We raise estimated net present value [NPV] of buy-recommended StatoilHydro (STO) to $52 a share up from $41, presuming a long-term oil price of $100 a barrel, up from $80. First quarter results released today scored higher on volume, price, cash flow and earnings than our estimates from three months ago.

Projected volumes along with current futures prices promise a continuing high level of unlevered cash flow (Ebitda). Projected cash flow capitalized at unlevered multiples (PV/Ebitda) related to reserve life (Adjusted R/P) supports NPV. The company’s dividend and cash flow outlook is boosted by a continued uptrend for oil price and more recently natural gas price.

StatoilHydro achieved a global energy milestone in 2008 with the first delivery of liquefied natural gas [LNG] to the U.S. from Norway. The LNG was produced from STO’s liquefaction plant at Snohvit (Snow White), the world’s first above the Arctic Circle.

    Who are they going to sell it to when all the natural gas you want is coming out of the ground under the DFW airport? Seems like a lot of trouble when we already have somewhere between a 60 and 300 year supply under the friendly confines of good ole North America and we don't have to freeze, ship and reprocess it to sell it.

    Ozarker.....that assumes the Dems/greenies will let the energy companies at it, which seems questionable.

    You do realize we have been importing LNG for many years now, don't you? and that the drop in our current storage of NG is largely due to a reduction in the amount of LNG imported this past year as prices in Europe and the Far East have attracted large amounts of LNG? They are paying $15/MMBTU for the gas while our market was $9 and is now $13.
