1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


General. The condensed consolidated financial statements of EOG Resources, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, EOG), included herein have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included either on the face of the financial statements or in these notes are sufficient to make the interim information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed on February 27,26, 2019 (EOG's 2018 (EOG's 2017 Annual Report).


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Effective January 1, 2018,2019, EOG adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 and other related ASUs require entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. EOG elected to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach, which required EOG to recognize in retained earnings the cumulative effect at the date of adoption for all existing contracts with customers which were not substantially complete as of January 1, 2018. There was no impact to retained earnings upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.

EOG presents disaggregated revenues by type of commodity within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and by geographic areas defined as operating segments. See Note 5.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2014-09, EOG presents natural gas processing fees relating to certain processing and marketing agreements within its United States segment as Gathering and Processing Costs, instead of as a deduction to Revenues within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. There was no impact to operating income, net income or cash flows resulting from changes to the presentation of natural gas processing fees. The impacts of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were as follows (in thousands):

Revenues are recognized for the sale of crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas at the point control of the product is transferred to the customer, typically when production is delivered and title or risk of loss transfers to the customer. Arrangements for such sales are evidenced by signed contracts with prices typically based on stated market indices, with certain adjustments for product quality and geographic location. As EOG typically invoices customers shortly after performance obligations have been fulfilled, contract assets and contract liabilities are not recognized. The balances of accounts receivable from contracts with customers on January 1, 2018 and September 30, 2018, were $1,343 million and $1,812 million, respectively, and are included in Accounts Receivable, Net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Losses incurred on receivables from contracts with customers are infrequent and have been immaterial.

Crude Oil and Condensate. EOG sells its crude oil and condensate production at the wellhead or further downstream at a contractually-specified delivery point. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer based on contract terms which reflect prevailing market prices. Any costs incurred prior to the transfer of control, such as gathering and transportation, are recognized as Operating Expenses.

Natural Gas Liquids. EOG delivers certain of its natural gas production to either EOG-owned processing facilities or third-party processing facilities, where extraction of NGLs occurs. For EOG-owned facilities, revenue is recognized after processing upon transfer of NGLs to a customer. For third-party facilities, extracted NGLs are sold to the owner of the processing facility at the tailgate, or EOG takes possession and sells the extracted NGLs at the tailgate or exercises its option to sell further downstream to various customers. Under typical arrangements for third-party facilities, revenue is recognized after processing upon the transfer of control of the NGLs, either at the tailgate of the processing plant or further downstream. EOG recognizes revenues based on contract terms which reflect prevailing market prices, with processing fees recognized as Gathering and Processing Costs.

Natural Gas. EOG sells its natural gas production either at the wellhead or further downstream at a contractually-specified delivery point. In connection with the extraction of NGLs, EOG sells residue gas under separate agreements. Typically, EOG takes possession of the natural gas at the tailgate of the processing facility and sells it at the tailgate or further downstream. In each case, EOG recognizes revenues when control transfers to the customer, based on contract terms which reflect prevailing market prices.

Gathering, Processing and Marketing. Gathering, processing and marketing revenues represent sales of third-party crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas, as well as fees associated with gathering and processing third-party natural gas and revenues from sales of EOG-owned sand. EOG evaluates whether it is the principal or agent under these transactions. As control of the underlying commodity is transferred to EOG prior to the gathering, processing and marketing activities, EOG considers itself the principal of these arrangements. Accordingly, EOG recognizes these transactions on a gross basis. Purchases of third-party commodities are recorded as Marketing Costs, with sales of third-party commodities and fees received for gathering and processing recorded as Gathering, Processing and Marketing revenues.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118" (ASU 2018-05). In December 2017, the United States (U.S.) enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law. Shortly after enactment of the TCJA, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the TCJA. ASU 2018-05 codified various paragraphs of SAB 118 and was effective upon issuance. Under SAB 118, an entity would use a similar approach as the measurement period provided in the Business Combinations Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). An entity will recognize those matters for which the accounting can be completed. For matters that have not been completed, the entity would either (1) recognize provisional amounts to the extent that they are reasonably able to be estimated and adjust them over time as more information becomes available or (2) for any specific income tax effects of the TCJA for which a reasonable estimate cannot be determined, continue to apply the Income Taxes Topic of the ASC on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the TCJA was signed into law. EOG has prepared its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 in accordance with ASU 2018-05. As discussed in EOG’s 2017 Annual Report, provisional amounts were recorded for tax accruals of certain aspects of the TCJA. EOG has updated and finalized the 2017 U.S. federal provisional amounts. The 2017 state provisional amounts will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2018.

