EOG RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General. The 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 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, 2010, filed on February 24, 2011 (EOG's 2010 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 six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Developments. In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05 "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of comprehensive income in the financial statements by requiring that an entity that reports items of comprehensive income do so in either one or two consecutive financial statements. A single statement should include total net income, the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. In a two-statement approach, an entity will present total net income in the first statement and, in a statement immediately following the first, information about the components of total other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 are effective for quarterly and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Retroactive application is required.

The EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (2008 Plan), provides for grants of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. At June 30, 2011, approximately 6.8 million common shares remained available for grant under the 2008 Plan. EOG's policy is to issue shares related to the 2008 Plan from previously authorized unissued shares.
Stock Options and Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of all Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of stock option and SAR grants is estimated using the Hull-White II binomial option pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $10.5 million and $9.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $19.9 million and $17.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value stock option, SAR and ESPP grants during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

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.

Consists of costs related to a project in the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan Province, China ($27 million), an outside operated, offshore Central North Sea project in the United Kingdom (U.K.) ($22 million), an East Irish Sea project in the U.K. ($9 million), and a shale project in British Columbia, Canada (B.C.) ($6 million). The evaluation of the Sichuan Basin project is expected to be completed in early 2012. In the Central North Sea project, the operator and partners are currently negotiating processing and transportation terms with export infrastructure owners. The operator submitted a revised field development plan to the U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and anticipates receiving approval of this plan during the first quarter of 2012. In the East Irish Sea project, EOG submitted its field development plan to the DECC during the first quarter of 2011 with regulatory approval expected by the end of 2011. In addition, EOG is in the process of designing and constructing the infrastructure for the project in anticipation of final regulatory approval. In the B.C. shale project, EOG drilled four additional wells during the first six months of 2011 to further evaluate the project. The related well completion activities are expected to commence in 2013.

9. 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.
10. Pension and Postretirement Benefits
EOG has a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan and a matched defined contribution savings plan in place for most of its employees in the United States, Canada, Trinidad and the United Kingdom, in addition to defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees of its Canadian and Trinidadian subsidiaries. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, EOG's total costs recognized for these pension plans were $14 million and $13 million, respectively. EOG also has postretirement medical and dental plans in place for eligible employees in the United States and Trinidad, the costs of which are not material.
11. Long-Term Debt and Common Stock
Long-Term Debt. EOG utilizes commercial paper and short-term borrowings from uncommitted credit facilities, bearing market interest rates, for various corporate financing purposes. EOG had no outstanding borrowings from commercial paper issuances or uncommitted credit facilities at June 30, 2011. The average borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program were $3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The weighted average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 0.32%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Unaudited)
EOG currently has two $1.0 billion unsecured Revolving Credit Agreements with domestic and foreign lenders. At June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under either of these agreements. The first $1.0 billion unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (2005 Agreement) matures on June 28, 2012. Advances under the 2005 Agreement accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either the London Interbank Offering Rate plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate) or the base rate (as defined in the 2005 Agreement). At June 30, 2011, the Eurodollar rate and applicable base rate, had there been any amounts borrowed under the 2005 Agreement, would have been 0.38% and 3.25%, respectively.
The second $1.0 billion unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (2010 Agreement) matures on September 10, 2013 (subject to EOG's option to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods). Advances under the 2010 Agreement accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either the Eurodollar rate or the base rate (as defined in the 2010 Agreement) plus an applicable margin. At June 30, 2011, the Eurodollar rate and applicable base rate, had there been any amounts borrowed under the 2010 Agreement, would have been 1.76% and 3.83%, respectively.
Fair Value of Debt. At both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, EOG had outstanding $5,260 million aggregate principal amount of debt, which had estimated fair values of approximately $5,628 million and $5,602 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was based upon quoted market prices and, where such prices were not available, upon interest rates available to EOG at the end of each respective period.
Common Stock. On March 7, 2011, EOG completed the sale of 13,570,000 shares of EOG common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), at the public offering price of $105.50 per share. Net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock were approximately $1,388 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. Proceeds from the sale were used for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures.
