Investment Thesis

Based off of key industry metrics and quantitative factors, EOG is unable to produce crude oil, liquid natural gas and natural gas as efficiently as its peers.

EOG’s  management  has  laid  out  that  they  are  positioning  the  company  for  an energy recovery, management has not discussed any immediate plans to generate returns for investors.

With proven reserves in key low cost oil and gas plays exponentially

decreasing, EOG is relying on an oil price recovery to stay profitable. If this recovery does not happen in the near future EOG will be in trouble.

EOG’s  stock  price  has  depreciated  the  least  out  of  all  of  its  competitors  

since the energy crisis started. This may indicate limited upside once energy prices rebound.

Business Overview

EOG Resources Inc. is an energy company that explores, develops, produces, processes and markets crude oil, crude oil equivalent, liquid natural gas and natural gas. These fossil fuels are extracted from deep in the ground and are hundreds of thousands years old. EOG Resources is considered one of the largest and most influential independent oil and gas companies in the world. Independent energy companies are similar to integrated energy companies such as Chevron and Shell but are different in the fact that they do not operate in all three energy production segments. These three production segments are upstream (exploration and production), midstream (marketing and storage) and downstream (refining). Downstream production is sometimes split into two operations, these are refining and final sale. EOG operates an upstream exploration and production segment as well as a midstream energy marketing segment.

A  majority  of  EOG’s  business  comes from domestic shale oil and gas plays. EOG extracts a vast majority of its oil and gas from drilling activities in the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, Bakken, Barnett and Rocky Mountain areas. In addition to these domestic oil and gas plays EOG also operates internationally in Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom and China. Last year EOG sold off a majority of its tar sands operations in Canada for $400 million and now only maintains a small presence there. As of December 31st, 2014 EOG held proven reserves that totaled 2,497 MMBoe, of this 1140 MMBbl were crude oil and condensate, 467 MMBbl were natural gas liquids and 890 MMBoe (5343 BcF) were natural gas reserves. This ratio of oil to natural gas is changing as over  79%  of  EOG’s  new  discoveries last year were deemed to be crude oil and condensates.

EOG strives to generate capital by controlling operating expenses while maximizing oil recoveries. In addition the company focuses on using cost-effective advances in technology to find and develop low cost reserves. In the company’s  upstream  production  segment  EOG  tries  to  remain  on  the  cutting  edge of technology by employing a large team of geologists and geophysicists. Once they locate a reserve and it is deemed profitable, EOG drills on the site using hydraulic fracking and other extraction techniques. After the energy is extracted  it  is  stored  and  transported  using  their  midstream  segment’s  infrastructure before it is marketed and sent to third party downstream refiners. In addition, EOG handles the transport and marketing of energy from third party companies that do not have a midstream segment. A majority of their marketing takes place in Cushing, Oklahoma and Saint James, Louisiana. EOG has a very diverse clientele where not one downstream customer accounted for more than five percent of their total sales volume.

EOG prices a majority of their natural resources according to the futures prices of WTI Crude and NYMEX Natural Gas. They sell their liquid natural gas on the free market since it is not a traded commodity. This being said, liquid natural gas’  price  is  heavily  correlated  with  the  price  of  normal  natural  gas.  EOG  has  practically no control over the price at which their resources are sold which creates unique risks and opportunities for them. They attempt to offset some of this risk by entering into futures contracts on their crude oil and gas production. EOG was incorporated in 1999 after splitting off from Enron where it was formally known as Enron Oil and Gas Company. EOG is currently based in Houston, Texas where it employs over 3,000 foreign and national employees. In addition

Industry Overview The worldwide oil and gas industry has seen explosive growth over the past several years. Energy production and extraction takes place on almost every continent and almost every region of the world. Technology and extraction techniques vary greatly by geographic location and regulatory climate. There are some producers who boil tar sands in the plains of Alberta to extract oil and others in Saudi Arabia that practically sip petrochemicals out of the ground with nothing more than a straw. In the United States and around the world a majority of the current oil producers use techniques that are designed to speed up the extraction process while increasing the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) of a well.

