-- イタリアのエネルギー企業Eni(ENI.MI)は、インドネシア沖合の探査井Geliga-1で「巨大」ガス田を発見したことを受け、開発加速化の選択肢を検討していると、月曜日に発表した。 Eniが82%の権益を保有するクテイ盆地のガナル鉱区に位置するGeliga-1は、深度5,100メートルまで掘削された。初期推定によると、Eniは中新世層に5兆立方フィートのガスと3億バレルのコンデンセートの埋蔵量を確認した。 Eniは、貯留層の生産性を評価するため、ドリルステムテストを実施する予定だ。Geliga-1は既存および計画中のインフラに近接しているため、Eniは市場投入までの時間とコスト最適化の面で相乗効果が期待できると見込んでいる。 さらに、今回の発見は、まだ開発されていないものの、2兆立方フィートのガスと7,500万バレルのコンデンセートの埋蔵量が確認されているGulaガス田のすぐ隣に位置している。予備評価によると、ゲリガ鉱区とグラ鉱区の資源を合わせると、クテイ盆地において、日量10億標準立方フィートのガスと日量8万バレルのコンデンセートを生産できる第3の生産拠点となる可能性が示唆されている。 今後、ゲリガ鉱区の発見は、2026年にEniインドネシアのポートフォリオにおける10%の株式を第三者に売却する計画の価値を高めることになる。売却に加え、ガナル鉱区の生産分与契約は、Eniとマレーシアの石油大手ペトロナスが共同出資するシアラ社に譲渡される19鉱区ポートフォリオの一部となっている。 クテイ盆地において、Eniは過去6ヶ月間に4つの探査井の掘削を完了した後、2026年に1坑、2027年に2坑の掘削を行う予定である。 Eniの株価は、月曜日の正午時点でイタリア・ミラノ市場で3%以上上昇した。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