On February 17, 2011, the EOG Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock from the previous $0.155 per share to $0.16 per share effective with the dividend paid on April 29, 2011 to stockholders of record as of April 15, 2011.

The estimated fair value of crude oil financial price swap contracts, natural gas financial price swap and basis swap contracts, natural gas swaption contracts and interest rate swap contracts was based upon forward commodity price and interest rate curves based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of the foreign currency rate swap was based upon forward currency rates.
The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and based on estimates of future retirement costs associated with oil and gas properties. 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 7.
Proved oil and gas properties with a carrying amount of $534 million were written down to their fair value of $174 million, resulting in a pretax impairment charge of $360 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Significant Level 3 assumptions associated with the calculation of discounted cash flows used in the impairment analysis include EOG's estimate of future natural gas and crude oil prices, production costs, development expenditures, anticipated production of proved reserves, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates and other relevant data. In connection with certain first quarter 2011 impairments of proved oil and gas properties and other property, plant and equipment, EOG utilized an accepted offer from a third-party buyer.

13. Risk Management Activities
Commodity Price Risk. As more fully discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2010 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, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. In addition to financial transactions, EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions. The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices. EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $190 million and $37 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $123 million and $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Financial Price Swap Contracts. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil and natural gas financial price swap contracts at June 30, 2011, with notional volumes expressed in barrels per day (Bbld) and in million British thermal units per day (MMBtud) and prices expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl) and in dollars per million British thermal units ($/MMBtu), as applicable.

(Unaudited)
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. As more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2010 Annual Report, EOG is party to a foreign currency swap transaction with multiple banks to eliminate any exchange rate impacts that may result from the $150 million principal amount of notes issued by one of EOG's Canadian subsidiaries. EOG accounts for the foreign currency swap transaction using the hedge accounting method. Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency swap do not impact Net Income. The after-tax net impact from the foreign currency swap transaction was a reduction in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) of $1 million and an increase in OCI of $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a reduction in OCI of $0.1 million and an increase in OCI of $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Interest Rate Derivatives. As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2010 Annual Report, EOG is a party to an interest rate swap transaction to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest rates related to EOG's $350 million principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 issued on November 23, 2010. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $350 million and a fair value at June 30, 2011 of $(2) million. EOG accounts for the interest rate swap transaction using the hedge accounting method. The after-tax net impact from the interest rate swap transaction was a decrease in OCI of $4 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
The following table sets forth the amounts, on a gross basis, and classification of EOG's outstanding financial derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Certain amounts may be presented on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements when such amounts are with the same counterparty and subject to a master netting arrangement (in millions):

Credit Risk. Notional contract amounts are used to express the magnitude of commodity price, foreign currency and interest rate swap agreements. 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 12). EOG evaluates its exposure to significant counterparties on an ongoing basis, including those arising from physical and financial transactions. In some instances, EOG requires collateral, parent guarantees or letters of credit to minimize credit risk.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Concluded)
(Unaudited)
All of EOG's outstanding derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (ISDA) 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 rating 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 12 for the aggregate fair value of all outstanding derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. EOG had no collateral posted at either June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
14. Acquisitions and Divestitures
In March 2011, EOG's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, EOG Resources Canada Inc. (EOGRC), purchased an additional 24.5% interest in the proposed Pacific Trail Pipelines (PTP) for $25.2 million. The PTP is intended to link western Canada's natural gas producing regions to the planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal to be located at Bish Cove, near the Port of Kitimat, north of Vancouver, British Columbia (Kitimat LNG Terminal). A portion of the purchase price ($15.3 million) was paid at closing with the remaining amount to be paid contingent on the decision to proceed with the construction of the Kitimat LNG Terminal. Additionally in March 2011, EOGRC and an affiliate of Apache Corporation (Apache), through a series of transactions, sold a portion of their interests in the Kitimat LNG Terminal and PTP to an affiliate of Encana Corporation (Encana). Subsequent to these transactions, ownership interests in both the Kitimat LNG Terminal and PTP are: Apache (operator) 40%, EOGRC 30% and Encana 30%. All future costs of the project will be paid by each party in proportion to its respective ownership percentage.
