Stock quotes in this article:HAL, CVX, EPB, EXXI, SLB, IOC, SNP 

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Energy XXI (Bermuda)(EXXI), Halliburton(HAL), Chevron(CVX), El Paso Pipeline Partners(EPB), Complete Production Services(CPX), Sinopec(SNP), Schlumberger(SLB) and InterOil Corporation(IOC) have up to 100% buy ratings, as per a Bloomberg consensus estimate.

Improved consumer spending has eased the concerns of declining demand for oil from the world's largest economy. Crude oil gained over 2% to settle at two-week highs with WTI prices hovering at around $87.3 per barrel at close Monday. Oil prices firmed during the last one week, getting a push from Hurricane Irene.

These eight stocks from the energy sector could generate a mean return of 47% over the next one year. They have outperformed the Dow in the last one year gaining 34% compared to the latter's 14% increase. The stocks are arranged in the ascending order of buy ratings.
