EOG Resources Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results and Announces 2018 Capital Program

HOUSTON, Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Delivers 20 Percent U.S. Crude Oil Production Growth and Pays Dividend within Cash Flow
  • Lowers Per-Unit Transportation and DD&A Expenses Below Targets
  • Increases Proved Reserves 18 Percent and Replaces 201 Percent of 2017 Production at Low Finding Costs
  • Raises Common Stock Dividend 10 Percent
  • Targets 18 Percent Crude Oil Production Growth and 16 Percent Total Production Growth for 2018 with Significant Free Cash Flow at $60 Oil
  • Expects to Earn Double-Digit ROCE in 2018

EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) (EOG) today reported fourth quarter 2017 net income of $2,430 million, or $4.20 per share. This compares to a fourth quarter 2016 net loss of $142 million, or $0.25 per share.  For the full year 2017, EOG reported net income of $2,583 million, or $4.46 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,097 million, or $1.98 per share, for the full year 2016. 

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter 2017 was $401 million, or $0.69 per share, compared to an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $7 million, or $0.01 per share, for the same prior year period.  Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the full year 2017 was $648 million, or $1.12 per share, compared to an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $893 million, or $1.61 per share, for the full year 2016.  Adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated by matching hedge realizations to settlement months and making certain other adjustments in order to exclude non-recurring and certain other items.  One of the adjusting items in the fourth quarter and full year 2017 was a non-cash reduction in income tax expense of $2.2 billion, or $3.75 per share, related to the revaluation of EOG's deferred tax liability and certain other items resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.

Higher commodity prices, increased production volumes, well productivity improvements and per-unit cost reductions resulted in significant increases to adjusted non-GAAP net income, discretionary cash flow and EBITDAX for the fourth quarter 2017 compared to the fourth quarter 2016.  For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.

Operational Highlights
Crude oil and condensate volumes in the U.S. increased 20 percent in 2017 to 335,000 barrels of oil per day (Bopd).  Increased development activity and well productivity improvements supported the volume increase.  Total company natural gas liquids (NGLs) volumes grew 8 percent while natural gas volumes decreased 6 percent primarily due to the sale of the company's Barnett and Haynesville Shale dry gas assets in late 2016.  Transportation expenses decreased 11 percent and depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased 12 percent, on a per-unit basis.

Increased development activity drove substantial volume increases in the Eagle Ford and Delaware Basin during the fourth quarter.  Total company crude oil and condensate volumes increased 40,200 Bopd compared to the third quarter 2017.  Natural gas liquids volumes grew 15 percent while natural gas volumes increased 6 percent, compared to the third quarter 2017. 

"EOG emerged from the industry downturn in 2017 with unprecedented levels of efficiency and productivity, driving oil production volumes to record levels with capital expenditures approximately one half the prior peak," said William R. "Bill" Thomas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "EOG's integrated teams demonstrated superb operational performance, overcoming a major hurricane and other challenges to deliver record production volumes and cost savings which surpassed original targets set at the beginning of the year."

2018 Capital Plan
EOG's disciplined capital plan is designed to achieve strong returns on capital employed and healthy growth while spending within cash flow.  The company expects to grow total company crude oil volumes by 18 percent, generate double-digit ROCE and cover capital investment and dividend payments within discretionary cash flow.  EOG can deliver on its 2018 plan at oil prices below $50 and generates significant free cash flow at a $60 oil price.

EOG's return-based culture continues to drive cost reductions.  The company targets lower well costs and per-unit operating expenses in 2018 despite a potentially inflationary operating environment.  EOG is also focused on driving continued improvements in well productivity and pursuing exploration efforts in new plays. 

Capital expenditures for 2018 are expected to range from $5.4 to $5.8 billion, including production facilities and gathering, processing and other expenditures, and excluding acquisitions.  EOG expects to complete approximately 690 net wells in 2018, compared to 536 net wells in 2017.  Capital will be allocated primarily to EOG's highest rate-of-return oil assets in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Rockies, Woodford and the Bakken.  

At least 90 percent of the wells completed in 2018 are expected to be premium.  EOG has an inventory of approximately 8,000 such wells, which have a direct after-tax rate of return of at least 30 percent assuming $40 flat crude oil prices and $2.50 flat natural gas prices. 

"EOG enters 2018 better positioned than ever to generate significant shareholder value through the development of its large and diverse inventory of high rate-of-return premium wells," Thomas said.  "We are determined to maintain the discipline, record-level operational efficiency and performance gained through the downturn.  Our deep inventory of premium wells across the U.S. offers flexibility to adjust to changing conditions.  We also see significant opportunities to increase our premium well inventory through organic exploration and development technology to further extend EOG's return on capital advantage."