During the third quarter of 2018, EOG filed its consolidated 2017 U.S. federal income tax return, along with certain tax elections, and finalized its foreign earnings and profits study. The deemed repatriation tax decreased from the provisional amount of $179 million to $40 million mostly as a result of reducing the repatriation taxable income by net operating losses (NOLs), which had previously been expected to be utilized in future years. EOG is no longer electing to pay the repatriation tax in installments over eight years after considering recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance which indicated that no tax refunds would be issued until the entire repatriation tax liability is satisfied regardless of an installment election. EOG has reviewed the tax consequences of the repatriation tax on its outside basis differences in its investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries and has confirmed that no U.S. federal deferred tax liability is required at this time.

EOG has analyzed the impact of the new "global intangible low-taxed income" (GILTI) inclusion and, while no taxable income inclusion is required in 2018, EOG may become subject to GILTI inclusion in future years and will treat any resulting tax as a period expense.

The remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities resulted in a provisional tax benefit of $2.2 billion in 2017, which was increased by approximately $52 million in the third quarter of 2018 due to the utilization of the aforementioned NOLs at the 2017 U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 35% instead of the future tax rate of 21%. This additional tax benefit along with other less significant tax reform adjustments has lowered the 2018 year-to-date effective tax rate approximately two percentage points.

EOG recorded a provisional amount in 2017 for its refundable alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits due to the lack of guidance, at that time, on whether any portion of these credits would be sequestered due to a federal budgetary provision. In the first quarter of 2018, the IRS affirmed that any refundable AMT credits resulting from the TCJA would be subject to sequestration. EOG does not expect further clarification from the IRS or Office of Management and Budget and therefore considers the accounting for sequestration on its refundable AMT credits complete.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), which significantly changes accounting for leases by requiring. ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs require that lessees recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a related lease liability, representing the obligation to make lease payments for certain lease transactions. Additional disclosures about an entity's lease transactions, will also be required. ASU 2016-02 defines a lease as "a contract, or part of a contract, that conveyson the rightCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclose additional leasing information.

EOG elected to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration." In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842) - Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842" (ASU 2018-01), which permits an entity an optional election to not evaluate under ASU 2016-02 those existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements” (ASU 2018-11), which permits an entity (i) to apply the provisions of ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date instead of the earliest period presented in the financial statements, and, as a lessor, (ii) to account for lease and nonlease components as a single component as the nonlease components would otherwise be accounted for under the provisions of ASU 2014-09.adopt ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and early application is permitted. Based onusing the provisions of ASU 2018-11 and other related ASUs, lessees and lessors may recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements, defined as the effective date, using a modified retrospective approach or at the adoption date by recognizingwith a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

EOG is continuing its assessmentearnings as of ASU 2016-02 by implementing its project plan, including a lease accounting software solution. EOG has assessed the scope of its current contractual arrangements, reviewed the majority of its existing contracts and is continuingeffective date. Financial results reported in periods prior to evaluate certain operational and corporate policies and processes in light of these findings. EOG enters into contracts for drilling rig services, fracturing services, compression, real estate and other contracts which contain equipment and other assets used in its exploration, development and production activities and corporate functions. Certain of these contracts are anticipated to require recognition of a right-of-use asset and related lease liability. At this time, the impact upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs is not quantifiable, but is expected to significantly impact EOG’s consolidated balance sheet by increasing assets and liabilities related to operating leases. EOG plans to elect the practical expedient under ASU 2018-11 and apply the provisions of ASU 2016-02 on the adoption date, January 1, 2019.2019, are unchanged. Additionally, EOG plans to electelected the package of practical expedients within ASU 2016-02 that allows an entity to not reassess prior to the effective date (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases, but doesdid not plan to elect the practical expedient of hindsight when determining the lease term of existing contracts at the effective date. EOG also plans to electelected the practical expedient under ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842) - Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842," and did not evaluate existing or expired land easements not previously accounted for as leases prior to the January 1, 2019 effective date. There was no impact to retained earnings upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and other related ASUs. See Note 14.


