February 9, 2010
Repost This

HOUSTON, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) (EOG) today reported fourth quarter 2009 net income available to common stockholders of $400.4 million, or $1.58 per share. This compares to fourth quarter 2008 net income available to common stockholders of $461.5 million, or $1.84 per share. For the full year 2009, EOG reported net income available to common stockholders of $546.6 million, or $2.17 per share as compared to $2,436.5 million, or $9.72 per share, for the full year 2008.

The results for the fourth quarter 2009 included a non-cash gain on a property exchange in the Rocky Mountain area of $389.6 million ($244.2 million after tax, or $0.97 per share), a gain on sale of assets of $146.5 million ($91.8 million after tax, or $0.36 per share) related to the disposition of crude oil assets and surrounding acreage in California and a previously disclosed non-cash net gain of $25.9 million ($16.7 million after tax, or $0.07 per share) on the mark-to-market of financial commodity transactions. During the quarter, the net cash inflow related to financial commodity contracts was $290.6 million ($186.6 million after tax, or $0.74 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 available to common stockholders for the quarter was $234.3 million, or $0.92 per share. Adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter 2008 was $186.0 million, or $0.74 per share. On a similar basis, eliminating the items detailed in the attached table, adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the full year 2009 was $754.5 million, or $3.00 per share, and for the full year 2008 was $1,879.1 million, or $7.50 per share. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders to GAAP net income available to common stockholders.)

2009 Operational Highlights

EOG delivered 6.5 percent total company production growth over 2008. Total liquids production in North America increased 30 percent, comprised of 23 percent growth in crude oil and condensate and 48 percent in natural gas liquids. In the United States, the substantial increase in total liquids production was primarily driven by ongoing exploration and development drilling in the North Dakota Bakken and Fort Worth Barnett Shale Combo Plays.

“Over the last several years, we have channeled a greater amount of EOG’s capital expenditure program toward crude oil and liquids-rich opportunities. The resulting increase in our liquids volumes, which is significant, reflects EOG’s progress in shifting toward a more balanced mix in our North American production portfolio,” said Mark G. Papa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

With a position in excess of 500,000 net acres in the North Dakota Bakken, EOG focused drilling operations on its 100,000 net acres in the Bakken Core during the first part of 2009. As crude oil pricing gradually improved over the course of the year, EOG expanded its drilling program outside of the Parshall Field to its Bakken Lite acreage. Additionally, EOG began testing its first wells in the Three Forks Formation in both the Core Parshall Field and the Bakken Lite. Initial production profiles are encouraging with recoverable reserves expected to be similar to those in the Bakken Lite.

The Van Hook 100-15H, which was drilled in Mountrail County, N.D., tested the Three Forks Formation in the Parshall Field. EOG has 30 percent working interest in the well, which began initial production at a rate of 1,390 barrels of oil per day (Bopd). Also in Mountrail County, EOG drilled two Bakken Lite wells toward the end of the year. The Ross 05-08H began initial production at 370 Bopd with estimated reserves of 350 thousand barrels of oil (Mbo). EOG has 100 percent working interest in the well. To test a longer length lateral, EOG drilled the James Hill 01-31H. The well began initial production at 650 Bopd, in-line with pre-drill expectations. EOG holds 79 percent working interest in this well. Extending the productive area of its acreage, EOG drilled a well in Williams County, 90 miles west of the Parshall Field. The Round Prairie 1-17H, in which EOG has 95 percent working interest, is producing at a stabilized rate of 450 Bopd and is expected to have a similar production profile as a Bakken Lite well.

Having recognized the need for additional crude oil takeaway capacity from the Williston Basin, EOG designed, constructed and placed in service at year-end a rail and pipeline system to transport its crude oil from the core of this prolific basin, Stanley, N.D., to a market hub, Cushing, Okla. This unique transportation solution will improve the pricing and overall economics of EOG’s Bakken crude oil production. In addition, EOG’s Prairie Rose Pipeline was recently placed in service, which interconnects with a mainline system that transports natural gas to a processing plant near Chicago, Ill.

In an effort to focus on its more geographically concentrated western U.S. drilling operations, EOG divested its non-core California crude oil properties during the fourth quarter.

In the Fort Worth Basin, EOG commissioned a plant in February 2009 that extracts natural gas liquids from the rich natural gas production stream of the Barnett Combo Play. This enabled EOG to move into development drilling of both vertical and horizontal wells in Montague and Cooke Counties. EOG recently completed four vertical wells in Cooke County. The Dangelmayr #5 and B#6 began initial production at rates of 700 Bopd with 450 thousand cubic feet of natural gas per day (Mcfd), and 500 Bopd with 300 Mcfd, respectively. The Fitzgerald #2 and #14 began production at initial rates of 300 Bopd with 200 Mcfd and 450 Bopd with 400 Mcfd, respectively. EOG has 100 percent working interest in the wells. In Montague County, using horizontal technology, EOG recently completed the Boyd B #1H, which began flowing to sales at 300 Bopd with 1,500 Mcfd, and the Flying V #1H, at 250 Bopd with 1,400 Mcfd. EOG has 96 and 100 percent working interest in the wells, respectively. Already realizing the benefits of its refined completion techniques and improved operational efficiencies, EOG is testing optimal well spacing on its Fort Worth Barnett Combo acreage.

In an area where EOG had previously focused on the Haynesville, EOG reported strong production results from its first Bossier natural gas test. The Sustainable Forest 5 – No. 2 Alt., drilled to a vertical depth of 11,400 feet in the Trenton prospect area in DeSoto Parish, La., began producing at 13 million cubic feet per day. EOG has 100 percent working interest in the well that is estimated to have reserves in excess of 8 billion cubic feet. EOG is currently operating five rigs in the Trenton prospect where it is drilling and developing both the Bossier and Haynesville reservoirs concurrently.