EOG Resources and their main competitors primarily use an extraction technique called hydraulic fracturing to extract oil, natural gas and liquid natural gas out of the ground. This process involves drilling deep into a shale formation and pumping a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals into this geological formation. The goal is to crack the shale with the water and the chemical mixture, after this is completed the sand is deposited in the shale creating gaps and fissures that allows the natural gas and oil to escape. The natural gas is then captured at the wellhead on the ground level. After the initial, “frack”  which  only  lasts  a  couple  of  days  a  well  is  able  to  supply  oil  or  gas  for  roughly 30 to 40 years with little to no maintenance.

The oil and gas industry three main segments. These three main segments are upstream, midstream and downstream. EOG is an independent oil and gas producer, which means that they do not participate in production of oil and gas from start to finish. EOG has a midstream and upstream segment but not a downstream  segment.  They  are  not  fully,  “integrated”  because  they  do  not  operate a downstream segment that refines and purifies their product. On the flip side, companies that refine oil and gas but do not extract it are also considered independent energy companies. Major integrated companies are mega-caps such as Exxon-Mobil, BP and Chevron. Upstream companies are involved in the exploration and extraction of petrochemicals. Midstream companies transport and market the natural resource to refiners. Downstream companies refine and sell the finished product to individual consumers. All of these producers are reliant are constantly having to update their current technology to stay competitive.

Another important technique that upstream oil producers use to reduce the volatility of the futures market is to hedge their future energy production. EOG currently has 47 MBbld of oil hedged for the second quarter at a price of $91.22, 10 MBbld of oil hedged at $89.98 for the third and fourth quarters and 182,000 MMBtu of Natural Gas hedged at $4.51 for the second through fourth quarters. Although this only accounts for a fraction of their estimated 596.2 MBoed, this hedging allows EOG to escape to some of the risk associated with exploring for and producing oil.

Regulation EOG and its domestic competitors are all subject to the same types of regulation that are designed to protect the environment while still allowing oil companies to profit. The most notable regulations that EOG is subject to are the following:

Clean Water Act - This law is meant to prevent surface water from being contaminated from oil and gas extraction.

Clear Air Act - This regulation requires EOG to report emissions from their operations. They also must obtain air permits at their drill sites.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act - This law taxes upstream producers and the revenue it set aside in a trust to clean up abandoned drill sites.

Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act – This law mandates EOG to contact local communities to give notice that they are drilling in the area.

Endangered Species Act – This law is meant to protect endangered wildlife. It requires the company to check with local conservationists to be sure they are not destroying  an  endangered  animal’s  habitat.

Oil Pollution Act of 1990 – This act affects both the upstream and midstream portions  of  EOG’s  business.  It  mandates  that  oil  producers  clean  up  any  oil  spills  to minimize environmental damage.

Resources Conservation and Recovery Act – This law mandates EOG to dispose of hazardous waste properly as to not affect human health.

Safe Drinking Water Act – This act is similar to the clean water act but protects ground water and aquafers as well as surface water.

Macro factors As an exploration and production energy corporation, EOG Resources is extremely sensitive to macroeconomic factors. Unlike many other industries the oil and gas industry has virtually no control over the price of their product. The recent collapse of energy prices has undoubtedly affected this segment of the market causing investors to question whether energy will continue to plummet or rebound. Even with the recent collapse of energy prices, oil and natural gas are still considered essential components to the global economy. Without these energy sources global commerce would be at a standstill. Both domestically and internationally energy consumption is correlated with economic prosperity and growth.

Since EOG resources produces the vast majority of their oil and natural gasses domestically, the company is reliant on the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude as well as NYMEX natural gas. Both of these classes of commodities have been trading at a discount since their record peaks in June of 2014. There are several reasons why energy is currently trading around levels that have not been seen since the 2008 recession. With oil at $110 a barrel it became extremely attractive to extract oil from shale and oil sands. These were considered,  “unconventional”  ways  to  extract  oil  due  to  difficulty  and  high  exploration and input costs. This increase in production paired with a reduction in Middle Eastern conflicts caused there to be a large surplus of oil. Paired with decreased international oil subsidies and recessions in Russia, Germany and Japan  oil  prices  started  to  drop.  Finally,  OPEC,  the  world’s  largest  energy  cartel  is continuing to allow oil prices to drop, they are doing this to push competitors out of the market. Many are predicting oil to rebound to around $60 a barrel by the end of the year, this is a far cry from the $110 we saw last year but would allow domestic shale producers to continue producing oil at a profit. In addition if Iran is able to start exporting their oil reserves this could dampen a price rebound and prices will continue to be depressed.