2.Stock-Based Compensation


As more fully discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 20172018 Annual Report, EOG maintains various stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based upon the job function of the employees receiving the grants as follows (in millions):

Stock Options and Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of stock option grants and SAR grants is estimated using the Hull-White II binomial option pricing model. The fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $21.7$20.4 million and $20.9$21.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and $45.4$47.8 million and $42.9$45.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.


Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value stock option, SAR and ESPP grants during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 are as follows:

Advances under the AgreementNew Facility will accrue interest based, at EOG'sEOG’s option, on either the London InterBank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate)Rate) or the base rateBase Rate (as defined in the Agreement)New Facility) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees will be based on EOG’s credit rating for its senior unsecured long-term debt at the applicable time.

Consistent with the terms of the 2015 Facility, the New Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that we believe are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a ratio of total debt-to-total capitalization (as such terms are defined in the New Facility) of no greater than 65%. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there2019, EOG was in compliance with this financial covenant.

There were no0 borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Agreement.2015 Facility as of (i) December 31, 2018 or (ii) the June 27, 2019 effective date of the closing of the New Facility and termination of the 2015 Facility. Further, at September 30, 2019, there were 0 borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the New Facility. The Eurodollar rateRate and Base Rate (inclusive of the applicable base rate,margin), had there been any amounts borrowed under the AgreementNew Facility at September 30, 2018,2019, would have been 3.16%2.92% and 5.25%5.0%, respectively.

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


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


Proved oil and gas properties and other assets with a carrying amount of $165$472 million were written down to their fair value of $131$340 million, resulting in pretax impairment charges of $34$132 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. Included in the $34$132 million pretax impairment charges are $21$89 million for a commodity price-related write-down of other assets.


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


Fair Value of Debt.At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, EOG had outstanding $6,390$5,140 million and $6,040 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which had estimated fair values at such dates of approximately $6,400$5,453 million and $6,602$6,027 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was based upon quoted market prices and, where such prices were not available, other observable (Level 2) inputs regarding interest rates available to EOG at the end of each respective period.

12.Risk Management Activities


Commodity Price Risk. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 20172018 Annual Report, EOG engages in price risk management activities from time to time. These activities are intended to manage EOG's exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. EOG has not designated any of its financial commodity derivative contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.


Commodity Derivative Contracts. Prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) West Texas Intermediate prices due to adjustments for delivery location (basis) and other factors. EOG has entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma (Midland Differential). Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's Midland Differential basis swap contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. The weighted average price differential expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl) represents the amount of reduction to Cushing, Oklahoma, prices for the notional volumes expressed in barrels per day (Bbld) covered by the basis swap contracts.

EOG has sold call options which establish a ceiling price for the sale of notional volumes of natural gas as specified in the call option contracts. The call options require that EOG pay the difference between the call option strike price and either the average or last business day NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price for the contract month (Henry Hub Index Price) in the event the Henry Hub Index Price is above the call option strike price.

In addition, EOG has purchased put options which establish a floor price for the sale of notional volumes of natural gas as specified in the put option contracts. The put options grant EOG the right to receive the difference between the put option strike price and the Henry Hub Index Price in the event the Henry Hub Index Price is below the put option strike price.

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


All of EOG's derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (ISDAs) with counterparties. The ISDAs may contain provisions that require EOG, if it is the party in a net liability position, to post collateral when the amount of the net liability exceeds the threshold level specified for EOG's then-current credit ratings. In addition, the ISDAs may also provide that as a result of certain circumstances, including certain events that cause EOG's credit ratings to become materially weaker than its then-current ratings, the counterparty may require all outstanding derivatives under the ISDAs to be settled immediately. See Note 11 for the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments that were in a net liabilityasset position at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. EOG had no0 collateral posted andor held no collateral at September 30, 2018 and2019, or at December 31, 2017.2018.


