“We expect STACK will also provide material catalysts over the next 3+ quarters as it transitions from a delineation play to a development play,” the analyst mentioned.

Calio believes the recent disruptions in crude supply have accelerated market re-balancing. Although there could be oil price risks in 2H16 due to the return of outage barrels, the analyst expects the “bridge to a materially high crude price on fundamentals” to be shorter now.

In addition, Calio pointed out that meaningful torque to commodity price recovery offers Marathon Oil the highest multiple compression among its Large Cap E&P peers into $80/bl in 2019, despite a production CAGR of 4 percent.