During the first half of 2011, EOG received proceeds of approximately $944 million from sales of producing properties and acreage and certain midstream assets, primarily in the Rocky Mountain area and Texas, and the sale of a portion of EOG’s interest in the Kitimat LNG Terminal and PTP.
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, Canada, Trinidad, the United Kingdom 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. 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 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 prudent and safe operations is also an important goal in the implementation of EOG's strategy.
United States and Canada. EOG's efforts to identify plays with large reserve potential has proven a successful supplement to its base development and exploitation program in the United States and Canada. EOG continues to drill numerous wells in large acreage plays, which in the aggregate are expected to contribute substantially to EOG's crude oil and natural gas production. EOG has placed an emphasis on applying its horizontal drilling expertise gained from its natural gas resources plays to unconventional crude oil reservoirs. In 2011, EOG has focused its efforts on developing its existing North American crude oil and condensate and natural gas liquids acreage and capturing additional North American horizontal crude oil plays. For the first half of 2011, crude oil and condensate and natural gas liquids production accounted for approximately 33% of total company production as compared to 26% for the comparable period in 2010. North American liquids production accounted for approximately 39% of total North American production during the first half of 2011 as compared to 30% for the comparable period in 2010. This liquids growth reflects production from the Eagle Ford Shale Play near San Antonio, Texas, and increasing amounts of crude oil and condensate and natural gas liquids production in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area and in the Colorado Niobrara. Based on current trends, EOG expects its 2011 crude oil and condensate and natural gas liquids production to continue to increase both in total and as a percentage of total company production as compared to 2010. In addition, EOG continues to evaluate certain potential liquids-rich exploration and development prospects. EOG's major producing areas are in Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming and western Canada. In order to create market diversification for its growing crude oil production, EOG is expanding its crude-by-rail system to deliver crude oil and condensate to St. James, Louisiana, thereby adding the option of receiving a Light Louisiana Sweet crude price. In addition, to further reduce well completion costs, EOG expects to begin using sand from its Wisconsin processing facilities in late 2011.
In March 2011, EOG's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, EOG Resources Canada Inc. (EOGRC), purchased an additional 24.5% interest in the proposed Pacific Trail Pipelines (PTP) for $25.2 million. The PTP is intended to link western Canada's natural gas producing regions to the planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal to be located at Bish Cove, near the Port of Kitimat, north of Vancouver, British Columbia (Kitimat LNG Terminal). A portion of the purchase price ($15.3 million) was paid at closing with the remaining amount to be paid contingent on the decision to proceed with the construction of the Kitimat LNG Terminal. Additionally in March 2011, EOGRC and an affiliate of Apache Corporation (Apache), through a series of transactions, sold a portion of their interests in the Kitimat LNG Terminal and PTP to an affiliate of Encana Corporation (Encana). Subsequent to these transactions, ownership interests in both the Kitimat LNG Terminal and PTP are: Apache (operator) 40%, EOGRC 30% and Encana 30%. All future costs of the project will be paid by each party in proportion to its respective ownership percentage. In the first quarter of 2011, EOGRC and Apache awarded a front-end engineering and design contract to a global engineering company with the final report expected in early 2012.
International. In Trinidad, EOG continued to deliver natural gas under existing supply contracts. Several fields in the South East Coast Consortium (SECC) Block, Modified U(a) Block and Modified U(b) Block, as well as the Pelican Field, have been developed and are producing crude oil and condensate and natural gas. During the first half of 2011, EOG drilled six development wells in the Toucan Field on Block 4(a) and expects to complete these wells in the fourth quarter of 2011 with first production expected in 2012. In the United Kingdom, EOG continues to make progress in field development plans for its East Irish Sea Conwy/Corfe crude oil discovery and its Central North Sea Columbus natural gas discovery. During 2011, EOG signed two exploration contracts and one farm-in agreement covering approximately 100,000 net acres in the Neuquen Basin in Neuquen Province, Argentina.
EOG continues to evaluate other select crude oil and natural gas opportunities outside the United States and Canada primarily by pursuing exploitation opportunities in countries with large shale plays where 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 30% at June 30, 2011 and 34% at December 31, 2010. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.
