-- RBCキャピタル・マーケッツのストラテジストは日曜日のレポートで、石油掘削の縮小が圧力となり、米国の陸上掘削リグ数が2週連続で減少したと指摘した。 RBCのアナリストは、ベーカー・ヒューズのデータに基づき、米国の陸上掘削リグ総数は前週比6基減の525基となったと述べた。この減少は石油掘削事業の縮小が主な要因で、6基が稼働停止となり、総数は389基となった。ガス掘削リグ数は129基で横ばいだった。 米国最大のシェールガス生産地域であるパーミアン盆地では、掘削リグ数が1基減の241基となり、活動がやや低下した。RBCは、パーミアン盆地が引き続き米国の掘削活動を支配しており、米本土48州の石油掘削リグの約62%、陸上掘削リグ総数の47%を占めていると指摘した。 パーミアン盆地で最も活発な掘削会社は、ヘルメリック&ペイン(HP)が88基、パターソン・UTIエナジー(PTEN)が32基、ネイバーズ・インダストリーズ(NBR)が29基の掘削リグを保有している。オペレーター企業では、エクソンモービル(XOM)が34基でトップ、次いでオクシデンタル(OXY)が20基、コノコフィリップス(COP)が17基となっている。 イーグルフォード盆地の掘削リグ数は1基増加して43基となった一方、ウィリストン盆地は28基で横ばいだった。ガス開発が中心の地域では緩やかな動きが見られ、ヘインズビル・シェールは2基増加して58基となった一方、アパラチア盆地は37基で横ばいだった。 RBCによると、主要な盆地では民間オペレーターが引き続き重要な役割を果たしているものの、一部地域では活動シェアが低下しているという。パーミアン盆地では、稼働中の掘削リグのうち民間企業が占める割合は39%で、前年の43%から減少した。イーグルフォード盆地でも、民間企業の割合は46%から37%に低下した。 一方、ヘインズビル盆地では、民間企業が依然として圧倒的なシェアを占めており、掘削リグの約72%を占め、前年と変わらない。

Research Alert: Bmrn Delivers Mixed Q1 Results As Amicus Deal Closes And Pipeline Advances

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:BioMarin delivered mixed Q1 2026 results with revenue of $766M (+3% Y/Y), beating consensus by $14M, but Non-GAAP EPS of $0.76 vs $1.13 (-33% Y/Y) missed consensus of $0.91. The quarter was impacted by a $31M NAGLAZYME manufacturing charge and Amicus acquisition costs. The $4.8B Amicus acquisition closed in April, adding GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA to expand BioMarin's rare disease portfolio. Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $3.825B-$3.925B, representing 20% Y/Y growth at the midpoint. Multiple pipeline catalysts are expected in 2026, including BMN 401 Phase 3 results for ENPP1 deficiency and VOXZOGO Phase 3 data for hypochondroplasia in Q2, both potentially supporting regulatory submissions in 2H 2026. BMRN expects more than 55% of 2026 revenues in the second half, driving back-end-loaded EPS recognition, in our view. With $2B in cash and $221M Q1 operating cash flow, BioMarin maintains substantial financial flexibility, in our opinion.

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Jump to Four Week High on Cooler Forecasts

US natural gas futures trimmed earlier gains in after-hours trade on Monday but still climbed to a four-week high as cooler weather forecasts lifted prices.Both the front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract rose 2.73% to $2.856 per million British thermal units.Expectations for below-normal temperatures across key consuming regions underpinned the rally, with forecasts pointing to increased heating demand in the near term.The Energy Buyers Guide said cooler-than-normal conditions are expected to dominate the eastern two-thirds of the US over the next two weeks, while the West is forecast to stay significantly warmer than average. Even so, overall energy demand is expected to remain subdued into mid-May, absent a major shift in weather patterns.Despite the price strength, underlying demand signals remain mixed. The Energy Buyers Guide noted that Monday likely marked the seasonal low point for combined heating and cooling demand, with population-weighted degree days projected at just 5.1, the lowest level since early May 2025. It suggested this could represent a transition point before stronger cooling demand emerges later in the spring.On the supply side, ample inventories continue to weigh on the broader outlook. Barchart noted that natural gas prices had dropped to a 1.5-year nearest-futures low on Apr. 17 amid robust storage levels. US Energy Information Administration data showed inventories as of Apr. 24 were 7.7% above the five-year seasonal average.Production also remains strong. Lower-48 dry gas output was estimated at 110.1 billion cubic feet per day on Monday, up 3.2% from a year earlier and slightly above what the EIA considers typical maximum capacity for April, according to BNEF. Demand in the Lower 48 states totaled 65.5 bcf/day, up 7.0% year over year.LNG feedgas flows showed some softening. Net flows to US LNG export terminals were estimated at 18.0 bcf/day on Monday, down 6.8% from the prior week, BNEF data showed.Reuters, citing LSEG data, reported that exports from the LNG Canada facility exceeded 1 million metric tons in April, setting a monthly record. The plant, the country's first major LNG export terminal and the first on North America's West Coast, shipped all volumes to Asia, with more than half destined for South Korea and at least one cargo delivered to China.
