At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.68% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through August 5, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Equinor Concludes Sale of Stake in King Lear & Tommeliten
Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) has concluded the sales of two non-core discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) that were announced in October 2018.
The first sale comprises 77.8% operated interest in the King Lear discovery to Aker BP for a total consideration of $250 million.
King Lear, a gas/condensate discovery made in 1989, is located in PL 146 and PL 333 blocks in the Ekofisk area of the NCS. The discovery is estimated to hold net recoverable resources of 77 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The second sale includes non-operated interests of 42.38% in the Tommeliten Unit (PL044 TA) and 30% in PL044 to PGNiG for a total consideration of $220 million.
ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) operated Tommeliten Alpha, a gas/condensate discovery made in 1976, is estimated to hold net recoverable resources of 52 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The sale is part of the company’s process to rationalize Norwegian portfolio and focus on projects that provide higher returns. Aker BP anticipates that the deal will boost capacity utilization in the Ula facilities and provide considerable additional volumes of injection gas to support higher oil recovery. Several oil companies are reorganizing portfolios and divesting assets. These include Enbridge Inc (ENB - Free Report) , ConocoPhillips and Devon Energy Corp (DVN - Free Report) .
Significant investments have been made by the NCS operators for the development of infrastructure and expansion of large fields. Further, investments will yield by phasing in smaller near-field oil and gas deposits through existing infrastructure. Production of smaller volumes will generate profits as well as expand field life and activity level of the big fields.