On March 7, 2011, EOG completed the sale of 13,570,000 shares of EOG common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), at the public offering price of $105.50 per share. Net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock were approximately $1.39 billion after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. Proceeds from the sale were used for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures. During the first half of 2011, EOG funded $3.6 billion in exploration and development and other property, plant and equipment expenditures and paid $82 million in dividends to common stockholders, primarily by utilizing cash on hand, cash provided from its operating activities, proceeds from the Common Stock sold and proceeds from asset sales.
The total anticipated 2011 capital expenditures are estimated to range from $6.8 billion to $7.0 billion, excluding acquisitions. The majority of 2011 expenditures will be focused on United States and Canada crude oil drilling activity and, to a lesser extent, natural gas drilling activity in the Haynesville, Marcellus and British Columbia Horn River Basin plays to hold acreage. EOG expects capital expenditures to be greater than cash flow from operating activities for 2011. Along with the sale of Common Stock discussed above, EOG's business plan includes selling certain non-core natural gas assets in 2011 to cover the anticipated shortfall. In the first half of 2011, proceeds of approximately $944 million were received from sales of producing properties and acreage and certain midstream assets, primarily in the Rocky Mountain area and Texas, and the sale of a portion of EOG's interest in the Kitimat LNG Terminal and PTP. 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 revolving credit facilities and equity and debt offerings. When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer incremental exploration and/or production opportunities. Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the second quarter of 2011 increased $483 million, or 106%, to $939 million from $456 million for the same period of 2010, due to an increase of 35 MBbld, or 50%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate deliveries ($228 million) and a higher composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($255 million). The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased production in Texas (30 MBbld) and Colorado (4 MBbld). Production increases in Texas were the result of increased production from the Eagle Ford and Fort Worth Basin Barnett Combo plays. EOG's composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the second quarter of 2011 increased 37% to $99.77 per barrel compared to $72.69 per barrel for the same period of 2010.
Natural gas liquids revenues for the second quarter of 2011 increased $80 million, or 76%, to $184 million from $104 million for the same period of 2010, due to an increase of 11 MBbld, or 38%, in natural gas liquids deliveries ($40 million) and a higher composite average natural gas liquids price ($40 million). The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased volumes in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale and Rocky Mountain areas. EOG’s composite average natural gas liquids price for the second quarter of 2011 increased 28% to $51.65 per barrel compared to $40.38 per barrel for the same period of 2010.
Wellhead natural gas revenues for the second quarter of 2011 increased $47 million, or 8%, to $600 million from $553 million for the same period of 2010. The increase was due to a higher composite average wellhead natural gas price ($52 million), partially offset by a decrease in natural gas deliveries ($5 million). EOG's composite average wellhead natural gas price for the second quarter of 2011 increased 9% to $4.08 per Mcf compared to $3.73 per Mcf for the same period of 2010.
Natural gas deliveries for the second quarter of 2011 decreased 14 MMcfd, or 1%, to 1,615 MMcfd from 1,629 MMcfd for the same period of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower production in Canada (65 MMcfd), partially offset by increased production in the United States (45 MMcfd) and Trinidad (8 MMcfd). The decreased production in Canada primarily reflects sales of certain shallow natural gas assets in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by increased production from the Horn River Basin area. The increase in the United States was primarily attributable to increased production in Texas (65 MMcfd), Pennsylvania (20 MMcfd) and Louisiana (23 MMcfd), partially offset by decreased production in the Rocky Mountain area (32 MMcfd), Mississippi (17 MMcfd) and New Mexico (7 MMcfd). The increase in Trinidad was primarily attributable to an increase in contractual deliveries.
During the second quarter of 2011, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $190 million compared to net gains of $37 million for the same period of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the net cash inflow related to settled crude oil and natural gas financial price swap contracts was $6 million compared to the net cash inflow related to settled natural gas financial collar, price swap and basis swap contracts of $16 million for the same period of 2010.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues represent sales of third-party crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas as well as fees associated with gathering third-party natural gas. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, gathering, processing and marketing revenues were primarily related to sales of third-party crude oil and natural gas. The purchase and sale of third-party crude oil and natural gas are utilized in order to balance firm transportation capacity with production in certain areas and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities. Marketing costs represent the costs of purchasing third-party crude oil and natural gas and the associated transportation costs.
