While it reported a first-quarter 2022 net loss of $241 million, Ovintiv Inc. still managed a 25% increase in its quarterly dividend. And it plans more drilling activity in Oklahoma.
Look for Ovintiv to be active in Oklahoma as the company stated it expects to spend $350 to $400 million in the Anadarko Basin. Much of the firm’s activity in the Anadarko was in the STACK play where it reported major producers in Kingfisher County.
Ovintiv had average production in the Anadarko of 120 MBOE/d with 61% liquids in the first quarter. It averaged three gross rigs, drilled 13 net wells and had 18 net wells turned in line. During the quarter, Ovintiv also completed four wells in the Anadarko with a lateral length greater than 15,000 feet.

ZURICH (Reuters) -Siemens will quit the Russian market due to the war in Ukraine, it said on Thursday, taking a 600 million euro ($630 million) hit to its business during the second quarter, with more costs to come.
The German industrial and technology group became the latest multinational to announce losses linked to its decision to leave Russia following the Feb. 24 invasion.
The Munich company employs 3,000 people in Russia, where it has been active for 170 years. It first went to Russia in 1851 to deliver devices for the telegraph line between Moscow and St Petersburg.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday was given a vote of confidence by lawmakers. The Senate voted to confirm Powell to a second four-year term that will end in February 2026. The vote on final confirmation was 80 to 19. Thirteen Republicans voted against Powell along with six progressive Democrats.
After two months of growing speculation, President Joe Biden decided in late November to give Powell a second term. Analysts said Biden didn’t have much choice given the bipartisan support that Powell enjoyed.
Before moving on Powell’s nomination, Senate Democrats confirmed three other Biden picks to the Fed’s board.
Opinion: The S&P 500’s charts are pointing to more stock-market losses

This past week, the S&P 500 index plunged to new relative lows. It is now trading at prices last seen in March 2021. This latest move downward violated support at 4100-4200 and prompted a swift move down toward possible support at 3900. The next support area below that is 3700 – the lows of February and March 2021.
The S&P SPX, 0.10% is quite oversold, although as readers know, “oversold does not mean buy.” Even so, oversold rallies accompany bear markets. They usually top out at about the level of the declining 20-day moving average or perhaps slightly above that.
The bulls have tried to engineer a couple of oversold rallies of late, but they turned out to be one-day affairs that – while looking spectacular for one day – had no staying power.
