NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


General. The condensed consolidated financial statements of EOG Resources, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, EOG), included herein have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included either on the face of the financial statements or in these notes are sufficient to make the interim information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed on February 26, 2019 (EOG's 2018 Annual Report).


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Effective January 1, 2019, EOG adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs require that lessees recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and related lease liability, representing the obligation to make lease payments for certain lease transactions, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclose additional leasing information.


EOG elected to adopt ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the effective date. Financial results reported in periods prior to January 1, 2019, are unchanged. Additionally, EOG elected the package of practical expedients within ASU 2016-02 that allows an entity to not reassess prior to the effective date (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases, but did not elect the practical expedient of hindsight when determining the lease term of existing contracts at the effective date. EOG also elected the practical expedient under ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842) - Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842," and did not evaluate existing or expired land easements not previously accounted for as leases prior to the January 1, 2019 effective date. There was no impact to retained earnings upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs. See Note 14.


2.Stock-Based Compensation


As more fully discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2018 Annual Report, EOG maintains various stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based upon the job function of the employees receiving the grants as follows (in millions):

The Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (2008 Plan) provides for grants of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance units and other stock-based awards.

EOG RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Unaudited)





At March 31,September 30, 2019, approximately 12.97.7 million common shares remained available for grant under the 2008 Plan. EOG's policy is to issue shares related to 2008 Plan grants from previously authorized unissued shares or treasury shares to the extent treasury shares are available.


Stock Options and Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of stock option grants and SAR grants is estimated using the Hull-White II binomial option pricing model. The fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $13.9$20.4 million and $12.0$21.7 million during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $47.8 million and $45.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value stock option, SAR and ESPP grants during the three-monthnine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
 Stock Options/SARs ESPP

Expected volatility is based on an equal weighting of historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options in EOG's common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based upon United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. The expected life is based upon historical experience and contractual terms of stock option, SAR and ESPP grants.

Performance Units. EOG grants performance units annually to its executive officers without cost to them. As more fully discussed in the grant agreements, the performance metric applicable to the performance units is EOG's total shareholder return over a three-year performance period relative to the total shareholder return of a designated group of peer companies (Performance Period). Upon the application of the performance multiple at the completion of the Performance Period, a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 200% of the performance units granted could be outstanding. The fair value of the performance units is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Stock-based compensation expense related to the performance unit grants totaled $1.9$9.6 million and $1.1$9.8 million for the three-month periodsthree months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $13.4 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

8.Commitments and Contingencies


There are currently various suits and claims pending against EOG that have arisen in the ordinary course of EOG's business, including contract disputes, personal injury and property damage claims and title disputes. While the ultimate outcome and impact on EOG cannot be predicted, management believes that the resolution of these suits and claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on EOG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. EOG records reserves for contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.


9.Pension and Postretirement Benefits


EOG has defined contribution pension plans in place for most of its employees in the United States, and a defined benefit pension plan covering certain of its employees in Trinidad. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, EOG's total costs recognized for these pension plans were $12.0$34 million and $9.9$30 million, respectively. EOG also has postretirement medical and dental plans in place for eligible employees and their dependents in the United States and Trinidad, the costs of which are not material.


10.Long-Term Debt and Common Stock


Long-Term Debt. EOG had no0 outstanding commercial paper borrowings or uncommitted credit facility borrowings at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and did not utilize any such borrowings during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, EOG utilized commercial paper borrowings, bearing market interest rates, for various corporate financing purposes. The average borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program were $18$11 million during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. The weighted average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings was 1.76% during the threenine months ended March 31, 2018.September 30, 2018, was 1.97%.


On June 3, 2019, EOG currently hasrepaid upon maturity the $900 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019.

On June 27, 2019, EOG entered into a new $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (Agreement)(New Facility) with domestic and foreign lenders.lenders (Banks). The New Facility replaced EOG’s $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2015, with domestic and foreign lenders (2015 Facility), which had a scheduled maturity date of July 21, 2020 and which was terminated by EOG (without penalty), effective as of June 27, 2019, in connection with the completion of the New Facility.

The New Facility has a scheduled maturity date of July 21, 2020,June 27, 2024, and includes an option for EOG to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods subject to certain terms and conditions. The New Facility (i) commits the Banks to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion at any one time outstanding, with an option for EOG to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $3.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions, and (ii) includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility. Advances under the AgreementNew Facility will accrue interest based, at EOG'sEOG’s option, on either the London InterBank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate)Rate) or the base rateBase Rate (as defined in the Agreement)New Facility) plus an applicable margin. The Agreementapplicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees will be based on EOG’s credit rating for its senior unsecured long-term debt at the applicable time.

