Oil prices continue to rise on Wednesday, adding to gains driven by potential supply disruptions in the Middle East and fresh warnings out of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">known as OPEC+</a>.
What To Know: Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the oil minister of Saudi Arabia, has warned that prices could fall to $50 per barrel if global oil producers don&#8217;t comply with production curbs, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/saudi-minister-warns-of-50-oil-as-opec-members-flout-production-curbs-216dc070?mod=hp_lead_pos4">report</a> from the Wall Street Journal. 
The report indicates the Saudi oil minister&#8217;s comments are being viewed as a threat that Saudi Arabia is willing to start a pricing war to help maintain its market share.
Oil prices had been in decline before jumping this week amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rising Middle East tensions</a>. Iran launched an attack on Israel Tuesday following the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, reportedly firing between 100 and 200 missiles toward Israel.
Brent Crude futures, the international benchmark, climbed as much as 5% on Tuesday before pulling back and finishing the day up about 2.4%. Brent Crude futures were up 2.75%, trading around $75.50 at the time of writing Wednesday, while front-month&nbsp;WTI Crude futures were up 3.06%, hovering around $72. 
Saudi Arabia reportedly needs prices to be at least $85 per barrel in order to help fund its planned economic transformation. 
The rising tensions in the Middle East are also likely to push up prices of U.S. gasoline. According to an ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/rising-oil-prices-after-iran-strike-increase-us/story?id=114394795">report</a>, drivers could see prices at the pump rise between 10 cents and 15 cents per gallon.
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) was up 2.7% at $74.06 and the IShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>) was up 2.24% at $93.50 at last check. The SPDR Energy Select Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) was up 1.25% at $90.93 at the time of writing.

<li>Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) up 1.77% at $122.02.</li>

Analysts React: OPEC is set to hold an online Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee meeting on Wednesday that the market will be watching closely, Roth MKM analysts said in a note. OPEC members are expected to discuss whether to ease production curbs in December.
The Roth MKM analysts also highlighted oil inventory data that is positive for oil prices and noted that oil is likely to continue trading higher on Wednesday. 
Analysts at Truist Securities and Jefferies highlighted other opportunities given the elevated global threat environment. Jefferies highlighted opportunity in the tanker market as the Middle East conflict raises risk premiums on the energy market, and Truist analysts said they expect the intensifying conflict to ultimately translate into bookings and backlog growth for the U.S. defense industry overall.

Shares of energy companies are trading higher amid a rise in oil after the Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. Also, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a speech to the UN, mentioned Hezbollah and said his country has "every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely."

Wells Fargo Maintains Equal-Weight on BP, Lowers Price Target to $35

In August, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/09/41066122/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-comes-in-below-expectations-for-august-easing-concerns-about-rising-p">Personal Consumption Expenditures </a>(PCE) Price Index, rose 2.2% year-over-year, coming in below analyst expectations of 2.3%. That&#8217;s down from July's 2.5%.
The core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased by 2.7% year-over-year, matching forecasts and slightly higher than July's 2.6%.
This decline in overall inflation, despite steady core inflation, suggests a potential easing of price pressures, even as costs for services like housing and financial services continue to rise.

</ul>
Rising costs in services, particularly in housing, financial services, and insurance, were the key drivers of inflation, pushing the overall PCE index higher. While service prices surged, goods prices saw a slight decline, helping to offset some of the inflationary pressure. Meanwhile, falling energy prices, especially gasoline, provided additional relief compared to previous periods of stronger inflationary impact from energy.
Food prices increased modestly, primarily in off-premises consumption like groceries, but their effect on inflation was smaller compared to services. 
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, remained steady due to ongoing price increases in durable goods and essential services. Despite minor declines in goods prices, rising service costs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">kept core inflation elevated</a>.

The company secured a 25-megawatt (MW) order for its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems from oil companies BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and Iberdrola S.A.&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDSF#OTC">IBDSF</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ir.plugpower.com/press-releases/news-details/2024/Plug-Contracts-with-bp-and-Iberdrola-Joint-Venture-to-Supply-25-MW-of-PEM-Electrolyzers-for-bps-Castelln-Refinery-Project-in-Valencia-Spain/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint </a>venture, Castellón Green Hydrogen S.L.

Why Is Plug Power Stock Surging Premarket On Thursday?

Plug Signs Agreement With BP And Iberdrola Joint Venture To Supply 25 MW Of PEM Electrolyzers For BP's Castellón Refinery Project In Valencia, Spain

