HOUSTON, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) today reported a third quarter 2016 net loss of $190.0 million, or $0.35 per share. This compares to a third quarter 2015 net loss of $4.1 billion, or $7.47 per share.
Adjusted non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter 2016 was $220.8 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income of $13.5 million, or $0.02 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 non-recurring and certain other items. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.
Lower crude oil and natural gas prices more than offset significant well productivity improvements and lease and well cost reductions, resulting in decreases in adjusted non-GAAP net income, discretionary cash flow and EBITDAX during the third quarter 2016 compared to the third quarter 2015. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, please refer to the attached tables.
Operational Highlights
U.S. crude oil volumes of 275,700 barrels of oil per day (Bopd) in the third quarter 2016 exceeded the midpoint of the company's guidance by 3 percent. Compared to the same prior year period, lease and well expenses decreased 18 percent on a per-unit basis.
In the third quarter 2016, total crude oil production increased 1 percent while exploration and development expenditures (excluding property acquisitions) decreased 32 percent, compared to the same period last year. Natural gas liquids production increased 5 percent, while total natural gas production for the third quarter 2016 decreased 10 percent versus the same prior year period.
"Even in a low commodity price environment, 2016 is proving to be a breakout year for EOG with record well productivity, sustainable cost reductions and organic growth in all our core plays, coupled with a historic transaction that adds substantial high-return growth potential," said William R. "Bill" Thomas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "EOG's third quarter accomplishments reflect the hard work and ingenuity of our great employees and our unique culture."
2020 Crude Oil Production Outlook and 2016 Capital Plan Update
As a result of continued improvements in capital efficiency which have been augmented by the Yates transaction, EOG is increasing its crude oil organic production growth outlook through 2020. The long term outlook includes growth from key areas such as the Eagle Ford, Delaware Basin, Rockies and the Bakken. In addition to the growth illustrated in the outlook, the company continues to evaluate high-quality emerging plays through its ongoing exploration efforts.
Assuming balanced spending including dividend payments and a flat $50 West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI) price, EOG now expects 15 percent compound annual crude oil production growth through 2020. If the assumed WTI price is increased to $60, EOG would expect 25 percent compound annual crude oil production growth through 2020. This reflects an increase from the company's prior outlook of 10 to 20 percent growth at $50 to $60 WTI.
"EOG's future has never been brighter, and we are already in a position to make a material improvement to the long-term outlook we provided last quarter," Thomas said. "The company-wide premium drilling strategy and the recently closed Yates transaction are significantly boosting capital efficiency and enabling us to extend our lead in unconventional resource productivity."
For 2016, EOG is increasing its capital spending guidance range by $200 million to $2.6 to $2.8 billion, excluding acquisitions. The spending increase will be directed toward well completions, which are now targeted to increase from the initial plan of 270 and the prior revised forecast of 350 to 450 net wells in 2016. Drilling productivity continues to improve, and the company now expects to drill 290 net wells, 40 more than its prior forecast and 90 more than its original 2016 plans.
Delaware Basin
EOG increased its Delaware Basin net resource potential by 155 percent to 6.0 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BnBoe) in the third quarter 2016 (inclusive of the recent Yates transaction). Delaware Basin net well locations increased by 27 percent to 6,330. The average planned lateral length for these locations increased from 4,500 feet to over 7,000 feet.
"With the Yates transaction, EOG's Delaware Basin position now exceeds 400,000 net acres in the core window of this world-class play," Thomas said. "Our technical and operational advances applied to the combined assets have produced a major increase in EOG's Delaware Basin potential. As we continue to make advances in cost management and technology, we believe our resource potential over time will continue to increase in both size and quality."
In the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp, EOG increased its net resource potential from 1.3 BnBoe to 2.9 BnBoe and net well locations from 2,130 to 2,660. For the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp oil play, EOG's average gross reserves per well increased to 1,330 thousand barrels of crude oil equivalent (MBoe) from 750 MBoe, while average gross reserves per well increased to 1,550 MBoe from 900 MBoe in the combo portion of the play.
For the Delaware Basin Second Bone Spring, EOG increased its net resource potential from 0.5 BnBoe to 1.4 BnBoe and net well locations from 1,250 to 1,870. Average gross reserves per well increased to 950 MBoe from 500 MBoe.
EOG also increased its Delaware Basin Leonard net resource potential from 0.6 BnBoe to 1.7 BnBoe and net well locations from 1,600 to 1,800. Average gross reserves per well increased to 1,175 MBoe from 500 MBoe.
In the third quarter 2016, EOG completed 22 wells in the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp with an average treated lateral length of 4,800 feet per well and an average 30-day initial production rate per well of 2,350 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boed), or 1,675 Bopd, 275 barrels per day (Bpd) of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 2.4 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas. In the Delaware Basin Second Bone Spring, EOG completed four wells in the third quarter with an average treated lateral length of 4,600 feet per well and an average 30-day initial production rate per well of 1,240 Boed, or 940 Bopd, 120 Bpd of NGLs and 1.1 MMcfd of natural gas.
South Texas Eagle Ford
EOG's oil-rich South Texas Eagle Ford acreage continued to deliver exceptional results in the third quarter 2016 and was once again the largest contributor to EOG's U.S. crude oil production.
In the third quarter, EOG completed 47 wells in the Eagle Ford with an average treated lateral length of 5,700 feet per well and an average 30-day initial production rate per well of 1,825 Boed, or 1,425 Bopd, 190 Bpd of NGLs and 1.3 MMcfd of natural gas.