Consistent with the terms of the 2015 Facility, the New Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that we believe are customary for investment-grade,investment grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio of total debt-to-total capitalization (as such terms are defined in the New Facility) of no greater than 65%. At March 31,September 30, 2019, EOG was in compliance with this financial covenant. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there

There were no0 borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Agreement.2015 Facility as of (i) December 31, 2018 or (ii) the June 27, 2019 effective date of the closing of the New Facility and termination of the 2015 Facility. Further, at September 30, 2019, there were 0 borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the New Facility. The Eurodollar rateRate and Base Rate (inclusive of the applicable base rate,margin), had there been any amounts borrowed under the AgreementNew Facility at March 31,September 30, 2019, would have been 3.50%2.92% and 5.50%5.0%, respectively.

The estimated fair value of commodity derivative contracts was based upon forward commodity price curves based on quoted market prices. Commodity derivative contracts were valued by utilizing an independent third-party derivative valuation provider who uses various types of valuation models, as applicable.


The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of asset retirement obligations include plugging costs and reserve lives. A reconciliation of EOG's asset retirement obligations is presented in Note 6.


Proved oil and gas properties and other assets with a carrying amount of $208$472 million were written down to their fair value of $183$340 million, resulting in pretax impairment charges of $25$132 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. Included in the $25$132 million pretax impairment charges are $24$89 million for a commodity price-related write-down of other assets.


EOG utilized average prices per acre from comparable market transactions and estimated discounted cash flows as the basis for determining the fair value of unproved and proved properties, respectively, received in non-cash property exchanges. See Note 4.


Fair Value of Debt.At March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, EOG had outstanding $5,140 million and $6,040 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which had estimated fair values at such dates of approximately $6,168$5,453 million and $6,027 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was based upon quoted market prices and, where such prices were not available, other observable (Level 2) inputs regarding interest rates available to EOG at the end of each respective period.

12.Risk Management Activities


Commodity Price Risk. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2018 Annual Report, EOG engages in price risk management activities from time to time. These activities are intended to manage EOG's exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. EOG has not designated any of its financial commodity derivative contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.


Commodity Derivative Contracts. Prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) West Texas Intermediate prices due to adjustments for delivery location (basis) and other factors. EOG has entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma (Midland Differential). Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's Midland Differential basis swap contracts for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. The weighted average price differential expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl) represents the amount of reduction to Cushing, Oklahoma, prices for the notional volumes expressed in barrels per day (Bbld) covered by the basis swap contracts.

Credit Risk. Notional contract amounts are used to express the magnitude of a financial derivative. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk, in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, are equal to the fair value of such contracts (see Note 11). EOG evaluates its exposure to significant counterparties on an ongoing basis, including thosethat arising from physical and financial transactions. In some instances, EOG renegotiates payment terms and/or requires collateral, parent guarantees or letters of credit to minimize credit risk.


All of EOG's derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (ISDAs) with counterparties. The ISDAs may contain provisions that require EOG, if it is the party in a net liability position, to post collateral when the amount of the net liability exceeds the threshold level specified for EOG's then-current credit ratings. In addition, the ISDAs may also provide that as a result of certain circumstances, including certain events that cause EOG's credit ratings to become materially weaker than its then-current ratings, the counterparty may require all outstanding derivatives under the ISDAs to be settled immediately. See Note 11 for the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments that were in a net asset position at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. EOG had no0 collateral posted andor held no collateral at March 31,September 30, 2019, andor at December 31, 2018.

13.  Acquisitions and Divestitures


During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, EOG paid cash for property acquisitions of $303$311 million in the United States. Additionally, during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, EOG recognized a net lossgains on asset dispositions of $(4)$4 million primarily due to the sale of proved property in Texas, and received proceeds of approximately $15$35 million. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, EOG recognized a net lossgains on asset dispositions of $(15)$95 million, primarily due to the dispositionnon-cash exchanges of inventoryunproved leasehold in Texas, New Mexico and other assets,Wyoming and received proceeds of approximately $3$12 million.


14. Leases


In the ordinary course of business, EOG enters into contracts for drilling, fracturing, compression, real estate and other services which contain equipment and other assets and that meet the definition of a lease under ASU 2016-02. The lease term for these contracts, which includes any renewals at EOG's option that are reasonably certain to be exercised, rangeranges from one month to 30 years. ROU assets and related liabilities are recognized on commencement date on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on future lease payments, discounted based on the rate implicit in the contract, if readily determinable, or EOG's incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term of the contract. EOG estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the approximate rate required to borrow on a collateralized basis. Contracts with lease terms of less than 12 months are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but instead are disclosed as short-term lease cost.


EOG has elected not to separate non-lease components from all leases, excluding those for fracturing services, real estate and salt water disposal, as lease payments forunder these contracts contain significant non-lease components, such as labor and operating costs.


