This Is What Makes EOG Resources Inc. Different From Other Oil Companies

EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) is a shale drilling machine. That was evident in the recently completed third quarter when the company beat back Hurricane Harvey to post solid results. As a result, it's on pace to boost production 20% this year while living within cash flow, which is a remarkable feat considering that many oil companies can barely maintain their production at current oil prices.

The reason EOG Resources is thriving in the current market conditions is that the company does things differently. That was evident in the comments of CEO Bill Thomas on the accompanying conference call. Here's what he believes sets the company apart from rival drillers.
