ExxonMobil - Percieved Difficulties Present A Rare Opportunity
Seekingalpha.com, February 22, 2018: ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) is a more than $300 billion oil company and one of the largest publicly traded oil companies in the world. The company has seen its stock price drop by almost 15% on the back of a rough earnings announcement recently, however, as we will see in this article, the company's deceptively strong results, growth potential, and commitment to shareholders make now a good time to buy.
ExxonMobil Deceptively Strong Results
ExxonMobil has a top-tier asset base that helps to justify the company's premium valuation. As an investor, this asset base represents, to me, the stability of the company's cash flow going forward.

The Impact Of Gazprom's China-Russia Gas Pipeline
Oilprice.com, February 17, 2018:
Gazprom's Power of Siberia pipeline is more than two-thirds complete. It will be delivering gas to China by the end of this year. A second pipeline is still under discussion.
A report yesterday from Alex Mercouris at The Duran noted some frustration from China over the irregular liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies coming from its contract partners in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
It seems the Turkemi and Uzbek governments are shaking down China for better prices because gas demand in Western China's autonomous regions is growing rapidly. Complicating matters is the tough winter in Europe which spiked LNG demand there as well.

In the deepwater versus shale oil contest, Shell backs both
Euronews.com, February 20, 2018:
LONDON (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell <
RDSa.L> will expand deepwater output and turn a profit from its shale production in coming years as both together will help the oil major cope with a world of low crude prices, the head of its oil and gas production said on Tuesday.
Shell's deepwater production in Brazil, Nigeria, the Gulf of Mexico is much bigger and more profitable, but the firm sees the nimble, fast-returns U.S. onshore shale as an engine for growth.
"We can see strong (shale) production growth, strong cash surpluses that gives us a balance in our portfolio where you can ramp investment up and down, you can moderate that, very unlike deepwater which is quite chunky," Andy Brown told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the IP Week conference.

Emerson: Empowering the digital workforce of the future
Isa.org, February 20, 2018: Over the past 30 years, advances in automation have done fantastic things for the manufacturing sector in terms of reliability, safety, and operational efficiency. But today, despite all the hype about the promise of the Internet of Things, the industry has reached a point where those gains are leveling off. Manufacturers cannot simply "efficiency their way" to top-quartile performance any longer.
In this environment, managers have the relentless pressure to do more with less. Do they cut back on staff and ask more of the workers they keep? Will the sensational headlines claiming that automation kills jobs come true? These reports routinely miss the big picture. History has taught that while technology can unsettle the current nature of work, disruption consistently brings new opportunities for value and net employment growth, not loss. Capitalizing on these opportunities means not only investing in technology, but also fundamentally transforming the way you do business. But while it is clear manufacturers understand the need to evolve, many struggle to find a predictable path forward.

Russia, Saudi Arabia Boost Economic Ties With Energy Memorandum
Caspiannews.com, February 22, 2018: The geopolitics of the Middle East have changed dramatically over the past seven years, since the Arab Spring and Syrian civil war. But not all is war and politics.
Major energy deals between Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, and Russia - the largest producer outside the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) - are also reshaping alliances in the region, and a high-level visit to Riyadh by senior Russian officials last week helped bring Russo-Saudi ties into focus.
On Monday, the Saudi Arabian National Oil Company known as Aramco and Russia's Novatek signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on projects in the natural gas sector, according to a press release posted to the Russian company's website.

Africa remains promising market for Russian industrial goods
Realnoevremya.com, February 22, 2018: In recent years, Russia has been seeking to increase exports of its industrial products to markets of Latin America, Asia and Africa. However, there are several issues that complicate business partnership, such as a lack of interaction at a business level and rather low competitiveness of Russian goods.
In the promising African market, Russia has to confront competition from Western players and Asian countries such as China, India and the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, considers Modern Diplomacy. The Kremlin is interested in Latin American, Asian and African markets as an opportunity to secure Russia's economic interests abroad and support Russian industries in the context of Western sanctions. Although the Soviet Union had strong ties with the African continent and made a significant contribution to the social and economic development of African countries, the relations came to a standstill in the 1990s. Currently, Russia's foreign trade turnover with Africa amounts to rather modest $12bn.

Yandex launches its own carsharing service
Tass.com, February 23, 2018: Russia's Yandex launched a carsharing service in Moscow and the Moscow Region through the Yandex. Drive application, the company said on Wednesday. Yandex car fleet totals 750 vehicles for the moment and will continue growing, it reported. Yandex plans to launch an in-house carsharing service became known as early as in December 2017. The Yandex. Drive carsharing application was made available for downloading to iOS and Android last December. Carsharing is a component of Yandex geo-services.
"Carsharing has already become a portion of the transport infrastructure in many cities. We believe therefore that our expertise and technologies in the transport sphere will contribute to its development in Russia," head of Yandex geo-services Roman Chernin said in a comment.
The price of the per-minute car leasing via the Yandex. Drive will start from five rubles ($0.08) and will be driven by traffic and demand for cars. Furthermore, a fixed rate with the travel price computed in advance will be launched soon in a test mode. All tariffs comprise the cost of gasoline, parking, and insurance.

Russian diesel locomotives arrive in Cuba
Rt.com, February 23, 2018: A second batch of Russian locomotives, comprising eight vehicles, has arrived in the port of Havana this week, according to the head of the Russian engineering company Sinara Transport Machines (STM).
Gennady Dotsenko told TASS that 28 additional units (in four batches) will be delivered to Cuba this year. "We are planning to unload seven diesel locomotives in March and expect them to reach Havana in late May or early June," he said.
The first batch of seven diesel locomotives of the TGM8KM series was delivered to the Caribbean island in November. As part of the contract signed by STM and the Cuban import agency Tradex, Russia will supply 75 locomotives to the country by the end of 2021.
Cuban Union Railways (UFC) already operates a fleet of Russian diesel-hydraulic locomotives, which are mainly used to haul sugar trains. UFC hauls 16 million tons of freight per year for the sugar industry.
The new locomotives are primarily destined for this purpose, as the present fleet is ageing, but UFC plans to deploy the new trains for other services, including passenger operations.

Russian grain exports near record of 50mn tons
Rt.com, February 20, 2018: The growing production of grain in Russia is boosting the country's exports, which are close to a record 50 million tons this year according to the director of the SovEcon analytical center, Andrey Sizov.
The director said that the country exported 48 million tons between July 2017 and the end of January 2018.
Last year, the country ceded its status of leading wheat exporter to the United States. The Russian Agriculture Ministry expects to regain the status by the end of this agricultural year [July 2017 - June 2018]. It forecasts grain exports to be 45 million tons against 35.5 million tons in the previous year.
Overall, agricultural production in Russia is projected to grow three percent this year, from last year's 120.7 million tons. That would be the best-ever harvest for Russia, even counting the Soviet era.

The cosmetics company selling Siberia to the world
BBC.com, February 22, 2018: If it wasn't for the intoxicating smell of competing perfumes, you might think that cosmetics company Natura Siberica was making ice cream.
At its factory in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, large vats of shampoo the colour of raspberry ripple soft scoop are being whipped into a smooth consistency.
Nearby, a body cream that looks like mint yoghurt is being slowly churned in a large metal cylinder, and a worker is adding dried berries to gallons of body rub that could be strawberry sorbet.
Founded in 2008, Natura Siberica is a Russian company that makes a wide range of organic hair and skincare products made with extracts from herbs grown and harvested across the vast and remote Russian province of Siberia.