Lease costs are classified by the function of the ROU asset. The lease costs related to exploration and development activities are initially included in the Oil and Gas Properties line on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently accounted for in accordance with the Extractive Industries - Oil and Gas Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. Variable lease cost represents costs incurred above the contractual minimum payments for operating and finance leases. The components of lease cost for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, were as follows (in millions):

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EOG RESOURCES, INC.


Overview
EOG Resources, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, EOG), is one of the largest independent (non-integrated) crude oil and natural gas companies in the United States with proved reserves in the United States, Trinidad and China. EOG operates under a consistent business and operational strategy that focuses predominantly on maximizing the rate of return on investment of capital by controlling operating and capital costs and maximizing reserve recoveries. Each prospective drilling location is evaluated by its estimated rate of return. This strategy is intended to enhance the generation of cash flow and earnings from each unit of production on a cost-effective basis, allowing EOG to deliver long-term production growth while maintaining a strong balance sheet. EOG implements its strategy primarily by emphasizing the drilling of internally generated prospects in order to find and develop low-cost reserves. Maintaining the lowest possible operating cost structure that is consistent with efficient, safe and environmentally responsible operations is also an important goal in the implementation of EOG's strategy.


United States. EOG's efforts to identify plays with large reserve potential have proven to be successful. EOG continues to drill numerous wells in large acreage plays, which in the aggregate have contributed substantially to, and are expected to continue to contribute substantially to, EOG's crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas production. EOG has placed an emphasis on applying its horizontal drilling and completion expertise to unconventional crude oil and liquids-rich reservoirs.


Crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas prices have been volatile, and this volatility is expected to continue. As a result of the many uncertainties associated with the world political environment, worldwide supplies of, and demand for, crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas and the availability of other energy supplies, EOG is unable to predict what changes may occur in crude oil and condensate, NGLs, and natural gas prices in the future. The market prices of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas in 2019 will continue to impact the amount of cash generated from EOG's operating activities, which will in turn impact EOG's financial position and results of operations. For the first threenine months of 2019, the average U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil and natural gas prices were $54.90$57.06 per barrel and $3.13$2.66 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, representing a decreasedecreases of 13%15% and an increase of 7%, respectively, from the average NYMEX prices for the same period in 2018. Market prices for NGLs are influenced by crude oil prices and the composition of NGL production, including ethane, propane and butane, among others. Based on its 2019 drilling and completion plans, EOG expects both its 2019 total production and total crude oil production to increase as compared to 2018.


During the first threenine months of 2019, EOG continued to focus on increasing drilling, completion and operating efficiencies gained in prior years. In addition, EOG continued to evaluate certain potential crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas exploration and development prospects and to look for opportunities to add drilling inventory through leasehold acquisitions, farm-ins, exchanges or tactical acquisitions. On a volumetric basis, as calculated using the ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or NGLs to 6.0 thousand cubic feet of natural gas, crude oil and condensate and NGL production accounted for approximately 77% and 76% of EOG's United States production during both the first threenine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the first threenine months of 2019, EOG's drilling and completion activities occurred primarily in the Eagle Ford play, Delaware Basin play and Rocky Mountain area. EOG's major producing areas in the United States are in New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas and Wyoming.


Trinidad. In Trinidad, EOG continues to deliver natural gas under existing supply contracts. Several fields in the South East Coast Consortium (SECC) Block, Modified U(a) Block, Block 4(a), Modified U(b) Block, the Banyan Field and the Sercan Area have been developed and are producing natural gas which is sold to the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited and its subsidiary, and crude oil and condensate which is sold to Heritage Petroleum Company Limited. In the third quarter of 2019, EOG drilled two net wells, one of which was an unsuccessful exploratory well. During the remainder of 2019, EOG plans to drill threetwo additional net wells.


Other International. In the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan Province, China, EOG drilled two wells in the first quarternine months of 2019 to complete the drilling program started in 2018. Additionally, EOG plans to complete onecompleted two drilled uncompleted wellwells from the 2018 drilling program in 2019. All natural gas produced from the Baijaochang Field is sold under a long-term contract to PetroChina.





EOG continues to evaluate other select crude oil and natural gas opportunities outside the United States, primarily by pursuing exploitation opportunities in countries where indigenous crude oil and natural gas reserves have been identified.





Capital Structure. One of management's key strategies is to maintain a strong balance sheet with a consistently below average debt-to-total capitalization ratio as compared to those in EOG's peer group. EOG's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 23%20% at March 31,September 30, 2019 and 24% at December 31, 2018. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.


On June 3, 2019, EOG repaid upon maturity the $900 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019.

