Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of oil after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs. The commodity may be experiencing strength amid escalating conflict between Pakistan and India.

Transocean, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) released its first-quarter results after Monday's closing bell. Here's a look at the details<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g45052677/transocean-ltd-reports-first-quarter-2025-results"> from the report. </a>
The Details: Transocean reported first-quarter losses of 10 cents per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate for losses of nine cents. Quarterly revenue clocked in at $906 million, beating the consensus estimate of $885.7 million.

For the first quarter, Transocean reported: 
<ul>
<li>Contract drilling revenues for the quarter decreased sequentially by $46 million to $906 million. </li>
<li>Operating and maintenance expense was $618 million, compared with $579 million in the prior quarter. The sequential increase was the result of an unfavorable legal outcome in the first quarter, a favorable legal settlement in the fourth quarter and increased costs related to a rig in shipyard, partially offset by lower in-service maintenance costs across the fleet.</li>
<li>General and administrative expense was $50 million, down from $56 million in the fourth quarter, due primarily to decreased legal and professional fees.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;The Transocean team delivered a solid quarter, with an adjusted EBITDA of $244 million on revenues of $906 million,&#8221; said CEO Jeremy Thigpen. &#8220;We also improved our balance sheet with the repayment of $210 million in outstanding debt.&#8221;
&#8220;While uncertain macroeconomic conditions have resulted in near-term market volatility, including commodity prices, Transocean is very well-positioned to navigate this evolving landscape.&nbsp;In addition to continuing to deliver strong operating performance across our highly contracted fleet, we remain engaged in constructive conversations with our customers on opportunities several years in the future,&#8221; Thigpen added. 
RIG Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Transocean stock was up 1.30% after-hours at $2.31 on Monday.

Earnings Preview For Transocean

Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) today issued a quarterly Fleet Status Report that provides the current status of, and contract information for, the company's fleet of offshore drilling rigs.
As of April 16, 2025, the company's total backlog is approximately $7.9 billion.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The report can be accessed on the company's website: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=EvUt4MLex7OCxpfPca94mW3utheSVDYZMytJDYCOhyOUAMI2vQFgQfK86OM0e0ilb4ipk6PNOo1Z09XEFYLj7MjLme7THSuvpX6KJRCn8Qc=">www.deepwater.com</a>.

Transocean Ltd. Provides Quarterly Fleet Status Report; Says As Of April 16, 2025, The Company's Total Backlog Is ~$7.9B

Brent crude prices rose over the $65-per-barrel level on Monday before retreating slightly, supported by changing geopolitical currents and guarded optimism in the equity markets. The rally in Brent crude, triggered by renewed US-Iran diplomacy and a partial lull in trade war hostilities, brought <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">energy-themed ETFs</a> back into focus, despite lingering concerns about oversupply and weakening global demand.

Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)
The broadest energy equity benchmark in the U.S., XLE, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">picked up steam as oil rose</a>. With heavyweights like ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) in its portfolio, the fund reflects crude benchmarks. Its exposure to oil majors with strong dividend yields also makes it a popular bet during periods of geopolitical realignment — such as the Oman negotiations that could remake Gulf oil diplomacy.
iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>)
IEO targets exploration and production companies — the most oil-price-sensitive sub-sector. The slight rebound in Brent, driven by the White House&#8217;s brief reprieve from tariffs on technology products and optimism for resumed Middle East diplomacy, has lent new life to small- and mid-cap E&amp;P stocks. ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) is one of its top holdings. However, the rally might be fleeting, with OPEC lowering its growth and lowering demand projections for oil consumption. Reuters reported that OPEC has lowered its world economic growth forecast this year to 3.0% from 3.1% and cut next year&#8217;s to 3.1% from 3.2%. 
SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Equipment &amp; Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XES#NYSE">XES</a>)
Oilfield service companies, like those held in XES, are often the last to reap the benefits of higher prices because of capital spending cycles. The shock OPEC+ cut to accelerate output recovery might trigger upstream activity, indirectly benefiting service providers like Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDW#NYSE">TDW</a>) and Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>), one of this fund&#8217;s top holdings.
A Diplomatic Thaw
The weekend witnessed a thaw in US-Iran<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-steady-trump-tariff-reprieve-223603774.html"> relations as senior officials</a> from both countries held talks in Oman — the first senior-level meeting since 2022. While information is still limited, the tone of the conversation was said to be &#8220;constructive,&#8221; hinting at a possible blueprint to restart stalled talks on Tehran&#8217;s nuclear program. The two sides committed to another meeting, injecting new optimism into a region long influenced by volatility and oil market instability.
Though a long-term deal is far from certain, even the potential for diplomatic breakthrough has moderated concerns about supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil flows. Meanwhile, it also raised questions about whether Iranian crude oil might return to the market in significant quantities, making an already tenuous supply-demand balance even more complicated.
The Bigger Picture
The oil price rally, though propelled by newsworthy catalysts such as tariff delays and diplomatic talks, is confronted with structural headwinds. Nevertheless, ETF investors seem to be content to ride the volatility, particularly with equities mounting a parallel rebound and safe-haven assets lagging.
Investors are now focusing keenly on rig count trends and Q2 CapEx releases to assess the real-world effect of the Brent bounce. According to recent data by the Energy Information Administration, Baker Hughes found that for the week ending April 1, the natural gas rig count dropped to 96 rigs from 103 rigs in the prior week. Typically, lower rigs mean tightened supply, which in turn means upward pressure on oil prices.
On the other hand, banks slashed their price forecasts, with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. now seeing Brent at $66 this year and Goldman Sachs expecting an average of $63, as the crude market continues to be poised to encounter substantial surpluses.
While the geopolitical board game is still unfolding, energy ETFs are an on-again, off-again — albeit volatile — strategy on oil&#8217;s journey through 2025.
