So where does an investor stand who wants to invest in oil without taking too many risks? The answer lies in dividend stocks. A steady stream of income is a time-tested way of getting the better of volatility in the markets and uncertainty in returns.

Here are four dividend stocks you should be looking into and that I believe should help you beat the markets in the long run: 1. Seadrill (NYSE: SDRL), 2. Cheniere Energy Partners (AMEX: CQP), 3. Enerplus (NYSE: ERF) and 4. Penn West Petroleum (NYSE: PWE).
