CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

     Director Independence

     The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that six of our directors, Messrs. Alcorn, Crisp, Stevens, Steward, Textor and Wisner, who together constitute three-fourths of our directors, have no material relationship with EOG and thus meet the criteria for independence required by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and our bylaws. In determining Mr. Wisner’s independence, the Board of Directors considered the nature and extent of the business relationship between EOG and American International Group Inc., for which Mr. Wisner serves as Vice Chairman – External Affairs and found that the business relationship is not material to us. In determining the independence of Mr. Textor, the Board of Directors considered the nature and extent of the business relationship between EOG and The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P., of which Mr. Textor was formerly a partner, and found that the business relationship is not material to us. The independence standards contained in our bylaws are available on our website at www.eogresources.com and are attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, no director may serve on more than three other public company boards.

     Meetings

     The Board of Directors held six regularly scheduled meetings during the year ended December 31, 2006. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which the director served. We encourage each director to attend our annual shareholders’ meeting. Each director attended the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

     Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

     The non-management directors held four executive sessions in 2006. Mr. Steward was appointed by the non-management directors as the presiding director for these meetings. Mr. Stevens has been appointed by the non-management directors as the presiding director for executive sessions in 2007.

Committees

     The Board of Directors uses working committees with functional responsibility in the more complex recurring areas where disinterested oversight is required. Each committee identified below has a charter, including a printable version, that is available at our website at www.eogresources.com. The charters are also available in print upon request.

3


     Nominating Committee

     The Nominating Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent directors, is responsible for proposing qualified candidates to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors without regard to race, sex, age, religion or physical disability. Nominees for director should possess personal and professional integrity, have good business judgment, have relevant experience and skills, and be willing and able to commit the necessary time for Board and committee service. The Nominating Committee will also consider whether a nominee has the knowledge, background and experience to serve as an Audit Committee Financial Expert.

     Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the following minimum requirements for directors:

  • No director shall be eligible to stand for election or re-election after having attained the age of 74, unless approved by the Board of Directors;

  • At least 3/5 of our directors must meet the criteria for independence required by the NYSE and our bylaws; and

  • No director may serve on more than three other public company boards.

     The Nominating Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. As an alternative to term limits for directors, the Nominating Committee reviews each director’s continuation on the Board of Directors every three years. The Nominating Committee also regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating Committee will consider various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating Committee through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. In evaluating such nominations, the Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders in accordance with the procedures outlined on page 35 of this Proxy Statement.

     The Nominating Committee met three times during the year ended December 31, 2006. The Nominating Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Crisp (Chairman), Alcorn, Stevens, Steward, Textor and Wisner.

     Audit Committee

     The Audit Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent directors, has been established by the Board of Directors to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. The Board of Directors has determined that we currently do not have an Audit Committee Financial Expert serving on the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has selected the members of the Audit Committee based on the Board’s determination that they are qualified to monitor the performance of management and the independent auditors and to monitor our disclosures so that they fairly present our financial condition and results of operation. In addition, the Audit Committee has the ability on its own and at our expense to retain independent accountants or other consultants whenever it deems appropriate. The Board of Directors believes that this is equivalent to having an Audit Committee Financial Expert on the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors believes it is desirable to nominate as a director a person who would qualify as an Audit Committee Financial Expert, but only if that person also has the other experience, attributes and qualifications that we are then seeking for new members of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Nominating Committee has been directed to include in the information that it seeks from potential nominees to the Board of Directors whether that person has the knowledge, background and experience to qualify as an Audit Committee Financial Expert and to consider such qualifications when proposing nominees for the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint independent public accountants as our auditors and reviews, as deemed appropriate, the scope of the audit, the accounting policies and reporting practices, the system of internal controls, compliance with policies regarding business conduct and other matters. The Audit Committee met six times during the year ended December 31, 2006, and is currently composed of Messrs. Textor (Chairman), Alcorn, Crisp, Stevens, Steward and Wisner.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     In connection with our December 31, 2006 financial statements, the Audit Committee (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management; (2) discussed with the independent auditors the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in Rule 3200T; and (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3600T, discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors’ independence, and considered whether the provision of non-audit services by our principal auditors is compatible with maintaining auditor independence. Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shareholder Communications with the Board

     The Board of Directors has a process in place for shareholders to send communications to the Board. Our shareholders shall submit such communications in writing to our Corporate Secretary, who upon receipt of any communication other than one that is clearly marked “Confidential” will note the date the communication was received in a log established for that purpose, open the Board communication, make a copy of it for our files, and promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is directed. Upon receipt of any communication that is clearly marked “Confidential”, our Corporate Secretary will not open the communication, but will note the date the communication was received in a log established for that purpose, and promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed. Further information regarding this process can be found on our website at www.eogresources.com/about/corpgov.html. Interested parties can communicate directly with the presiding director of the non-management directors, or the non-management directors as a group, using the same procedure outlined above for general shareholder communications with the Board, except any such communication should be addressed to the presiding director, or to the non-management directors as a group, as applicable.

Codes of Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines

     We have adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all our directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, as well as Corporate Governance Guidelines. Links to these documents, including printable versions, are available on our website at www.eogresources.com/about/corpgov.html. The documents are also available in print upon request. In February 2006, the Board of Directors amended our Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide that any nominee for director who fails to receive a majority vote as required by our Bylaws must promptly tender his or her resignation to the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will evaluate the resignation and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors who will then act on the tendered resignation within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

     Compensation Committee

     Compensation for our executive officers, including our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and each of our three other most highly compensated executive officers (the Named Officers), is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee is an independent committee of the Board and is responsible for reviewing and establishing the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and all other executive officers. The Committee has the sole authority to retain compensation consultants and any other type of legal or accounting adviser it deems appropriate. It is the Committee’s general practice not to use a compensation consultant and none was used in reviewing and determining compensation for 2006. The Committee reviews comparative data compiled by our Human Resources department from publicly available information and draws its own conclusions prior to making compensation decisions.

     Based on its analysis of comparative data presented and its own conclusions regarding that data, the Committee determines the compensation of our CEO during an executive session of the Committee, at which the CEO is not present. Our CEO makes recommendations regarding the compensation of the other Named Officers to the Committee, which they may discuss in executive session. The final determination as to the compensation of the other Named Officers is made solely by the Committee.

