Frequently Asked Questions

EOG's strong financial performance in 2022 was primarily driven by significantly higher average realized prices for crude oil, NGLs, and natural gas, coupled with an increase in production volumes across its key U.S. operating areas, particularly the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford play.

EOG is managing inflationary pressures through a focus on increasing drilling, completion, and operating efficiencies, implementing programs like downhole drilling motors and enhanced completion techniques, and securing service costs through agreements with providers. The company expects these initiatives to largely offset inflationary impacts on 2023 well costs.
