Marathon Oil Sees Momentum and Efficiency in 2013

Updated

Looking forward to next year, Marathon Oil appears to be set on a material growth trajectory. Because of efficiency gains in the Eagle Ford and Bakken fields, along with several international plays, Marathon expects to grow its production by 6%-8% over 2012. This growth won't be starting from scratch, either. Momentum has been building throughout 2012 across the board, and the expectations for 2013 are well-warranted as management continues to divest lower-grade assets in favor of a high-grade portfolio. Tune in below where energy analyst Taylor Muckerman discusses these growth prospects in more detail.

Domestic oil & gas service companies have taken a hit in the recent past due to a slowdown in the natural gas drilling boom of the last couple of years.
