• [By Tyler Crowe]

  Baker Hughes' most recent rig count shows U.S. onshore rigs are down by almost 200 year over year. So overall, theindustryis making big strides in efficiency. Some of the most tangible evidence of this, though, is in the Bakken Region. In 2013, Kodiak Oil & Gas (NYSE: KOG  ) is on track to drill more wells than last year, while at the same time spending $35 million less in capital expenditures to do so.

• [By Arjun Sreekumar]

  Not only are operators able to drill wells much faster than before and, in some cases, cheaper than before, many have been able to increase production while employing the same or fewer number of rigs. For instance, Bakken operator Kodiak Oil & Gas (NYSE: KOG  ) reported a drastic reduction in the number of spud-to-rig release days, which were down to the low 20s in the fourth quarter, as compared with nearly 35 in the year-earlier period.!

• [By Dan Caplinger]

The key to making smart investment decisions on stocks reporting earnings is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise. That way, you'll be less likely to make an uninformed knee-jerk reaction to news that turns out to be exactly the wrong move.
