The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLE (NYSE:)) saw a rise of nearly 1%, and concurrently, the United States Oil Fund (NYSEARCA:NYSE:) and the United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSEARCA:UNG) also experienced a surge, appreciating by 1.1% and 1% respectively.<\/p>\n<p> also registered substantial gains. The front-month US West Texas Intermediate crude oil increased by 1.6%, reaching $89.96 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Internationally, the global benchmark North Sea (NYSE:) crude advanced by 1.5% to $93.25 per barrel. Simultaneously,  recorded a significant jump of 3.8%, settling at $2.78 per 1 million BTU.<\/p>\n<p>In corporate news, Vital Energy (NASDAQ:VTLE) reported a drop of over 5%. This decline followed the company&#8217;s announcement that it had signed three agreements to acquire assets in the Permian Basin for a sum of $1.17 billion, payable in cash and stock. The acquisition will increase Vital Energy&#8217;s holdings by an additional 53,000 net acres and will add proven reserves of 248 million barrels of oil equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>Transocean (NYSE:NYSE:), conversely, saw its stock rise by more than 2%. The increase was triggered by the company&#8217;s disclosure that it had secured a three-year drilling contract valued at $486 million for its new ultra-deepwater drillship, Deepwater Aquila. The contract, awarded by a national oil company for offshore work in Brazil, is set to commence in Q3 of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In another development, BP (NYSE:NYSE:) has reportedly begun its search for a new chief executive following Bernard Looney&#8217;s departure from the position on Tuesday. This news seemed to positively impact BP&#8217;s stock, which observed an upward movement of over 1% in Thursday&#8217;s premarket activity.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.