13.  Acquisitions and Divestitures


During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, EOG paid cash for property acquisitions of $311 million in the United States. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, EOG recognized net gains on asset dispositions of $4 million and received proceeds of approximately $35 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, EOG recognized a net gaingains on asset dispositions of $95 million, primarily due to non-cash property exchanges of unproved leasehold in Texas, New Mexico and Wyoming and received proceeds of approximately $12 million. Additionally,

14. Leases

In the ordinary course of business, EOG enters into contracts for drilling, fracturing, compression, real estate and other services which contain equipment and other assets and that meet the definition of a lease under ASU 2016-02. The lease term for these contracts, which includes any renewals at EOG's option that are reasonably certain to be exercised, ranges from one month to 30 years. ROU assets and related liabilities are recognized on commencement date on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on future lease payments, discounted based on the rate implicit in the third quartercontract, if readily determinable, or EOG's incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term of 2018, EOG's wholly-owned subsidiary signedthe contract. EOG estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the approximate rate required to borrow on a share purchasecollateralized basis. Contracts with lease terms of less than 12 months are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but instead are disclosed as short-term lease cost.

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

Lease costs are classified by the function of the ROU asset. The lease costs related to exploration and development activities are initially included in the Oil and Gas Properties line on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently accounted for in accordance with the Extractive Industries - Oil and Gas Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. Variable lease cost represents costs incurred above the contractual minimum payments for operating and finance leases. The components of lease cost for the sale of all of its interest in EOG Resources United Kingdom Limited, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


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


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


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


Crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas prices have been volatile, and this volatility is expected to continue. As a result of the many uncertainties associated with the world political environment, worldwide supplies of, and demand for, crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas and the availability of other energy supplies, EOG is unable to predict what changes may occur in crude oil and condensate, NGLs, and natural gas prices in the future. The market prices of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas in 20182019 will continue to impact the amount of cash generated from EOG's operating activities, which will in turn impact EOG's financial position and results of operations. For the first nine months of 2018,2019, the average U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil and natural gas prices were $66.79$57.06 per barrel and $2.86$2.66 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, representing an increasedecreases of 35%15% and a decrease of 8%7%, respectively, from the average NYMEX prices for the same period in 2017.2018. Market prices for NGLs are influenced by crude oil prices and the composition of NGL production, including ethane, propane and butane, among others. Based on its 20182019 drilling and completion plans, EOG expects 2018both its 2019 total production and total crude oil production to increase as compared to 2017.2018.


During the first nine months of 2018,2019, EOG continued to focus on increasing drilling, completion and operating efficiencies gained in prior years. In addition, EOG continued to evaluate certain potential crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas exploration and development prospects and to look for opportunities to add drilling inventory through leasehold acquisitions, farm-ins, exchanges or tactical acquisitions. On a volumetric basis, as calculated using the ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or NGLs to 6.0 thousand cubic feet of natural gas, crude oil and condensate and NGL production accounted for approximately 77% of EOG's United States production during both the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, and 2017.respectively. During the first nine months of 2018,2019, EOG's drilling and completion activities occurred primarily in the Eagle Ford play, Delaware Basin play and Rocky Mountain area. EOG's major producing areas in the United States are in New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas and Wyoming.


Trinidad. In Trinidad, EOG continues to deliver natural gas and crude oil and condensate under existing supply contracts. Several fields in the South East Coast Consortium (SECC) Block, Modified U(a) Block, Block 4(a), Modified U(b) Block, the Banyan Field and the Sercan Area have been developed and are producing natural gas which is sold to the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited and its subsidiary, (NGC), and crude oil and condensate which is sold to theHeritage Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited. EOG has completed seismic surveys in the SECC Block and will continue to process that data through the remainder of 2018.




Other International. In the United Kingdom, EOG produces crude oil from its 100% working interest East Irish Sea Conwy Development project. In the third quarter of 2018, EOG's wholly-owned subsidiary signed a share purchase and sale agreement for2019, EOG drilled two net wells, one of which was an unsuccessful exploratory well. During the saleremainder of all of its interest in2019, EOG Resources United Kingdom Limited, which is expectedplans to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.drill two additional net wells.


