EOG Resources Announces First Quarter 2017 Results and Converts 1.4 BnBoe Net Resource Potential to Premium

HOUSTON, May 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Exceeds High-End of Oil Production Forecast
  • Increases Premium Net Resource Potential by 27 Percent to 6.5 BnBoe
  • Reduces Completed Well Costs by 6 Percent in Major Plays Compared to 2016
  • Completes Four Record-Setting Permian Basin Horizontal Oil Wells

EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) (EOG) today reported first quarter 2017 net income of $28.5 million, or $0.05 per share. This compares to a first quarter 2016 net loss of $471.8 million, or $0.86 per share. 

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the first quarter 2017 was $89.4 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $455.4 million, or $0.83 per share, for the same prior year period.  Adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated by matching hedge realizations to settlement months and making certain other adjustments in order to exclude one-time items.  (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.)

Higher commodity prices, increased production volumes, well productivity improvements and overall per-unit cost reductions resulted in increases to adjusted non-GAAP net income, discretionary cash flow and EBITDAX during the first quarter 2017 compared to the first quarter 2016.  (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.)

Operational Highlights

EOG set a company record for crude oil volumes in the first quarter 2017 by producing 315,700 barrels of oil per day (Bopd), an 18 percent increase compared to the first quarter 2016.  This strong production growth reflects the company's premium drilling strategy and technical advances in its prolific plays across multiple basins.  EOG defines premium inventory as prospective well locations that will earn a minimum 30 percent direct after-tax rate of return at $40 crude oil and $2.50 natural gas prices.

EOG continues to reduce total well costs in each of its major plays.  First quarter 2017 average completed well costs were 6 percent lower than full year 2016 averages in the Eagle Ford, Delaware Basin and Bakken using normalized lateral lengths.  For all three plays, the overall cost reductions were achieved in spite of service and equipment price inflation in certain areas, which were more than offset by continued advances in drilling and completion tools and techniques, benefits from extended lateral lengths, and new contracts at lower prices.

During the first quarter 2017, lease and well expenses on a per-unit basis increased 4 percent compared to the same prior year period primarily because of last year's disposition of natural gas producing assets with lower per-unit operating costs, the Yates acquisition properties with higher per-unit operating costs, and higher production expenses in the United Kingdom.  Per-unit transportation costs decreased 8 percent and depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased 14 percent on a per-unit basis year-over-year.  Total general and administrative expenses decreased 3 percent compared to the first quarter 2016 primarily due to expenses related to a voluntary retirement program in 2016.

"EOG continues to lead the industry in well productivity, with record-setting well performance driving company record crude oil volumes," said William R. "Bill" Thomas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "During the first quarter 2017, we increased our premium inventory by 1,200 net well locations and 1.4 BnBoe of premium net resource potential, which is approximately 2.5 times the number of wells we expect to complete during all of 2017.  EOG remains committed to creating significant shareholder value through low-cost, high-return growth and organic resource expansion."

Delaware Basin

In the first quarter 2017, EOG continued to increase development activity and expand resource potential in the Delaware Basin.  EOG increased its Delaware Basin premium net locations by 700 to 4,150 locations. 

EOG completed 33 wells in the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp in the first quarter 2017 with an average treated lateral length of 5,600 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 2,855 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boed), or 1,850 Bopd, 450 barrels per day (Bpd) of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 3.3 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas. 

Of special note is a four-well pattern in Lea County, N.M., the Whirling Wind 14 Fed Com #701H and the Whirling Wind 11 Fed Com #702H - #704H which were completed with an average treated lateral length of 7,100 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 5,060 Boed, or 3,510 Bopd, 700 Bpd of NGLs and 5.1 MMcfd of natural gas.  Each well exceeded the prior all-time industry record for 30-day initial production from Permian Basin horizontal oil wells. 

"EOG's Whirling Wind wells shattered industry records in the Permian Basin," said Thomas.  "Our advanced technology and proprietary techniques are leading to break-through well performance across our diverse portfolio of premium plays."

