Wells Fargo maintains an 'Outperform' on Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) price target range $100-$110.

Analyst, David Tameron, said, "APC delivered another solid quarter of production growth, coming in at 742 Mboe/d, +5.5% Q/Q and well above our 720 Mboe/d estimate. FY12 production guidance revised to 261-265 MMBoe from 258-262; we were at 261 MMBoe. Raise largely on non-op natural gas volumes."

Tameron also noted that APC implied additional Lucius type transactions are likely coming. As for Tronox (Nasdaq: TROX), the Wells analyst, feels the door has been left open for some speculation on potential outcomes, since APC didn't issue an update or increase reserves.

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $3.34 to $3.27 and FY13 from $3.92 to $3.84.
