Oil and gas | NOT RATED

Roiled by a year that began with crude at a 12-year low and ended with a surprise Opec agreement boosting prices, US producers including Continental Resources Inc and Pioneer Natural Resources Co are promising not to overreact - or overspend.
The temptation will be strong: a recovery in prices has already spurred drilling activity in the United States to the highest since January.
