ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – DETAILED COMMENTS 04/14/2022

Like the Lend-Lease policy enacted during the Second World War to provide friendly countries with weapons and equipment without intervening directly in the conflict, the US is offering to largely stand in for imports of Russian gas. LNG, in particular produced in the US, therefore seems to have a bright future with an entire chain needing to be built. Within this framework, we prefer Shell and Total Energies, OCTG manufacturers like Vallourec as well as oil services players such as Te...