Other International. In the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan Province, China, EOG constructed a new gas gathering line and completed the last previously-drilled well of a 2017 five-well development programdrilled two wells in the Bajiaochang Field. Thefirst nine months of 2019 to complete the drilling program started in 2018. Additionally, EOG completed two drilled uncompleted wells from 2018 in 2019. All natural gas produced from the BajiaochangBaijaochang Field is sold under a long-term contract to PetroChina Company Limited. EOG commenced a seven-well drilling program during the third quarter of 2018 and completed one of these wells in October 2018. This drilling program is expected to continue.PetroChina.





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


Capital Structure. One of management's key strategies is to maintain a strong balance sheet with a consistently below average debt-to-total capitalization ratio as compared to those in EOG's peer group. EOG's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 26%20% at September 30, 20182019 and 28%24% at December 31, 2017.2018. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.


On October 1, 2018,June 3, 2019, EOG repaid upon maturity the $350$900 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.875%5.625% Senior Notes due 2018.2019.


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

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

Total anticipated 20182019 capital expenditures are estimated to range from approximately $5.8$6.2 billion to $6.0$6.4 billion, excluding acquisitions and non-cash transactions. The majority of 20182019 expenditures will be focused on United States crude oil drilling activities. EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives, including borrowings under its commercial paper program, and other uncommitted credit facilities, bank borrowings, borrowings under its $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility described above, joint development agreements and similar arrangementsagreements and equity and debt offerings.


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

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the third quarter of 2018 increased $1,2042019 decreased $236 million, or 83%9%, to $2,655$2,419 million from $1,451$2,655 million for the same period of 20172018. The increasedecrease was due to a higherlower composite wellhead crude oil and condensateaverage price ($819550 million) and, partially offset by an increase of 8749 MBbld, or 27%12%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($385314 million). Increased production was primarily due to increases in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the third quarter of 2018 increased 45%2019 decreased 19% to $69.55$56.66 per barrel compared to $48.11$69.55 per barrel for the same period of 20172018.


NGL revenues for the third quarter of 2018 increased $1742019 decreased $189 million, or 96%53%, to $354$165 million from $180$354 million for the same period of 20172018 due to a higherlower composite average price ($91226 million) and, partially offset by an increase of 4014 MBbld, or 46%11%, in production ($8337 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford.Basin. EOG's composite NGL price for the third quarter of 2018 increased 34%2019 decreased 58% to $30.09$12.67 per barrel compared to $22.38$30.09 per barrel for the same period of 2017.2018.


Wellhead natural gas revenues for the third quarter of 2018 increased $922019 decreased $42 million, or 41%14%, to $312$270 million from $220$312 million for the same period of 20172018. The increasedecrease was due to a higherlower average composite wellhead natural gas price ($6376 million) and, partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries ($2834 million). Natural gas deliveries for the third quarter of 20182019 increased 140137 MMcfd, or 13%11%, compared to the same period of 20172018 due primarily to higher deliveries in the United States primarily resulting from increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford and higher natural gas volumes from the Marcellus Shale,in South Texas, partially offset by lower natural gas deliveriesvolumes in Trinidad.the Marcellus Shale. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the third quarter of 2018 increased 25%2019 decreased 22% to $2.74$2.13 per Mcf compared to $2.19$2.74 per Mcf for the same period of 20172018. This increase in composite wellhead natural gas prices includes a positive revenue adjustment of $0.49 per Mcf related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.


During the third quarter of 20182019, EOG recognized net lossesgains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $52$86 million compared to $7net losses of $52 million for the same period of 20172018. During the third quarter of 2018,2019, net cash paid forreceived from settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $92$108 million compared to net cash receivedpaid of $2$92 million for the same period of 2017.2018.


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


Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the third quarter of 2018 increased2019 decreased $43 million as compared to the same period of 20172018 primarily due to higherlower margins on crude oil marketing activities, partially offset by higher margins on natural gas marketing activities.


Operating and Other Expenses.For the third quarter of 2018,2019, operating expenses of $3,275$3,475 million were $845$200 million higher than the $2,430$3,275 million incurred during the third quarter of 2017.2018.  The following table presents the costs per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017:2018:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, DD&A, G&A and net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to the same period of 2017,2018, are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.


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


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


Lease and well expenses of $322$349 million for the third quarter of 20182019 increased $70$27 million from $252$322 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs ($44 million), workover expenditures ($1933 million) and lease and well administrative expenses ($149 million), all in the United States, partially offset by decreased operating and maintenance costsworkover expenditures in the United KingdomStates ($69 million). Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.

