Aug 6 (Reuters) – EOG Resources Inc on Tuesday

reported a sharply higher second-quarter profit as the U.S. oil

and gas company produced more crude oil.

EOG had a profit of $659.7 million, or $2.42 per share,

compared with $395.8 million, or $1.47 per share, a year ago.

Total crude oil and condensate production rose 35 percent

from a year earlier, helped by output from wells in the Eagle

Ford Shale in south Texas and the Bakken formation in North

Dakota, the Houston company said.