     The Committee usually holds at least one meeting each fiscal quarter. At the meeting held in the first quarter, the Committee reviews and discusses our performance report with respect to financial and operational results in the prior year, approves the annual bonus payout, which includes both non-equity incentives and restricted stock/units, for the Named Officers based on the performance report, and sets any criteria to be considered in determining the bonus payout for the next year. At the meeting held in the second quarter, the Committee reviews and recommends any changes to non-employee director compensation. At the third quarter meeting, the Committee reviews comparative data on executive compensation and reviews and approves salary increases and annual stock option/Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) and/or restricted stock grants for all executive officers, including the Named Officers, and all employees. Throughout the year, as necessary, the Committee approves amendments to our stock plans and benefit plans, reviews and approves employment agreements, reviews and revises stock grant vesting and termination provisions, revises the amount available for grant under our CEO’s discretionary pool of stock options/SARs and restricted stock and takes any other action necessary or appropriate.

     Objectives of our Compensation Program

     The Committee is guided by the following key principles in determining the compensation of our CEO and other Named Officers:

  • Competition. The Committee believes that compensation should reflect the competitive marketplace, so we can attract, motivate, and retain top industry talent.

  • Accountability for Company Performance. Compensation should be tied in part to financial and operational performance, so that executives are held accountable through their compensation for the performance of the businesses for which they are responsible.

  • Accountability for Individual Performance. Compensation should be tied in part to the individual’s performance to encourage and reflect individual contributions to our performance.

  • Alignment with Shareholder Interests. Compensation should be tied in part to our stock price performance through the grant of stock options/SARs and restricted stock/units, to align executives’ interests with those of our shareholders.

7


     The Committee believes that appropriately balanced compensation components contribute to our success and that the best compensation philosophy is to put a substantial portion of the total compensation package at risk, tied to both our financial results and the performance of our common stock. On an annual basis, the Committee reviews a tally sheet setting forth base salary, annual non-equity incentive payments, long-term incentive awards, perquisites and other benefits for our CEO and the other Named Officers as compared to industry peer companies based on current, publicly available data. Companies included in the Committee’s peer review include Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache Corporation, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Devon Energy Corporation, Murphy Oil Corporation, Newfield Exploration Company, Noble Energy Inc., Pioneer Natural Resources Company, Pogo Producing Company and XTO Energy Inc. The Committee supports a practice of paying base salaries that approximate the median of the competitive market (adjusted for market capitalization), and annual non-equity incentive payments and long-term incentives which deliver above average compensation if financial results and/or shareholder returns exceed the average achieved by industry peer companies. In setting or approving compensation of the CEO and the other Named Officers, the Committee reviews and considers the allocation of total compensation (among salary, annual non-equity incentive payments, and equity compensation components), and the total theoretical compensation value, including actual realized stock option gains, at our peer companies. The Committee then makes a subjective judgment as to the appropriate allocation of total compensation among the various components in implementing its philosophy described above. Generally, our total compensation package is more heavily weighted toward long-term compensation than our peer companies.

     The Committee also believes that it is in the best interest of shareholders for all of our executive officers to maintain a certain level of ownership in EOG. Therefore, stock ownership guidelines have been established ranging from one times base salary for Vice Presidents to up to five times base salary for the CEO. Each Named Officer currently meets the stated ownership guideline. We have no policies in place for hedging the economic risks of stock ownership under these guidelines.

     Compensation Program Design

     Consistent with the objectives described above, the compensation package of the CEO and the other Named Officers consists primarily of the following elements:

  • Base Salary
     
  • Cash Bonus (Non-Equity Incentive)
     
  • Stock Options/SARs
     
  • Restricted Stock Units
     
  • Restricted Stock

     A more detailed discussion of each element of compensation is provided below. We do not use any formulas to determine the amount of each element to be paid. Each element of compensation is reviewed individually relative to the objectives of that element. The Committee reviews base salary and non-equity incentives combined and compares this to our peer companies relative to market capitalization. The Committee also compares the Named Officer’s total realized compensation annually, including stock option gains relative to one-year shareholder returns, to that at our peer companies to confirm that the size of the annual stock option/SAR grants is appropriate. The Committee considers published market analyses and rankings to aid in determining if equity incentives are delivering rewards commensurate with company and stock performance. We currently do not have any policies in place regarding the adjustment or recovery of payments or awards in the event that we were required to restate any of our financial results. We believe that our accounting practices are conservative and we have not been required to restate our financial results at any time since becoming an independent company in 1999, thus the Committee has not deemed any adjustment or recovery policies necessary at this time.

     Elements of In-Service Compensation

     The following describes the elements of our in-service compensation package and explains why we choose to pay each element and how we determine the amount to be paid.

     Base Salary:

  • Purpose: Base Salary is used to attract industry talent and to reward individual performance.
     
  • How amount is determined:

n Each Named Officer has entered into an employment agreement with EOG that guarantees a minimum base salary during the term of the agreement. The terms of each Named Officer’s employment agreement is described under “Employment Contracts” on page 16 of this Proxy Statement.

n The amount of base salary that is paid above the guaranteed minimum is determined by review of comparable executive salaries at our peer companies adjusted for market capitalization.

n At his request, our CEO’s base salary is currently being held flat at $940,000 annually to avoid his salary becoming disproportionate in amount to the rest of our employees. Since our CEO is not receiving annual pay increases, the Committee has authorized us to contribute up to $50,000 annually into the EOG Resources Scholarship Fund, though these contributions are not made on our CEO’s behalf or in his name.

     Cash Bonus (Non-Equity Incentive):

  • Purpose: Annual cash bonuses are paid to reward each individual’s contribution to our operational and financial results.
     
