EOG Resources announced results from the first quarter of 2013 and impressive well results in the Bakken and Three Forks were included.

The first test of the second bench of the Three Forks yielded promising results in the company's Antelope Extension acreage in McKenzie County, ND. The Riverview 03-3130H was completed to sales at 3,150 b/d of oil. Additional tests are planned in the same area.

In addition, modifications in completion techniques and production enhancements combined to make EOG's rate-of-return results from the Bakken the highest in company history.

The Bakken helped fuel company-wide crude oil production growth of 33% year-over-year and recent completions are yielding projected returns as good as any play in the company's portfolio.