During the second quarter of 2011, gathering, processing and marketing revenues and marketing costs increased primarily as a result of increased crude oil and natural gas marketing activities. Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the second quarter of 2011 increased to $18 million from $5 million for the same period of 2010 due primarily to increased activity and higher margins from crude oil and natural gas marketing activities.
Operating and Other Expenses. For the second quarter of 2011, operating expenses of $1,982 million were $765 million higher than the $1,217 million incurred in the second quarter of 2010. The following table presents the costs per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, DD&A, and interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 are set forth below.
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 EOG's 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. In general, operating and maintenance costs for wells producing crude oil are higher than operating and maintenance costs for wells producing natural gas.
Lease and well expenses of $217 million for the second quarter of 2011 increased $56 million from $161 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($40 million), increased lease and well administrative expenses ($9 million) and unfavorable changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($2 million).
Transportation costs represent costs associated with the delivery of hydrocarbon products from the lease to a downstream point of sale. Transportation costs include the cost of compression (the cost of compressing natural gas to meet pipeline pressure requirements), dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees, fuel costs, transportation fees and costs associated with crude-by-rail operations.
Transportation costs of $102 million for the second quarter of 2011 increased $8 million from $94 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs in the Upper Gulf Coast area ($6 million), the San Antonio area ($5 million) and the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area ($2 million), partially offset by decreased transportation costs in the Rocky Mountain area ($2 million). The increase in transportation costs primarily reflects increased volumes transported to downstream markets.
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 field 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, reserve revisions (upward or downward) primarily related to well performance and impairments. Changes to these factors may cause EOG's composite DD&A rate and expense to fluctuate from year to year. DD&A of the cost of other property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line depreciation method over the useful lives of the assets. Other property, plant and equipment consists of gathering and processing assets, compressors, crude-by-rail assets, vehicles, buildings and leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and computer hardware and software.
DD&A expenses for the second quarter of 2011 increased $138 million to $603 million from $465 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the second quarter of 2011 were $135 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to higher unit rates in the United States ($72 million) and Trinidad ($14 million) and as a result of increased production in the United States ($66 million), and unfavorable changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($4 million), partially offset by decreased production ($18 million) and lower unit rates ($2 million) in Canada.
DD&A expenses associated with other property, plant and equipment for the second quarter of 2011 were $3 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to gathering and processing assets placed in service in the San Antonio area.
Interest expense, net, of $51 million for the second quarter of 2011 increased $21 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a higher average debt balance ($17 million) and lower 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.
Gathering and processing costs increased $5 million to $18 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $13 million for the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects increased activities in the United States due primarily to increased activity in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area.
Exploration costs of $41 million for the second quarter of 2011 decreased $9 million from $50 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States.
Impairments include amortization of unproved oil and gas property costs, as well as impairments of proved oil and gas properties. Unproved properties with individually significant acquisition costs are amortized over the lease term and analyzed on a property-by-property basis for any impairment in value. 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. When circumstances indicate that a proved property may be impaired, EOG compares expected undiscounted future cash flows at a producing field level to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the future undiscounted cash flows are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally calculated by discounting the future cash flows at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate. For certain natural gas assets held for sale, EOG utilizes accepted bids as the basis for determining fair value.
Impairments of $359 million for the second quarter of 2011 were $278 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of proved properties in Canada ($285 million) and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($19 million), partially offset by decreased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($13 million) and decreased impairments of proved properties in the United States ($11 million). EOG recorded impairments of proved properties of $312 million and $20 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Impairments of proved properties in the second quarter of 2011 relate primarily to certain Canadian shallow natural gas assets.
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 second quarter of 2011 increased $26 million to $104 million (6.1% of wellhead revenues) compared to $78 million (7.0% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes as a result of increased wellhead revenues in the United States ($29 million) and higher ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($3 million), partially offset by an increase in credits available to EOG in 2011 for Texas high-cost gas severance tax rate reductions ($3 million) and lower ad valorem/property taxes in Canada as a result of asset dispositions during 2010 ($2 million).
