The Two Most Profitable Oil Plays in the World…

Two companies are dwarfing "big oil" in profit margins and reserves. They’re about to hand investors a double in the short run…

No one knows if the price of oil will continue breaking records - but one thing is certain:

The biggest oil companies are hardly the best oil investments.

Four of the six "majors"- Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Chevron and ConocoPhillips - have profit margins that fall below the S&P energy-stock average of 9.7%.

And of those four, Chevron and ConocoPhillips are the only ones whose shares are actually higher than they were a year ago.

The fact is that companies outside of the "Big 6" are handing investors the best returns.

Two in particular stand out as potential triple-digit plays. The first is China’s largest producer of offshore crude and natural gas. It not only supplies the mainland’s thirst for energy, but it has a whopping with 2.6 billion barrels in reserves.

Its huge reserves are growing in value with every up tick in oil prices. Add in a dividend of $1.13, and this company’s prospects sing to both short- and long-term investors.

It also has one of the highest profit margins in the industry - with translates to stock appreciation, as you’ll see in a moment.

The second high-profit play is in Europe, with operations expanding throughout the globe. It’s the world’s leader in deepwater exploration technology, which means it spends significantly less time and money finding oil than its competitors.

That’s a major advantage - and it shows. It just trounced Wall Street estimates by 34.29% for the first quarter. And it pumps out a healthy 2% dividend.

This exclusive report gives the details on both and shows why they are two of the best oil plays available in this time of soaring prices.

The Most Profitable Oil Company… Period

No other oil company is nearly as profitable as Hong Kong-based CNOOC Ltd. The offshore oil and natural gas explorer has a jaw-dropping profit margin of 34.45%, more than quadrupling those of four supermajors - ConocoPhillips (6.75%), Royal Dutch Shell (8.35%), BP (8.40%) and Chevron (8.61%).

CNOOC has four oil production areas offshore China, as well as offshore oil facilities in Indonesia and certain upstream assets in regions, such as Africa and Australia.

As of December 31, 2007, it had about 2.6 billion barrels of reserves. And CNOOC’s proximity to mainland China and other emerging economies ensures that its oil doesn’t stay in the barrel very long.

You see, all it takes is a stroll down the street in China to see that demand for oil and gasoline is going to increase far faster than most U.S.-based analysts would ever believe - or understand.

"Nowhere is that more evident than China where I’m traveling now," Money Morning Investment Director Keith Fitz-Gerald said recently while leading an investor’s tour of the Red Dragon. "Beijing alone is adding 1,500 cars a day. Across China, the number is obviously higher. The same is true in India, but to a lesser degree."

[Editor's note: As the economies of China and India soar, the investment opportunities in each have become staggering... though not all are winners. "The Essential Investor's Playbook" lays out more than a dozen stocks that will best capture profits in both emerging economies.]

According to Fitz-Gerald, every investor must have a China strategy. And that especially holds true for the energy sector.

And CNOOC Ltd. is a prime candidate to fulfill both the "China" and "energy" portions of your investment portfolio.

Because let’s face it: China isn’t going to stop growing anytime soon. Incomes are rising and all the major automobile makers are setting up billion-dollar plants there.

Patient investors may be handsomely rewarded in the long-term, as CNOOC is uniquely positioned to capitalize on China’s thirst for oil for decades.

And given the weak dollar, CNOOC could also be on the prowl for acquisitions, which would further boost its earnings potential.

Going Deep on Petro Profits

A company can make all the money in the world, but it won’t turn a profit if it drains its wallet in the process - especially as oil prices climb.

Norway-based StatoilHydro ASA is an integrated company that’s involved in nearly every element of the oil and natural gas industries - a business model that saves hundreds of millions in outsourcing costs and adds just as much from multiple income streams.

Specifically, it produces, transports, refines, markets and sells oil and natural gas - both regionally and worldwide.

And that’s a major reason why StatoilHydro saw its year-over-year net income rocket 62% in the first quarter. The company also bested Wall Street’s first-quarter estimates by 34.29%, serving investors a 94-cents-per-share profit compared to its 70-cent forecast.

All totaled, Statoil has 7,000 kilometers of pipeline from the Norwegian continental shelf to Europe.

It’s now the world’s largest energy operator in waters more than 100 meters deep, producing an average of 1.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. It has proven reserves of more than 6 billion barrels of oil, has operations in 40 countries and is expanding aggressively to diversify internationally.

