I am looking for energy stocks to buy for the long term. Any suggestions?

I am looking for companies with strong financials that can make it through the hard times that are upon us. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I still like SDRL. They have the newest fleet of drill ships in the GOM and I read an article not long ago that said they have enough cash to "float" for 2 years. The stock has gotten absolutely hammered the past year or so, but at $3.75, I think it's a long term value.

EOG is starting to look good to me again. The stock is just over $70 right now, and my limit order would trigger at $69. Earlier this year I rode it up from 69.82 to 86.95 before selling.

On a relative basis among the shale players, EOG has good acreage, balance sheet, and corporate culture (efficient and engaged). I don't know what their stock price will be in 6 months, but I expect them to survive the downturn and have a much higher stock price when oil prices turn around. I'm planning to buy and hold unless the stock price shoot up oddly again.

If you can wait a few months, a lot of reserves are going to disappear off of the balance sheets of oil companies in the US since they can't be profitably produced. At that point, you'll know which ones have good real book value. Plus, you can compare the new stated reserves and compare them to the reserves stated a year ago. That information will be very valuable for a number of reasons.

Oh, I forgot to mention, EOG is Enron Oil & Gas. What could possibly go wrong?
