Sixteen (16) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA; For Investors Only; EOG To Declare A Non-Cash Loss In 1Q14 Due To Derivatives; Whiting With Three Huge Wells

To what degree this affects over all earnings, I do not know. From a press release:
  • EOG Resources expects a ~$155M non-cash losss during Q1 on the mark-to-market of its crude oil and natural gas derivatives contracts, according to an SEC filing.
  • EOG says the net cash paid for settlements of the derivative contracts in Q1 was $34M, while actual realizations for crude oil and natural gas differ from average Nymex prices due to delivery location and quality adjustments.
  • EOG typically reports its adjusted profit figures that exclude impacts from mark-to-market commodity derivative contracts.
I thought that was interesting simply because I had just mentioned that even with high oil prices it was possible for companies to report a loss due to derivatives.

For me, this is a trivial item that hardly merits posting except to make a point.

On a day when the overall market surged 160 points, EOG finished flat.

Will The Rally Continue?

Dow futures are down 50 points; oil is flat.
