HOUSTON, Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) (EOG) today reported a third quarter 2010 net loss of $70.9 million, or $0.28 per share. This compares to third quarter 2009 net income of $4.2 million, or $0.02 per share.

The results for the third quarter 2010 included a $208.3 million, net of tax ($0.82 per share) impairment of certain Canadian shallow natural gas assets held for sale, $41.4 million gain, net of tax ($0.16 per share) on property dispositions and a previously disclosed non-cash net gain of $61.0 million ($39.1 million after tax, or $0.16 per share) on the mark-to-market of financial commodity transactions. During the quarter, the net cash outflow related to financial commodity contracts was $13.6 million ($8.7 million after tax, or $0.03 per share). Consistent with some analysts’ practice of matching realizations to settlement months, and making certain other adjustments in order to exclude one-time items, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $46.6 million, or $0.18 per share. Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the third quarter 2009 was $203.9 million, or $0.81 per share. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net income to GAAP net income.)  

Operational Highlights

EOG reported a 30 percent increase in total company crude oil and condensate production for the third quarter, compared to the same period in 2009. In the United States, crude and condensate production increased 29 percent.

In the South Texas Eagle Ford Play, EOG has steadily escalated the pace of both its drilling and completion operations. Results from the 77 wells drilled to date across its 120-mile, 505,000 net acre position in the mature oil window, reinforce EOG’s confidence in its estimated 900 million barrels of oil equivalent, net after royalty resource potential, 77 percent of which is crude oil.

Patterned after successful development activity in its other resource plays, EOG is drilling and completing wells in batches to optimize resource recovery. Significant production increases are expected in 2011 as numerous clusters of wells are turned to production. Currently operating a 10-rig drilling program in the Eagle Ford, EOG plans to add one more rig by year-end and average 14 rigs in 2011.

Among EOG’s South Texas Eagle Ford wells, in which EOG has a 100 percent working interest, are:

  • Cusack Clampit #1H, #2H, #3H and #4H – This cluster of Gonzales County wells began flowing to sales at rates of 860 to 1,800 barrels of oil per day (Bopd) with 1,020 to 1,770 thousand cubic feet per day (Mcfd) of rich natural gas.
  • Beynon #1H – This Karnes County well was completed at an initial peak rate of 902 Bopd with 1,110 Mcfd of rich natural gas.
  • Greenlow #5H – Drilled in Karnes County, this well began initial production at a rate of 720 Bopd with 1,030 Mcfd of rich natural gas.

 

“Well data generated throughout the year from the Eagle Ford reflects an increase in our estimates of recoveries per well relative to our April 2010 estimates. This upside not only enhances the rate of return of the play but indicates fewer wells than we originally anticipated will be needed to capture our net reserve potential of 900 million barrels of oil equivalent,” said Mark G. Papa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

With an active 16-rig drilling program in the Fort Worth Barnett Combo, this key EOG asset is in full development mode. After alleviating fracture crew constraints during the first half of 2010, EOG is focusing on multi-well development patterns in Montague and western Cooke Counties. Recent drilling results in Cooke County have expanded EOG’s Core area from 150,000 to 160,000 net acres. EOG expects to exit 2010 with strong crude oil production momentum that will carry into 2011 and beyond. In the current natural gas environment, Combo economics are bolstered by the mix of oil and rich natural gas production with total liquids production contributing over 90 percent of revenue. In the past, liquids had contributed roughly 66 percent of the revenue stream from the play.

EOG’s Barnett Shale Combo well highlights from Cooke and Montague Counties include:

  • Christian C #3H – This Cooke County well, in which EOG has a 98 percent working interest, began producing to sales at a gross rate of 954 Bopd with 1,608 Mcfd of rich natural gas.
  • Strickland A #2H – Drilled horizontally, this Cooke County well began flowing to sales at a gross rate of 1,118 Bopd with 1,801 Mcfd of rich natural gas. EOG has a 90 percent working interest in the well.
  • Strickland #1 – This vertically drilled Cooke County well, in which EOG has a 96 percent working interest, began production at a gross rate of 865 Bopd with 1,212 Mcfd of rich natural gas.
  • Settle C #3H – EOG has a 91 percent working interest in this Cooke County well that was completed at a rate of 731 Bopd with 2,135 Mcfd of rich natural gas, gross.
  • Nutter #1H – Drilled in western Cooke County, this well began flowing to sales at a rate of 672 Bopd with 838 Mcfd of rich natural gas, gross. EOG has a 99 percent working interest in the well.
  • Slagle #2H and #1 – Drilled in the western part of Cooke County, these wells were completed with initial rates of 495 and 539 Bopd with 138 and 307 Mcfd of rich natural gas, respectively. The Slagle #2H was drilled and completed horizontally, while the Slagle #1 was drilled and completed vertically. EOG has a 100 percent working interest in both wells.
  • Posey C#3H – Brought to sales at a rate of 536 Bopd with 416 Mcfd of rich natural gas, this well, in which EOG has a 100 percent working interest, was drilled in western Montague County.

