Summary
EOG Resources Inc. (EOG) has issued an 8-K filing on September 23, 2008, to provide an update on its production guidance for the third quarter and full year 2008. Despite production curtailments of approximately 50 MMcfed due to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike impacting the Gulf of Mexico and coastal Texas, the company is reiterating its third quarter total company estimated production range of 1,944 MMcfed to 2,103 MMcfed. This reiteration is supported by stronger-than-expected production from its Rocky Mountain operating area. More significantly, EOG is increasing its full-year 2008 total company production growth target from 15.0% to a new range of 15.0% to 15.5%. This upward revision indicates confidence in the company's operational performance and ability to overcome challenges.
