Oppenheimer initiates coverage on REX Energy (NASDAQ: REXX) with an Outperform. PT $14.00.

The firm comments, "Over the past year, REXX's operating focus has shifted toward the Appalachian basin, and specifically the Utica shale. We believe 2012 will be a transformative year for REXX, driven by extensive drilling by the industry de-risking the Utica play. We expect multiple near-term catalysts, including its first results from Carroll County, completion of a two-well pad in the "super-rich" window in Butler County, as well as two upcoming asset sales to result in the shares' outperformance over the next 12-months."

The price target is based on 6x projected cash flow, below the multiples for both COG and RRC, its closest peers in the Appalachian basin.