Competition EOG Resources experiences competition from other independent oil and gas companies as well as integrated oil and gas companies. They mainly compete with these companies for mineral rights, licenses, facilities, equipment and materials needed to explore for, produce and market oil, gas and liquid natural gas.  Many  of  EOG’s  competitors  also  have  competitive  advantages  due  to  substantially more financial and government resources. Examples of competitors with substantially more financial resources include Exxon and BP. Competitors that possess greater government support are international competitors that are backed  by  their  states,  Saudi  Aramco  and  Russia’s  Gazprom.  Domestic  exploration and production competitors include Anadarko Petroleum, Occidental Petroleum, Noble energy, Devon energy and Pioneer Natural Resources. These companies compete with EOG in key markets such as the Eagle Ford Shale, Bakken  Shale  and  Delaware  Basin.  EOG’s  ability  to  develop  low  cost  acreage  is  a key strategy the company uses to set itself apart from the competition. Companies that indirectly compete with EOG resources to a lesser extent are alternative energy sources. Examples of these competitors are SolarCity and Vestas.

Strategic Positioning EOG Resources has operations in the United States, Canada, Trinidad, China and the United Kingdom. 47% of their net proven reserves were oil, 19% were LNG and 34% were natural gas. Over 90% of their net proven reserves were located in the United States in key regions such as the Eagle Ford Shale, Bakken Shale, Rocky Mountain, Permian Basin and Barnett Shale. The Eagle Ford Shale is located in Southern Texas and continues to provide EOG with millions of barrels of oil equivalent worth of energy. EOG is the largest producer in the Eagle Ford area controlling 561,000 of the 624,000 total acres that exist   there.   This   oilfield   is   considered   the   centerpiece   of   EOG’s   oil   and   gas  portfolio and has provided EOG with over 200 million barrels worth of oil. EOG is able to keep production costs down in this area by sourcing its own frack sand and taking advantage of its midstream transportation routes. Also located in Texas, the Permian Basin provides EOG with both crude oil and liquid natural gas. The company holds over 420,000 acres in this region with only a small amount of this total acreage developed. This region produces roughly 33,000 barrels of oil and NGL per day. Management outlined that they expect to continue exploiting this low cost play by adding 95 new wells in 2015. The Rocky Mountain and Bakken area of North Dakota both provide an abundance of natural gas and natural gas liquids. EOG is using this region to test the effects of spacing wells closer or further apart. They believe that by placing wells close together they will be able to pressurize multiple sides of the shale creating faster and more efficient fracks. They plan on producing 72 MBoed next year from this region. The 306,000 acre Barnett Shale in Texas produces natural gas. The company is testing different rock formations in the area to discover if the Vicksburg and Frio trends will yield in natural gas or natural gas liquids. For its domestic midstream segment EOG has contracts to deliver 56.5 MBbld of crude old in 2015 and 59.4 MBbld in 2016 to various refineries. They also have an unloading facility in Cushing, Oklahoma which is capable of handling 72 unit trainloads  of  oil  and  gas.  In  addition  to  this  facility  in  Oklahoma  EOG’s  facility  in Saint James, Louisiana has the capacity to handle 120MBbld of oil at a time. These two trading hubs make up a majority of the companies midstream business domestically.

