Enterprise will to raise its distribution yet again for the 37th straight quarter. With a dominant position in the growing US NGL market, and a plan to expand into gasoline exports, Enterprise seems to be pulling all the right levers right now. In the case of Conoco, expanded offshore drilling and the possibility of revisiting conventional oil wells with new horizontal drilling technology could unlock lots of oil for companies with more conventional assets on their books.