On June 27, 2019, EOG entered into a new $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (New Facility) with domestic and foreign lenders (Banks). The New Facility replaced EOG's $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2015, which had a scheduled maturity date of July 21, 2020. The New Facility has a scheduled maturity date of June 27, 2024, and includes an option for EOG to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods subject to certain terms and conditions. The New Facility (i) commits the Banks to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion at any one time outstanding, with an option for EOG to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $3.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions, and (ii) includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility.

Effective January 1, 2019, EOG adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments for certain lease transactions and the disclosure of additional leasing information. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs resulted in a significant increase to assets and liabilities related to operating leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31,September 30, 2019. Financial results prior to January 1, 2019, are unchanged. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 14 "Leases" to EOG's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Total anticipated 2019 capital expenditures are estimated to range from approximately $6.1$6.2 billion to $6.5$6.4 billion, excluding acquisitions and non-cash transactions. The majority of 2019 expenditures will be focused on United States crude oil drilling activities. EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives, including borrowings under its commercial paper program, and other uncommitted credit facilities, bank borrowings, borrowings under its $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility described above, joint development agreements and similar agreements and equity and debt offerings.


Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history. When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer incremental exploration and/or production opportunities.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased $99 decreased $236 million, or 5%9%, to $2,200$2,419 million from $2,101$2,655 million for the same period of 2018. The increasedecrease was due to a lower composite average price ($550 million), partially offset by an increase of 7349 MBbld, or 20%12%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($420 million), partially offset by a lower composite average price ($321314 million). Increased production was primarily due to increases in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the firstthird quarter of 2019 decreased 13%19% to $56.09$56.66 per barrel compared to $64.27$69.55 per barrel for the same period of 2018.


NGL revenues for the firstthird quarter of 2019 decreased $2$189 million, or 1%53%, to $219$165 million from $221$354 million for the same period of 2018 due to a lower composite average price ($45226 million), partially offset by an increase of 1914 MBbld, or 19%11%, in production ($4337 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin. EOG's composite NGL price for the firstthird quarter of 2019 decreased 17%58% to $20.28$12.67 per barrel compared to $24.46$30.09 per barrel for the same period of 2018.


Wellhead natural gas revenues for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased $35 decreased $42 million, or 12%14%, to $335$270 million from $300$312 million for the same period of 2018. The increasedecrease was due to a lower average composite price ($76 million), partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries ($33 million) and a higher composite wellhead natural gas price ($234 million). Natural gas deliveries for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased 132137 MMcfd, or 11%, compared to the same period of 2018 due primarily to higher deliveries in the United States primarily resulting from increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and higher natural gas volumes from the Marcellus Shale,in South Texas, partially offset by lower natural gas deliveriesvolumes in Trinidad.the Marcellus Shale. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased 1% decreased 22% to $2.85$2.13 per Mcf compared to $2.83$2.74 per Mcf for the same period of 2018.


During the firstthird quarter of 2019, EOG recognized net lossesgains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $21$86 million compared to $60net losses of $52 million for the same period of 2018. During the firstthird quarter of 2019, net cash received from settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $21$108 million compared to net cash paid of $22$92 million for the same period of 2018.


Gathering, processing and marketing revenues are revenues generated from sales of third-party crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as gathering fees associated with gathering third-party natural gas and revenues from sales of EOG-owned sand. Purchases and sales of third-party crude oil and natural gas may be utilized in order to balance firm transportation capacity with production in certain areas and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities. EOG sells sand in order to balance the timing of firm purchase agreements with completion operations and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities. Marketing costs represent the costs to purchase third-party crude oil, natural gas and sand and the associated transportation costs, as well as costs associated with EOG-owned sand sold to third parties.


Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased $20 decreased $43 million as compared to the same period of 2018 primarily due to higherlower margins on crude oil marketing activities, partially offset by higher margins on natural gas marketing activities.


Operating and Other Expenses.For the firstthird quarter of 2019, operating expenses of $3,182$3,475 million were $375$200 million higher than the $2,807$3,275 million incurred during the firstthird quarter of 2018.  The following table presents the costs per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) for the three-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, DD&A, , G&A and net interest expense for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018, are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.


Lease and well expenses include expenses for EOG-operated properties, as well as expenses billed to EOG from other operators where EOG is not the operator of a property. Lease and well expenses can be divided into the following categories: costs to operate and maintain crude oil and natural gas wells, the cost of workovers and lease and well administrative expenses. Operating and maintenance costs include, among other things, pumping services, salt water disposal, equipment repair and maintenance, compression expense, lease upkeep and fuel and power. Workovers are operations to restore or maintain production from existing wells.


Each of these categories of costs individually fluctuates from time to time as EOG attempts to maintain and increase production while maintaining efficient, safe and environmentally responsible operations. EOG continues to increase its operating activities by drilling new wells in existing and new areas. Operating and maintenance costs within these existing and new areas, as well as the costs of services charged to EOG by vendors, fluctuate over time.