Internationally, the company has reduced its presence by scaling back its Canadian operations and selling $400 million worth of production assets. Besides Canada, EOG has subsidiaries in Trinidad. These operations include an 80% working interest in an offshore exploration company, an 80% interest in the Pelican Field, a 50% working interest in the exploration of a government controlled offshore area. Also in Trinidad, they hold minority interests in two anhydrous ammonia operations. In China, rights for a natural gas field were acquired from ConocoPhillips, this operation is small and yields roughly 8.5 MMcfd of natural gas. Finally, in the United Kingdom, EOG operates a small operation yielding less than 0.1 MMcfd of natural gas. EOG is expected to exploit all of these oil and gas fields once energy prices bounce back. The management believes that they are positioning themselves to succeed after prices bounce back by operating in these domestic and foreign areas. Business Growth Strategies Due to the downswing in oil and natural gas prices, EOG’s  management  has  stated  that they will deviate away from their traditional growth strategies of drilling anywhere and everywhere. They will continue to drill for oil and natural gas, but they will be smarter and more efficient. Management has stated that in order to be successful in this bearish energy market they will need to exploit low cost plays. In addition they will utilize efficient low-cost technology that will enable them to generate maximum returns. They are confident in their ability to do this and believe this will position them for success when energy prices rebound. For fiscal year 2015 management outlined that they will extract around 298 MBblds of crude oil, around 84 MBblds of liquid natural gas and roughly 215 MBoeds of natural gas. A majority of this production will come from low cost plays in the Eagle Ford, Delaware Basin and Barnett Shale plays. After downsizing their operations in Canada and cutting production internationally EOG will look to expand domestically. They have plans to develop 80,000 acres of low cost acreage in the Delaware Basin. They believe that they can produce low cost wells at an average cost of $5.5 million per well by adopting new horizontal and vertical technologies and by spacing their wells closer together. At $5.5 million per well this would be a significant cost reduction. Average well costs in 2014 were $9.4 million and in 2013 a normal producing well cost the company around $10 million. They also believe that by placing these new wells closer together and by adopting new fracking techniques that production will be faster and more economical. These closely placed wells will pressurize the same area at multiple points which will force the natural resource out faster. In addition, these new wells will be built on low cost acreage acquired at low prices. They will also continue to produce natural gas liquids as the price for these liquids is expected to grow at a faster rate than traditional natural gas. In the Rocky Mountain area they are expected to increase production of liquids by at least 18%. Although management stated that they will not start any new upstream projects until oil is above $60 a barrel they will still continue to stake at future oil and gas plays. EOG is also continuing to increase the percentage of natural resources they extract from the Eagle Ford, Bakken, Permian and Barnett energy plays. In 2013 63% of their total production came from these areas and last year 69% of their total production came from these areas. They are doing this to decrease midstream transportation costs and because these regions are the most economical to produce in. EOG will all continue to grow organically unless an attractive low cost acquisition makes sense. They are also a potential buyout target with rumors that Statoil and Chevron are considering adding to their upstream and midstream portfolio.

Management and Employee Relations William Thomas – Age 62 – Chairman of the Board and CEO

Mr. Thomas was elected chairman of the board and CEO in January 2014. Prior to this position he worked as the manager of the Fort Worth, Texas as well as the executive vice president of production. Mr. Thomas has been with the company since 1979. His entire career has been devoted to the oil and gas industry. In addition, he is a Texas native having attended Texas A&M University. His current compensation in $906,731 in addition to stock options.

Gary Thomas – Age 65 – COO

Mr. Thomas has been the chief operating officer of the company since September 2011. Before this position he was the executive vice president of North American operations for EOG Resources. Mr. Thomas has been with the company for almost 40 years having joined the predecessor of EOG before it was acquired by Enron. His current compensation is $704,385 plus stock options.

Timothy Driggers – Age 53 – CFO

Mr. Driggers was appointed to chief financial officer in 2007. Before being the CFO of EOG, Mr. Driggers worked as the controller. Mr. Driggers worked at Arthur Andersen as a senior director  prior  to  EOG  and  received  his  Bachelor’s  Degree from the University of South Alabama. His base salary is $458,077 and in addition he receives stock options.

Management Guidance In  EOG’s  fiscal  year  2014  conference  call  management  stressed  the  importance  of cutting costs until the price of oil rebounds. They outlined several strategies for the year to accomplish this task. First, they are going to reduce new rigs by 50% in the coming year as this will help to drive down development and exploration costs. Next, they are going to add low cost acreage by purchasing mineral rights while the price of oil is down. Management also highlighted that even though they are able to generate a better return on $65 oil today than on $95 oil two years ago they will wait to grow production until oil is at least $60 a barrel. Since they are cash flow neutral at $65 a barrel management wants to wait for at least a $10 increase to ramps up production. Similar to what my NAV projects, management stated that if oil prices remain low and they do not continue to explore for more resources their reserves and production would decrease dramatically. The general theme of this call was that management wants to put the company in the best position to succeed after energy prices rebound.

