The Securities and Exchange Commission sees climate change as enough of a risk that it requires companies to disclose their climate-change-related risks in their annual 10k filings. Most, however, deal only cursorily with the potential for tightened regulation, without considering the many other threats to business operations that arise from a warming planet.
A recent report from sustainable business advocate Ceres found wide discrepancies in disclosure quality among oil and gas majors. Ceres found that BP (NYSE: BP ) , Suncor (NYSE: SU ) , and Eni (NYSE: E ) provided the best disclosure overall, while ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) and Apache (NYSE: APA ) did the worst.
Eni provided good disclosure by, among other things, mentioning specific emissions reductions for its combined cycle co-generation work, and providing a detailed discussion of its flaring and carbon capture and storage efforts. BP's disclosure included a detailed analysis ��f the effects of indirect risks and opportunities on its operations. For example, BP disclosed that its "low-carbon businesses and future growth options outside oil and gas... have the potential to be a material source of low-carbon energy and are aligned with BP's core capabilities." Suncor quantified the effects of existing regulations, and also described a basis for its conclusions about materiality. The company explained how it assesses��future regulatory risks using a carbon price range. ExxonMobil and Apache either only vaguely acknowledged various climate change risks or failed to discuss them at all.John Vechey of PopCap Games recently joined The Motley Fool for a climate change summit. Among his guests was Stu Dalheim, vice president of shareholder advocacy at Calvert Investments. In the video below, Dalheim explains how Calvert assesses material, environmental, and sustainability issues to discover how effectively companies are recognizing their risks and working to minimize them and build sustainability.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Robert Rapier]
Note that I had to change the scale, because the previous 1971 production peak was obliterated in 2011 as US gas production began to rise at rates that would have been unimaginable 10 years earlier. This shale gas revolution turned natural gas producers like Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) into household names, while Cheniere was pushed to the edge of bankruptcy as interest in LNG imports vanished. Cheniere’s share price fell from $40 to just over $1.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Robert Rapier] For those who are unaware, each month there is a joint web chat for subscribers of The Energy Strategist (TES) and MLP Profits. The chat is conducted by Igor Greenwald, managing editor for TES and chief investment strategist for MLP Profits, and myself. This month’s chat took place on Sept. 10.
We place a priority on answering questions about portfolio holdings and recommendations during the chat, but often we get questions about companies we don’t currently recommend. Or, we sometimes get questions or comments about a company that require an extended answer. In these cases we push those questions to the end, and attempt to answer them if time allows. For this past chat there were several questions remaining at the end, which I will address here today. For each company, a brief background is presented for readers who may not be familiar with the company.
Q: What is your view of BCEI at the present price?
Bonanza Creek Energy (NYSE: BCEI) is a Denver-based oil and gas company with operations in Colorado and southern Arkansas. While the Bakken Formation in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas get more press, oil and gas plays in the Denver-Julesburg Basin have helped turn Colorado into one of the fastest growing energy producing states in the country and the fastest growing oil producer in the Rocky Mountains. Since 2008 oil production in Colorado has risen by an impressive 63 percent to a 50-year high.
BCEI is well-positioned with acreage in the Wattenberg Gas Field north of Denver. The field is one of the largest natural gas plays in the US. Wattenberg represents 60 percent of BCEI’s proved reserves, with 59 percent of those reserves classified as liquid. Of the company’s remaining reserves, 39 percent are located in the oil-bearing Cotton Valley Sands in Southern Arkansas (68 percent liquids) and 1 percent in Colorado’s North Park Basin (100 percent liquids).
BCEI has grown reserves at a 45 - [By Holly LaFon]
Another area that is intriguing to us is the North American energy sector which looks to have a number of interesting catalysts currently. While the energy sector is at present only a modest overweight in the portfolios, we have been encouraged by several trends taking place for a number of years. These positive developments are also having an impact that goes far beyond the energy sector itself. Many believe that the U.S. will become energy independent and possibly a net exporter of natural gas and oil (currently restricted by law) in the next decade. This opinion is based primarily on the development of new drilling techniques (i.e. horizontal drilling, and high pressure fracking) that have enabled companies to access oil and natural gas reserves in shale formations that were previously not economically viable. The ability to tap into this acreage is a game-changer in our view and is already having a tremendous impact on the economy. Employment rates in these mostly rural areas surrounding the shale basins are very high and companies thus find hiring extremely competitive. Strong labor markets tend to create strong local economies. Oil States International (OIS) has been able to capitalize on this trend by providing housing and other services to oil service workers that are in demand in the area. CST Brands (CST) operates gas stations in Texas, but it is increasingly looking to broaden its product offering beyond fuel. Rail companies like Union Pacific (UNP), Canadian Pacific (CP), Kansas City Southern (KSU) and Genesee and Wyoming (GWR) have also benefited substantially. Given that shale areas are rural and often lacking infrastructure, substantial investment must be made to support drilling and production activities. Without pipelines in place, railroads have been the primary takeaway mechanism for moving production to the various clusters of refining capacity around the United States. In order to serve this demand, massive investment in railcars has been nee