2010 Operational Plans and Targets

Carrying the momentum of a strong operational year forward into 2010, EOG continues to target 13 percent total company full year organic production growth over 2009 with a 47 percent increase in total liquids production. The liquids growth will be driven by expanded operations in the North Dakota Bakken where EOG plans to execute an active drilling program in the Bakken Core and Lite, as well as the Three Forks Formation. Also fueling the liquids growth will be an increased level of drilling activity in the Fort Worth Barnett Combo and the Waskada Field in Manitoba.

EOG’s North American natural gas production is expected to increase 2 percent over 2009. Plans are to ramp up activity levels in the Haynesville, Bossier and Marcellus Shales during the second half of the year. In the Horn River Basin, EOG will operate an active drilling program in the first half of the year, with the goal of completing and turning wells to sales during the second half of 2010.

Reserves

At December 31, 2009, total company proved reserves were approximately 10.8 trillion cubic feet equivalent, an increase of 2,087 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe), or 24 percent higher than year-end 2008.

For the year-end 2009 reserve report, EOG applied new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules regarding the estimation of proved natural gas and crude oil reserves. In accordance with those rules, the proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) category has been revised to allow the use of “reliable technology” to establish “reasonable certainty” of production for drilling locations beyond “one offset” for a producing well. The SEC has also imposed a five-year limit for the development of PUDs unless there is a specific reason for a longer period. Based on this definition and its applicability to large resource plays, EOG has added significant PUDs in the Haynesville, Horn River, Barnett Combo and Marcellus Shale Plays at precisely mapped locations which have been tied back to a plan that is executable within the next five years.

In 2009:

  • Total reserve replacement from all sources – the ratio of net reserve additions from drilling, acquisitions, total revisions and dispositions to total production – was 364 percent at a total reserve replacement cost of $1.18 per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) based on cash exploration and development expenditures of $3,436 million. (Please refer to the attached tables for the calculation of total reserve replacement and total reserve replacement cost.)
  • In the United States, total reserve replacement from all sources was 431 percent at a reserve replacement cost of $1.21 per Mcfe based on cash exploration and development expenditures of $3,037 million. (Please refer to the attached tables for the calculation of total reserve replacement and total reserve replacement cost.)
  • During 2009, price related revisions were negative 786 Bcfe. Excluding the impact of price related revisions, total reserve replacement was 464 percent at a reserve replacement cost of $0.93 per Mcfe.

For the 22nd consecutive year, internal reserve estimates were within 5 percent of those prepared by the independent reserve engineering firm of DeGolyer and MacNaughton (D&M). For 2009, D&M prepared a complete independent engineering analysis of properties containing 81 percent of EOG’s proved reserves on a Bcfe basis.

Capital Structure

At December 31, 2009, EOG’s total debt outstanding was $2,797 million for a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 22 percent. Taking into account cash on the balance sheet of $686 million, at the end of the year EOG’s net debt was $2,111 million and the net debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 17 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).)

“We expect our year-end net debt-to-total capital ratio of 17 percent will be among the lowest of our peer group,” said Papa. “This accomplishment, coupled with our 10-year average ROCE of 18 percent, reflects EOG’s long standing commitment to deliver superior stockholder returns. It is likely that EOG will be one of a few peer E&P companies to report positive GAAP net income for 2009.”

(Please refer to the attached tables for the calculation of return on capital employed (ROCE) and the related reconciliations of after-tax interest expense (non-GAAP), net debt (non-GAAP), and total capitalization (non-GAAP) as used in the calculations of ROCE, to interest expense (GAAP), current and long-term debt (GAAP), and total capitalization (GAAP).)

Dividend Increase

Following an increase in the common stock dividend in 2009, EOG’s Board of Directors has again increased the cash dividend on the common stock. Effective with the dividend payable on April 30, 2010 to holders of record as of April 16, 2010, the quarterly dividend on the common stock will be $0.155 per share, an increase of 7 percent over the previous indicated annual rate. The indicated annual rate of $0.62 per share is the 11th increase in 11 years.

    The following chart adjusts three-month and twelve-month periods ended
    December 31, 2009 and 2008 reported Net Income Available to Common
    Stockholders (GAAP) to reflect actual net cash realized from financial
    commodity price transactions by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market
    (gains) losses from these transactions, to eliminate the gain on a
    property exchange in the Rocky Mountain area and the gain on the sale of
    EOG's California assets in the fourth quarter of 2009 and to eliminate the
    gain on the sale of EOG's Appalachian assets in the first quarter of 2008.
    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.

    The following chart reconciles Total Costs Incurred in Exploration and
    Development Activities (GAAP) to Total Exploration and Development
    Expenditures for Drilling Only (Non-GAAP) and Total Exploration and
    Development Expenditures (Non-GAAP),  as used in the calculation of
    Reserve Replacement Costs per Mcfe. There are numerous ways that industry
    participants present Reserve Replacement Costs, including "Drilling Only"
    and "All-In", which reflect total exploration and development expenditures
    divided by total net proved reserve additions from extensions and
    discoveries only, or 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.

    The following chart reconciles Current and Long-Term Debt (GAAP) to Net
    Debt (Non-GAAP) and Total Capitalization (GAAP) to Total Capitalization
    (Non-GAAP), as used in the Net Debt-to-Total Capitalization ratio
    calculation. A portion of the cash is associated with international
    subsidiaries; tax considerations may impact debt paydown. EOG believes
    this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of
    some industry analysts who utilize Net Debt and Total Capitalization
    (Non-GAAP) in their Net Debt-to-Total Capitalization ratio calculation.
