The oil and gas sector has shown considerable signs of improvement after experiencing a brief dip in the last quarter of 2011. In fact, 2011 was not a good year for the oil and gas sector, or for any of the stocks listed within it. However, the oil and gas sector market outlook for 2012 depicts a different story. The oil and gas sector is suggested to show a positive trend, which will remain on a long-term range. But the fact that the sector suffers from volatility should not be discarded. The sector to a great extent depends on the global movements in oil and gas prices. Moreover, the political tensions prevailing on the global scenario can have great impact on oil prices.
With analysts favoring the oil and gas sector, many stocks have regained after suffering a fall in 2011. Apart from the stock fundamentals, one should also explore the future prospects associated with the respective companies, so as to ascertain one's buying decisions for the stocks.

These stocks are prominent stocks in the sector suggesting strong future prospects either through their fundamentals or through their making of acquisitions.
