EOG Resources' Q3 EPS of $2.71 beat estimates but fell from $2.89 a year earlier.
Quarterly production jumped 21% to 119.7 MMBoe, driven by multi-basin portfolio gains.
Oil prices fell 14.3% year over year, offsetting benefits from higher gas and NGL volumes.

Total quarterly revenues of $5.85 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.95 billion. The top line also declined from $5.97 billion in the prior-year quarter.
The better-than-expected quarterly earnings were driven by higher oil-equivalent production volumes. This was partially offset by lower price realization.
In the quarter under review, total volumes increased 21% year over year to 119.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), driven by higher contributions from its multi-basin portfolio, comprising Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford and Utica. Our estimate for the same was pinned at 118.8 MMBoe.