Transportation costs represent costs associated with the delivery of hydrocarbon products from the lease to a downstream point of sale. Transportation costs include transportation fees, the cost of compression (the cost of compressing natural gas to meet pipeline pressure requirements), the cost of dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees and fuel costs.

Transportation costs of $196 million for the third quarter of 2018 increased $12 million from $184 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs in the Permian Basin ($33 million), partially offset by decreased transportation costs in the Barnett Shale ($11 million), the Rocky Mountain area ($5 million) and the Eagle Ford ($4 million).


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


DD&A expenses for the third quarter of 20182019 increased $72$36 million to $918$954 million from $846$918 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the third quarter of 20182019 were $70$58 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects increased production in the United States ($224109 million), partially offset by decreasedlower unit rates in the United States ($15542 million). DD&A unitUnit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions and reserves added at lower costcosts as a result of increased efficiencies from drilling and completions operations.efficiencies.


Interest expense, netG&A expenses of $64$136 million for the third quarter of 20182019 increased $25 million from $111 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased employee-related and information systems costs resulting from expanded operations.

Interest expense, net of $40 million for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $5$24 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to repayment in September 2017June 2019 of the $600$900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875%5.625% Senior Notes due 2017.2019 ($13 million), repayment in October 2018 of the $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 ($6 million) and higher capitalized interest ($4 million).


Gathering and processing costs represent operating and maintenance expenses and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's gathering and processing assets and, beginning January 1, 2018,as well as natural gas processing fees and certain NGL fractionation fees from third parties. EOG pays third parties to process a portionthe majority of its natural gas production to extract NGLs. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion related to EOG's adoption of ASU 2014-09.


Gathering and processing costs increased $81$14 million to $114$128 million for the third quarter of 20182019 compared to $33$114 million for the same prior year period primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 ($57 million) and increased operating costs and fees in the United Kingdom ($21 million) and the Permian Basin ($713 million) and the Eagle Ford ($5 million), partially offset by decreased operating costs in the Barnett ShaleUnited Kingdom ($7 million).million ) due to the sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.


    






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


Impairments of $45$105 million for the third quarter of 20182019 were $9$61 million lowerhigher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to decreasedincreased impairments of proved properties in the United States ($40 million), and increased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($21 million), which waswere caused by a decreasean increase in EOG's estimates of undeveloped properties not expected to be developed before lease expiration. EOG recorded impairments of proved properties, other property, plant and equipment and other assets of $1$41 million and $3$1 million for the third quarterquarters of 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.


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


Taxes other than income for the third quarter of 2018 increased $832019 decreased $6 million to $209$203 million (6.3%(7.1% of wellhead revenues) compared to $126from $209 million (6.8%(6.3% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increasedecrease in taxes other than income was primarily due to increases indecreased severance/production taxes in the United States as a result of increased wellhead revenues ($6813 million) and increasedan increase in credits available to EOG in the third quarter of 2019 for state incentive severance tax rate reductions ($3 million), partially offset by higher payroll taxes in Trinidad ($8 million) and an increase in ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($134 million).


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

EOG recognized an income tax provision of $182 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to an income tax provision of $255 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to an income tax provision of $45 million in the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to an increase indecreased pretax income.income, partially offset by the absence of tax benefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments. The net effective tax rate for 2018 decreased2019 increased to 23% from 18% from 31% in 2017.2018. The lowerhigher effective tax rate is mostly due to the reduction in the U.S. federal statutoryabsence of tax rate to 21% in 2018 from 35% in 2017 and an overall net tax benefitbenefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments primarily related to the repatriation tax, partially offset by a reduction in tax benefits from stock-based compensation.adjustments.





Nine Months Ended September 30, 20182019 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 20172018


Operating Revenues. During the first nine months of 20182019, operating revenues increased $4,833$359 million, or 61%3%, to $12,701$13,060 million from $7,868$12,701 million for the same period of 20172018.

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, DD&A, G&A and net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to the same period of 20172018 are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.