Other income (expense), net for the second quarter of 2011 increased $7 million from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher equity income from ammonia plants in Trinidad ($3 million) and an increase in foreign currency transaction gains ($2 million).
Income tax provision of $248 million for the second quarter of 2011 increased $198 million compared to the same prior year period due primarily to taxes associated with increased pretax earnings. The effective tax rate of 46% for the second quarter of 2011 was unchanged from the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 exceeded the United States federal statutory tax rate (35%) due to losses related to the Canadian shallow natural gas asset impairment (27% statutory tax rate) and earnings in Trinidad (55% statutory tax rate).
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Net Operating Revenues. During the first six months of 2011, net operating revenues increased $1,738 million, or 64%, to $4,467 million from $2,729 million for the same period of 2010. Total wellhead revenues for the first six months of 2011 increased $912 million, or 40%, to $3,212 million from $2,300 million for the same period of 2010. During the first six months of 2011, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $123 million compared to net gains of $45 million for the same period of 2010. Gathering, processing and marketing revenues for the first six months of 2011 increased $515 million, or 140%, to $883 million from $368 million for the same period of 2010. Gains on asset dispositions, net, of $236 million for the first six months of 2011 primarily consist of gains on asset dispositions in the Rocky Mountain area and Texas.
Wellhead volume and price statistics for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first six months of 2011 increased $834 million, or 97%, to $1,696 million from $862 million for the same period of 2010, due to an increase of 33 MBbld, or 49%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate deliveries ($452 million) and a higher composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($382 million). The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased production in Texas (24 MBbld) and Colorado (4 MBbld). Production increases in Texas were the result of increased production from the Eagle Ford and Fort Worth Basin Barnett Combo plays. EOG's composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first six months of 2011 increased 29% to $93.95 per barrel compared to $72.77 per barrel for the same period of 2010.
Natural gas liquids revenues for the first six months of 2011 increased $126 million, or 60%, to $333 million from $207 million for the same period of 2010, due to an increase of 11 MBbld, or 41%, in natural gas liquids deliveries ($85 million) and a higher composite average natural gas liquids price ($41 million). The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased volumes in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale and Rocky Mountain areas. EOG’s composite average natural gas liquids price for the first six months of 2011 increased 14% to $49.29 per barrel compared to $43.25 per barrel for the same period of 2010.
Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first six months of 2011 decreased $46 million, or 4%, to $1,184 million from $1,230 million for the same period of 2010. The decrease was due to a lower composite average wellhead natural gas price ($61 million), partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries ($15 million). EOG's composite average wellhead natural gas price for the first six months of 2011 decreased 5% to $3.98 per Mcf compared to $4.18 per Mcf for the same period of 2010.
Natural gas deliveries for the first six months of 2011 increased 20 MMcfd, or 1%, to 1,645 MMcfd from 1,625 MMcfd for the same period of 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased production in the United States (69 MMcfd) and Trinidad (21 MMcfd), partially offset by lower production in Canada (67 MMcfd). The increase in the United States was primarily attributable to increased production in Texas (95 MMcfd), Pennsylvania (17 MMcfd) and Louisiana (12 MMcfd), partially offset by decreased production in the Rocky Mountain area (29 MMcfd), Mississippi (14 MMcfd) and New Mexico (5 MMcfd). The increase in Trinidad was primarily attributable to an increase in contractual deliveries. The decreased production in Canada primarily reflects sales of certain shallow natural gas assets in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by increased production from the Horn River Basin area.
During the first six months of 2011, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $123 million compared to net gains of $45 million for the same period of 2010. During the first six months of 2011, the net cash inflow related to settled crude oil and natural gas financial price swap contracts and natural gas basis swap contracts was $31 million compared to the net cash inflow related to settled natural gas financial collar, price swap and basis swap contracts of $39 million for the same period of 2010.
During the first six months of 2011, gathering, processing and marketing revenues and marketing costs increased primarily as a result of increased crude oil and natural gas marketing activities. Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the first six months of 2011 totaled $28 million compared to $8 million for the same period of 2010, primarily as a result of increased activity and higher margins from crude oil and natural gas marketing activities.