  • How amount is determined:

n Each Named Officer has a bonus target specified in his employment agreement that ranges from 60% to 100% of base salary.

n In determining the actual amount to be paid to each individual, the Committee reviews the criteria outlined in our Executive Officer Annual Bonus Plan described below and the amount of annual bonus paid in previous years. Our CEO reviews with the Committee each other Named Officer’s performance relative to individual goals set by the respective officer and the CEO.

n Our Executive Officer Annual Bonus Plan was approved by shareholders in 2001. The performance goal necessary for payment of bonuses is the achievement of positive Net Income Available to Common, excluding nonrecurring or extraordinary items, as reported in our year-end earnings release. This performance goal was met in 2006.

n The maximum individual bonus for any calendar year is $2,000,000. The Committee may reduce the bonus payable to an executive officer below the maximum amount based on objective or subjective criteria in its sole discretion. The criteria currently considered by the Committee are the reinvestment rate of return of the capital expenditure program, production volume growth, reserve replacement, finding cost of adding new reserves, stock price performance relative to peer companies and the level of cash flow and net income.

n These criteria are designed to address both our current financial performance and the long-term development. No specific formula is used for weighting these performance criteria. At its first meeting of each year, management presents and the Committee reviews and discusses a performance report detailing our actual financial and operational results from the prior year and how these results compare with the bonus payout criteria set in the prior year. The Committee considers the satisfaction of these criteria in its determination of the annual bonus payout, but it

9


has the discretion to weight the satisfaction or lack of satisfaction of the criteria as the Committee deems appropriate. The only criteria that must be achieved for the annual bonus payout is a positive Net Income Available to Common.

n Historically, a percentage, in the Committee’s discretion, of the annual bonus payout for each Named Officer is paid in restricted stock units for retention purposes. Beginning in 2007, restricted stock will be used instead of restricted stock units, unless the recipient is impacted by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), as discussed below. For bonuses paid in 2007 for 2006 performance, the Committee approved delivery of 20% of the bonuses paid to the Named Officers in restricted stock/units. The terms of the restricted stock/units are described below.

     Stock Options/SARs:

  • Purpose: Stock options and/or SARs are granted annually to align the executives’ interest with those of shareholders and to reward executives when shareholder value is increased.

  • How the number of options/SARs is determined:

n We normally grant stock options/SARs to all our employees annually. Stock option/SAR grants to the Named Officers come out of the pool approved for all employees. The size of the pool is determined by reviewing 1) the current options/SARs outstanding as a percentage of total shares outstanding and 2) the number of options/SARs granted per year as a percentage of total shares outstanding versus that at our peer companies.

n The size of the individual grant to each Named Officer is determined by reviewing the value of the grant versus that delivered at peer companies and by reviewing individual performance, level of retention mechanisms currently in place and previous years’ grants (not including realized gains from those grants). In comparing grants delivered at peer companies, the Committee considers the peer’s relative shareholder returns to ours and adjusts the level of grants accordingly.

n Under our 1992 Stock Plan, no individual shall be granted SARs totaling more than 100,000 shares in any calendar year. Due to this limitation, our CEO was awarded 100,000 SARs and 100,000 stock options in 2006.

  • Terms of options/SARs:

n Under our 1992 Stock Plan, the Committee is authorized to grant awards of stock options, SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock units.

n Our current practice is for stock options granted under the 1992 Stock Plan to vest in 25% increments over four years and have an option price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options and SARs granted to our CEO in 2006 vest in 50% increments over 2 years in order to complete the vesting at or prior to his attaining age 62. Generally, grants vest 100% upon death, disability or retirement after age 62. The Committee believes that the accelerated vesting will eliminate any potential motivation for our CEO to retire at age 62 in order to accelerate the vesting of his options/SARs.

n Beginning with grants made in August 2005, stock options are exercisable for seven years, instead of the historical ten years.

n Beginning with the 2006 annual grant, we began using stock-settled SARs instead of traditional non-qualified stock options to lessen the dilutive impact of the grants on shareholders.

n Prospectively, the Committee may utilize the other types of awards available under the 1992 Stock Plan in order to 1) balance the long-term objectives of market competitiveness, motivation and retention, 2) maximize the perceived compensation value to the executive, and 3) minimize the actual cost to EOG, all in the best interest of shareholders.

10


n Grant dates for option/SAR grants are set at approximately two weeks from the date of the meeting of the Committee to allow time to allocate the pool of options to each employee. Grants for new hires are made on the first trading day of the month following the date of hire.

     Bonus Restricted Stock/Units (Stock Awards):

  • Purpose: Restricted stock units that vest 5 years from the date of grant have been granted historically as part of the executive’s annual bonus payout to provide a retention component. The Committee also believes that providing a portion of the annual bonus in restricted stock units puts additional emphasis on our long-term strategy and health and increased focus on improving shareholder value. Restricted stock units have been used, as opposed to restricted stock, to provide a tax deferral mechanism that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Beginning in 2007, restricted stock units will only be used if the executive will reach age 62, our normal retirement age, prior to the grant’s vesting date.

  • How the number of shares of restricted stock/units is determined:

n In 2006, 20% of each Named Officer’s annual bonus payout was delivered in restricted stock/units with a premium of up to three times the value of the portion of the annual bonus payout that otherwise would have been delivered in cash.

n The percentage of annual bonus payout to be delivered in restricted stock/units is at the Committee’s sole discretion.

  • Terms of restricted stock/units:

n Awards generally vest 5 years from the date of grant.

n Awards are granted under our 1992 Stock Plan described above.

     Restricted Stock (Stock Awards):

  • Purpose: Restricted Stock is issued periodically as a method of retention and to further align executive and shareholder interests. It also has been issued and may be issued in the future to the Named Officers as an inducement to enter into employment contracts.

  • How the number of shares of restricted stock is determined:

n The Committee reviews the marketplace and considers if additional long-term incentives are necessary for retention.

n The Committee also reviews current levels of unvested restricted stock for the Named Officers to ensure that an adequate number of unvested shares remain to maintain the level of long-term incentive.

  • Terms of restricted stock:

n Restricted stock is awarded under our 1992 Stock Plan described above. Awards typically vest 5 years from the date of grant.

n Restricted stock units will be used instead of restricted stock if the executive will reach age 62 prior to the grant’s vesting date.

n In accordance with the 1992 Stock plan, shares of non-vested restricted stock are forfeited upon termination of employment for any reason other than death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination. Involuntary termination is defined as termination by us, other than for cause.

