EOG Resources Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) (EOG) today reported its third quarter 2009 operating and financial results. For the third quarter, EOG reported net income available to common stockholders of $4.2 million, or $0.02 per share. This compares to third quarter 2008 net income available to common stockholders of $1,556.3 million, or $6.20 per share.

 

The results for the third quarter 2009 included a previously disclosed $20.9 million ($13.4 million after tax, or $0.05 per share) net gain on the mark-to-market of financial commodity transactions. During the quarter, the net cash inflow related to financial commodity contracts was $331.2 million ($213.1 million after tax, or $0.84 per share). Consistent with some analysts' practice of matching realizations to settlement months, adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the quarter was $203.9 million, or $0.81 per share. Adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter 2008 was $588.3 million, or $2.34 per share. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders to GAAP net income available to common stockholders.)

 

Full Year 2009 and 2010 Production Growth Forecasts

Based on the performance of its North American liquids plays, EOG has increased its 2009 total company production growth target from 5.5 to 6 percent. For 2010, EOG has set a total company organic production growth target of 13 percent that includes total liquids production growth of 50 percent.

 

Operational Highlights and Targets

With recent well results from the North Dakota Bakken Core and Lite areas and the Fort Worth Barnett Shale Combo Play showing the impact of substantially more effective completions, EOG is increasing its total company liquids production growth estimate from 25 to 27 percent for 2009. Carrying this momentum into 2010, EOG plans to ramp up operations in these areas and, therefore, is raising its full year 2010 crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids production growth target from 20 to 50 percent.

 

In addition, EOG announced a tactical acquisition of core Barnett Shale Combo assets in Montague and Cooke Counties, Texas with the addition of 7,800 net acres during the third quarter.

 

Two recent horizontal Combo wells, the Christian A #1H and B #1H, in which EOG has 100 percent working interest, were drilled in Cooke County. They began initial production at 1,000 and 600 barrels of oil per day (Bopd) with 2.5 and 2.0 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas, respectively. Reflecting the implementation of EOG's improved completion techniques, recent horizontal wells in eastern Montague and western Cooke Counties indicate estimated per well reserves of over 280,000 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe), net, an 80 percent improvement over EOG's early 2008 per well reserve estimates for the play. In the core area of the Combo where pay intervals are thickest, EOG has been developing its acreage by drilling vertical wells. EOG has 100 percent working interest in the Fitzgerald #1 and Stephenson #1, which reported initial production rates of 1,100 and 450 Bopd with 2.1 and 0.7 MMcfd, respectively. EOG expects to recover over 220,000 Boe, net from vertical wells drilled in this core area.

 

EOG also reported positive well results from crude oil drilling activity in the North Dakota Bakken Core and Lite areas where it is operating a five-rig program. In the Bakken Core, EOG has 100 and 92 percent working interest, respectively, in the Fertile #9-8H and Fertile #13-18H. The wells commenced production at rates of 1,000 and 1,100 Bopd, respectively. In the Bakken Lite, EOG completed the Sidonia #2-5H and Ross #5-08H at initial rates of 626 and 750 Bopd, respectively. EOG has 78 and 100 percent working interest, respectively, in the wells. In addition, EOG drilled and tested its first wells in the Three Forks Formation to determine the extent of prospectivity across its acreage position. Initial results from the first two wells indicate encouraging pressure and flow rates in a portion of its acreage. By operating a 14-rig drilling program in North Dakota in 2010, EOG plans to focus on the Bakken Core and Lite, as well as further drilling and testing of the Three Forks Formation.

 

"EOG is successfully transferring its technical expertise in drilling horizontal natural gas wells to unconventional oil and liquids rich reservoirs," said Mark G. Papa, Chairman and CEO. "Although it is late in the year, EOG is on track to target a higher liquids growth rate for 2009 because of the quality of wells that we are making in the Barnett Combo and Bakken Core and Lite. On the strength of the results from our unconventional liquids plays, we have the confidence to raise EOG's 2010 total company crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids production growth target from 20 percent to 50 percent."

 

As one of the first operators to test the extension of the Haynesville Play further southwest into Nacogdoches and Shelby Counties, Texas, EOG reported initial production rates from three wells that equal the better wells drilled to date in the Louisiana core area. In Nacogdoches County, the Hill #1, Pop Pop Gas Unit #1 and Hassell Gas Unit #1, which were drilled early in the third quarter, began initial production at rates in excess of 15 MMcfd of natural gas. EOG has 42 percent working interest in the wells. Based on this confirmation and the results of the Gammage #1 exploration well drilled in Nacogdoches County, EOG has increased its acreage position in the play. Including the recent acquisition of approximately 37,000 net acres in Nacogdoches County, EOG now has 153,000 total net acres in the Haynesville Play, after adjusting for the expected exercise of third party preferential purchase rights.

 

In the Horn River Basin of British Columbia, EOG's summer program concentrated on the completion of seven natural gas wells drilled the previous winter. The wells had initial production rates ranging from 16 to 23 MMcfd. In addition, EOG reached agreement with the British Columbia government on royalty incentives for a significant portion of the company's acreage.

 

"This has been an especially dynamic quarter for EOG with considerable strides made on both the liquids and gas sides of our business," said Papa. "Although EOG rarely makes an acquisition, we added tactical parcels to two of our core plays - the Barnett Combo and Haynesville. I'm particularly pleased that our focus on horizontal unconventional oil is already yielding meaningful results."

        oil properties into its operations, fully identify existing and
        potential problems with respect to such properties and accurately
        estimate reserves, production and costs with respect to such properties;
    --  weather, including its impact on natural gas and crude oil demand, and
        weather-related delays in drilling and in the installation and operation
        of gathering and production facilities;
    --  the ability of EOG's customers and other contractual counterparties to
        satisfy their obligations to EOG and, related thereto, to access the
        credit and capital markets to obtain financing needed to satisfy their
        obligations to EOG;
    --  EOG's ability to access the commercial paper market and other credit and
        capital markets to obtain financing on terms it deems acceptable, if at
        all;
    --  the accuracy of reserve estimates, which by their nature involve the
        exercise of professional judgment and may therefore be imprecise;
    --  the timing and extent of changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
        interest rates, inflation rates, global and domestic financial market
        conditions and global and domestic general economic conditions;
    --  the extent and effect of any hedging activities engaged in by EOG;

    --  acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts; and

    --  the other factors described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," on pages 13
        through 19 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
        December 31, 2008 and any updates to those factors set forth in EOG's

    The following chart adjusts three-month and nine-month periods ended
    September 30, 2009 and 2008 reported Net Income Available to Common
    Stockholders (GAAP) to reflect actual net cash realized from financial
    commodity price transactions by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market
    (gains) losses from these transactions and to eliminate the gain on the
    sale of EOG's Appalachian assets in the first quarter of 2008.  EOG
    believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the
    practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported company earnings to
    match realizations to production settlement months and make certain other
    adjustments to exclude one-time items.  EOG management uses this
    information for comparative purposes within the industry.
