EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) (EOG) today reported third quarter 2014 net income of $1,103.6 million, or $2.01 per share. This compares to third quarter 2013 net income of $462.5 million, or $0.85 per share.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the third quarter 2014 was $720.6 million, or $1.31 per share, and adjusted non-GAAP net income for the same prior year period was $634.3 million, or $1.16 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 third quarter 2014 excluded a previously disclosed non-cash net gain of $469.1 million ($301.0 million after-tax, or $0.55 per share) on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts. The net cash outflow related to settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $68.0 million ($43.6 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share). During the third quarter 2014, the net gains on asset dispositions were $60.3 million ($38.4 million net of tax, or $0.07 per share). (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net income to GAAP net income.)

Reflecting the ongoing shift in its asset portfolio, crude oil now accounts for 48 percent of EOG’s total production, compared to 42 percent at the end of the third quarter 2013. This highly desirable ratio drove EOG’s strong financial metrics for the first nine months of 2014. Discretionary cash flow increased 18 percent and adjusted EBITDAX advanced 19 percent, versus the first nine months of 2013. In addition, adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share increased 34 percent. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of non-GAAP discretionary cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP), adjusted non-GAAP EBITDAX to income before interest expense and income taxes (GAAP) and adjusted non-GAAP net income to GAAP net income.)

Operational Highlights
EOG is increasing its full year 2014 crude oil and condensate production growth target to 31 percent from 29 percent and total production growth target to 16.5 percent from 14 percent, as it continues to improve well productivity in its key domestic crude oil plays.

In the third quarter, EOG’s U.S. crude oil and condensate production increased 29 percent, compared to the same prior year period. Production gains from the South Texas Eagle Ford, North Dakota Bakken and Delaware Basin led EOG’s crude oil production growth. Driven by the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford, total natural gas liquids (NGLs) production increased 25 percent, and total company natural gas production increased 3 percent, compared to the third quarter 2013. Total company production increased 17 percent.

Delaware Basin
In the Delaware Basin, EOG has confirmed that 90,000 of its 140,000 net acre position in the Wolfcamp is in a highly over-pressured crude oil window, representing a significant enhancement in the play’s reinvestment rate-of-return. EOG drilled two Wolfcamp wells that have a 50 percent crude oil mix.  In Lea County, New Mexico, the Diamond SM 36 State #1H began production at 1,340 barrels of oil per day (Bopd) with 195 barrels per day (Bpd) of NGLs and 1.3 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas. On the Texas side of the play in Loving County, the Voyager 15 #3H had a high initial production rate of 1,890 Bopd with 385 Bpd of NGLs and 2.5 MMcfd of natural gas. EOG has 100 and 48 percent working interest, respectively, in these two wells. EOG plans to increase its Delaware Basin Wolfcamp drilling activity on the 50 percent crude oil acreage.

Near the Texas/New Mexico border in Loving County, Texas, EOG completed its third well in the Second Bone Spring Sand this year. The State Magellan #2H, in which EOG has 100 percent working interest, began initial production at 1,825 Bopd with 295 Bpd of NGLs and 2.2 MMcfd of natural gas. Drilled 20 miles southwest of EOG’s existing production, the well confirms the prospectivity of the Second Bone Spring Sand over a greater amount of acreage. These results, together with recent mapping and geological studies, indicate EOG has at least 90,000 net acres of Second Bone Spring Sand potential across its acreage.

Also in Loving County, Texas, EOG has been drilling Leonard Shale wells. The State Pathfinder #1H and #3H, which were completed in the Leonard ‘A’ zone as 450-foot spacing tests, had a combined rate of 2,340 Bopd with 470 Bpd of NGLs and 2.6 MMcfd of natural gas. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these wells. EOG is continuing to test various spacing patterns between and across producing zones in the Leonard Shale where it holds an expanded 80,000 net acre position.

South Texas Eagle Ford
Through drilling and completion improvements, EOG again realized outstanding capital efficiencies and strong well results in its single largest growth engine, the Eagle Ford. In Gonzales County, the Neuse Unit #1H was turned to sales at an initial peak rate of 4,170 Bopd with 160 Bpd of NGLs and 935 thousand cubic feet per day (Mcfd) of natural gas. The Boothe Unit #12H, #13H, #14H and #15H came online at rates ranging from 2,640 to 3,445 Bopd with 490 to 580 Bpd of NGLs and 2.8 to 3.4 MMcfd of natural gas. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these five Eagle Ford wells.

In Karnes County, the Colleen Unit #1H had an initial production rate of 3,660 Bopd with 360 Bpd of NGLs and 2.1 MMcfd of natural gas. The Maverick Unit #2H came online at an initial rate of 3,680 Bopd with 365 Bpd of NGLs and 2.1 MMcfd of natural gas. The Lake Unit #4H, #6H and #8H began production from two different pads at a combined rate of 6,460 Bopd with 735 Bpd of NGLs and 4.3 MMcfd of natural gas. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these five Eagle Ford wells.

West of Gonzales and Karnes, in LaSalle and McMullen counties, among the wells turned to sales, 31 had initial production rates exceeding 1,200 Bopd including the Corner S Ranch  #11H, #12H, #13H, #14H, #15H and #16H. The wells, in which EOG has 100 percent working interest, had a combined rate exceeding 8,400 Bopd, 325 Bpd of NGLs and 1.9 MMcfd of natural gas.