Dividend Increase
The board of directors increased the cash dividend on the common stock by 10.4 percent.  Effective with the dividend payable April 30, 2018, to stockholders of record as of April 16, 2018, the board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share on the common stock.  The indicated annual rate is $0.74 per share.

Delaware Basin
2017 was a watershed year for EOG in the Delaware Basin, where it successfully integrated the Yates acquisition, identified 1,240 additional net premium well locations, added the First Bone Spring as its fourth premium play and reduced completed well costs by $800,000 per well.  Delaware Basin crude oil and condensate volumes increased over 80 percent in 2017 and exceeded 100,000 Bopd in the fourth quarter 2017. 

EOG continued active development of its 416,000 net acre position in the Delaware Basin in the fourth quarter 2017, completing 65 wells. 

In the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp, in Lea County, NM, EOG completed a four-well package, the Calm Breeze 2 Fed Com #701-704H, with an average treated lateral length of 7,100 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 2,605 Bopd, 440 barrels per day (Bpd) of NGLs and 3.7 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas.

In the Delaware Basin First Bone Spring, in Lea County, NM, EOG completed the Righteous 6 State Com #301H with a treated lateral length of 7,100 feet and 30-day initial production rate of 1,305 Bopd, 170 Bpd of NGLs and 1.4 MMcfd of natural gas. 

In the Delaware Basin Leonard, in Loving County, TX, EOG completed a four-well package, the State Atlas A#3H – D#6H, with an average treated lateral length of 9,800 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,215 Bopd, 270 Bpd of NGLs and 2.3 MMcfd of natural gas. 

South Texas Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk
EOG continues to enhance the productivity of its bellwether asset in the South Texas Eagle Ford.  Eight years after initiating development, EOG further reduced well costs and improved well performance during 2017 in its 520,000 net acre position in the crude oil window of this world class play.  EOG also expanded its enhanced oil recovery program, adding 56 wells last year.  For the full year 2017, crude oil production in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk increased one percent year-over-year despite interruption to producing volumes as a result of Hurricane Harvey.

In the fourth quarter, EOG completed 74 wells in the Eagle Ford.  These included 13 wells with lateral lengths of more than 10,000 feet.  In LaSalle County, EOG completed a four-well package, the White 5H-8H, with an average treated lateral length of 12,900 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,545 Bopd, 80 Bpd of NGLs and 0.5 MMcfd of natural gas.  In DeWitt County, EOG completed a four-well package, the Hendrix 8H-10H and the Hendrix 12H, with an average treated lateral length of 6,700 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 2,545 Bopd, 420 Bpd of NGLs and 2.4 MMcfd of natural gas. 

EOG continued to test its position in the South Texas Austin Chalk, a geologically complex formation which lies above the South Texas Eagle Ford, completing four net wells in the fourth quarter.

Rockies
EOG's Wyoming Powder River Basin and DJ Basin activity both contributed to the company's 2017 crude oil production growth.  In the Powder River Basin, EOG continued exploration activity on its 400,000 net acre position in the core of the play.  The company tested the prospectivity of multiple target zones and also tested the aerial extent of various targets in the Powder River Basin during the year.  In the DJ Basin, EOG achieved significant well cost reductions during 2017 through a focus on efficiency improvements in drilling and completion operations.

In the fourth quarter, EOG completed nine wells in the Powder River Basin.  In Converse County, EOG completed the Mary's Draw 453-0310H and 455-0310H wells with an average treated lateral length of 7,300 feet per well and average 30-day initial production rates per well of 1,280 Bopd, 610 Bpd of NGLs and 7.6 MMcfd of natural gas.  In the DJ Basin, EOG completed three wells in the fourth quarter.  This included the Big Sandy 522-2536H with a treated lateral length of 8,800 feet and 30-day initial production rate of 1,100 Bopd, 110 Bpd of NGLs and 0.2 MMcfd of natural gas.

Reserves
At year-end 2017, total company net proved reserves were 2,527 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), an increase of 18 percent compared to year-end 2016.  Net proved reserve additions from all sources, excluding revisions due to price, replaced 201 percent of EOG's 2017 production at a finding and development cost of $8.71 per barrel of oil equivalent.  Revisions due to price increased net proved reserves by 154 MMBoe and asset divestitures decreased net proved reserves by 21 MMBoe.  (For more reserves detail and a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.)

For the 30th consecutive year, internal reserves estimates were within 5 percent of estimates independently prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton.

Hedging Activity
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017, EOG entered into crude oil financial price swap contracts and differential basis swap contracts.  A comprehensive summary of crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts is provided in the attached tables.  

Capital Structure and Asset Sales
At December 31, 2017, EOG's total debt outstanding was $6.4 billion with a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 28 percent. Considering cash on the balance sheet at the end of the fourth quarter, EOG's net debt was $5.6 billion with a net debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 25 percent.  For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.

Proceeds from asset sales for the full year 2017 totaled $227 million.

