This has a significant effect on operating earnings and earnings per share, effects which most screeners do not (and can not) take into account.

Onshore, my favorite play is the Utica Shale, in which my top plays are Gulfport Energy Corp. (GPOR) and Rex Energy Corp. (REXX). Both companies have highly economic acreage, solid balance sheets and industry-leading production growth. I also like Rex Energy for its likely production upside. Another one of my favorite plays is the Eagle Ford Shale, in which my top plays are Penn Virginia Corp. (PVA) and Sanchez Energy Corp. (SN). Both have core acreage in the region, improving operating results and experienced management. Another favorite name of mine is Midstates Petroleum Co. Inc. (MPO). The company has assets in three solid plays and a management team with a long successful track record. Those are my favorite names at this time.

However, interest in GTL continues to grow. In December, South African energy firm Sasol (NYSE: SSL ) said that it would build the first commercial GTL facility in the U.S. The Johannesburg-based company has pinpointed Louisiana as the plant's chosen location due to that state's copious�reserves of natural gas, and said it expects production from the facility to begin in 2018.

Sasol (NYSE: SSL ) gained just 5%. The South-Africa-based energy and chemical giant sports a dividend yield recently near 5%. Instead of being an ordinary explorer or refiner of oil, it specializes in coal-to-liquid technology and gas-to-liquid technology, producing liquid fuels such as diesel. With a forward P/E ratio around 8 and well below its five-year average of 13, the stock seems attractively priced. Sasol's geographic diversification spreads its risks around, but it also faces some challenges, such as the fact that a big chunk of its workforce carries HIV.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matt DiLallo]
The problem here is that SandRidge has been�dependent�on asset sales and its running out of assets to sell. In addition to the Permian sale, SandRidge has now taken three royalty trusts public. One consisting of Permian Basin assets, SandRidge Permian Trust (NYSE: PER ) and two consisting of Mississippian assets, SandRidge Mississippian Trust I (NYSE: SDT ) and SandRidge Mississippian Trust II (NYSE: SDR ) . While SandRidge still owns a portion of each trust, it likely will continue to sell off its ownership stake in each trust as well as other assets it still owns. At some point SandRidge will need to live within its oil and gas cash flows, otherwise, its not worth owning.�
