Blue Line Capital&#8217;s&nbsp;Bill Baruch&nbsp;is trimming Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock and putting the money to work <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy-stocks">in energy names</a>.
What Happened: Tuesday on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Fast Money Halftime Report,&#8221; Baruch announced that he cut back positions in Tesla and Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) and used the funds to add to positions in Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>).
Tesla shares are up more than 20% over the past month and just turned positive for the year this week. The sentiment around Tesla has been &#8220;pretty poor,&#8221; but Baruch is beginning to notice a shift as the EV maker heads into its upcoming robotaxi event on Oct. 10.
Baruch told CNBC that he&#8217;s been adding to his <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">Tesla position</a> on weakness. Given the recent surge in shares, Tesla grew too large in his portfolio so he decided to trim about 25% of his stake, he said. Tesla is also battling technical resistance around current levels, which made taking profit an even easier decision, he added. 
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41000762/tesla-says-model-y-is-the-best-selling-ev-in-norway-with-over-60k-units-on-road">Tesla Says Model Y Is The Best-Selling EV In Norway With Over 60K Units On Road</a>
Baruch also sold out of his <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/slb">Schlumberger</a> position for a loss in order to use those losses against some of his gains in Tesla. 
&#8220;SLB was really a tax harvesting loss to that Tesla profit trade. And what we&#8217;re doing is reallocating these monies to energy,&#8221; Baruch said. 
Why It Matters: The Blue Line Capital founder told CNBC that 13% of his firm&#8217;s portfolio is weighted to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy">energy</a>. That didn&#8217;t stop him from adding to Exxon Mobil.
Baruch noted that managed money in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wti-crude-oil">Crude oil futures</a> has gone net short over the last month or so. When negativity starts to pile up, he suggested that a bottom is usually near.
&#8220;Exxon is really cheap. We owned Pioneer Natural Resources before this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40335015/exxon-mobil-reduces-staff-after-pioneer-merger-report">acquisition</a> and we really like the synergies there. I think Exxon has really outperformed within the space,&#8221; Baruch said. 
Baruch also increased his exposure to Kinder Morgan as he believes more and more people are going to start talking about the <a href="http://benzinga.com/topic/ai">energy requirements of AI.</a>
&#8220;Power is going to be a big thing with AI. We really believe in natural gas and the movement, logistically, getting natural gas in order to generate power. Kinder Morgan is going to be right in the thick of that,&#8221; Baruch said. 
TSLA, SLB, XOM, KMI Price Action: At publication time, Tesla shares were up 1.23% at $253.08, Schlumberger shares were up 0.41% at $43.08, Kinder Morgan shares were up 0.07% at $22.21 and Exxon Mobil shares were down 0.15% at $117.19, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

SLB OneSubsea, the JV backed by SLB, Aker Solutions and Subsea7, will provide an integrated subsea system, including electric actuation and wireless telemetry, to support the 18-month field test of C-Power&#39;s SeaRAY autonomous offshore power system (AOPS). This project has garnered the support of the U.S. Department of Energy, further cementing its importance in advancing renewable ocean energy technologies.
C-Power&#39;s CEO, Reenst Lesemann, emphasized the significance of the collaboration, noting that Subsea Integration Alliance partners SLB OneSubsea and Subsea7 are leaders in subsea products and services. He pointed out that both companies align with C-Power&#39;s vision for reducing the cost, complexity and carbon intensity of offshore operations through remote power generation and data communications.
<h2>SLB OneSubsea and C-Power to Conduct Field Test</h2>
The field test will be conducted at the PacWave South wave energy site offshore Newport, OR, to evaluate the long-term reliability of C-Power&#39;s SeaRAY AOPS in the challenging ocean environment. The system is aimed at powering and supporting autonomous underwater vehicles, robotics, operational equipment and satellite communications, gathering valuable data for the progress of the project.
<h2>Exploring SLB OneSubsea&#39;s Potential for Sustainable Energy</h2>
SLB noted that the joint industry project will focus on digitalization, electrification and fiber optic sensors to explore how wave energy can be integrated into subsea operations. SLB OneSubsea&#39;s CEO, Mads Hjelmeland, highlighted that collaboration and innovation are crucial for achieving significant improvements in cost and carbon efficiency, paving the way for a sustainable energy future.
In June, C-Power added Scotland&#39;s Green Marine to its Partner Engagement and Co-development program, showcasing the growing interest in advancing the SeaRAY AOPS technology for broader offshore applications.
By combining resources and expertise, SLB, Subsea7 and C-Power aim to accelerate the adoption of ocean energy solutions, which can play a pivotal role in reducing the carbon footprint of subsea operations globally.

VOO ETF Update, 9/27/2024

Owing to robust global demand, continuous OPEC supply cuts, and advancing economic growth, the oil and gas market is experiencing solid growth. Hence, investing in fundamentally solid oil and gas stocks Schlumberger (SLB), Cenovus Energy (CVE), and APA (APA), which are poised for high upside, could be ideal. Read more... Global oil and gas industry prospects appears promising, with demand in developing economies across the globe and geopolitical tensions stirring prices constantly. Also, the growing population worldwide, urbanization, and expanding use of oil and gas are opening new opportunities for market growth.
Against this backdrop, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally strong oil &amp; gas stocks Schlumberger Limited (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SLB/">SLB</a>), Cenovus Energy Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CVE/">CVE</a>), and APA Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/APA/">APA</a>) poised for solid upside.
Recently, the <a href="https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/press_room/7377.htm">OPEC launched its 2024 OPEC World Oil Outlook (WOO)</a>. Under the publication, the timeframe has been extended to 2050, where energy demand is set to increase by 24%, and oil demand is expected to reach 120.1 million barrels a day by the end of the forecast period.
According to Reuters, the raised forecast for world oil demand in the medium and long term is <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/opec-rolls-out-global-oil-outlook-2050-sees-no-peak-demand-2024-09-24/">driven by developing world growth</a> led by India, Africa, and the Middle East and a slower shift to electric vehicles and cleaner fuels.
Also, in the first half of 2024, the <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/gas-market-report-q3-2024">natural gas market</a> grew at a rate above the historical average. The demand in the market was primarily fueled by higher gas use in industry and is increasingly concentrated in Asia. With geopolitical tensions increasing price volatility, natural gas demand is forecast to grow 2.5% in 2024, driven by fast-growing Asian markets.
In the second quarter, a total of 240 deals were announced, having a disclosed value of $67 billion, representing strong <a href="https://www.kroll.com/en/insights/publications/valuation/global-oil-and-gas-m-and-a-outlook-q2-2024">global oil and gas M&amp;A activities</a>.
Besides, the <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php">Brent crude oil spot price averaged $82</a> per barrel (b) during August. This marked the eighth consecutive month where the prices averaged between $80/b and $90/b. Also, the EIA further expects prices to rise and remain in a high range owing to the ongoing withdrawals from global oil inventories stemming from OPEC+ production cuts.
Considering the encouraging industry trends, let's delve into the fundamentals of solid oil &amp; gas stocks such as SLB, CVE, and APA.