Operating and Other Expenses. For the first six months of 2011, operating expenses of $3,607 million were $1,239 million higher than the $2,368 million incurred in the same period of 2010. The following table presents the costs per Boe for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, DD&A, G&A, and interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 are set forth below.
Lease and well expenses of $432 million for the first six months of 2011 increased $105 million from $327 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($82 million) and higher lease and well administrative expenses ($18 million).
Transportation costs of $200 million for the first six months of 2011 increased $17 million from $183 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs in the Upper Gulf Coast area ($13 million), the San Antonio area ($5 million) and the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area ($5 million), partially offset by decreased transportation costs in Canada ($2 million) and the South Texas area ($2 million). The increase in transportation costs primarily reflects increased volumes transported to downstream markets.
DD&A expenses for the first six months of 2011 increased $274 million to $1,171 million from $897 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first six months of 2011 were $268 million higher than the same prior year period primarily as a result of increased production in the United States ($133 million), higher unit rates in the United States ($129 million) and Trinidad ($32 million) and unfavorable changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($8 million), partially offset by decreased production in Canada ($35 million).
DD&A expenses associated with other property, plant and equipment for the first six months of 2011 were $6 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to gathering and processing assets placed in service in the Rocky Mountain area ($3 million) and the San Antonio area ($2 million).
G&A expenses of $137 million for the first six months of 2011 increased $12 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher employee-related costs.
Interest expense, net, of $102 million for the first six months of 2011 increased $47 million from $55 million for the same prior year period primarily due to a higher average debt balance ($39 million) and lower capitalized interest ($7 million).
Gathering and processing costs for the first six months of 2011 increased $8 million to $37 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to increased activities in the United States ($5 million), due primarily to increased activity in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area, and Canada ($3 million).
Exploration costs of $92 million for the first six months of 2011 decreased $9 million from $101 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States.
Impairments of $448 million for the first six months of 2011 were $298 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of proved properties in Canada ($284 million) and in the United States ($27 million) and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($19 million), partially offset by decreased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($30 million). EOG recorded impairments of proved properties of $360 million and $31 million for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Impairments of proved properties in the first six months of 2011 relate primarily to certain Canadian shallow natural gas assets.
Taxes other than income for the first six months of 2011 increased $56 million to $210 million (6.5% of wellhead revenues) from $154 million (6.7% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes primarily as a result of increased wellhead revenues in the United States ($49 million), Trinidad ($2 million) and Canada ($2 million) and higher ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($4 million), partially offset by lower ad valorem/property taxes in Canada as a result of property dispositions during 2010 ($3 million).
Other income (expense), net was $10 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to $2 million for the same prior year period. The increase of $8 million was primarily due to an increase in foreign currency transaction gains ($7 million) and higher equity income from EOG's investment in ammonia plants in Trinidad ($2 million).
Income tax provision of $339 million for the first six months of 2011 increased $210 million compared to the same prior year period due primarily to taxes associated with increased pretax earnings. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2011 increased to 44% from 42% in the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2011 exceeded the United States federal statutory tax rate (35%) due to losses related to the Canadian shallow natural gas asset impairment (27% statutory tax rate) and earnings in Trinidad (55% statutory tax rate).
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash Flow. The primary sources of cash for EOG during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were funds generated from operations, net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock previously discussed, proceeds from asset sales and proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock purchase plan activity. The primary uses of cash were funds used in operations; exploration and development expenditures; other property, plant and equipment expenditures; and dividend payments to stockholders. During the first six months of 2011, EOG's cash balance increased $788 million to $1,577 million from $789 million at December 31, 2010.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $2,069 million for the first six months of 2011 increased $768 million compared to the same period of 2010 primarily reflecting an increase in wellhead revenues ($913 million) and a decrease in net cash paid for income taxes ($46 million), partially offset by an increase in cash operating expenses ($179 million), unfavorable changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities ($32 million), an increase in net cash paid for interest expense ($21 million) and an unfavorable change in net cash flow from the settlement of financial commodity derivative contracts ($8 million).