11


     Other Compensation/Benefits:

  • 1996 Deferral Plan.

n To allow certain key employees, including the Named Officers, to reduce current compensation thereby reducing current taxable income, we maintain the 1996 Deferral Plan under which payment of a percentage of base salary and annual bonus may be deferred to a later specified date.

n The Deferral Plan pays at market mutual fund investment returns based upon participant elections and does not credit above-market or preferential earnings.

n We may make contributions to the 1996 Deferral Plan on behalf of the Named Officers in the event of a reduction in benefits under our Retirement Plans due to either statutory and/or plan earnings limits, or because the executive elects to defer salary into the 1996 Deferral Plan. These contributions are intended to provide the entire contribution amount to the executive’s Retirement Plans as if there were no statutory or other limitations (the Make Whole Contributions).

  • Perquisite Allowances. Each Named Officer receives a perquisite allowance of 3% of his annual base salary to be used for certain enumerated items. The 3% allowance is not grossed up for income taxes. We provide a perquisite allowance rather than pay for perquisites on an individual basis to ensure that each Named Officer receives a similar value and to lessen the administrative burden of documentation for individual items. Named Officers do not have to submit reimbursement requests on these enumerated items and are able to select among various items as they believe appropriate.

  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Each Named Officer has the opportunity to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan to the same extent as all other employees. This allows employees to purchase our stock at a 15% discount with no commission or fees.

  • Medical, Life, Disability and Retirement Plans. Each Named Officer participates in the same benefit plans available to all our employees. We have no executive medical, life or disability plans, nor do we have supplemental retirement benefits for our executives, other than the Make Whole Contributions.

  • Matching Gifts. To encourage charitable giving, we will match, up to $60,000 annually, charitable contributions or gifts given by any employee or director. We also match 100% of any contributions made under our company-wide annual United Way campaign. Named Officers participate in this program to the same extent as all other employees.

  • Sporting Event Tickets. We provide tickets to local sporting events for use by all employees. Executive officers, including the Named Officers, have first priority over use of these tickets. These items are not included in the taxable income of the employee and there are no gross ups for any taxes.

  • Service Awards. Named Officers participate in our service award program to the same extent as all other employees. In 2006, our CEO celebrated 25 years of service and received one week’s pay along with a nominal gift.

     Elements of Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits

     The elements of our post-termination compensation and benefits and the events that trigger those benefits are discussed under “Post-Employment Compensation” on page 20 of this Proxy Statement. The Named Officers have individual Change of Control Agreements that provide benefits in addition to the Change of Control Severance Plan that applies to all employees because the Committee believes that the risk of job loss in a change of control is higher among executive officers and the time to secure appropriate substitute employment may be longer. The Committee believes that these change of control benefits are a retention device in a competitive market and intends that our Named Officers be compensated should they be involuntarily terminated after a change in control, should they voluntarily terminate under circumstances that constitute good reason or should

12


they terminate for any reason after 6 months following the change of control, which the Committee believes is sufficient time to determine if there is potential for a long-term employment relationship with the acquiring company.

     Tax and Accounting Considerations

     In setting elements of compensation, the Committee considers the impact of the following tax and accounting provisions:

  • Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million paid to the CEO and the four other most highly compensated executive officers of a company, as reported in that company’s proxy statement. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. Historically, we have structured the key component of our long-term incentives in the form of stock option grants that comply with the statute. Our Executive Officer Annual Bonus Plan, discussed above, also complies with the statute. The Committee is committed to preserving the deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) whenever practicable, but does grant awards that are non-deductible, such as restricted stock and restricted stock units, when it feels such grants are in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders.

  • Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires a public company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity awards we grant are structured to comply with the requirements of SFAS No. 123R to maintain the appropriate equity accounting treatment.

  • Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code, as amended, provides that deferrals of compensation under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for all taxable years are currently includible in gross income to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in gross income, unless certain requirements are met. We structure deferred compensation items to be in compliance with Section 409A. We do not currently grant any discounted options to which Section 409A may apply.

  • Section 280G and Section 4999. We consider the impact of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code in determining our post-termination compensation. We provide reimbursement for any excise tax, interest and penalties incurred if payments or benefits received due to a change of control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

and (b) Grant dates are set approximately two weeks after the Approval Date to allow time for individual managers to allocate the approved pool to employees. The Committee determines the grant size for each Named Officer on the Approval Date to be granted on the same future grant date as other employees.

15


(c)      

All restricted stock units granted in 2006 were in connection with the annual bonus for 2005. The restricted stock units vest five years from date of grant. Upon the date a press release is issued announcing a pending shareholder vote, tender offer, or other transaction which, if approved and consummated, would constitute a change of control as defined in our Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Plan, all restrictions placed on each share of non-vested restricted stock unit shall lapse. Dividend equivalents accrue from the date of grant and become payable effective with the vesting date of the shares.

 
(d)

Due to the limitation on the number of SARs we are able to grant under our 1992 Stock Plan, Mr. Papa was granted 100,000 SARs and 100,000 stock options. All other Named Officers were granted only SARs in 2006. Stock options/SARs awarded to Mr. Papa vest at the cumulative rate of 50% per year, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. SARs awarded to the other Named Officers vest at the cumulative rate of 25% per year, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Upon the date a press release is issued announcing a pending shareholder vote, tender offer, or other transaction which, if approved and consummated, would constitute a change of control as defined in our Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Plan, stock options/SARs shall vest and be fully exercisable.

 
(e)

The grant date present value of each option/SAR grant is estimated using a Hull-White II Simulation Model. The assumptions used for the option/SAR grants awarded to Mr. Papa are a dividend yield of 0.3%, expected volatility of 34.1%, risk-free interest rate of 4.96% and a weighted average expected life of 4.67 years. Based on the Hull-White II Simulation Model, using the above assumptions, the value of options/SARs granted to Mr. Papa on September 20, 2006 is $20.3951 per share. The assumptions used for the SARs awarded to the other Named Officers are a dividend yield of 0.3%, expected volatility of 34.1%, risk-free interest rate of 4.96% and a weighted average expected life of 5.3 years. Based on the Hull-White II Simulation Model, using the above assumptions, the value of SARs granted to the other Named Officers on September 20, 2006 is $22.3687 per share. The actual value, if any, an optionee may realize will depend on the excess of our stock price over the exercise price on the date the option/SAR is exercised. The grant date fair value for the restricted stock units granted March 8, 2006 is $66.75 per share.