Lease and well expenses of $336$349 million for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased $36$27 million from $300$322 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs ($24 million), workover expenditures ($1333 million) and lease and well administrative expenses ($49 million), all in the United States, partially offset by decreased operating and maintenance costsworkover expenditures in the United KingdomStates ($59 million) due to the sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.. Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.


DD&A of the cost of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production method. EOG's DD&A rate and expense are the composite of numerous individual DD&A group calculations. There are several factors that can impact EOG's composite DD&A rate and expense, such as field production profiles, drilling or acquisition of new wells, disposition of existing wells and reserve revisions (upward or downward) primarily related to well performance, economic factors and impairments. Changes to these factors may cause EOG's composite DD&A rate and expense to fluctuate from period to period. DD&A of the cost of other property, plant and equipment is generally calculated using the straight-line depreciation method over the useful lives of the assets.


DD&A expenses for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased $131$36 million to $880$954 million from $749$918 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the firstthird quarter of 2019 were $132$58 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects increased production in the United States.States ($109 million), partially offset by lower unit rates in the United States ($42 million). Unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions and reserves added at lower costs as a result of increased efficiencies.


G&A expenses of $107$136 million for the firstthird quarter of 2019 increased $12$25 million from $95$111 million infor the same prior year period primarily due to increased employee-related expensesand information systems costs resulting from expanded operations.


Interest expense, net of $55$40 million for the firstthird quarter of 2019 decreased $7$24 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to repayment in June 2019 of the $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019 ($13 million), repayment in October 2018 of the $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018.2018 ($6 million) and higher capitalized interest ($4 million).


Gathering and processing costs represent operating and maintenance expenses and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's gathering and processing assets as well as natural gas processing fees and certain NGL fractionation fees from third parties. EOG pays third parties to process the majority of its natural gas production to extract NGLs.


Gathering and processing costs increased $10$14 million to $111$128 million for the firstthird quarter of 2019 compared to $101$114 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating costs and fees in the Permian Basin ($1713 million) and the Rocky Mountain areaEagle Ford ($35 million), partially offset by decreased operating costs in the Eagle Ford ($7 million) and in the United Kingdom ($5 million)7 million ) due to the sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.





Impairments include amortization of unproved oil and gas property costs as well as impairments of proved oil and gas properties; other property, plant and equipment; and other assets. Unproved properties with acquisition costs that are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be nonproductive is amortized over the remaining lease term. Unproved properties with individually significant acquisition costs are reviewed individually for impairment. When circumstances indicate that a proved property may be impaired, EOG compares expected undiscounted future cash flows at a DD&A group level to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally calculated by using the Income Approach described in the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification. In certain instances, EOG utilizes accepted offers from third-party purchasers as the basis for determining fair value.





Impairments of $72$105 million for the firstthird quarter of 2019 were $7$61 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of proved properties in the United States ($40 million), and increased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($21 million), which waswere caused by an increase in EOG's estimates of undeveloped properties not expected to be developed before lease expiration. EOG recorded impairments of proved properties, other property, plant and equipment and other assets of $25$41 million and $22$1 million for the first quarterthird quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.


Taxes other than income include severance/production taxes, ad valorem/property taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes and other miscellaneous taxes. Severance/production taxes are generally determined based on wellhead revenues, and ad valorem/property taxes are generally determined based on the valuation of the underlying assets.


Taxes other than income for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $6 million to $203 million (7.1% of wellhead revenues) from $209 million (6.3% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The decrease in taxes other than income was primarily due to decreased severance/production taxes in the United States ($13 million) and an increase in credits available to EOG in the third quarter of 2019 for state incentive severance tax rate reductions ($3 million), partially offset by higher payroll taxes in Trinidad ($8 million) and an increase in ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($4 million).

Other income, net of $9 million for the third quarter of 2019 increased $6 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a decrease in deferred compensation expense.

EOG recognized an income tax provision of $182 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to an income tax provision of $255 million for the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to decreased pretax income, partially offset by the absence of tax benefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments. The net effective tax rate for 2019 increased to 23% from 18% in 2018. The higher effective tax rate is mostly due to the absence of tax benefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first nine months of 2019 increased $14 million to $7,148 million from $7,134 million for the same period of 2018 due to an increase of 64 MBbld, or 17%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($1,185 million), partially offset by a lower composite average price ($1,171 million). Increased production was primarily due to increases in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first nine months of 2019 decreased 14% to $57.93 per barrel compared to $67.38 per barrel for the same period of 2018.

