third quarter 2026 outlook

  • NoteCurrent tax expense: $835 million - $935 million

What drove it

  • EOG cited higher crude oil prices realized in the third quarter 2026 and anticipated for the full year as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, U.S. NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil averaged $85.68 per barrel.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, NYMEX natural gas at Henry Hub averaged $2.95 per million British thermal units.
  • EOG's crude oil and natural gas realizations differ from NYMEX prices because of delivery location, quality and appropriate revenue adjustments.
  • NGL realizations are influenced by extracted components and respective market pricing.

Concerns

  • Current tax expense guidance was increased from $545 million - $645 million to $835 million - $935 million.
  • EOG did not update or confirm any other third-quarter 2026 or full-year 2026 guidance ranges issued on August 4, 2026.
  • No cash was received from the Brent Linked Gas Sales Contract during the third quarter of 2026; deliveries are expected to commence in January 2027.

What to watch

  • Third-quarter 2026 current tax expense relative to the updated $835 million - $935 million guidance range.
  • Crude oil prices and EOG's actual crude oil realizations, which EOG said differ from NYMEX prices due to basis, quality and revenue adjustments.
  • The commencement of deliveries under the Brent Linked Gas Sales Contract in January 2027.
  • Whether EOG updates or confirms its other third-quarter 2026 and full-year 2026 guidance ranges with its earnings results.

Balance sheet and cash flow

  • EOG received net cash of $40 million from settlements of Financial Commodity Derivative Contracts during the third quarter of 2026.
  • There was no cash received related to the Brent Linked Gas Sales Contract as deliveries are expected to commence in January 2027.

Analysis

This filing is a targeted guidance update rather than a full earnings release. EOG raised its third-quarter 2026 current tax expense expectation to $835 million - $935 million from the $545 million - $645 million range issued with second-quarter results on August 4, 2026. The company attributes the increase to higher crude oil prices realized during the third quarter and anticipated for the full year, citing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East versus its assumptions when it issued prior guidance.

The commodity-price information supports the stated driver but does not provide EOG's realized commodity prices. U.S. NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil averaged $85.68 per barrel for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, while NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas averaged $2.95 per million British thermal units. EOG explicitly notes that its actual crude oil and natural gas realizations differ from these benchmarks because of delivery location, quality and revenue adjustments. NGL realizations also depend on the product mix extracted and individual component pricing.

Price-risk-management activity generated net cash of $40 million from settlements of Financial Commodity Derivative Contracts during the third quarter. The filing states that no cash was received from the Brent Linked Gas Sales Contract because deliveries are expected to commence in January 2027. The document does not disclose derivative gains or losses, the mark-to-market value of contracts, or the actual effect of these arrangements on revenue, earnings or cash flow.

EOG did not update or confirm any other third-quarter 2026 or full-year 2026 guidance ranges included in its August 4, 2026 outlook. As a result, the release gives no updated view on production, capital expenditures, operating costs, revenue, earnings, cash flow, capital returns or balance-sheet items. The central reported change is the substantially higher expected current tax expense, while the balance of the operating and financial outlook remains unaddressed in this filing.

Questions about EOG earnings dates

When is EOG Resources's next earnings date?
EOG is scheduled to report on Nov 5, 2026. The date is confirmed by the company, and AlphAI publishes its own read of the results within minutes of the filing reaching EDGAR.
Where does the date come from, and why is there no estimate?
A confirmed date comes from the company's own announcement. Many sites fill the gap by adding about 91 days to the last report, but that arithmetic is a guess, and a wrong date costs a reader more than a missing one, so AlphAI shows nothing until the company confirms. Every quarter already on this page is read straight from the SEC filing: an 8-K item 2.02 for US filers, a 6-K earnings release for foreign private issuers.