North Dakota Bakken
EOG’s Bakken drilling activity for the year has concentrated on its Parshall Core and Antelope Extension acreage. In the Core, EOG continues to test various spacing patterns to determine a development program that maximizes the field’s resource potential. While preliminary results from 700-foot spaced wells are encouraging, EOG will continue to analyze production data. EOG is simultaneously testing well patterns of less than 700 feet. In the Antelope Extension area, EOG has pursued development drilling in the Bakken and tested various Three Forks intervals to determine the prospectivity of the formation across its acreage. Additionally, EOG has reduced its overall Bakken drilling costs by integrating self-sourced sand and identifying drilling efficiencies, as well as refining completion techniques in both areas.

In the Core area, the Parshall 44-1004H, 45-1004H and 46-1004H, in which EOG has 69 percent working interest, were turned to production at initial rates of 2,710, 2,005 and 2,105 Bopd with 875, 665 and 860 Mcfd of rich natural gas, respectively. The Parshall 47-2226H, 48-2226H and 49-2226H began production at a cumulative rate of 5,105 Bopd with 2.3 MMcfd of rich natural gas. EOG has 70 percent working interest in these three Core wells.

In the Antelope Extension area, EOG had successful drilling results from the first, second and third Three Forks benches. The first well drilled in the third interval of the Three Forks was the Mandaree 134-05H, in which EOG has 70 percent working interest. It came online at 1,410 Bopd with 2.2 MMcfd of rich natural gas. In the second interval, the Mandaree 135-05H, in which EOG has 69 percent working interest, had an initial rate of 1,620 Bopd with 2.5 MMcfd of rich natural gas. EOG has 42 percent working interest in the Mandaree 17-05H, which began producing at 1,745 Bopd with 2.8 MMcfd of rich natural gas from the first bench. EOG is continuing to test and drill Three Forks wells in all three intervals across its Antelope acreage.

“At EOG, we are never satisfied with the status quo. We are constantly identifying efficiencies in our drilling practices and making breakthroughs in completion methodology that raise the bar on EOG’s ongoing outstanding performance,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William R. “Bill” Thomas.

Wyoming DJ and Powder River Basins
In the DJ Basin, EOG is simultaneously developing the stacked Codell and Niobrara formations from multi-well pad locations in Laramie County, Wyoming. During the third quarter, a seven-well pattern of three Codell and four Niobrara wells was brought to production with a combined initial rate exceeding 7,800 Bopd with 5.4 MMcfd of rich natural gas. The wells, in which EOG has 75 percent working interest, were drilled with 710-foot spacing between laterals averaging 9,400 feet. Initial production and drilling results from the Codell and Niobrara are encouraging.

In Campbell and Converse counties, Wyoming, EOG is actively developing its acreage in the Powder River Basin with a single drilling rig program. EOG completed one well from the Parkman formation and two from the Turner during the third quarter. The Mary’s Draw 412-1527H began sales at an initial rate of 1,190 Bopd with 270 Mcfd of rich natural gas from the Parkman formation. The Mary’s Draw 24-13H and 25-13H had a combined crude oil rate of 1,880 Bopd with 3.1 MMcfd of rich natural gas from the Turner. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these three wells.

“We have added a number of new plays to EOG’s portfolio this year, while continuing to improve well productivity in our existing assets. We expect the Eagle Ford, EOG’s cornerstone, to drive our production growth for many years,” Thomas said. “It’s important to note that despite the recent pullback in crude oil prices, because of our premier acreage positions and zealous approach to improving completion methods, EOG is positioned to realize ongoing excellent returns in our top plays and continue to be an industry leader in domestic organic production growth.”

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Hedging Activity
For the period November 1 through December 31, 2014, EOG has crude oil financial price swap contracts in place for 192,000 Bopd at a weighted average price of $96.15 per barrel. For the period January 1 through December 31, 2015, EOG has crude oil financial price swap contracts in place for an average of 28,350 Bopd at a weighted average price of $91.00 per barrel, excluding unexercised options.

For December 2014, EOG has natural gas financial price swap contracts in place for 330,000 million British thermal units per day (MMBtud) at a weighted average price of $4.55 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), excluding unexercised options.

For the period January 1 through December 31, 2015, EOG has natural gas financial price swap contracts in place for 175,000 MMBtud at a weighted average price of $4.51 per MMBtu, excluding unexercised options. (For a comprehensive summary of crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts, please refer to the attached tables.)

Cash Flow and Capital Structure
At September 30, 2014, EOG’s total debt outstanding was $5,910 million for a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 25 percent. Taking into account cash on the balance sheet of $1.5 billion at September 30, 2014, EOG’s net debt was $4,429 million for a net debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 20 percent, down from 23 percent at December 31, 2013. (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).)

“EOG is committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value. We have increased the dividend twice in 2014 because our excellent financial and operational performance drives outstanding returns quarter after quarter,” Thomas said.

The following chart adjusts the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 reported Net Income (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 on asset dispositions in North America in 2014 and 2013 and to add back impairment charges related to certain of EOG’s non-core North American assets in 2014 and 2013.  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 non-recurring items.  EOG management uses this information for comparative purposes within the industry.
