EOG Resources announced impressive results from the first quarter. The company's Eagle Ford wells just keep getting bigger.
A total of 18 wells produced more than 2,500 b/d of oil and nine more wells produced more than 3,500 b/d of oil. That's 27 wells that came online at rates greater than 2,500 b/d!
Stellar well performance has led to an increase in planned development in 2013. EOG now plans to drill 425 net wells compared to 400 planned previously.
Results from the Eagle Ford helped fuel company-wide crude oil production growth of 33% year-over-year.
"Our first quarter results clearly demonstrate EOG's ability to consistently execute a highly efficient crude oil drilling program while simultaneously trimming costs and continually making better wells," Papa said. "To further fuel EOG's momentum, we are channeling as much capital as possible into our high rate-of-return oil plays this year."
EOG is entering what it deems a period of "manufacturing-type" development that will drive down costs, while pursuing the most effective completions. Current development is planned at 40-65 acre well spacing. The company plans to add even more wells in 2014 if oil prices hold at current levels or better.
“Based on confidence in its current asset base and multi-year inventory of drilling locations, EOG is targeting sustained peer-group leading high growth rates of crude oil production for the 2013-2017 period, provided WTI prices remain at or above the mid-$80 level.”
