In its second quarter report, EOG Resources said the Bakken and Eagle Ford Shale plays were major contributors to EOG's overall production growth.
EOG's U.S. crude oil production grew 33% year-over-year and associated natural gas liquids NGLs grew 22% year-over-year.

The company said most of its activity was focused on its core acreage in Mountrail County during the quarter. According to company officials, well productivity improved due to continued refinements in completion designs.
In EOG's first-quarter report, the company indicated its activity in the Bakken would nearly double. So far, the company is on track to hit their target goal.
