producer, Chesapeake Energy has the
greatest inventory of unconventional resource. Chesapeake Energy is
scheduled to release its Q4 2012 earnings on February 21, 2013. The Full Research Report on
Chesapeake Energy Corporation - including full detailed breakdown,