NGL revenues for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $292 million, or 34%, to $570 million from $862 million for the same period of 2018 due to a lower composite average price ($420 million), partially offset by an increase of 17 MBbld, or 15%, in NGL deliveries ($128 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin. EOG's composite NGL price for the first nine months of 2019 decreased 42% to $15.96 per barrel compared to $27.71 per barrel for the same period of 2018.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $38 million, or 4%, to $874 million from $912 million for the same period of 2018. The decrease was due to a lower composite wellhead natural gas price ($140 million), partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries ($102 million). Natural gas deliveries for the first nine months of 2019 increased 132 MMcfd, or 11%, compared to the same period of 2018 due primarily to higher deliveries in the United States resulting from increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and higher natural gas volumes from South Texas. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the first nine months of 2019 decreased 14% to $2.38 per Mcf compared to $2.75 per Mcf for the same period of 2018.

During the first nine months of 2019, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $243 million compared to net losses of $298 million for the same period of 2018. During the first nine months of 2019, net cash received from settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $140 million compared to net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts of $180 million for the same period of 2018.

Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $38 million as compared to the same period of 2018 primarily due to lower margins on crude oil marketing activities, partially offset by higher margins on natural gas marketing activities.

Operating and Other Expenses. For the first nine months of 2019, operating expenses of $10,224 million were $869 million higher than the $9,355 million incurred during the same period of 2018. The following table presents the costs per Boe for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, DD&A, G&A and net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018 are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.




Lease and well expenses of $1,032 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $96 million from $936 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher operating and maintenance costs ($81 million), higher lease and well administrative costs ($21 million) and higher workover expenditures ($8 million), all in the United States, partially offset by lower operating and maintenance costs in the United Kingdom ($11 million) due to the sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018. Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.

DD&A expenses for the first nine months of 2019 increased $275 million to $2,790 million from $2,515 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first nine months of 2019 were $299 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects increased production in the United States ($384 million), partially offset by lower unit rates in the United States ($56 million). Unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions and reserves added at lower costs as a result of increased efficiencies.

G&A expenses of $364 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $54 million from $310 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased employee-related and information systems expenses resulting from expanded operations.

Interest expense, net of $144 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $45 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to repayment in October 2018 of the $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 ($18 million), repayment in June 2019 of the $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019 ($17 million) and higher capitalized interest ($10 million).

Gathering and processing costs of $351 million for the first nine months of 2019 increased $27 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating costs and fees in the Permian Basin ($41 million) and the Rocky Mountain area ($7 million), partially offset by decreased operating costs in the United Kingdom ($25 million) due to the sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Exploration costs of $103 million for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $12 million from $115 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased geological and geophysical costs in Trinidad.

Impairments of $290 million for the first nine months of 2019 were $129 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of proved properties and other assets in the United States ($98 million) and increased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($31 million), which was caused by an increase in EOG's estimate of undeveloped properties not expected to be developed before lease expiration. EOG recorded impairments of proved properties, other property, plant and equipment and other assets of $132 million and $34 million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Taxes other than income for the first quarternine months of 2019 increased $14$18 million to $193$600 million (7.0% of wellhead revenues) compared to $179from $582 million (6.8%(6.5% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($2141 million) primarily as a result of increased valuation of the underlying assets and higher payroll taxes in Trinidad ($8 million), partially offset by decreases in severance/production taxes ($5 million), both in the United States.States ($14 million) and Trinidad ($4 million) and an increase in credits available to EOG in the first nine months of 2019 for state incentive severance tax rate reductions ($12 million).


Other income, net of $6$23 million for the first quarternine months of 2019 increased $5$28 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to an increase in interest income.income ($14 million), a decrease in deferred compensation expense ($7 million) and higher foreign currency exchange gains ($6 million).


EOG recognized an income tax provision of $192$616 million for the first quarternine months of 2019 compared to an income tax provision of $175$626 million infor the first quarter ofsame period in 2018, primarily due to decreased pretax income, partially offset by the absence of tax benefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments and a reduction in tax benefits from stock-based compensation.adjustments. The net effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 increased to 23% from 21%20% in 2018. The higher effective tax rate is mostly due to the absence of tax benefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments.




Capital Resources and Liquidity


Cash Flow.The primary sources of cash for EOG during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, were funds generated from operations. The primary uses of cash were funds used in operations; exploration and development expenditures; long-term debt repayments; dividend payments to stockholders; and other property, plant and equipment expenditures. During the first threenine months of 2019, EOG's cash balance decreased $420increased $27 million to $1,136$1,583 million from $1,556 million at December 31, 2018.


Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,608$6,356 million for the first threenine months of 2019 increased $56$673 million compared to the same period of 2018 primarily due to an increasea favorable change in wellhead revenuesworking capital ($132474 million);, a decrease in net cash paid for income taxes ($396 million) and an increase in cash received for settlements of commodity derivative contracts ($43 million); an increase in gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs ($20 million); and a decrease in net cash paid for income taxes ($13320 million), partially offset by an unfavorable changea decrease in working capitalwellhead revenues ($101315 million) and increasesan increase in cash operating expenses ($67167 million).