Employment Contracts

     Each of our Named Officers has entered into an employment agreement with us. The material terms are described below, other than the provisions regarding termination and compensation upon termination, which are described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” on page 21 of this Proxy Statement.

     Mr. Papa, under his employment agreement effective as of June 15, 2005, currently serves as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer at a minimum annual salary of $940,000 and a target annual bonus of 100% of his annual base salary. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the bonus may be paid in a combination of cash, stock options/SARs or restricted stock/units. The employment agreement expires on May 31, 2009, but will automatically be renewed annually for a one-year term unless we or Mr. Papa provides a 120-day notice of intent not to renew.

     Mr. Segner, under his employment agreement effective as of June 15, 2005, currently serves as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief of Staff at a minimum annual salary of $485,000 and a target annual bonus of 100% of his annual base salary. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the bonus may be paid in a combination of cash, stock options/SARs or restricted stock/units. The employment agreement expires on May 31, 2009, but will automatically be renewed annually for a one-year term unless we or Mr. Segner provides a 120-day notice of intent not to renew.

     Mr. Leiker, under his employment agreement effective as of June 15, 2005, currently serves as Senior Executive Vice President, Exploration at a minimum annual salary of $445,000 and a target annual bonus of 90% of his annual base salary. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the bonus may be paid in a combination of cash, stock options/SARs or restricted stock/units. The employment agreement expires on May 31, 2009, but will automatically be renewed annually for a one-year term unless we or Mr. Leiker provides a 120-day notice of intent not to renew.

16


     Mr. Thomas, under his employment agreement effective as of June 15, 2005, currently serves as Senior Executive Vice President, Operations at a minimum annual salary of $445,000 and a target annual bonus of 90% of his annual base salary. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the bonus may be paid in a combination of cash, stock options/SARs or restricted stock/units. The employment agreement expires on May 31, 2009, but will automatically be renewed annually for a one-year term unless we or Mr. Thomas provides a 120-day notice of intent not to renew.

     Mr. Hunsaker, under his employment agreement effective as of June 15, 2005, serves as Senior Vice President and General Counsel at a minimum annual salary of $366,000 and a target annual bonus of 60% of his annual base salary. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the bonus may be paid in a combination of cash, stock options/SARs or restricted stock/units. The employment agreement expires on May 31, 2009, but will automatically be renewed annually for a one-year term unless we or Mr. Hunsaker provides a 120-day notice of intent not to renew.

     Each Named Officer’s employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations and specifies that all information, ideas, discoveries and inventions developed or acquired by the officer during his employment at EOG are our sole and exclusive property. As part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits payable under the agreement, the agreement provides that the Named Officer shall not compete with the business of EOG for a period that extends until the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the employment agreement or b) one year after his employment is terminated, other than as a result of a voluntary termination by the Named Officer. If the Named Officer voluntarily terminates his employment during the term of his employment agreement, then his non-competition obligations extend for one year following the termination.

Material Terms of Plan Based Awards

     The vesting schedule of all restricted stock/units and stock options/SARs awarded to the Named Officers is described under footnotes (c) and (d) to the Grants of Plan Based Awards table above. In accordance with the terms of our 1992 Stock Plan, no dividends or other distributions will be paid on unvested shares of restricted stock/units, but the value of any dividends or distributions declared on our common stock will be credited by us for the account of the Named Officer (with no interest) with respect to those unvested shares. When a portion of the restricted stock/units vests, we will deliver the accumulated credits to the respective officer in either cash or the equivalent number of shares of our common stock. Credits for the value of dividends and distributions are forfeited under the same circumstances that the restricted stock/units are forfeited (please refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Elements of In-Service Compensation, Restricted Stock”, on page 11 of this Proxy Statement for a discussion of forfeiture). At no time during 2006 were any outstanding awards repriced or otherwise materially modified. There are no performance based or market based conditions applicable to any of the awards described above.

One hundred percent of such amount is reported in the salary column of the summary compensation table.

 
(b)      

Amounts included in this column do not include above-market or preferential earnings (of which there were none) and, accordingly, such amount is not included in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column of the Summary Compensation Table.

 
(c)      

The amount of the aggregate balance as of December 31, 2006 that has been contributed by the Named Officer and shown as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years for each of the Named Officers is: Mr. Papa, $861,375; Mr. Segner, $1,144,093; Mr. Leiker, $1,011,875; Mr. Thomas, $784,363; and Mr. Hunsaker, $501,480. The amount of the aggregate balance as of December 31, 2006 that has been contributed by EOG and shown as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years for each of the Named Officer is: Mr. Papa, $943,501; Mr. Segner, $458,396; Mr. Leiker, $329,887; Mr. Thomas, $355,314; and Mr. Hunsaker, $189,218.

     Under our 1996 Deferral Plan, each Named Officer can elect to defer up to 50% of his regular salary and/or up to 100% of the cash portion of his annual bonus payout. Deferral elections are irrevocable and must be made prior to the first day of the calendar year during which the compensation would be earned.

     Deferrals are invested into either the Flexible Deferral Account, in which deferrals are treated as if they had been invested into various investment funds as directed by the participant, in which returns vary based on the performance of the funds; or into the Phantom Stock Account, in which deferrals are treated as if they had purchased our common stock, including reinvestment of dividends.

     Participants in the deferral plan may elect a lump sum payout or annual installment payouts for up to 15 years following their separation from service, disability, or death. If a participant elected to defer funds into the Phantom Stock Account, distributions will be made in shares of our common stock. A participant may also elect to receive his account balance in a lump sum upon a change of control (as defined in the Deferral Plan).

     A participant may receive an in-service distribution in the following ways:

n  through a Special Deferral Account, under which distribution of all or a part of a participant’s account balance can be made over a period of one to five years beginning after the first anniversary of the election; or

 through a hardship distribution, in which the committee responsible for administering the plan (in its sole discretion) grants the participant’s request for a distribution based on unforeseeable circumstances causing urgent and severe financial hardship for the participant.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

     If a Named Officer is terminated other than as a result of a change of control, the terms of his employment agreement described below would govern any payments received. If a change of control occurs and a Named Officer is terminated, the terms of each officer’s Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreement, along with our Retention Bonus Plan described in “Payments Made Upon a Change of Control, Retention Bonus Plan” on page 26 of this Proxy Statement, govern any payments received. The tables below reflect the amount of compensation to be paid to each Named Officer in the event of his termination of employment as a result of each of the described circumstances. The amounts shown in the tables below assume that any termination was effective as of December 31, 2006 and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid upon termination. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of the officer’s actual termination.

