The revenues and profitability of an oil and gas company are highly dependent on commodity markets. Thus, the sharp fall in commodity prices over the last two years has resulted in a notable decline in the price realizations for the various commodities. As a result, E&P companies had to pull back their exploration and drilling plans during 2015, leading to a notable decline in their top line as well as profitability.

For this reason, EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), a US-based E&P company, has witnessed a notable decline in its revenues and earnings over the last few quarters. Its revenue dropped almost 50% in 2015 compared to the previous year, while its EBITDA plunged close to 60% during the same period.

Based on the current market trends, we expect crude oil prices to remain weak in the short term and gradually recover to $70 per barrel by 2018. In this case, EOG Resources’ production and price realization will remain low in 2016 and grow gradually over the following two years. These numbers are presented in the table below under the base case calculations. If, however, the commodity markets recover faster-than-expected and crude oil prices rebound to $100 per barrel by 2018EOG’s revenue in 2018 is likely to be 30% higher than our base case.
