How did rising crude prices contribute to EOG Resources' second-quarter earnings beat?

EOG Resources beat analysts' second-quarter profit estimate of $4.98 per share with an adjusted profit of $5.07 per share, driven by a surge in crude prices—particularly due to concerns over the war in Iran disrupting Middle East oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. This caused Brent crude to average $126.41 per barrel in April (up from $69.82 in January) and WTI to rise to $109.64 (from $65.17), lifting EOG’s average realized oil price to $98.15 per barrel in Q2—up from $64.82 a year earlier.

What operational milestones and production guidance did EOG Resources report for the second quarter and beyond?

EOG reported second-quarter oil production of 548,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), up from 504,200 boed a year earlier, and expects third-quarter volumes between 546,000 and 551,000 boed. The company established oil production in the United Arab Emirates after two one-mile lateral wells each produced over 25,000 barrels in their first 30 days. It forecasts 5% oil production growth and 14% total production growth for the year, with annual capital expenditures projected at $6.3–$6.7 billion.