Portfolio Strategy

EOG Resources is held in both the Tall Firs portfolio as well as the Svigals portfolio. Along with EOG there are three other independent oil companies we hold that are involved in upstream energy production (APC) (NE) (PXD). There is one integrated oil company we own that is involved in upstream production that we hold. (TSO). EOG was originally pitched on April 8th, 2011 by Cameron

Patrick  and  Owen  Hyde  at  a  price  of  $114.66  which  was  before  it’s  2:1  stock  split.  We have realized a gain of 59% percent since it was bought, the CAGR over the past four years is roughly 14.7%. We currently own 300 shares of EOG in the Tall Firs portfolio for a total value of $27,813. In the Svigals portfolio we own 54 shares for a current value of $4,925. This company is considered a mature value company which fits the goal of each of these portfolios. With the downswing in oil  prices  EOG’s  price  has  only  depreciated  about  15%  which  is  a  lot  less  than  some of the other energy companies we own including Anadarko, Noble Energy and Pioneer Natural Resources. This could indicate that EOG will not rebound as drastically when oil prices rebound because it is still trading at a premium relative to its peers.

Recent News

“Sector Snap: Energy stocks rise as Iran talks continue.” Associated Press – April 1st, 2015

As nuclear talks with Iran continue past the expected deadline energy stocks rise. Investors are anticipating that a deal will not be struck, if this happens Iran would still have sanctions on their oil exports. This would keep international supply constant and possibly help to raise the price in the future. Only three of the original six foreign ministers remain and many believe that a deal may fall through. If the deal is passed and Iran is allowed to export their oil, it could be very problematic for upstream oil companies such as EOG. This is because the global supply would be further increased leading to lower energy prices worldwide.

Catalysts

Upside

The  company’s  ability  to  cut  costs  gives  them  a  unique  advantage in the future. They are able to produce higher returns on $65 oil today than $95 oil two years ago.

EOG’s  ability  to  develop  low  cost  acreage  will  help  them  bounce  back  after oil prices rebound.

20 plus years of reliable reserves will give the company of margin of safety to find new low cost reserves

Last  year’s  $400  million  sale  of  production  assets  in  Canada  has  freed  up  a  lot  of  cash  to  be  used  at  management’s  discretion.  

New technology will allow EOG to produce natural gas and oil more efficiently in the coming years.

Downside

EOG only has a small fraction of their energy hedged this year which will hurt them due to low energy prices.

The recent drop in energy prices has caused production cuts which will hurt EOG in the coming year.

New regulation in the Rocky Mountain region could hold EOG liable for future and past environmental damages.

The uncertainty of energy prices has not caused EOG to drop as much as its peers leading to an over valuation.

If the recent talks in Iran allow them to export oil, both oil prices and EOG will be hurt.

Comparable Analysis

Comparable companies were chosen based on a combination of market capitalization, beta, debt to equity ratio, similarity of business plans and growth rates. All of these companies are based in the United States and operate in generally the same region as EOG resources. They also all have upstream as well as midstream operations. In addition all of these comparable companies are based in the United States and experience very similar risk factors as EOG Resources. When performing a comparable analysis for companies that engage in upstream oil production there are two specific industry multiples that are of extra importance. The first industry multiple used is enterprise value over daily production, which is measured in thousands of oil equivalent per day this was weighted 35%. The second industry specific multiple is enterprise value over EBITDAX, EBITDAX being EBITDA with exploration expense incorporated this was also weighted at 35%. These multiples allow one to compare the efficiency of upstream oil suppliers from a valuation standpoint. Enterprise value over EBITDA was also used, but weighted less than EV/EBITDA and EV/Daily Production to value the midstream segment of the business, this metric was  weighted  30%.  Since  I  did  not  perform  a  DCF  analysis  all  of  EOG’s  growth  rates and future projections were pulled off FactSet. These numbers were also double checked against management projections. In addition, EOG management guidance was in-line with FactSet projections.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) – 30% “Occidental Petroleum Corporation engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties in the United States and internationally. The company operates in three segments: Oil and Gas; Chemical; and Midstream, Marketing and Other. The Oil and Gas segment explores for, develops, and produces oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and natural gas. Its domestic oil and gas operations are located in Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Texas; and international oil and gas operations are located in Bahrain, Bolivia, Colombia, Iraq, Libya, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The company was founded in 1920 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.”  – Yahoo Finance

