Encino Acquisition: Successfully closed the acquisition of Encino in early August, strengthening the portfolio with a third high-return foundational asset, diversifying production base, and accelerating free cash flow generation.
Utica Gas Window Development: Brought online the first well in the Utica gas window with strong results, indicating potential upside for future development.
Trinidad Mento Program: Completed the first wells of the Mento program with positive results, and plans to install the coconut platform in 2026.
UAE and Bahrain Exploration: Drilled initial wells in Bahrain and plans to spud the first well in the UAE, marking strategic international unconventional development.
International Expansion: Entered UAE and Bahrain markets for unconventional development, expanding EOG's international footprint.
Natural Gas Market Positioning: Positioned to deliver supply into growing markets driven by record LNG feed gas demand and increasing electricity demand.
Operational Efficiency Gains: Reduced Utica rig count from 5 to 4 while maintaining well completion targets, and achieved over 80% artificial lift optimization for Encino wells.
Cost Reductions: Lowered well costs by over 15% in the Delaware Basin and reduced breakeven prices by 10% in the Eagle Ford through operational improvements.
Service Cost Management: Locked in 45% of service costs for 2026 and observed slight reductions in high-spec equipment costs.
Capital Discipline: Maintained a leverage target of less than 1x total debt-to-EBITDA and a pristine balance sheet with $5.5 billion in liquidity.
Shareholder Returns: Returned $1 billion to shareholders in Q3 2025 through dividends and share repurchases, with a total of $4 billion remaining under the buyback authorization.
Sustainability Focus: Continued focus on lowering breakeven costs and generating sustainable free cash flow to support dividends and shareholder returns.
Commodity Price Volatility: The company acknowledges the impact of spare capacity returning to the oil market, which could lead to inventory builds and near-term oversupply. This dynamic could adversely affect oil prices in the short term.
Geopolitical Risks: Evolving geopolitical risks and reduced investment in new supply are highlighted as factors that could influence oil prices and market stability.
Service Costs: While some softening in service costs has been observed, high-spec equipment pricing remains resilient, and tariffs on non-casing steel products could offset potential cost reductions.
Integration Challenges: The integration of Encino assets, while progressing well, involves realizing $150 million in synergies and maintaining operational efficiency, which could pose challenges.
Regulatory and International Risks: The company’s entry into UAE and Bahrain for unconventional development introduces exposure to regulatory and operational risks in international markets.
Supply Chain and Infrastructure: The company relies on strategic infrastructure investments to lower costs, but any disruptions or delays in these projects could impact operational efficiency and breakeven costs.
Natural Gas Market Dynamics: The company’s positive outlook on natural gas is tied to structural drivers like LNG demand and electricity growth, but any changes in these dynamics could affect market conditions.
Oil Market Outlook: EOG expects inventories to build over the next few quarters due to spare capacity returning to the oil market. However, beyond this near-term oversupply, factors such as geopolitical risks, reduced investment in new supply, and demand growth are expected to support oil prices in the medium to long term.
Natural Gas Market Outlook: EOG remains positive on U.S. natural gas due to structural drivers like record LNG feed gas demand and growing electricity demand, which are expected to provide price support.
2026 Capital Allocation: Specifics on activity and capital spending for 2026 are not yet provided. However, EOG's capital allocation will remain focused on returns-driven investments, supply-demand fundamentals, and a reinvestment pace that balances short- and long-term free cash flows.
Encino Acquisition Synergies: EOG expects to realize $150 million in synergies from the Encino acquisition within the first year, primarily through lower well costs and operational efficiencies.
Utica Gas Window Potential: EOG brought its first well online in the Utica gas window, achieving an average 30-day IP of 35 million cubic feet per day. While the focus remains on the volatile oil window, the gas window presents potential upside over time.
Delaware Basin Development: EOG has achieved a 15% reduction in well costs over the last two years and increased average lateral lengths by over 20% in 2025. New targets in the basin are expected to deliver payback periods of less than one year and rates of return exceeding 100% at current prices.
Eagle Ford Breakeven Costs: EOG has reduced breakeven prices in the Eagle Ford by 10% for its 2025 program through extended lateral lengths and cost reductions.
Trinidad and Gulf States Exploration: EOG plans to commence installation of the Coconut platform in Trinidad in 2026 and is advancing the Barrel oil discovery towards FID. Initial wells have been drilled in Bahrain, and the first well in the UAE is expected to spud this quarter.
Service Costs Outlook: EOG has observed a low single-digit reduction in spot rates for high-spec equipment, partially offset by tariffs. Approximately 45% of service costs for 2026 are locked in, with opportunities to capitalize on further market softening.
Regular Dividend: EOG has paid $2.2 billion in regular dividends through the first three quarters of 2025. The regular dividend for 2025 is $3.95 per share, an 8% increase over 2024. The latest dividend payment was $1.02 per share, equating to an annualized rate of $4.08 per share or a 3.9% dividend yield at the current share price. EOG has never cut or suspended its dividend in 27 years.
Share Repurchase Program: EOG has repurchased $1.8 billion worth of shares in 2025, with nearly $450 million in share repurchases during the third quarter alone. Since initiating buybacks in 2023, EOG has repurchased nearly 50 million shares, approximately 9% of shares outstanding. The company has $4 billion remaining under its current buyback authorization.
