3 Energy Stocks Worth Screening As Oil And Gas Funding Opens Up
World Bank reforms rarely grab headlines for long, yet the latest push to reopen financing for upstream oil and gas, seed nuclear projects, and fast track critical minerals support could quietly reshape where capital flows next. If you care about where future project money might land, this is not a story to ignore. This article breaks down three global energy producers and oilfield services stocks exposed to these shifts, and explains why their setup today deserves a closer look.
The stocks covered next are a small sample of what rises to the top, and the broader screen surfaced 40 more global energy producers and oilfield services companies with equally compelling stories that are not unpacked here.
If you want to identify, compare, and analyze those additional opportunities by your own criteria, head straight into the Global Energy Producers & Oilfield Services screener.
GeoPark (GPRK)
GeoPark fits directly into the screener’s focus on upstream producers, with a pure play Latin American drilling and production model that is already geared toward large scale project funding and long lived reservoirs that could attract fresh multilateral capital.
GeoPark Limited is a Bogotá based oil and gas explorer and producer focused on Latin America, with virtually all of its US$507 million in revenue coming from oil and gas exploration and production activities, and a market value of about US$638 million.
"GeoPark is still rolling out new drilling and extraction technologies, optimized well interventions, and modular field developments. The current program to expand waterflooding and polymer injection in Llanos 34 supports the previous view that lower unit costs and more stable field performance can help protect net margins and operating cash flow."
The key variable for investors is how one large, capital intensive growth phase ultimately feeds through to the cash generation they focus on most.
That cash question is exactly what the full narrative for GeoPark unpacks, showing how GeoPark’s next capital cycle could accelerate, stall, or quietly reshape investor expectations.
National Energy Services Reunited (NESR)
National Energy Services Reunited plugs directly into the Global Energy Producers & Oilfield Services theme, supplying the high intensity completion and drilling work that underpins upstream projects across MENA as multilateral funding and national oil company budgets push more activity into the field.
NESR is a pure-play MENA oilfield services provider, with around US$993 million from Production Services and US$625 million from Drilling and Evaluation Services, and a market value of about US$2.1b.
"NESR’s turnkey direct lithium extraction agreement with Saudi Aramco, which targets 2,000 tonnes per year of battery grade lithium carbonate and is valued at about US$200 million over up to five years starting in late 2027, introduces a new earnings stream in minerals and could shift the mix of revenue and margins toward higher value technology projects."
The real swing factor is how one emerging, higher value line of work ultimately filters through to profitability, cash generation, and investor expectations.
That mix shift is exactly what the full narrative for National Energy Services Reunited unpacks, showing where NESR’s earnings engine could be accelerating, stalling, or quietly decoupling from headline contracts.
Expro (XPRO)
Expro plugs straight into the Global Energy Producers & Oilfield Services theme, handling the well construction and production services that keep offshore and international projects moving when capital flows into upstream activity.
Expro is a global energy services provider focused on well construction and management for onshore and offshore producers, with US$539 million from North and Latin America, US$483 million from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, US$351 million from MENA, US$182 million from Asia-Pacific, and a market value around US$1.8b.
"Expro's robust order intake and expanding backlog are supported by ongoing growth in global energy demand, particularly in international and offshore markets, positioning the company for steady long-term revenue growth as multiyear deepwater and international projects progress."
What happens to Expro’s margins if one unseen pressure on offshore project timing and pricing shifts in either direction?
If that pressure point has your attention, read the full narrative for Expro to see whether Expro’s backlog is quietly masking upside, execution risk, or both.