Occidental Petroleum is one of  EOG  Resource’s  major  competitors  that  is  also  based in Houston, Texas. Occidental Petroleum was one of my most heavily weighted  comparable  companies  for  several  reasons.  To  start,  OXY’s  revenue,  EBITDA  and  EPS  growth  rates  are  almost  identical  to  EOG’s growth rates, take 2016 revenue growth for example, EOG is growing at 15.70% while OXY is growing at 15.80%. In addition, both companies operate domestically and internationally with a vast majority of production coming from domestic markets. These two companies both operate in Texas, Colorado and North Dakota extracting the same types of resources using similar technologies. In addition to their upstream segment both of these companies operate a midstream-marketing segment that accounts for a significant portion of revenue. Finally, these two companies have a similar beta, similar market cap and similar D/E levels.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (APC) – 30% “Anadarko  Petroleum  Corporation  engages in the exploration, development, production, and marketing of oil and gas properties. It operates through three segments: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production; Midstream; and Marketing. The Oil and Gas Exploration and Production segment explores for and produces natural gas, oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The Midstream segment provides gathering, processing, treating, and transportation services to Anadarko and third-party oil, natural-gas, and NGLs producers, as well as owns and operates gathering, processing, treating, and transportation systems in the United States. The Marketing segment markets oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation was founded in 1959 and is headquartered in The  Woodlands,  Texas.”  – Yahoo Finance

Anadarko Petroleum is another Houston area based competitor that operates in the same market as EOG Resources. Anadarko, like EOG Resources is an upstream and midstream producer of petroleum, liquid natural gas and natural gas. This company was heavily weighted at 30% due to its fundamental similarities to EOG Resources. In addition to a similar beta, market cap and D/E Ratio were also very comparable. Since APC operates in the same space as EOG, revenue, EBITDA and EPS growth rates were similar as well. Anadarko also has a large majority of their production coming from domestic plays that are shared with EOG Resources. In shared key markets such as Texas and North Dakota there are stories of APC and EOG bidding for the mineral rights of the exact same acreage. With the exception of Anadarko’s  more  extensive  offshore  drilling operations, these two companies also have very similar extraction techniques and are subject to almost identical risk factors. In addition this company is held in the UOIG equity portfolios.

Noble Energy, Inc. (NBL) – 20%

“Noble  Energy,  Inc.,  an  independent  energy  company,  engages  in  the  acquisition, exploration, and production of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids worldwide. Its principal projects are located in onshore DJ Basin and Marcellus Shale, the United States; the deep-water Gulf of Mexico; offshore West Africa; and offshore Eastern Mediterranean. As of December 31, 2014, the company had approximately 1,404 million barrels oil equivalent of total proved reserves. Noble Energy, Inc. was founded in 1932 and is headquartered in Houston,  Texas.”  – Yahoo Finance

Similar to EOG Resources, Noble Energy engages in both upstream and midstream energy production. However, this company operates on both land and performs sea drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Africa. This company has almost the exact same beta as EOG Resources, is a large cap stock and has relatively similar growth rates. After spinning off a portion of their offshore rigs last year Noble Energy is now very comparable to EOG Resources. It has similar exposure in key markets in Texas and is subject to many of the same risks as EOG Resources. They also own a 34% stake in a midstream production company, which gives them exposure in upstream and midstream markets. I choose to weight Noble at 20% because of these similar risks. I did not weight it more than 20% because of their involvement with sea drilling and growth rates that are not quite as in-line compared to some other comps