BP plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bp#NYSE">BP</a>), a leading UK-based energy company, has announced plans to sell its onshore wind business in the United States. This marks a strategic shift as the energy giant refocuses on its solar partnership and other renewable energy sources. The move, which came amid challenges in the wind sector, signals BP&#39;s shift from certain renewables despite previous efforts to diversify its energy portfolio.
<h2>BP to Exit Onshore Wind</h2>
The company revealed its intention to sell BP Wind Energy, which holds interests in 10 onshore wind projects across seven U.S. states, with a combined generating capacity of 1.3 gigawatts (GW). BP cited the misalignment of the business with its future growth strategies as the primary reason behind the sale. William Lin, BP&#39;s executive vice president for gas and low-carbon energy, stated that the wind business &quot;is likely to be of greater value for another owner.&quot;
The onshore wind sector has encountered significant challenges of late, including high material costs, rising interest rates and supply-chain issues. Several companies in the sector have been compelled to cancel or renegotiate contracts, laying pressure on BP&#39;s wind assets.
<h2>Focus Shifts to Lightsource BP Solar Partnership</h2>
In contrast to its wind energy divestment, BP is increasing its solar efforts. The company recently announced plans to take full ownership of Lightsource BP, Europe&#39;s largest solar developer. This move aligns with BP&#39;s broader strategy to concentrate on its solar partnership, which it considers to be on par with its current growth objectives.
The wind business sale marks a pivotal moment for BP as it realigns its energy transition strategy, pivoting away from wind energy to enhance its core oil and gas operations and focus on certain renewable sectors.
<h2>BP&#39;s Zacks Rank &amp; Key Picks</h2>
BP currently carries a Zack Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Investors interested in the&nbsp;energy&nbsp;sector may look at some better-ranked stocks like TechnipFMC plc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fti#NYSE">FTI</a>), Core Laboratories Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/clb#NYSE">CLB</a>) and VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/egy#NYSE">EGY</a>), each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.
TechnipFMC is a leading manufacturer and supplier of products, services and fully integrated technology solutions for the energy industry, with a focus on the subsea segment in offshore basins worldwide. FTI&#39;s growing backlog ensures strong revenue visibility and supports margin improvements.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FTI&#39;s 2024 EPS is pegged at $1.34. The company has a Zacks Style Score of B for Value and A for Growth. It has witnessed upward earnings estimate revisions for 2025 in the past 30 days.
Core Laboratories, an oilfield services company, has a deep portfolio of sophisticated, proprietary products and services that positions it to take advantage of the growing maturity in the global hydrocarbon reserve base. CLB&#39;s expanding international upstream projects indicate a positive trajectory for revenues and profitability, especially as oil demand continues to rise globally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CLB&#39;s 2024 EPS is pegged at $0.95. The company has a Value Score of B. It has witnessed upward earnings estimate revisions for 2024 and 2025 in the past 30 days.
VAALCO Energy is an independent energy company involved in upstream business operations, with a diversified presence in Africa and Canada. Having a large inventory of drilling locations in premium Canadian Acreage, the company&#39;s production outlook seems bright.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EGY&#39;s 2024 EPS is pegged at $0.65. The company has a Value Score of A. It has witnessed upward earnings estimate revisions for 2024 in the past 30 days.

BP Plans to Sell U.S. Onshore Wind Division Amid Strategic Shift

BP plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bp#NYSE">BP</a>), a leading UK-based energy company, has enlisted American Bureau of Shipping (&quot;ABS&quot;) for a range of services related to the floating production unit (FPU) for its Kaskida development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. This marks BP&#39;s sixth-operated deepwater project in the region, located in a high-margin basin. ABS will provide classification and engineering verification services for the new semi-submersible FPU, a key component in BP&#39;s growing Gulf of Mexico portfolio.
<h2>ABS&#39; Role in BP&#39;s Kaskida Development</h2>
ABS, known for its expertise in offshore exploration, will support the project with its engineering review, verification and inspection services. It will act as the certified verification agent for the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. ABS will also serve as the independent third-party verifier for high-pressure, high-temperature subsea equipment. Miguel Hernandez, ABS&#39; senior vice president, highlighted its decades of experience in working with complex semisubmersible production platforms, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico.
In addition, it will collaborate with the United States Coast Guard to oversee the design, construction, installation and equipment for BP&#39;s Kaskida FPU.
<h2>Engineering for BP&#39;s Kaskida FPU Underway</h2>
BP has already engaged multiple firms for the engineering and design work on the FPU. Audubon Engineering is handling the topside design, while Exmar Offshore is responsible for the hull, with both contracts awarded in August 2024. The Kaskida project is expected to begin production by 2029, with the FPU capable of producing 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day from six wells in the first phase.
The Kaskida project, located approximately 250 miles southwest of New Orleans in the Keathley Canyon area, is set to unlock 275 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources. The project is part of BP&#39;s larger plan to develop 10 billion barrels of discovered resources in the Kaskida and Tiber catchment areas.
<h2>BP&#39;s Kaskida Project to Feature High-Pressure Technology</h2>
BP&#39;s Kaskida development will be the first in the Gulf of Mexico to utilize well equipment with a pressure rating of up to 20,000 pounds per square inch. This cutting-edge technology is essential for tapping deepwater reservoirs at 34,000 feet below sea level.
The involvement of ABS in this ambitious project highlights its critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of BP&#39;s largest energy development in the United States to date.

While MPLX currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Core Laboratories and VAALCO Energy carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) each.
MPLX derives stable fee-based revenues from long-term contracts, with minimal exposure to commodity-price fluctuations. The partnership&#39;s robust capital expenditure forecast for 2024, along with significant expansion initiatives, underscores its commitment to sustainable growth.
