Feb 27 (Reuters) - EOG Resources ( EOG ) beat

fourth-quarter profit estimates on Thursday, as higher

production at the oil and gas firm helped offset lower oil

prices.

Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed

that oil production in the country rose to a record in October,

as drilling and well efficiencies helped companies put out more

oil than before.

Quarterly crude equivalent volumes were up 6.7% at nearly

1.1 million barrels of oil per day (boepd) from the previous

year.

It expects to pump between 1.1 million boepd and 1.14

million boepd in 2025.

The company reported an adjusted profit of $2.74 per share

for the quarter ended December 31, compared with the analysts'

average estimate of $2.57 per share, according to data compiled

by LSEG.