Devon Energy Corporation (DVN) – 10%

natural gas liquids (NGLs) in the United States and Canada. It holds interests in various properties located in Anadarko Basin, Barnett Shale, Eagle Ford, Mississippian-Woodford Trend, Permian Basin, and Rockies in the United States, as well as in the Jackfish and Pike heavy oil projects located in Alberta, Canada. As of December 31, 2014, the company had 689 MMBoe of proved undeveloped reserves. It operates approximately 19,000 wells. The company also offers marketing and midstream services. Devon Energy Corporation was founded  in  1971  and  is  headquartered  in  Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma.”  – Yahoo Finance

Devon Energy operates in the same area as EOG Resources acting as an upstream and midstream producer of oil, natural gas, liquid natural gas and bitumen, which is a component in asphalt. They have a risk profile that is similar to EOG Resources and operate in the same geographical area. They have a similar beta and area large cap company. Their growth rates are slightly less dramatic  than  EOG’s  growth  rates.  This  leads  me  to  believe  that  they  will  not  be  quite as negatively impacted by the downswing in energy prices as EOG resources. They are also able to produce some energy products for as little as $5.25 per BOE, which is significantly less than EOG Resources. For these reasons I chose to weight DVN at only 10%

Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) – 10%

“Pioneer  Natural Resources Company engages in the exploration and production of oil and gas in the United States. The company produces and sells oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and gas. It has operations primarily in the Permian Basin in West Texas, the Eagle Ford Shale play in South Texas, the Raton field in southeastern Colorado, and the West Panhandle field in the Texas Panhandle. As of December 31, 2014, the company had proved undeveloped reserves and proved developed reserves of approximately 89 MMBbls of oil, 42 MMBbls of NGLs, and 317 billion cubic feet of gas; and owned interests in 6 gas processing plants and 8 treating facilities. The company was founded in 1997 and is headquartered  in  Irving,  Texas.”  – Yahoo Finance

Pioneer Natural Resources is a Texas based upstream oil company that recently gained exposure in the midstream oil production market through a joint venture with Reliance Industries, Ltd. They have similar exposure as EOG in plays such as the Eagle Ford Shale and in South Texas. They have a slightly higher beta than EOG and market cap is half that of EOG. Their growth rates are slightly less dramatic than EOG Resources, which leads me to believe that they have slightly different risks and opportunities compared to EOG. This could be to their minority stakes in a couple downstream processing plants. Due to these factors I felt as if this company deserved a 10% weighting. In addition this company is held in the UOIG equity portfolios.

Net Asset Valuation

EOG Resources is an upstream oil producer which presents a unique opportunity when it comes to valuing this company. Capital expenditures are a huge part of EOG’s  revenue  and  therefore  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  is  not  appropriate  for this company. When valuing EOG I used a net asset valuation model or a NAV for short, this model is a great way to value the current and future cash flows of an upstream oil company that has so much capital expenditures. Unlike a DCF, a NAV does not assume that a company will grow into perpetuity. Instead a NAV models the cash flow of an oil company assuming it does not discover any new resources and uses up all of its current proven reserves. This eliminates the need to project exploration cost and future reserves discovered. After future cash flows

are calculated they are discounted back to present value using the weighted average cost of capital. This then gives you the total present value of a company similar to a DCF.

Production Model

Predicting the future production proved to be a challenge. In order to effectively do this I had to take a couple of factors into account. I broke energy produced into the type of energy it was measured in MMBoed. This meant that every barrel produced was accounted for and placed in either the oil, liquid natural gas or natural gas category. I then broke each of these categories into the region where it was produced.  Next,  I  looked  on  the  company’s  financial  statements  to  figure  out how much of each energy type was in unproduced and still in the ground, this was listed as net proven reserves. Management then gave guidance for the amount of energy that is expected to be produced in 2015, I took these numbers and figured  out  2015’s  total production. After this first year I assumed that they would no longer be exploring and therefore no longer be finding anymore reserves. Since oil, liquid natural gas and natural gas follow an exponential depletion curve known   as   the,   “Hubbert   Curve”   I   determined   that   EOG’s   production   outputs  would follow an exponential decay. EOG did not provide specific rates of decline but I did find an upstream producer that operates in the same geographic area that did give exact rates. This company, Ultra Petroleum provided decline rates for the next   40   years.   EOG’s   management   has   stated   that   by   using   their   current  technology they believe an average well will use up 30% of proven reserves in the first 5 years that it is online, and take around 40 years to run out of reserves. Since  Ultra  Petroleum’s  decline  rates  were  slightly  faster  than  this  I  flattened  their  decline  curve  and  tailored  it  to  fit  EOG’s  specific  circumstance  of  using  30%  of  the reserves in the first five years. At the end of 40 years my model show EOG running out of their reserves.