In the Delaware Basin Bone Spring, EOG completed three wells in the first quarter 2017 with an average treated lateral length of 8,800 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 3,255 Boed, or 2,525 Bopd, 335 Bpd of NGLs and 2.4 MMcfd of natural gas. 

In the Delaware Basin Leonard, EOG completed three wells in the first quarter 2017 with an average treated lateral length of 3,800 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 840 Boed, or 505 Bopd, 150 Bpd of NGLs and 1.1 MMcfd of natural gas.  These first quarter 2017 completions were drilled prior to 2016. 

South Texas Eagle Ford

EOG's South Texas Eagle Ford continued to be the most active area in the company in the first quarter 2017.  In addition to significant development activity, EOG expanded its Eagle Ford premium net locations by 500 to more than 2,400 locations.  Part of the increase in premium locations was enabled by a shift to longer lateral drilling units.  Seven wells that began production in the first quarter 2017 had lateral lengths in excess of 10,000 feet.

In the first quarter 2017, EOG completed 65 wells in the Eagle Ford with an average treated lateral length of 6,500 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,390 Boed, or 1,130 Bopd, 130 Bpd of NGLs and 0.8 MMcfd of natural gas.

South Texas Austin Chalk

In the first quarter 2017, testing continued in the South Texas Austin Chalk.  EOG completed five wells in Karnes County with an average treated lateral length of 5,700 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 2,605 Boed, or 1,895 Bopd, 360 Bpd of NGLs and 2.1 MMcfd of natural gas.

Rockies and the Bakken

During the first quarter, EOG continued to develop its premium Powder River Basin position and reduce its inventory of drilled uncompleted wells in the Bakken.    

In the Powder River Basin, EOG completed five wells in the first quarter 2017 with an average treated lateral length of 4,900 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,160 Boed, or 950 Bopd, 75 Bpd of NGLs and 0.8 MMcfd of natural gas. 

In the North Dakota Bakken, EOG completed 27 wells in the first quarter 2017 with an average treated lateral length of 8,500 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 715 Boed, or 640 Bopd, 40 Bpd of NGLs and 0.2 MMcfd of natural gas.  The first quarter 2017 completions in the Bakken included 24 wells that were drilled prior to 2016.  Three wells completed in the first quarter 2017 were the first wells completed in the Bakken Lite area with EOG's high-density fracs.  These three wells had an average treated lateral length of 7,700 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 955 Boed, or 795 Bopd, 85 Bpd of NGLs and 0.5 MMcfd of natural gas.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements may not occur, and, if any of such events do, we may not have anticipated the timing of their occurrence or the duration and extent of their impact on our actual results.  Accordingly, you should not place any undue reliance on any of EOG's forward-looking statements. EOG's forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and EOG undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only "proved" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable with a high degree of confidence), but also "probable" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are as likely as not to be recovered) as well as "possible" reserves (i.e., additional quantities of oil and gas that might be recovered, but with a lower probability than probable reserves).  Statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this press release that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include "potential" reserves and/or other estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines.  Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, available from EOG at P.O.

The following chart adjusts the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 reported Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) to reflect actual net cash received from settlements of commodity derivative contracts by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market gains from these transactions, to eliminate the net (gains) losses on asset dispositions in 2017 and 2016, to add back impairment charges related to certain of EOG's assets in 2017 and to add back certain voluntary retirement expense in 2016.  EOG believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported company earnings to match hedge realizations to production settlement months and make certain other adjustments to exclude non-recurring items.  EOG management uses this information for purposes of comparing its financial performance with the financial performance of other companies in the industry.

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Financial Commodity

Derivative Contracts

                       

EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.  On March 14, 2017, EOG executed the optional early termination provision granting EOG the right to terminate certain crude oil price swaps with notional volumes of 30,000 Bbld at a weighted average price of $50.05 per Bbl for the period March 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.  EOG received cash of $4.6 million for the early termination of these contracts.  Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil price swap contracts through May 8, 2017, with notional volumes expressed in Bbld and prices expressed in $/Bbl.