(B) Other International includes EOG's United Kingdom, China, Canada and Argentina operations.  The Argentina operations were sold in the third quarter of 2016.

(C) Dollars per barrel or per thousand cubic feet, as applicable.  Excludes the impact of financial commodity derivative instruments.

(D) Thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day or million barrels of oil equivalent, as applicable; includes crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas.  Crude oil equivalent volumes are determined using a ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or natural gas liquids to 6.0 thousand cubic feet of natural gas.  MMBoe is calculated by multiplying the MBoed amount by the number of days in the period and then dividing that amount by one thousand.

Quantitative Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (Non-GAAP)

To Net Income (Loss) (GAAP)

(Unaudited; in thousands, except per share data)

                               

The following chart adjusts the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 reported Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) to reflect actual net cash received from (payments for) settlements of commodity derivative contracts by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market (gains) losses 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 2016, to eliminate the impact of the Trinidad tax settlement in 2016, to add back certain voluntary retirement expense in 2016, to add back acquisition costs and state apportionment change related to the Yates transaction in 2016, to add back an early lease termination payment as the result of a legal settlement in 2017, to add back the transaction costs for the formation of a joint venture in 2017, to add back joint interest billings deemed uncollectible in 2017, and to eliminate the impact of tax reform in 2017.  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.

Calculation of Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP)

(Unaudited; in thousands)

 

The following chart reconciles the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (GAAP) to Discretionary Cash Flow (Non-GAAP).  EOG believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who adjust Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities for Exploration Costs (excluding Stock-Based Compensation Expenses), Excess Tax Benefits from Stock-Based Compensation, Other Non-Current Taxes,Changes in Components of Working Capital and Other Assets and Liabilities, and Changes in Components of Working Capital Associated with Investing and Financing Activities.  EOG defines Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP) for a given period as Discretionary Cash Flow (Non-GAAP) (see below reconciliation) for such period less the total cash capital expenditures excluding acquisitions incurred (Non-GAAP) during such period and dividends paid (GAAP) during such period, as is illustrated below for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.  EOG management uses this information for comparative purposes within the industry.

Dry Hole Costs, Impairments and Additional Items (Adjusted EBITDAX)

 (Non-GAAP) to Net Income (Loss) (GAAP)

(Unaudited; in thousands)

                       

The following chart adjusts the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 reported Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) to Earnings Before Interest Expense (Net), Income Taxes (Income Tax Provision (Benefit)), Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization, Exploration Costs, Dry Hole Costs and Impairments (EBITDAX) (Non-GAAP) and further adjusts such amount to reflect actual net cash received from (payments for) settlements of commodity derivative contracts by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market (MTM) (gains) losses from these transactions and to eliminate the net (gains) losses on asset dispositions (Net).  EOG believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) to add back Interest Expense (Net), Income Taxes (Income Tax Provision (Benefit)), Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization, Exploration Costs, Dry Hole Costs and Impairments and further adjust such amount to match realizations to production settlement months and make certain other adjustments to exclude non-recurring and certain other items.  EOG management uses this information for purposes of comparing its financial performance with the financial performance of other companies in the industry.

Quantitative Reconciliation of Total Exploration and Development Expenditures (Non-GAAP)

As Used in the Calculation of Reserve Replacement Costs ($ / BOE)

To Total Costs Incurred in Exploration and Development Activities (GAAP)

(Unaudited; in millions, except ratio information)

                 

The following chart reconciles Total Costs Incurred in Exploration and Development Activities (GAAP) to Total Exploration and Development Expenditures (Non-GAAP), as used in the calculation of Reserve Replacement Costs per Boe.  There are numerous ways that industry participants present Reserve Replacement Costs, including an  "All-In" calculation, which reflects total exploration and development expenditures divided by total net proved reserve additions from all sources.  Combined with Reserve Replacement, these statistics provide management and investors with an indication of the results of the current year capital investment program.  Reserve Replacement Cost statistics are widely recognized and reported by industry participants and are used by EOG management and other third parties for comparative purposes within the industry.  Please note that the actual cost of adding reserves will vary from the reported statistics due to timing differences in reserve bookings and capital expenditures.  Accordingly, some analysts use three or five year averages of reported statistics, while others prefer to estimate future costs.  EOG has not included future capital costs to develop proved undeveloped reserves in exploration and development expenditures.

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Financial Commodity

Derivative Contracts

                       

EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.  Prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from NYMEX West Texas Intermediate prices due to adjustments for delivery location (basis) and other factors.  EOG has entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma (Midland Differential).  Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's Midland Differential basis swap contracts through February 20, 2018.  The weighted average price differential expressed in $/Bbl represents the amount of reduction to Cushing, Oklahoma, prices for the notional volumes expressed in Bbld covered by the basis swap contracts.

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 February 20, 2018, 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 recoverable 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