Net cash used in investing activities of $2,595 million for the first six months of 2011 increased by $365 million compared to the same period of 2010 due primarily to an increase in additions to oil and gas properties ($834 million); an increase in additions to other property, plant and equipment ($224 million); and unfavorable changes in working capital associated with investing activities ($213 million); partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of assets ($903 million).

Exploration and development expenditures of $3,214 million for the first six months of 2011 were $822 million higher than the same period of 2010 due primarily to increased drilling and facilities expenditures in the United States ($1,001 million), the United Kingdom ($18 million) and Trinidad ($10 million); changes in the foreign currency exchange rate in Canada ($9 million) and increased dry hole costs in the United States ($9 million); partially offset by decreased leasehold acquisitions expenditures in the United States ($113 million) and Canada ($11 million); decreased drilling and facilities expenditures in China ($28 million) and Canada ($15 million); decreased dry hole costs in the United Kingdom ($22 million) and Trinidad ($5 million); decreased property acquisitions expenditures in the United States ($17 million); decreased capitalized interest in the United States ($7 million) and decreased exploration geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States ($9 million). The exploration and development expenditures for the first six months of 2011 of $3,214 million include $2,902 million in development, $278 million in exploration, $30 million in capitalized interest and $4 million in property acquisitions. The exploration and development expenditures for the first six months of 2010 of $2,392 million include $1,743 million in development, $591 million in exploration, $37 million in capitalized interest and $21 million in property acquisitions.
The level of exploration and development expenditures, including acquisitions, will vary in future periods depending on energy market conditions and other related 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 operations in the United States, Canada, Trinidad, the United Kingdom and China, 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 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on February 24, 2011, 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, 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 Gains on Mark-to-Market Commodity Derivative Contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The related cash flow impact is reflected as Cash Flows from Operating Activities. In addition to financial transactions, EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions. The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.
Financial Price Swap Contracts. The total fair value of EOG's crude oil and natural gas financial price swap contracts was reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2011 as a net asset of $24 million and a net asset of $106 million, respectively. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil and natural gas financial price swap contracts at August 4, 2011, with notional volumes expressed in barrels per day (Bbld) and in million British thermal units per day (MMBtud) and prices expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl) and in dollars per million British thermal units ($/MMBtu), as applicable.

EOG has entered into natural gas financial price swap contracts which give counterparties the option of entering into price swap contracts at future dates. Such options are exercisable monthly up until the settlement date of each monthly contract. If the counterparties exercise all such options, the notional volume of EOG's existing natural gas financial price swap contracts will increase by 500,000 MMBtud at an average price of $4.73 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) for the period from September 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.

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 and costs 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," "goal," "may," "will" 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 or generate income or cash flows 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 and unknown 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 and extent of changes in prices for, and demand for, crude oil, 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 can optimize reserve recovery and economically develop its plays utilizing horizontal and vertical drilling and advanced completion technologies;
|
·
|
the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to economically develop its acreage in, and to produce reserves and achieve anticipated production levels from, its existing and future crude oil and natural gas exploration and development projects, given the risks and uncertainties inherent in drilling, completing and operating crude oil and natural gas wells and the potential for interruptions of development and production, whether involuntary or intentional as a result of market or other conditions;
|
·
|
the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to market its crude oil, natural gas and related commodity production;
|
·
|
the availability, proximity and capacity of, and costs associated with, gathering, processing, compression and transportation 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;
|
·
|
the impact of, and changes in, government policies, laws and regulations, including tax laws and regulations, environmental laws and regulations relating to air emissions, waste disposal and hydraulic fracturing and laws and regulations imposing conditions and restrictions on drilling and completion operations;
|
·
|
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 employees and other personnel, equipment, materials and services and, related thereto, the availability and cost of employees and other personnel, equipment, materials 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 of production, gathering, processing, compression 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;
|
·
|
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;
|
·
|
political developments around the world, including in the areas in which EOG operates;
|
·
|
the timing and impact of liquefied natural gas imports;
|
·
|
the use of competing energy sources and the development of alternative energy sources;
|
·
|
the extent to which EOG incurs uninsured losses and liabilities;
|
·
|
acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts; and
|
·
|
the other factors described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," on pages 14 through 20 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
|
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 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.