On March 14, 2017, EOG entered into a crude oil price swap contract for the period March 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, with notional volumes of 5,000 Bbld at a price of $48.81 per Bbl.  This contract offsets the remaining crude oil price swap contract for the same time period with notional volumes of 5,000 Bbld at a price of $50.00 per Bbl.  The net cash EOG will receive for settling these contracts is $0.7 million.  The offsetting contracts were excluded from the above table.

EOG has sold call options which establish a ceiling price for the sale of notional volumes of natural gas as specified in the call option contracts.  The call options require that EOG pay the difference between the call option strike price and either the average or last business day NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price for the contract month (Henry Hub Index Price) in the event the Henry Hub Index Price is above the call option strike price.  In addition, EOG has purchased put options which establish a floor price for the sale of notional volumes of natural gas as specified in the put option contracts.  The put options grant EOG the right to receive the difference between the put option strike price and the Henry Hub Index Price in the event the Henry Hub Index Price is below the put option strike price.  Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's natural gas call and put option contracts through May 8, 2017, with notional volumes expressed in MMBtud and prices expressed in $/MMbtu.

Direct After-Tax Rate of Return (ATROR)

 

The calculation of our direct after-tax rate of return (ATROR) with respect to our capital expenditure program for a particular play or well is based on the estimated proved reserves ("net" to EOG's interest) for all wells in such play or such well (as the case may be), the estimated net present value (NPV) of the future net cash flows from such reserves (for which we utilize certain assumptions regarding future commodity prices and operating costs) and our direct net costs incurred in drilling or acquiring (as the case may be) such wells or well (as the case may be).  As such, our direct ATROR with respect to our capital expenditures for a particular play or well cannot be calculated from our consolidated financial statements. 

 
 

Direct ATROR

Based on Cash Flow and Time Value of Money

  - Estimated future commodity prices and operating costs

  - Costs incurred to drill, complete and equip a well, including facilities

Excludes Indirect Capital

  - Gathering and Processing and other Midstream

  - Land, Seismic, Geological and Geophysical

 

Payback ~12 Months on 100% Direct ATROR Wells

First Five Years ~1/2 Estimated Ultimate Recovery Produced but ~3/4 of NPV Captured

 
 

Return on Equity / Return on Capital Employed 

Based on GAAP Accrual Accounting

Includes All Indirect Capital and Growth Capital for Infrastructure

  - Eagle Ford, Bakken, Permian Facilities

  - Gathering and Processing

Includes Legacy Gas Capital and Capital from Mature Wells

 

EOG RESOURCES, INC.

Quantitative Reconciliation of After-Tax Net Interest Expense (Non-GAAP), Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

(Non-GAAP), Net Debt (Non-GAAP) and Total Capitalization (Non-GAAP) as used in the Calculations of

Return on Capital Employed (Non-GAAP) and Return on Equity (Non-GAAP) to Net Interest Expense (GAAP),

Net Income (Loss) (GAAP), Current and Long-Term Debt (GAAP) and Total Capitalization (GAAP), Respectively

(Unaudited; in millions, except ratio data)

                       

The following chart reconciles Net Interest Expense (GAAP), Net Income (Loss) (GAAP), Current and Long-Term Debt (GAAP) and Total Capitalization (GAAP) to After-Tax Net Interest Expense (Non-GAAP), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (Non-GAAP), Net Debt (Non-GAAP) and Total Capitalization (Non-GAAP), respectively, as used in the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE) calculations.  EOG believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who utilize After-Tax Net Interest Expense, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Net Debt and Total Capitalization (Non-GAAP) in their ROCE and ROE calculations.  EOG management uses this information for purposes of comparing its financial performance with the financial performance of other companies in the industry.
