For the full year 2020, EOG estimates that a $1.00 per barrel increase in crude oil and condensate prices, combined with estimated changes in NGL prices, would result in an approximate $86 million increase in net income and a $112 million increase in pretax cash flows. Similarly, a $0.10 per thousand cubic feet increase in natural gas prices is estimated to increase net income by approximately $26 million and pretax cash flows by $34 million.

In the second quarter of 2020, EOG anticipated a net loss of $126 million on the mark-to-market valuation of its financial commodity derivative contracts. However, the company received $639 million in net cash from the settlements of these derivative contracts during the same period.

Has EOG entered into new derivative contracts since its last filing?