Net cash used in investing activities of $1,891$4,980 million for the first threenine months of 2019 increased by $435$102 million compared to the same period of 2018 due to an increase in additions to oil and gas properties ($574295 million), partially offset by a favorable change in components of working capital associated with investing activities ($112134 million);, an increase in proceeds from the sale of assets ($24 million), a decrease in other investing activities ($20 million) and a decrease in additions to other property, plant and equipment ($15 million); and an increase in proceeds from the sale of assets ($12 million).


Net cash used in financing activities of $137$1,348 million for the first threenine months of 2019 included repayments of long-term debt ($900 million) and cash dividend payments ($128421 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $363 million for the first nine months of 2018 included cash dividend payments ($311 million) and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($6 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $114 million for the first three months of 2018 included cash dividend payments ($97 million) and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($1759 million).





Total Expenditures. For the year 2019, EOG's budget for exploration and development and other property, plant and equipment expenditures is approximately $6.1$6.2 billion to $6.5$6.4 billion, excluding acquisitions and non-cash transactions. The table below sets out components of total expenditures for the three-monthnine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in millions):

Exploration and development expenditures of $2,037$5,056 million for the first threenine months of 2019 were $626$147 million higher than the same period of 2018 primarily due to increased property acquisitions ($253 million) and increased exploration and drilling expenditures in the United StatesTrinidad ($26528 million), partially offset by decreased leasehold acquisitions ($130 million) and Chinadecreased facilities expenditures ($8 million), increased property acquisitions ($321 million) and increased leasehold acquisitions ($3019 million). Exploration and development expenditures for the first threenine months of 2019 of $2,037$5,056 million consisted of $1,555$4,341 million in development drilling and facilities, $321$355 million in exploration, $332 million in property acquisitions $154 million in exploration and $7$28 million in capitalized interest. Exploration and development expenditures for the first threenine months of 2018 of $1,411$4,909 million consisted of $1,291$4,353 million in development drilling and facilities, $115$459 million in exploration, $79 million in property acquisitions and $5$18 million in capitalized interest.


The level of exploration and development expenditures, including acquisitions, will vary in future periods depending on energy market conditions and other economic factors. EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives and the ability to adjust its exploration and development expenditure budget as circumstances warrant. While EOG has certain continuing commitments associated with expenditure plans related to its operations, such commitments are not expected to be material when considered in relation to the total financial capacity of EOG.


Commodity Derivative Transactions. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed on February 26, 2019, EOG engages in price risk management activities from time to time. These activities are intended to manage EOG's exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. EOG has not designated any of its financial commodity derivative contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. Under this accounting method, changes in the fair value of outstanding financial instruments are recognized as gains or losses in the period of change and are recorded as LossesGains (Losses) on Mark-to-Market Commodity Derivative Contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The related cash flow impact is reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


The total fair value of EOG's commodity derivative contracts was reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31,September 30, 2019, as a net asset of $3$123 million.





Prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from NYMEX West Texas Intermediate prices due to adjustments for delivery location (basis) and other factors. EOG has entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma (Midland Differential). Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's Midland Differential basis swap contracts through April 26,October 29, 2019. The weighted average price differential expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl) represents the amount of reduction to Cushing, Oklahoma, prices for the notional volumes expressed in barrels per day (Bbld) covered by the basis swap contracts.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements and projections regarding EOG's future financial position, operations, performance, business strategy, returns, budgets, reserves, levels of production, capital expenditures, costs and asset sales, statements regarding future commodity prices and statements regarding the plans and objectives of EOG's management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target," "aims," "goal," "may," "will," "should" and "believe" or the negative of those terms or other variations or comparable terminology to identify its forward-looking statements. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning EOG's future operating results and returns or EOG's ability to replace or increase reserves, increase production, generate returns, replace or increase drilling locations, reduce or otherwise control operating costs and capital expenditures, generate cash flows, pay down or refinance indebtedness or pay and/or increase dividends are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although EOG believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been correct. Moreover, EOG's forward-looking statements may be affected by known, unknown or currently unforeseen risks, events or circumstances that may be outside EOG's control. Important factors that could cause EOG's actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in EOG's forward-looking statements include, among others:


