EOG Resources in 2025: Is This Oil Giant Still a Powerhouse or Past Its Prime?
![]()
Crude reality check: EOG Resources faces its toughest market yet.
The fracking king's crossroads
Once the darling of shale plays, EOG now battles aging wells and Wall Street's shrinking patience. Their Permian Basin assets still pump—but at what cost?
Dividend darling or debt trap?
That juicy 4.8% yield looks tempting... until you see the $12B in long-term debt. 'Prudent financial management' sounds great in earnings calls—less so when Brent crude dips below $70.
The energy transition tightrope
Carbon capture investments get CEO speeches—but 92% of capex still funds good ol' fossil fuels. Because nothing says 'energy transition' like doubling down on what worked in 2010.
Final thought: In an industry where dinosaurs literally fuel the business, EOG's playing both meteor survivor and reluctant evolutionist. Will adaptability win—or is this another 'too big to pivot' story waiting for its crash?