Payments Made Upon Termination Under Employment Agreements

     Each Named Officer’s employment agreement is generally described in “Employment Contracts” on page 16 of this Proxy Statement. The following describes payments to be received under the employment agreements in the event of termination of employment for the specified reason. In each case, the officer shall remain entitled to receive any compensation and benefits earned and accrued as of the termination date and as provided in the applicable plan document or grant agreement.

     Involuntary Termination

     Under each employment agreement, the following constitute an “involuntary termination”:

n  termination at the discretion of the Board of Directors for any reason, other than for cause, prior to the expiration of the term of the agreement;

 termination by the officer as a result of a material breach of the agreement by EOG that remained uncorrected for 30 days.

The following amounts are payable in the event of each officer’s Involuntary Termination:

1.      

Mr. Papa. Mr. Papa would receive a severance benefit equal to the greater of a) the salary and annual bonus award he would have received from the date of termination through the end of the term of the employment agreement if his employment had continued or b) two times the sum of his then current annual base salary and his annual bonus award opportunity. He would also receive the value of unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights based on the difference between the average closing price of our common stock on the ten trading days prior to, but not including, the date of termination and the grant price.

 
2. Mr. Segner. Mr. Segner would receive a severance benefit equal to the greater of a) the salary and annual bonus award he would have received from the date of termination through the end of the term of the employment agreement if his employment had continued or b) two times the sum of his then current annual base salary and his annual bonus award opportunity. He would also receive the value of unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights based on the difference between the average closing price of our common stock on the ten trading days prior to, but not including, the date of termination and the grant price.
 
3. Mr. Leiker. Mr. Leiker would receive a severance benefit equal to the greater of a) the salary and annual bonus award he would have received from the date of termination through the end of the term of the employment agreement if his employment had continued or b) the sum of his then current annual base salary and his annual bonus award opportunity.
 
4. Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas would receive a severance benefit equal to the greater of a) the salary and annual bonus award he would have received from the date of termination through the end of the term of the employment agreement if his employment had continued or b) the sum of his then current annual base salary and his annual bonus award opportunity.
 

21


      5.      

Mr. Hunsaker. Mr. Hunsaker would receive a severance benefit equal to the greater of a) the salary and annual bonus award he would have received from the date of termination through the end of the term of the employment agreement if his employment had continued or b) the sum of his then current annual base salary and his annual bonus award opportunity.

     Voluntary Termination

     Each Named Officer has the right under his employment agreement to terminate the agreement prior to the end of the term for any reason. If the Named Officer chooses to voluntarily terminate his employment, he will be entitled only to salary and any other compensation and benefits earned and payable through the termination date. He will not be entitled to any bonus or other incentive compensation not yet paid as of the termination date.

     Cause

     If the Named Officer is terminated for cause, as determined by the Board of Directors, he will be entitled only to salary and any other compensation and benefits earned and payable through the termination date. He will not be entitled to any bonus or other incentive compensation not yet paid as of the termination date.

     Death or Incapacity

     If the Named Officer dies or becomes incapacitated, he or his estate will be entitled only to salary and benefits earned and payable through the termination date. He will not be entitled to any bonus or other incentive compensation not yet paid as of the termination date. He will also receive benefits in accordance with any of our applicable disability or life insurance plans to the same extent as any employee.

Payments Made Upon Retirement

     Normal Retirement

     Retirement is not addressed under the respective employment agreements. Thus, in the event a Named Officer retires after age 62, he would be entitled to the same benefits as any other retiring employee, including benefits under our plans described below under “Retirement Plans.” In addition, in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and grant agreements, upon any employee’s retirement after age 62,

      1)      

all restrictions on restricted stock and restricted stock units lapse and the shares are released as of the retirement date; and

 
2)

all unvested options/SARs become 100% vested on the date of retirement.

     Early Retirement

     Early retirement is not addressed under the respective employment agreements. Thus, in the event a Named Officer chooses to retire prior to age 62 and the retirement is designated in writing by us as a “Company-approved retirement prior to age 62”, he would be entitled to the same benefits as any other employee whose retirement was designated as a “Company-approved retirement prior to age 62,” including benefits under our plans described below under “Retirement Plans”. Each Named Officer is eligible for early retirement upon reaching the age of 55 and completing 5 years of service with EOG. In order to be designated a “Company-approved retirement prior to age 62”, the employee must agree to enter into a six-month non-competition agreement with us. In addition to benefits under the plans described below, in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and grant agreements, upon any employee’s Company-approved retirement prior to age 62,

      1)      

restrictions will lapse six months following the effective date of the Company-approved retirement on 100% of restricted stock/units granted prior to February 23, 2005,

22


      2)      

for grants made on or after February 23, 2005, restrictions will lapse six months following the effective date of the Company-approved retirement on 20% of the restricted stock/units for each whole year that has passed since the grant date, and

 
3)

all unvested options become 100% vested six months following the effective date of the Company- approved retirement,

     in each case, provided that all provisions of the employee’s non-competition agreement are satisfied.

     In the event a Named Officer elected retirement or early retirement prior to the expiration of the term of his employment agreement, it would be considered a “Voluntary Termination” under his employment agreement. In the event of a “Voluntary Termination,” the officer’s non-competition obligations under his employment agreement will extend for one year following the date of the termination. In accordance with our policy on Company-approved retirement prior to age 62, the officer will receive the benefits described above upon the satisfaction of the six-month non-competition agreement entered into at the time of early retirement, but will remain subject to the full term of the non-compete provision of his employment agreement.

     Retirement Plans

     We maintain a Savings Plan that qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Code, under which we currently match 100% of employees’ pre-tax contributions up to 6% of annual base salary, subject to statutory limits. We also maintain a Money Purchase Pension Plan that qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Code, under which we contribute from 3% to 9% of an employee’s annual base salary and bonus, depending on the employee’s age and years of service, subject to statutory limits. The contribution percentage for each of the Named Officers is 9%. In addition, we may provide Make Whole Contributions into the 1996 Deferral Plan.

