Today's Research on Apache, Ultra Petroleum, Range Resources, and Endeavour Intl.

LONDON, April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The oil & gas industry has been increasing capital expenditure as it looks for new oil and gas fields to boost production amid growing demand for energy from countries such as China and India. The shale oil and gas boom in the U.S. has enabled several companies to boost production. In fact, the U.S. is expected to overtake Saudi Arabia in the next few years as the world's largest oil producer, thanks to shale boom. For companies such as Apache Corporation (NYSE: APA), Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: UPL), Range Resources Corp. (NYSE: RRC), and Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END), the shale revolution offers significant opportunities. Last Friday, oil and gas stocks ended mostly lower as the broad market struggled following the release of some weak economic data.
