The stock of Cameron International (CAM), first discussed here on April 24, 2009 at a price of $25.59, remains on the move: the stock has risen from about $42 to test $60 today, and I obviously still like the share at this stage.

Oil/natural gas servicer Cameron is benefiting from the Obama's administration revised blowout preventer safety rules, as oil companies conform to the new standards. Cameron's orders increased 30% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 2009.

Further, new technology that's likely to increase natural gas drilling and production (via a new technique called hydraulic fracturing) in North America also holds the promise of increased valve business for CAM. And Cameron's recent purchase of Natco Group, an energy capital equipment company, will increase international business.

Cameron (CAM) logo"The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is likely to have positive ramifications for Cameron International (CAM)," says energy sector specialist Elliott Gue.

The editor of The Energy Strategist explains, "The political fallout could usher in stringent regulations governing blowout preventers (BOP), subsea equipment and redundant safety systems on rigs.

"Such an outcome would be consistent with past experience in the energy industry. After the Exxon Valdez spill, the government pushed oil companies to use double-hull tankers and phase out single hulls.

I wrote about considering taking some profits off the table with Cameron International (CAM) here on April 24, 2009, when the stock was at a price of $25.59. It proved to be a prudent warning, as CAM soon dropped from highs near $48 to about $31 in June, largely due to jitters about the deepwater offshore oil drilling sector.

However, Cameron has since popped back above the key, 50-day moving average, and I obviously still like the shares here.

Cameron should benefit from the Obama administration's likely, revised blowout preventer safety rules, as oil companies conform to the new standards.

Oil is no longer flowing from the Deep Horizon well into the Gulf of Mexico, and investors are starting to take another look at the oil industry.

One oil stock that is standing out right now is Cameron International (CAM), which provides drilling systems and equipment -- like the now infamous blowout preventers.

Goldman Sachs just upgraded Cameron to a Buy rating and added the stock to its Conviction Buy List saying, "we expect Cameron to be one of the key beneficiaries of any renewed focus on oil services."

Time to sell CAM?Cameron International (CAM), which I first wrote about on April 24, 2009 at a price of $25.59, is up more than 80%, hence I think it's perfectly acceptable to take some profits off the table at this juncture.

Meanwhile, those investors who can tolerate the risk could retain those shares and go for an even bigger gain.

Look for Cameron to continue to benefit from longer-term demand for oil field capital equipment and deep-water support equipment on ramping oil demand in the immediate years ahead. Further, new technology that's likely to increase natural gas drilling and production (via a technology called hydraulic fracturing) in North America also holds out the promise of increased valve business for CAM. And Cameron's recent purchase of Natco Group, an energy capital equipment company, will increase international business.

The Obama administration's promise to create a more self-reliant, energy-independent nation and the impact of efforts to first limit, then eliminate global warming from fossil fuels opens the door to alternative energy source development.

But, as Saudi Arabia reminds us, and the world, barring a breakthrough technology, fossil fuels will remain a major energy source for at least the next thirty to fifty years. In other words, oil is down now, but it's not out, and so Cameron International Corporation (NYSE: CAM) is worth a review.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says lots of companies now thrive with crude up here.

Oil's not a tax on everything -- it's a tax on the consumer. That's what I come down to when I see the charts this weekend and ponder what's happening in so much of industrial America.

Company after company that I examine -- the new techs, as I call them -- actually benefit from higher oil prices. Or they can pass them on with ease, because of the worldwide demand being so strong.

Take all of the companies involved with making a Boeing (NYSE: BA) (Cramer's Take): Boeing itself, Alcoa (NYSE: AA) (Cramer's Take), Honeywell (NYSE: HON) (Cramer's Take) and Precision Castparts (NYSE: PCP) (Cramer's Take) being good examples. Each of these is necessary because the new Dreamliner burns lots less fuel, and with fuel the biggest airline cost, it stands to reason that higher energy prices make the plane more desirable even at a higher price point.

Or how about all of the companies involved with process and flow control and efficient motors: Parker-Hannifin (NYSE: PH) (Cramer's Take), Emerson (NYSE: EMR) (Cramer's Take), Eaton (NYSE: ETN) (Cramer's Take) and Flowserve (NYSE: FLS) (Cramer's Take). Those work higher with higher energy prices. CSX (NYSE: CSX) (Cramer's Take), Burlington Northern (NYSE: BNI) (Cramer's Take), Kansas City Southern (NYSE: KSU) (Cramer's Take), Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) (Cramer's Take) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) (Cramer's Take) are smaller energy users than trucks, and they ship plenty of ethanol and fertilizer.