No additional compensation is paid if the Named Officer is terminated for cause. In accordance with our vacation policy, each Named Officer would receive the value of his unused vacation as of December 31, 2006.

 
(b)

In accordance with our 1992 Stock Plan and the related grant agreements, upon death or disability, 100% of unvested options/SARs will vest and all restrictions on unvested restricted stock/units will lapse.

(c)

The amounts presented under Stock Awards represent the value of unvested restricted stock/units to which the Named Officer would be entitled upon an involuntary termination as of December 31, 2006 under the terms of the 1992 Stock Plan and the related grant agreements. Upon involuntary termination, 100% of restricted stock/units granted prior to February 23, 2005 will vest, and 20% of restricted stock/units will vest for each whole year that has passed since the grant date for grants made on or after February 23, 2005.

(e)

None of the Named Officers were of normal retirement age as of December 31, 2006.

 
(f)

In order to be designated a “Company-approved retirement prior to age 62,” the employee must agree to enter into a six-month non-competition agreement. Upon satisfactory completion of the six-month non-competition period, 100% of unvested options/SARs will vest, 100% of restricted stock/units granted prior

24


to February 23, 2005 will vest, and 20% of restricted stock/units will vest for each whole year that has passed since the grant date for grants made on or after February 23, 2005. The above presentation assumes that 1) all unvested options/SARs vest and 2) the officer becomes entitled to all shares of restricted stock/units to which he would be entitled under his grant agreement as of December 31, 2006. However, for any grants made after August 8, 2000 (the date upon which we began requiring a six-month non-competition agreement in connection with early retirement), the actual value of any options/SARs and restricted stock/units will be subject to market risk during the six-month term of the non-competition agreement. The number of options/ SARs that will vest for each of the Named Officers that are age 55 or greater is as follows: Mr. Papa, 518,750; Mr. Thomas, 216,250; and Mr. Hunsaker, 68,500. The number of restricted stock/units that will vest for each of the Named officers that are age 55 or greater is as follows: Mr. Papa, 355,594; Mr. Thomas, 56,824; and Mr. Hunsaker, 28,226. Mr. Segner and Mr. Leiker were not eligible for early retirement as of December 31, 2006.

Payments Made Upon a Change of Control

     In the event of a change of control, each Named Officer is entitled to benefits under the following plans and agreements. In addition to the payments described below, in each circumstance upon the announcement of a change of control and in accordance with the applicable plans and grant agreements, 100% of outstanding stock options/SARs will vest and all restrictions on restricted stock/units will lapse (as more fully described in the footnotes to the “Grants of Plan Based Awards Table” on page 15 of this Proxy Statement).

     Change of Control Agreements

     On June 15, 2005, each Named Officer entered into an Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreement, which supersedes his Employment Agreement upon a change of control. Change of control is defined as:

      1.      

The acquisition by any person of 20% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of our common stock or (B) the combined voting power of our then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; provided, however, that the following acquisitions will not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from us, (ii) any acquisition by us, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored by us or our affiliate, (iv) any acquisition by any corporation that complies with subclauses (A), (B) and (C) of clause (3) below or (v) an acquisition by a Qualified Institutional Investor (as defined in the agreement);

 
2.

Individuals who constituted the Board of Directors of EOG as of May 3, 2005 ceasing for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board (except in certain circumstances);

 
3.

Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or the acquisition of the assets or stock of another entity (Business Combination), other than a Business Combination (A) which would result in our voting securities outstanding immediately prior to the merger continuing to represent at least 60% of the voting power of our securities outstanding immediately after the Business Combination, (B) in which no person is or becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of our Board of Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board of Directors providing for such Business Combination; or

 
4.

Approval by our shareholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution.

Under the change of control agreements, if a Named Officer’s employment is terminated:

      1.      

by the acquiring company for any reason following a change of control (other than for cause or by reason of death or disability),

 

25


 
       2.       

by the officer under circumstances defined in the agreement as “good reason,” or

 
3.

by the officer for any reason during the 30 day period beginning six months after a change of control; then, the officer will receive:

 
a)

a minimum severance benefit of 2.99 times his annual base salary plus two times his target annual bonus, each as in effect prior to the change of control or if increased, on the date of termination, whichever is greater;

 
b)

the Money Purchase Pension Plan contributions and Savings Plan matching amounts that would have been made if the officer had continued to be employed for three years,

 
       c)       

uninterrupted participation for three years in our medical and dental plans,

 
d)

three years age and service credit for eligibility for our retiree medical coverage,

 
e)

outplacement services not to exceed $50,000, and

 
f)

reimbursement for any excise tax, interest and penalties incurred if payments or benefits received due to a change of control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

     If a Named Officer is terminated following a change of control for cause or as a result of death, disability or retirement, the officer will be entitled only to salary and any other compensation and benefits earned and payable through the termination date.

     Retention Bonus Plan

     In order to ensure continuity of operations in the event of a change of control, as defined above, a retention bonus plan would become effective and applicable to all eligible employees, including our Named Officers. To be eligible to receive the retention bonus, an employee must remain employed by us through the effective date of the change of control and be employed by the acquiring company 180 days after the effective date of the change of control, or be involuntarily terminated by the acquiring company on or within 180 days after the effective date. Eligible employees would receive a bonus equal to the most recent bonus they had received under our annual bonus program, payable upon the earlier of 180 days after the effective date of the change of control or upon severance.

(a)      

We engaged Ernst & Young (E&Y) to determine if any portion of the payments described in the “Termination Resulting from Change of Control Table” could potentially be subject to excise tax for purposes of the Code §§ 280G and 4999. Based on the information provided by us and the calculations performed by E&Y, none of the Named Officers were over their respective safe harbor amounts, as defined in the Code §280G, thus none of the payments are subject to excise tax and no reimbursements are required.

27


(b)      

and (c) Upon the date a press release is issued announcing a pending shareholder vote, tender offer, or other transaction which, if approved and consummated, would constitute a change of control, unvested options vest 100% and all restrictions placed on unvested restricted stock/units lapse, regardless of whether the officer is terminated for any reason or continues to be employed. The amounts presented represent the value of each Named Officer’s unvested options/SARs and restricted stock/units as of December 31, 2006.

