Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
EOG Resources benefits from oil above $85 and its 12 billion BOE resource base.
Rising LNG exports and AI-driven power demand support EOG's natural gas outlook.
EOG shares gained 41% in a year, while its 5.34X EV/EBITDA remains below the industry average.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is trading at more than $85 per barrel, according to data from oilprice.com, owing to the persisting tensions in the Middle East. With EOG Resources Inc.(EOG - Free Report) generating a significant proportion of revenues from crude oil and condensate, the high price of the commodity is extremely favorable for the leading oil and gas exploration and production company.
The prolific multi-basin portfolio of EOG Resources comprises as much as 12 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources. With oil prices likely to remain high, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the company, having diversified set of oil & gas assets, is expected to continue generating handsome cash flows for its shareholders.
EOG is also well-positioned to gain on the rising demand for natural gas from increasing exports of LNG and massive consumption of electricity by AI data centers.
COP & XOM Also Well-Positioned to Gain?
The handsome crude pricing environment is also favorable for ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) and Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM - Free Report) , as the businesses of both companies are linked to the crude pricing environment.
COP also has low-cost drilling opportunities across the Permian, the Eagle Ford and the Bakken that could be successfully developed over two decades. Thus, the outlook for ConocoPhillips’ upstream operations looks highly profitable.
Coming to the XOM story, the upstream giant has a strong footprint in the Permian, the most prolific oil and gas play in the United States, and offshore Guyana. In the Permian, the integrated giant has been employing lightweight proppant technology and hence is capable of boosting its well recoveries.
