New intel for the CIA, Department of Defense and major oil companies reveals where the energy industry is increasing spending by up to $100 billion a year... This new spending is going to fuel 5 new “Energy Booms” that could make early-in investors very wealthy. The $103 billion annual increase in spending on Subsea Processing Systems Right now only about 30% of oil and gas extracted in the world is from off-shore oil & gas production, and about 91% of that oil comes from shallow water wells. But that is changing fast. One of the biggest trends in the oil & gas industry is best described as: “Deeper, deeper, deeper.” Over the next 15 to 20 years, the industry expects off-shore oil and gas production to equal on-shore production. Think about that: this is like getting into the traditional oil industry back before all of the biggest fields were put into production! Most on-shore fields are mature fields. But the ocean holds enormous oil & gas fields like the Shenandoah Basin in the Gulf of Mexico that looks like it could hold 15 BILLION barrels of oil, or the Mad Dog Field holding an estimated 4 billion barrels. To put that into context for you, the oil from these two finds alone would satisfy the entire U.S. demand for nearly 3 years. That’s why the oil & gas industry is betting its future on deep water drilling. And it’s barely been tapped. The industry currently spends $27 BILLION a year on subsea facilities - for wells at depths of 7,000 feet or more. That number is set to grow almost FIVE TIMES OVER to $130 BILLION in 2020. Right now is the time for smart investors to get in front of this $100 billion a year ramp up in spending on subsea facilities. Where is that money going to be spent? Which types of companies, specifically, are in a position to reward investors the most? First, let’s look at what subsea processing is. Deep sea wells are drilled by a moveable rig and the extracted oil and natural gas is transported by riser or undersea pipeline to a nearby production platform. Subsea systems, used at depths of 7,000 feet or more, don’t drill; they extract and transport the oil or gas. Unlike traditional shallow water drilling, subsea systems actually process oil & gas on the sea floor. These systems can separate unwanted elements from the oil & gas right on the seafloor: remove or re-inject water into wells, boost well fluids, remove sand and sediment, separate gas & liquid. These are all activities that USED to have to happen above water which made deep-sea processing so expensive. Basically subsea systems cut out an entire layer of traditional production simply by doing everything down on the seafloor. That translates into lower production costs so it saves money and increases the profit margin on each well. PLUS; subsea production also allows you to use a single platform to service multiple wells. In other words, it saves money while increasing production - a double winner for the industry. So it’s no wonder the industry is looking to expand from $27 billion a year investment into subsea processing to $130 billion in 2020. click on image to enlarge In order to fully develop subsea fields the industry needs NEW equipment that makes this work: from specialized drill rigs, deep sea power systems and more. That’s what this $100 billion a year increase is going to be spent on first. As investors, we want to get in front of that $100 billion increase in spending. Clearly, the companies who will be benefiting from this massive new investment are the ones that interest investors. So who will get the money? I'll send you the names and ticker symbols of the specific companies that are providing the necessary tech and are positioned to profit from the boom in subsea processing in our FREE REPORT: 5 Giant Game-Changing Energy Trends. BOOM #2 The Lazarus Process: TRIPLES the amount of recoverable oil in existing wells For decades, the industry has poured money into research and development to get an answer to one question: how can we get more oil out of existing wells? This might shock you, but most current technologies only extract about 25% of the oil in a given well. Then the well is closed down, left for dead, and 75% of the oil is left out of reach. On the other hand, The Lazarus Process allows drillers to recover 75% of the oil in a well instead of a paltry 25%, effectively TRIPLING the oil recovered from each well. This is not theoretical. It’s a proven, commercially viable process that is already being used. Think about that: The Lazarus Process takes a “dead well” that produced 1 million barrels and goes back and pulls 2 million more barrels out of the ground. This process is like rediscovering every oil field ever found... TWICE. Right now in the U.S. alone there are about 89 BILLION barrels of oil sitting there waiting to be extracted from “dead wells.” This is a big trend just barely getting started from an investor’s standpoint. Here’s how it works: Step one: Capture CO2, Carbon gas, emitted by the refiners. Full operations will capture 90% of carbon dioxide emitted by refiners - enough to condense the carbon impact of 10 refineries essentially down to the size of one. Step two: The CO2 is then transported directly to oil wells. Step three: The CO2 is then injected into the ground to increase pressure in the wells. When the CO2 mixes with the trapped oil the oil EXPANDS. The increased pressure pumps the oil out. So for every $1 of oil produced in existing wells this process produces $2 more. Just one oil field south of Houston, Texas, is looking at an increase from 1.6 million barrels of recoverable oil to 3.1 million barrels. This technology is a MAJOR NEW PROFIT CENTER for the oil industry. The investing opportunity: We have several profit opportunities up and down the supply chain because of The Lazarus Process. But the best bet right now is in Texas, where new CO2 pipelines are being added to the existing pipeline network. Texas is the leader in this new technology right now, so that's where the money is in the near term. One company stands head and shoulders above everyone else. This is the #1 stock investors should be looking at to profit on The Lazarus Process. I'll give you our detailed analysis, including the company's name, ticker symbol, and recommended entry points in your FREE REPORT: 5 Giant Game-Changing Energy Trends. BOOM #3 New tech discovers oil & gas fields 15X faster click on image to enlarge This is another breakthrough whose time has come from an investor’s standpoint. It finds the same amount of oil in