 
(d)

Health Benefits include the estimated value of 1) three years participation in our medical and dental plan, based on each officer’s elections as of December 31, 2006 and 2) three years age and service credit under our retiree medical insurance coverage.

 
(e) All other includes 1) the estimated value of Money Purchase Pension Plan contributions and Savings Plan matching contributions had the officer continued to be employed for three years based on the contribution rates as of December 31, 2006, 2) $50,000 in outplacement services and 3) the value of unused vacation as of December 31, 2006.

____________________
(a)      

Nonemployee directors can defer fees to a later specified date by participating in the 1996 Deferral Plan. Under the 1996 Deferral Plan, deferrals are invested into either a Flexible Deferral Account in which deferrals are treated as if they had been invested into various investment funds or into a Phantom Stock Account in which deferrals are treated as if they had purchased our Common Stock including reinvestment of dividends. In 2006, five of the nonemployee directors participated in the 1996 Deferral Plan.

 
(b)

Nonemployee directors participate in the Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 1993 Nonemployee Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Stock Option Plan), which was approved by our shareholders at the 2002 annual meeting. Under the terms of the Directors Stock Option Plan, each nonemployee director receives on the date of each annual meeting options to purchase 14,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. In addition, each nonemployee director who is elected or appointed to the Board of Directors for the first time after an annual meeting is granted, on the date of such election or appointment, options to purchase 14,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the Directors Stock Option Plan vest 50% after one year and 100% after two years of service as a director following the date of grant. All options expire ten years from the date of grant. The grant date present value of each option grant is estimated using a Hull-White II Simulation Model assuming a dividend yield of 0.3%, expected volatility of 34.9%, risk-free interest rate of 5.1% and a weighted average expected life of 3.5 years. Based on the Hull-White II Simulation Model, using the above assumptions, the value of the options granted on May 2, 2006 is $23.48 per share. The value of the options granted on May 3, 2005 is $14.61 per share. The value of the options granted on July 2, 2004 is $9.15 per share. The value of the options granted on May 4, 2004 is $9.08 per share. Following is the aggregate number of options outstanding as of December 31, 2006 for each nonemployee director: Mr. Alcorn, 49,000 options; Mr. Crisp, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Steward, 42,000 options each; Mr. Textor, 21,000 options; and Mr. Wisner, 112,000 options.

   
(c)

All Other Compensation for Mr. Alcorn, Mr. Crisp and Mr. Steward consists solely of reimbursement for EOG requested spouse travel. All Other Compensation for Mr. Textor consists solely of charitable matching contributions made by us.

29


     Our directors receive a quarterly retainer of $20,000. There are no per-meeting or chairmanship fees paid to any director. The terms and number of options granted to our directors are described in footnote (b) to the Director Compensation Table. Directors can participate in our Matching Gifts Program to the same extent as any employee.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     There were no transactions in 2006 between us and any related person in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

     We have not adopted specific procedures for review of, or standards for approval of, transactions with related persons, but instead review such transactions on a case by case basis. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics prohibits transactions which may constitute a conflict of interest, except under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Any waiver of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in favor of directors or executive officers requires Board of Director’s approval and reporting under applicable SEC and stock exchange regulations.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership concerning our common stock with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon our review of the Section 16(a) filings that have been received by us, we believe that all filings required to be made under Section 16(a) during 2006 were timely made except for the following. H. Leighton Steward, one of our directors, was late in reporting nine purchases and one sale of our common stock in 2006. Four purchases represented reinvestments of dividends pursuant to a broker directed dividend reinvestment plan (approximately 6 total shares) and five were purchases based on one order which the broker spread out over an eleven day period. Mr. Steward filed a Form 5 on January 24, 2007 reporting all the transactions. Mr. Steward was also late in reporting one purchase of our common stock in January 2007. Mr. Steward filed a Form 4 on January 24, 2007 to report the transaction.

ITEM 1.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     At the Annual Meeting, eight directors are to be elected to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. All of the nominees are our current directors. As a result of George Alcorn having attained the age of 74, the Board of Directors, in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, has specifically approved his standing for reelection. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named on the enclosed form of proxy. A majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy by the holders of our common stock is required to elect a director. Accordingly, under Delaware law, abstentions and broker non-votes (which occur if a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a particular item) would not have the same effect as a vote withheld with respect to a particular director. Shareholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

     It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such proxy “FOR” the election of the nominees named herein. Should any nominee become unavailable for election, discretionary authority is conferred to vote for a substitute.

ITEM 2.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

General

     During fiscal years 2006 and 2005, we retained our principal auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte), independent public accountants, to provide services in the following categories and amounts: Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Deloitte for the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q for such fiscal years were $1,769,252 and $1,310,183, respectively.

     Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 for assurance and related services rendered by Deloitte that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements but not reportable as Audit Fees were $74,789 and $74,785, respectively. Audit-Related Fees in 2006 and 2005 were primarily for our benefit plan audits.

     Tax Fees. There were no professional services rendered by Deloitte for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

     All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Deloitte not reportable as Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees or Tax Fees for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $78,860 and $59,405, respectively. All Other Fees in 2006 and 2005 primarily relate to software license renewals and conference registration fees. None of these services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

     Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services. The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided to us by our independent auditors at the first meeting of each calendar year and at subsequent meetings as necessary. The non-audit services to be provided are specified and shall not exceed a specified dollar limit. During the course of a fiscal year, if additional non-audit services are identified, these services are presented to the Audit Committee for pre-approval. Management is directed to provide a report to the Audit Committee at each meeting of the Audit Committee during the remainder of the calendar year, showing in reasonable detail the services provided by the independent auditors to us since the first day of the calendar year, as well as the estimated cost to date of audit and non-audit services. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to approve non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us under the de minimis exception of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Ratification of Appointment for 2007

     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors appointed Deloitte to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2007.

     Ratification of this appointment shall be effective upon receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, under Delaware law and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, abstentions would have the same legal effect as a vote against this proposal, but a broker non-vote would not be counted for purposes of determining whether a majority had been achieved.

     In the event the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider the appointment of other independent auditors. A representative of Deloitte is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to make a statement if such representative desires to do so and to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors recommends voting “FOR” this proposal.