the timing, extent and duration of changes in prices for, supplies of, and demand for, crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids, natural gas and related commodities;
the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to acquire or discover additional reserves;
the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to economically develop its acreage in, produce reserves and achieve anticipated production levels from, and maximize reserve recovery from, its existing and future crude oil and natural gas exploration and development projects;
the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to market its crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids, natural gas and related commodity production;
the availability, proximity and capacity of, and costs associated with, appropriate gathering, processing, compression, storage, transportation and refining facilities;
the availability, cost, terms and timing of issuance or execution of, and competition for, mineral licenses and leases and governmental and other permits and rights-of-way, and EOG’s ability to retain mineral licenses and leases;
the impact of, and changes in, government policies, laws and regulations, including tax laws and regulations; climate change and other environmental, health and safety laws and regulations relating to air emissions, disposal of produced water, drilling fluids and other wastes, hydraulic fracturing and access to and use of water; laws and regulations imposing conditions or restrictions on drilling and completion operations and on the transportation of crude oil and natural gas; laws and regulations with respect to derivatives and hedging activities; and laws and regulations with respect to the import and export of crude oil, natural gas and related commodities;
EOG's ability to effectively integrate acquired crude oil and natural gas properties into its operations, fully identify existing and potential problems with respect to such properties and accurately estimate reserves, production and costs with respect to such properties;
the extent to which EOG's third-party-operated crude oil and natural gas properties are operated successfully and economically;
competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry for the acquisition of licenses, leases and properties, employees and other personnel, facilities, equipment, materials and services;
the availability and cost of employees and other personnel, facilities, equipment, materials (such as water and tubulars) and services;
the accuracy of reserve estimates, which by their nature involve the exercise of professional judgment and may therefore be imprecise;
weather, including its impact on crude oil and natural gas demand, and weather-related delays in drilling and in the installation and operation (by EOG or third parties) of production, gathering, processing, refining, compression, storage and transportation facilities;
the ability of EOG's customers and other contractual counterparties to satisfy their obligations to EOG and, related thereto, to access the credit and capital markets to obtain financing needed to satisfy their obligations to EOG;
EOG's ability to access the commercial paper market and other credit and capital markets to obtain financing on terms it deems acceptable, if at all, and to otherwise satisfy its capital expenditure requirements;
the extent to which EOG is successful in its completion of planned asset dispositions;
the extent and effect of any hedging activities engaged in by EOG;
    






the timing and extent of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, inflation rates, global and domestic financial market conditions and global and domestic general economic conditions;
geopolitical factors and political conditions and developments around the world (such as the imposition of tariffs or trade or other economic sanctions, political instability and armed conflict), including in the areas in which EOG operates;
the use of competing energy sources and the development of alternative energy sources;
the extent to which EOG incurs uninsured losses and liabilities or losses and liabilities in excess of its insurance coverage;
acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts;
physical, electronic and cybersecurity breaches; and
the other factors described under ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 13 through 22 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and any updates to those factors set forth in EOG's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.


In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements may not occur, and, if any of such events do, we may not have anticipated the timing of their occurrence or the duration or extent of their impact on our actual results. Accordingly, you should not place any undue reliance on any of EOG's forward-looking statements. EOG's forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and EOG undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.

Adoption of New Annual Bonus Plan

On April 29, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board (Compensation Committee) approved and adopted the EOG Resources, Inc. Annual Bonus Plan (Annual Bonus Plan), effective as of January 1, 2019. The Annual Bonus Plan is designed to enhance EOG’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees and provide additional financial incentives to employees to promote the success of the company. Employees of EOG, including executive officers, who are on EOG’s payroll when bonus payments are made will be eligible to receive bonuses under the plan.

    






The Annual Bonus Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. As plan administrator, the Compensation Committee has the authority to (i) interpret the Annual Bonus Plan; (ii) determine the applicable performance goals and bonus opportunities for each participant; and (iii) determine bonus awards for each participant. The Compensation Committee may, however, delegate to EOG’s executive officers the authority to determine the applicable performance goals, bonus opportunities and bonus awards for participants who are not executive officers of the company. Performance goals may be based on company-wide financial, operational and strategic performance measures; financial, operational and strategic performance of one or more business units of the company; personal performance goals for a participant; and/or such other goals as may be determined by the Compensation Committee.

Bonuses awarded pursuant to the Annual Bonus Plan will be paid in cash or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee (as plan administrator), in lieu of such cash payments, in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units awarded under the terms of the Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan or in any combination of cash and restricted stock/restricted stock units. In addition, the Compensation Committee may permit participants who are eligible to participate in the EOG Resources, Inc. 409A Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended) the option to defer the receipt of a cash bonus awarded pursuant to the Annual Bonus Plan in accordance with the terms of such plan. Further, in the event that a participant's employment with EOG terminates for any reason prior to the payment of a bonus, the participant shall forfeit any right to receive such bonus.

The foregoing description of the Annual Bonus Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Annual Bonus Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and is incorporated by reference herein.

Termination of Existing Executive Officer Bonus Plan

Also on April 29, 2019, the Compensation Committee terminated the EOG Resources, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Officer Annual Bonus Plan, with effect from January 1, 2019. Such plan was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to EOG's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2010) and is incorporated by reference herein.