a matter of weeks that it took a decade to find back in the 1990s. You may not know it, but the energy industry is second only to the U.S. Department of Defense in the use of super- computers. They are used in seismic imaging to make it easier to find oil & gas fields before drilling. It replaced the old method of drilling, drilling, drilling to find the sweet spot for oil and gas wells. Essentially what these supercomputing systems do is analyze vast amounts of seismic imaging data collected by geologists using sound waves. In recent years the industry has added 4D imaging, which unlocks a variable that allows oil and gas companies not only to determine the geological characteristics of a potential play, but also gives them a look at the how a reservoir is changing LIVE, in real time. What it means for the industry: Whoever has the best super-computers gets to the best oil & gas fields FIRST. Now, one company is clearly winning the “arms race” in super-computers. It’s built one of the most powerful super computers in the world specifically to find new fields, faster. Explorers in the industry who use their system will be able to find oil and gas fields FIFTEEN TIMES FASTER than their competitors. And clients are flocking to them. You’ll find the name and details of this new leader in oil & gas exploration tech in your FREE REPORT: 5 Giant Game-Changing Energy Trends BOOM #4 Gas industry on track to invest $200 billion into these projects In June 2013 the U.S. government approved a $10 billion Freeport Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Development Project. These LNG terminals are a necessary new infrastructure for one of the biggest bets the gas industry is making right now. You see, natural gas faces a massive problem: It’s not easily stored in gaseous form. It functions more like electricity than it does oil. You need to have a direct connection between the source of the natural gas and the end user. Just like you have power lines bringing electricity into your house. That severely limits demand for natural gas because building a pipeline infrastructure similar to our electrical grids is too impractical. Liquefaction, the process of turning natural gas into a liquid that can be stored, is the solution. But we don’t currently have the infrastructure to transport liquid natural gas. click on image to enlarge The good news is: The U.S. government, major oil companies like Shell Oil and others, and the gas industry as a whole is aggressively pushing to build NEW LNG INFRASTRUCTURE. The $10 billion Freeport Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Development Project is just the tip of the iceberg of projects in the works. We could see 5 more of these $10-$12 billion projects start this year alone. And see 19-20 more right on their heels. That could be $200 billion or more in investment into this new infrastructure. So ask yourself: Who is going to benefit FIRST from the rise of LNG infrastructure? Long term the Liquid natural gas exporters will benefit. The LNG terminals being built are essentially highly specialized ports to manage the logistical issues around the transportation of liquid natural gas. But they won’t be first to see a big boom in their stock prices. They are farther down the line in the sequence of companies who will benefit. First in line are the specialized engineering firms who will BUILD the LNG terminals. These are the companies who will actually receive that estimated $200 billion in direct investment. That’s the #1 opportunity facing us RIGHT NOW. Who are they? Which specific stocks can you buy today to profit from this massive infrastructure spending? I'll show you in your FREE REPORT: 5 Giant Game-Changing Energy Trends. In a moment I'll tell you how to download this special report today. But first, here's one last game-changing trend... BOOM #5 The Shale Revolution Goes Global - who’s next in line? North America has been the leader in the shale revolution. It’s completely transforming the oil & gas industry in the United States and Canada. But the trend will NOT stop in North America. No, we're just at the beginning of a global trend to tap shale oil and gas. New fields are being discovered almost constantly, and the proven reserves that we know are technically recoverable with current technologies are massive. Russia has 75 billion barrels of recoverable shale oil and 245 trillion cubic feet of recoverable shale gas. China has 32 billion barrels of recoverable shale oil and 1,115 trillion cubic feet of recoverable shale gas. Argentina has 27 billion barrels of recoverable shale oil and 802 trillion cubic feet of recoverable shale gas. Brazil, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Algeria, Libya, India, the United Kingdom and other countries all have huge fields of shale oil or gas. Globally we’re looking at 345 billion barrels of technically recoverable shale oil and 7.2 quadrillion cubic feet of recoverable shale gas. Remember, investors who caught the shale boom in North America had the chance to capture up to 3,241.66% gains in Gulfport Energy Corp. - enough to turn $20k invested into $668,332 - in about four years... and 3,727.08% in Southwestern Energy Corp - enough to turn every $20k invested into $765,400. At Oil & Energy Insider, published for our small circle of members, we’ve been tracking the progress of the shale revolution around the globe. This is a massive trend. But it is not a trend you want to dive into blindly. Not all of these resources will be unlocked this year, or next year, or even the year after that. Again, we have to look at the necessary sequence of events that need to happen on a country by country, company by company basis. If you want to get on board the global shale revolution, you need to stay keenly aware of what the oil & gas industry is doing in each of those countries. You need to know how long the government approval process to unlock those fields is in each of those countries - and exactly where in the process each company is at any given time. You need to understand the regulatory hoops new projects have to jump through... and how the specific companies involved are equipped to handle them. And you need to understand all that within the context of the industry as a whole. That’s where our intelligence networks outperform everyone else in the industry. We have connections, contacts, and intelligence assets on the ground uncovering the real story for our members. So where are the best investment opportunities in shale right now?
