-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。ARC Resources(ARX)は、第1四半期に過去最高の日量418,522バレル相当の石油換算量(boe/日)を記録し、前年同期比12%増となりました。営業キャッシュフローは9億6,700万カナダドル(1株当たり1.70カナダドル、前年同期比17%増)、フリーキャッシュフローは4億5,900万カナダドル(1株当たり0.81カナダドル、前年同期比19%増)でした。天然ガス価格が1,000立方フィート当たり4.51カナダドルと高水準で推移し、生産量も増加したことが好業績につながりました。また、同社は配当と自社株買いを通じて、フリーキャッシュフローの56%にあたる2億5,600万カナダドルを株主に還元しました。4月27日、ARXはシェルによる220億カナダドルでの買収を発表しました。買収価格は1株当たり32.80カナダドルで、27%のプレミアムが上乗せされており、同社の卓越した事業運営能力が改めて証明されました。経営陣は、2026年の生産量見通しを日量40万5000~42万バレル相当、設備投資額を18億~19億カナダドルと据え置いたが、第2四半期には計画通りの事業再建の影響が見られるだろう。今四半期は、ARXが二桁の生産量増加と堅調なガス価格を実現したことから、シェルがこの戦略的買収を追求した理由が明らかになった。取引完了に複雑な問題が生じない限り、株価は32.80カナダドルの公募価格付近で推移すると予想される。

US Oil, Gas Reserves Fall as Alaska Gains on New Projects, EIA Says
US oil and gas proved reserves declined in 2024 as lower prices weighed on estimates, though Alaska bucked the national trend with gains driven by increased development activity, the Energy Information Administration strategists said in a note on Wednesday.Steven Grape, EIA analyst, said total US proved reserves of crude oil and lease condensate fell 1% to about 46 billion barrels at year-end 2024, while natural gas reserves dropped 3% to 584 trillion cubic feet.Alaska, in contrast, posted increases in both categories. Crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves in the state rose 5% to 3.1 billion barrels, while natural gas reserves climbed nearly 7% to 103 Tcf.Benchmark prices declined for a second consecutive year in 2024, weighing on reserve estimates nationwide. Average spot prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil slipped 1% from 2023 levels, while Henry Hub natural gas prices fell 13%.The EIA said the price downturn contributed to reserve reductions in key producing states. Texas recorded the largest drop in crude oil reserves, down 529 million barrels, or 3%, followed by North Dakota, down 487 million barrels, or 11%.For natural gas, Texas again led losses with a 10.2 Tcf decline, or 7%, while Louisiana saw reserves fall by 8.4 Tcf, or 26%, the agency said.Alaska's gains were supported by increased exploration and development activity, which led to upward revisions despite the weaker price environment. EIA analysts said the startup of the Nuna project, operated by ConocoPhillips (COP), contributed to higher oil reserves during the year.Future projects are projected to further boost Alaska's reserves, including new drilling at Prudhoe Bay and infrastructure developments such as the planned Alaska LNG Project.Meanwhile, recent US policy measures have also aimed to accelerate resource development in the state. President Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 to expedite permitting and leasing of energy projects in Alaska and promote LNG exports to domestic and allied markets.The Bureau of Land Management awarded leases covering 1.3 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska in March.Price: $126.79, Change: $+2.47, Percent Change: +1.99%
