3 Oil And Gas Stocks To Research As Hormuz Supply Risk Reshapes Crude Prices

Geopolitical risk in the Strait of Hormuz has shifted from background noise to front-page story, with reported mine strikes on oil tankers and fresh attacks on regional energy assets unsettling supply routes. That kind of disruption can quickly reshape pricing power, sentiment and capital flows. This piece walks through 3 stocks from our Global Oil & Gas Producers screener that are closely exposed to this news and explains how that exposure could help or hurt investors.

The three stocks profiled next are only a sample pulled from this idea. The full Global Oil & Gas Producers screen surfaced 13 more companies with similarly complex stories that are not covered below. To see that broader field and identify which businesses you want to research further, go straight to the Global Oil & Gas Producers screener.

Vietnam National Petroleum Group (HOSE:PLX)

Overview: Vietnam National Petroleum Group imports, exports, and distributes petroleum products across Vietnam and abroad, with additional businesses in transport, petrochemicals, lubricants, and related services.

Operations: Most revenue comes from the petroleum segments at about ₫256,877,041 million and ₫212,959,839 million, largely within Vietnam at roughly ₫311,750,318 million.

Market Cap: ₫43,200b

Vietnam National Petroleum Group provides exposure to oil supply chains rather than upstream drilling, with earnings linked to product flows and trading volumes. Recent revenue and profit figures indicate meaningful scale in Vietnam’s fuel market along with active import and export activity. A key consideration is how changes in less visible pressures on regulated downstream pricing and trading margins could affect the business.

Those cross currents make it worth checking the DCF valuation analysis for Vietnam National Petroleum Group to see how current cash flow assumptions stack up against that shifting margin risk.

Journey Energy (TSX:JOY)

Overview: Journey Energy is a Calgary based upstream producer that drills for crude oil and natural gas in Canada, giving investors direct exposure to commodity price swings tied to global supply shifts.

Operations: Revenue currently comes entirely from Canada at about CA$180 million, reflecting a focused upstream oil and gas portfolio within a single commodity sensitive market.

Market Cap: CA$380 million

Journey Energy fits directly into the Global Oil & Gas Producers theme because its upstream wells are closely tied to crude pricing, which can move sharply when the Strait of Hormuz looks fragile. Its recent earnings growth, a P/E below many producers, and rising index visibility present one way to express a view on how changes in pressures within the oil market may affect the company.

Those shifts can be hard to price, so go straight to the analysis report for Journey Energy to see where Journey Energy might be misread by the market.

Riley Exploration Permian (REPX)

Overview: Riley Exploration Permian is an independent producer focused on drilling and pumping oil and gas in Texas and New Mexico, providing direct upstream exposure to global crude price movements tied to supply disruptions.

Operations: Riley Exploration Permian generates about US$483.86 million from oil and gas exploration and production activities, entirely from assets in the United States.

Market Cap: US$1.15 billion

Riley Exploration Permian fits within the Global Oil & Gas Producers theme because its Permian wells are influenced by crude pricing and upstream margins. As a result, operational decisions around where and how it grows production can be important for investors monitoring Middle East supply risk.

"The shift in development activity toward New Mexico, combined with infrastructure projects such as expanded saltwater disposal and oil gathering systems, is expected to support higher oil volumes over several years and feed through to revenue."

There is also the question of what happens if one less visible pressure on Riley Exploration Permian’s cost base and cash returns develops differently from what current plans assume.

If that pressure point matters to you, read the full narrative for Riley Exploration Permian to see how Riley Exploration Permian’s capital plans and cash cycles could be accelerating unseen.