 

In EOG’s largest crude oil producing asset, the North Dakota Bakken, well completion operations resumed during the second quarter following the winter 2009-2010 drilling program. A significant number of wells began flowing to sales, contributing to EOG’s overall crude oil production increase. These results included a number of horizontal Mandaree wells on EOG’s 18,000 net acres in McKenzie County, North Dakota, southwest of Parshall. These wells were turned to sales in the third quarter with strong initial production rates and favorable economics.

 

EOG’s North Dakota and Montana Bakken well highlights are:

  • Mandaree 4-15H – This well was completed in the second quarter at a peak production rate of 1,490 Bopd, gross. EOG has a 69 percent working interest in the well.
  • Mandaree 2-9H – EOG holds an 88 percent working interest in this well, which was drilled and completed to sales at a maximum rate of 1,358 Bopd, gross.
  • Mandaree 1-10H – Maximum initial production from this well, in which EOG has a 90 percent working interest, was 1,659 Bopd, gross.
  • Ed and Paul 1-17H – EOG has an 80 percent working interest in the well, which was drilled in Richland County, Montana and was completed to sales at a maximum gross rate of over 2,000 Bopd.

 

In its sixth year of development in the Bakken, EOG is operating a 10-rig drilling program in North Dakota and Montana.

 

In the New Mexico Leonard Shale, EOG reported continued drilling success on an additional 18,000 acres and, combined with previous reported success on 31,000 acres, has now proven up 49,000 of its 120,000 total net acre position. The Elk Wallow 11 State #1H has been producing for over 30 days at an average rate of 337 Bopd with 3,070 Mcfd of rich natural gas. The Elk Wallow 11 State #2H has been producing for 11 days at an average rate of 505 Bopd with 4,770 Mcfd of rich natural gas. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these Eddy County wells.

“EOG is delivering remarkable organic production growth from its portfolio of crude oil and liquids resource plays. In 2011, approximately 67 percent of EOG’s North American revenue will be derived from liquids,” said Papa. “By mid-2011, EOG expects to have optimized its South Texas Eagle Ford crude oil production such that it will be a meaningful long-term crude oil producer both for EOG and for the United States.”

Based on reduced cash flows resulting from weak natural gas prices and fracture equipment delays, EOG has reduced its 2010 total company organic production growth forecast from 13 percent to 9 percent. Decreases in North American natural gas drilling activity account for 70 percent of the 2010 volume reduction. For 2011 and 2012, EOG has provided preliminary total company organic production growth forecasts of 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively. EOG expects crude oil and condensate production increases of 53 percent and 30 percent, respectively, to drive total company production growth for that two-year period.

Capital Structure

At September 30, 2010, EOG’s total debt was $3,769 million for a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 27 percent. Taking into account cash on the balance sheet of $28 million, at the end of the quarter EOG’s net debt was $3,741 million and the net debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 27 percent. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of net debt (non-GAAP) to current and long-term debt (GAAP) and the reconciliation of net debt-to-total capitalization ratio (non-GAAP) to debt-to-total capitalization ratio (GAAP).)

To maintain a low debt-to-total capitalization ratio, during 2010 EOG has marketed certain of its properties, primarily natural gas. EOG expects to sell between $600 million and $1 billion of both producing and non-producing properties in North America. The majority of these transactions are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2010. EOG incurred a $208.3 million, net of tax, impairment during the third quarter associated with certain of its Canadian shallow natural gas assets held for sale.

2011 Strategy

Following a comparison of its inventory of attractive rate of return, liquids-rich drilling opportunities against depressed natural gas prices, EOG has elected to pursue additional natural gas asset sales in 2011. Proceeds from these sales will be used primarily to offset any funding gap between planned capital expenditures and estimated cash flows. While previously targeting a maximum net debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 25 percent, EOG has set the maximum net debt-to-total capitalization ratio at 30 percent to 35 percent in order to optimally fund its portfolio of liquids-rich drilling opportunities.

“EOG remains committed to its long-term philosophy of delivering strong returns to shareholders and maintaining a conservative balance sheet,” Mr. Papa said. “However, EOG does not intend to sell-down or joint venture any of its crude oil resource plays as we continue our strategic shift from natural gas to liquids. The growth potential of these robust assets is expected to accelerate EOG’s shift toward liquids, while increasing our margins in the coming years.”

TO NET INCOME (LOSS) (GAAP)

 

(Unaudited; in thousands, except per share data)

 
                           
                           

The following chart adjusts three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 reported Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) to reflect actual net cash realized from financial commodity price transactions by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market gains from these transactions, to add back the loss on the impairment of certain of EOG's Canadian shallow natural gas assets in the third quarter of 2010, to eliminate the change in the estimated fair value of a contingent consideration liability related to EOG's previously disclosed acquisition of Haynesville and Bossier Shale unproved acreage and to eliminate the gains on property dispositions primarily in the Rocky Mountain area.  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.