    






Lease and well expenses of $936$1,032 million for the first nine months of 20182019 increased $173$96 million from $763$936 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher operating and maintenance costs ($12281 million), higher workover expenditures ($34 million) and higher lease and well administrative costs ($2821 million) and higher workover expenditures ($8 million), all in the United States, partially offset by lower operating and maintenance costs in the United Kingdom ($1311 million). due to the sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018. Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.


DD&A expenses for the first nine months of 2018 decreased $132019 increased $275 million to $2,515$2,790 million from $2,528$2,515 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first nine months of 20182019 were $14$299 million lowerhigher than the same prior year period. The decreaseincrease primarily reflects decreasedincreased production in the United States ($384 million), partially offset by lower unit rates in the United States ($522 million), partially offset by increased production in the United States ($50156 million). DD&A unitUnit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions and reserves added at lower costcosts as a result of increased efficiencies from drilling and completions operations.efficiencies.


G&A expenses of $310$364 million for the first nine months of 2018 decreased $72019 increased $54 million from $317$310 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased professional, legal and other services ($17 million), partially offset by increased employee-related expenses ($7 million) and information systems costs ($6 million).expenses resulting from expanded operations.


Interest expense, net of $189$144 million for the first nine months of 20182019 decreased $22$45 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to repayment in September 2017October 2018 of the $600$350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875%6.875% Senior Notes due 2017.2018 ($18 million), repayment in June 2019 of the $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019 ($17 million) and higher capitalized interest ($10 million).


Gathering and processing costs of $325$351 million for the first nine months of 20182019 increased $219$27 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating costs and fees in the adoption of ASU 2014-09Permian Basin ($14741 million) and increasedthe Rocky Mountain area ($7 million), partially offset by decreased operating costs in the Eagle Ford ($26 million), the Permian BasinUnited Kingdom ($25 million) anddue to the United Kingdom ($21 million).sale of operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.


Exploration costs of $115$103 million for the first nine months of 20182019 decreased $7$12 million from $122$115 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased geological and geophysical costs in the United States.Trinidad.


Impairments of $161$290 million for the first nine months of 20182019 were $165$129 million lowerhigher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to decreasedincreased impairments of proved properties and other assets in the United States ($12998 million) and decreasedincreased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($3431 million), which was caused by a decreasean increase in EOG's estimatesestimate of undeveloped properties not expected to be developed before lease expiration. For the first nine months of 2017, proved property and other asset impairments in the United States were primarily related to the sale of legacy natural gas assets. EOG recorded impairments of proved properties, other property, plant and equipment and other assets of $34$132 million and $165$34 million for the first nine months of 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.


Taxes other than income for the first nine months of 20182019 increased $196$18 million to $582$600 million (6.5%(7.0% of wellhead revenues) from $386$582 million (7.0%(6.5% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes in the United States as a result of increased wellhead revenues ($171 million) and increased ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($1741 million) primarily as a result of increased valuation of the underlying assets and higher payroll taxes in Trinidad ($8 million), partially offset by decreases in severance/production taxes in the United States ($14 million) and Trinidad ($4 million) and an increase in credits available to EOG in the first nine months of 2019 for state incentive severance tax rate reductions ($12 million).


Other expenseincome, net of $5$23 million for the first nine months of 20182019 increased $13$28 million compared to other income of $8 million for the same prior year period primarily due to an increase in interest income ($14 million), a decrease in deferred compensation expense ($7 million) and higher foreign currency exchange losses.gains ($6 million).


EOG recognized an income tax provision of $616 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to an income tax provision of $626 million for the first nine months of 2018 compared to an income tax provision of $96 million for the same period in 2017,2018, primarily due to an increase indecreased pretax income.income, partially offset by the absence of tax benefits from certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments. The net effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 decreased2019 increased to 23% from 20% from 39% for the first nine months of 2017.in 2018. The lowerhigher effective tax rate is primarilymostly due to the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to 21% in 2018 from 35% in 2017 and foreign income in the United Kingdom for which no taxes are recorded due to valuation allowances, partially offset by a reduction inabsence of tax benefits from stock-based compensation.certain tax reform measurement-period adjustments.