Statoil’s front-end operations are ubiquitous in northern Europe, where its network consists of about 2,000 Statoil-branded service stations, 470 tanker trucks and 99 depots spanning eight countries.

But more pertinent in the face of an energy crisis, StatoilHydro sends out one-third of its total daily output - about 600,000 barrels of crude and other fuels - to the United States.

[Editor's note: A former head of research for Merrill Lynch released a "tell all" document today... detailing how to buy oil for just 25 cents a barrel... and cash it in for an outrageous short-term gain.]

In March, the company announced plans to spend as much as $2.1 billion on operations in Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico. It bought the 50% stake it didn’t already own in Peregrino, a heavy oil field in Brazil, and 25% of the deep water Kaskida discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, from the Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp.

Statoil’s cost-effective operations are maximizing the record revenues it’s seeing from high oil prices. And its globally integrated operations ensure the company will generate more revenue streams and better returns for investors.

How To Increase Your Fuel Economy And Save Money By Using Cruise Control Properly

Looking to cruise but without the high cost?

It may not be the vacation you imagined, but recent tests have shown that using the cruise control function on your car can help you reduce your fuel expenses. Cruise control ensures that a driver maintains a common, steady speed while on the road, helping to eliminate much of the stopping and starting that unnecessarily burns up expensive fuel. With gasoline prices rising across the country, using cruise control is a simple, effective, economical way to increase fuel efficiency and reduce out of pocket expenses.

But despite its advantages, cruise control isn't for everyone and isn't for all roads. It's best for open city driving, preferably flat roads, without hills where there's little need for a driver to stop and go. Using cruise control ensures that a driver maintains a consistent speed, helping to improve gas mileage and overall safety on the road, as the need to put on the brakes is lessened. When tested, a Land Rover LR3 got close to 14 percent better mileage when using cruise control on the highway than it did when the driver adjusted the car speed manually. This test shows how the use of cruise control can impact a car's efficiency.

Don't fear if you're one of those drivers who can't necessarily utilize cruise control because your commute isn't as straightforward. There are still simple ways you can maximize your fuel efficiency, one of which involves anticipating the flow of traffic. Try to predict where the starts and stops during your travels will be and adjust your driving speed accordingly. For example, if you get stopped at light, it's likely you'll also be stopped at the following one. Speeding your car up to try and beat it will, more often than not, only result in you getting stopped at the following light and needing to brake fast. Being mindful of such situations and react appropriately to reduce fuel waste. It's also important to follow the posted speed limit, as it's been known to translate into more green lights and less wear on your brakes.

Driving your vehicle in the highest gear possible can also make a difference in the economy of your car. When your car runs in a high gear, the engine turns more slowly, reducing how many explosions occur in the cylinders. The fewer explosions that happen, the less fuel that is used. On average, the savings on gas due to this increase in efficiency are 7 percent. This may seem pretty small, but the savings in fuel expenses are big.

Cruise control can help steer you to better mileage and improved fuel efficiency. Finally, good reasons to sit back and relax.

How much time do I save when I drive 75-80 mph as opposed to 65-70 mph on a longer trip (over 100 miles)?

I just read an article on saving gas and it claims that you add the equivalent of 20 cents per gallon for each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 mph. But I'm just wondering what people think about getting to your destination faster to save gas vs. going slower to save gas. On the expressways that I usually drive on for long trips the speed limit is 70 mph and I will usually go as fast as 80mph. Do you think I'm wasting fuel or driving efficiently? FYI: I have a fuel efficient 2-door Civic, use cruise control as often as possible, limit the amount of extra weight in my car, and drive safely. What do you all think?

I tried an experment with my 2004 Dodge Dakota 4X4 crew cab a few weeks ago... On a trip I made, I drove 100 miles at 65 MPH, then filled up the tank and drove another 100 miles at 75 MPH. At 65 I was getting 16 miles to the gallon. At 75 I was getting just over 14 MPG. I'm not a math whiz, and maybe I've got some of this wrong, but it convinced me to slow down a bit on the highway.

Here's the numbers...

100 Miles @ 65 MPH = 1.5 hours
100 miles @ 75 MPH = 1.3 hours

Time lost at lower speed = .2 hours (12 minutes)

100 miles @ 16 MPG = 6.25 gallons
100 miles @ 14 MPG = 7.14 gallons

Fuel saved at lower speed = .89 gallons

Money saved = $2.67 per 100 miles (gasoline at $3.00 per gallon)