After calculating the total oil, liquid natural gas and gas produced for the next 40 years in MMBoe, I then determined the future revenue of their upstream segment. I did this by multiplying production by a combination of the current futures curve and an arbitrary futures curve. I used the current futures curve as a worst-case scenario  to  project  EOG’s  future  revenue  and  an  arbitrary  curve  as  a  better  case  scenario. I did this because the current futures curve projects oil to be trading at less than $70 a barrel in 2024, I believe this is low and I think it will be trading at around $105 a barrel in 2024. Since future energy prices are so crucial to this company’s  valuation  I  thought  it  was  appropriate  to  do  this.  I  did  weight  the  price  of the current futures oil curve at 60% and my arbitrary one at 40% since the current curve may paint a slightly more accurate picture for the next couple years. Also, since liquid natural gas does not trade as a commodity I determined that it would be correlated to natural gas.

Expenses and Cash Flows

After determining the total revenue I then had to calculate the total expense of developing and producing these current reserves. I only took into account production expense and development expense, not exploration expense because as stated earlier, a NAV assumes that no future reserves are discovered. I averaged  the  past  three  year’s  production  costs  to  determine  the average barrel of oil equivalent cost $6.06 to produce. I assumed this same cost would continue into the future. To develop the future reserves in the ground management stated that it would cost $2,040 million dollars. I spread this over the next ten years due to deferred production and historical guidance on time required to develop a producing well. After subtracting the total expenses from total revenue I ended up with pretax cash flows. I then assumed  EOG’s   current   tax   rate   of 33% would

continue for the next 40 years and arrived at an after-tax cash flow. This was then discounted using the weighted average cost of capital and the total present values of  cash  flow  was  added  up  to  get  the  upstream  segment’s  present  value.  

Midstream Enterprise Value

The cash flows projected in my net asset valuation only value the upstream portion of  EOG’s  business. In order to get a fair valuation of EOG Resources it is also necessary to value the midstream segment as well. Once the midstream portion of the business was valued this valuation was added to the upstream valuation to come up with a total firm value. To get this midstream valuation I found several midstream only independent oil companies with similar EV/Revenue multiples to EOG Resources. I used a companies that operate in the same region as EOG Resources using the same types of midstream technology and took the weighted average of their EV/Revenue multiples. I then multiplied EOG’s projected midstream revenue by the weighted average EV/Revenue multiple to come up with  an  Enterprise  Value  of  EOG’s  midstream  segment.

Beta

The Beta for EOG Resources was calculated using the three year daily, five year daily, five year weekly. These were regressed against the S and P 500 and used due to their low standard errors. In addition, the Vasicek and Hamada betas were calculated and used to take debt levels and tax levels of my comparable companies into account.

Recommendation

Based on an equal weighting of my comparable analysis and net asset valuation I believe that EOG Resources is a sell. In all industry metrics used, including EV/EBITDA, EV/EBITDAX and EV/Daily Production EOG is overvalued. In addition   EOG’s   stock   price   has depreciated significantly less than its peer as investors  are  paying  for  EOG’s  strong  balance  sheet. This will cause a reduction in   EOG’s   appreciation   when   energy   prices   rebound.   In   addition   EOG’s  management has repeatedly stated they are positing themselves to succeed when oil prices rebound, they have not laid out any guidelines for generating return in the   near   future   for   investors.   Also,   if   energy   prices   don’t   rebound   EOG   will  struggle to remain profitable as they run out of low cost reserves. My final price target is
