Texas Acquisition Shows Shift of Gas Producers to Oil Investment - OilPrice.com

Natural gas prices have fallen more than 25% this year to below $4 a million British thermal units while oil prices have risen 8% and are now testing the $85 a barrel level, with some analysts forecasting $90 to $100 a barrel for later this year. The price ratio between the two fossil fuels has widened to more than 20-to-1 after staying closer to 10-to-1 in the past, even when oil rose to $147 a barrel.

SandRidge CEO Tom Ward said last month at the Howard Weil Energy Conference that companies can make “10 times more money” producing oil rather than gas. SandRidge has been acquiring oil properties over the past two years to achieve greater balance.