Exploration and development expenditures of $4,909$5,056 million for the first nine months of 20182019 were $1,643$147 million higher than the same period of 20172018 primarily due to increased property acquisitions ($253 million) and increased exploration and drilling expenditures in the United StatesTrinidad ($1,644 million), increased property acquisitions ($69 million) and increased facilities expenditures ($6228 million), partially offset by decreased exploration and drilling expenditures in Trinidad ($96 million), decreased leasehold acquisitions ($29130 million) and decreased geologicalfacilities expenditures ($19 million). Exploration and geophysicaldevelopment expenditures ($15 million).for the first nine months of 2019 of $5,056 million consisted of $4,341 million in development drilling and facilities, $355 million in exploration, $332 million in property acquisitions and $28 million in capitalized interest. Exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of 2018 of $4,909 million consisted of $4,353 million in development drilling and facilities, $459 million in exploration, $79 million in property acquisitions and $18 million in capitalized interest. Exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of 2017 of $3,266 million consisted of $2,734 million in development drilling and facilities, $501 million in exploration, $21 million in capitalized interest and $10 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 economic factors. EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives and the ability to adjust its exploration and development expenditure budget as circumstances warrant. While EOG has certain continuing commitments associated with expenditure plans related to its operations, such commitments are not expected to be material when considered in relation to the total financial capacity of EOG.


Commodity Derivative Transactions. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed on February 27, 2018,26, 2019, EOG engages in price risk management activities from time to time. These activities are intended to manage EOG's exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. EOG has not designated any of its financial commodity derivative contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. Under this accounting method, changes in the fair value of outstanding financial instruments are recognized as gains or losses in the period of change and are recorded as Gains (Losses) on Mark-to-Market Commodity Derivative Contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The related cash flow impact is reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


The total fair value of EOG's commodity derivative contracts was reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2018,2019, as a net liabilityasset of $126$123 million.


Prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from NYMEX West Texas Intermediate prices due to adjustments for delivery location (basis) and other factors. EOG has entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma (Midland Differential). Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's Midland Differential basis swap contracts through October 26, 2018.29, 2019. The weighted average price differential expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl) represents the amount of reduction to Cushing, Oklahoma, prices for the notional volumes expressed in barrels per day (Bbld) covered by the basis swap contracts.

EOG has sold call options which establish a ceiling price for the sale of notional volumes of natural gas as specified in the call option contracts. The call options require that EOG pay the difference between the call option strike price and either the average or last business day NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price for the contract month (Henry Hub Index Price) in the event the Henry Hub Index Price is above the call option strike price.




In addition, EOG has purchased put options which establish a floor price for the sale of notional volumes of natural gas as specified in the put option contracts. The put options grant EOG the right to receive the difference between the put option strike price and the Henry Hub Index Price in the event the Henry Hub Index Price is below the put option strike price. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's natural gas call and put option contracts through October 26, 2018,29, 2019, with notional volumes expressed in MMBtud and prices expressed in $/MMBtu.

EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target," "aims," "goal," "may," "will," "should" and "believe" or the negative of those terms or other variations or comparable terminology to identify its forward-looking statements. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning EOG's future operating results and returns or EOG's ability to replace or increase reserves, increase production, generate returns, replace or increase drilling locations, reduce or otherwise control operating costs and capital costs,expenditures, generate income or cash flows, pay down or refinance indebtedness or pay and/or increase dividends are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although EOG believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been correct. Moreover, EOG's forward-looking statements may be affected by known, unknown or currently unforeseen risks, events or circumstances that may be outside EOG's control. Important factors that could cause EOG's actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in EOG's forward-looking statements include, among others:


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



the timing and extent of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, inflation rates, global and domestic financial market conditions and global and domestic general economic conditions;



geopolitical factors and political conditions and developments around the world (such as the imposition of tariffs or trade or other economic sanctions, political instability and armed conflict), including in the areas in which EOG operates;
the use of competing energy sources and the development of alternative energy sources;
the extent to which EOG incurs uninsured losses and liabilities or losses and liabilities in excess of its insurance coverage;
acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts;
physical, electronic and cyber securitycybersecurity breaches; and
the other factors described under ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 1413 through 2322 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, and any updates to those factors set forth in EOG's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.


In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements may not occur, and, if any of such events do, we may not have anticipated the timing of their occurrence or the duration andor 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.
