ITEM 1. Business
General
EOG Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 1985, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, EOG), explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas primarily in major producing basins in the United States of America (United States or U.S.), the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad) and, from time to time, select other international areas, including the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. EOG's principal producing areas are further described in "Exploration and Production" below. EOG's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10‑Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports (including related exhibits and supplemental schedules) filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended) are made available, free of charge, through EOG's website, as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports have been filed with, or furnished to, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). EOG's website address is www.eogresources.com. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this report.
At December 31, 2025, EOG's total estimated net proved reserves were 5,514 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), of which 1,905 million barrels (MMBbl) were crude oil and condensate reserves, 1,510 MMBbl were NGLs reserves and 12,592 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 2,099 MMBoe, were natural gas reserves (see "Supplemental Information to Consolidated Financial Statements"). At such date, approximately 99% of EOG's net proved reserves, on a crude oil equivalent basis, were located in the United States and 1% in Trinidad. Crude oil equivalent volumes are determined using a ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or NGLs to 6.0 thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas.
EOG's operations are all crude oil and natural gas exploration and production related. For information regarding the risks associated with EOG's domestic and foreign operations, see ITEM 1A, Risk Factors.
EOG is focused on being among the highest return and lowest cost producers, committed to strong environmental performance and playing a significant role in the long-term future of energy. EOG operates under a consistent business and operational strategy that focuses on a comprehensive approach to developing acreage through industry cycles. EOG evaluates rate of return, net present value, margins, payback period and other key metrics. This strategy is intended to enhance the generation of cash flow and earnings from each unit of production on a cost-efficient basis, allowing EOG to maximize long-term growth in shareholder value and maintain a strong balance sheet. EOG is also focused on innovation and cost-effective utilization of advanced technology associated with three-dimensional seismic and microseismic data, the development of reservoir simulation models and the use of improved drilling equipment and completion technologies for horizontal drilling and formation evaluation. These advanced technologies are used, as appropriate, throughout EOG to reduce the risks and costs associated with all aspects of oil and gas exploration, development and exploitation. 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, coupled with efficient and safe operations and robust environmental stewardship practices and performance, is integral in the implementation of EOG's strategy.
With respect to information on EOG's working interest in wells or acreage, "net" oil and gas wells or acreage are determined by multiplying "gross" oil and gas wells or acreage by EOG's working interest in the wells or acreage.
Exploration and Production
United States Operations
EOG's operations are located in most of the productive basins in the United States with a focus on crude oil and natural gas plays.
At December 31, 2025, on a crude oil equivalent basis, 35% of EOG's net proved reserves in the United States were crude oil and condensate, 27% were NGLs and 38% were natural gas. The majority of these reserves are in long-lived fields with well-established production characteristics. EOG believes opportunities exist to increase production through continued development in and around many of these fields and through the utilization of applicable technologies. EOG also maintains an active exploration program designed to extend fields and add new trends and resource plays to its already broad portfolio.

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 of America (United States) with proved reserves in the United States and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad). EOG is focused on being among the highest return and lowest cost producers, committed to strong environmental performance and playing a significant role in the long-term future of energy. EOG operates under a consistent business and operational strategy that focuses on a comprehensive approach to developing acreage through industry cycles. EOG evaluates rate of return, net present value, margins, payback period and other key metrics. This strategy is intended to enhance the generation of cash flow and earnings from each unit of production on a cost-efficient basis, allowing EOG to maximize long-term growth in shareholder value and maintain 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, coupled with efficient and safe operations and robust environmental stewardship practices and performance, is integral in the implementation of EOG's strategy.
Commodity Prices. Prices for crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas have historically been volatile. This volatility is expected to continue due to the many uncertainties associated with the world political and economic environment (e.g., the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the related disruption of maritime transportation routes for these commodities), the global supply of, and demand for, crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas, the availability of other energy supplies and other factors, including tariffs, trade policies and agreements and trade barriers or other restrictions imposed by the U.S. government or other governments and the related impact of such measures on commodity and financial markets. Compared to its expectations at the beginning of 2026, EOG realized higher crude oil and condensate prices in the first half of 2026 and anticipates realizing higher crude oil and condensate prices for the full-year 2026, in each case as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The market prices of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas impact the amount of cash generated from EOG's operating activities, which, in turn, impact EOG's financial position and results of operations.
For the first six months of 2026, the average U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil and natural gas prices were $82.57 per barrel and $3.92 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, representing increases of 22% and 10%, respectively, from the average NYMEX prices for the same period in 2025. Market prices for NGLs are influenced by the components extracted, including ethane, propane and butane and natural gasoline, among others, and the respective market pricing for each component.
Including the impact of EOG's NGL financial derivative contracts and based on EOG's tax position, EOG's price sensitivity as of June 30, 2026, for each $1.00 per barrel increase or decrease in crude oil and condensate price, combined with the estimated change in NGL price, is approximately $172 million for net income and $221 million for pretax cash flows from operating activities, in each case for the full-year 2026.
Including the impact of EOG's natural gas financial derivative contracts and based on EOG's tax position and the portion of EOG's anticipated natural gas volumes for which prices have not (as of June 30, 2026) been determined under long-term marketing contracts, EOG's price sensitivity as of June 30, 2026, for each $0.10 per thousand cubic feet increase or decrease in natural gas price, is approximately $60 million for net income and $77 million for pretax cash flows from operating activities, in each case for the full-year 2026.
23
Operating Efficiencies. EOG has undertaken (and continues to undertake) initiatives to increase its drilling, completion and operating efficiencies and improve the performance of its wells. Such initiatives include (among others): (i) EOG's downhole drilling motor program, which has resulted in increased footage drilled per day and, in turn, reduced drilling times; (ii) enhanced techniques for completing its wells, which have resulted in increased footage completed per day and pumping hours per day; (iii) drilling extended laterals, which has resulted in a decrease in cost per foot drilled; and (iv) EOG's self-sourced sand program, which has provided supply certainty and resulted in operational efficiencies in its well completion operations. In addition, EOG has entered into agreements with its service providers from time to time, when available and advantageous, to secure the costs and availability of certain drilling and completion services it utilizes as part of its operations.
EOG plans to continue with these initiatives and actions, though there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful and sufficient to offset the impacts of any future inflationary pressures (such as from tariffs, other trade barriers, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, or other macroeconomic factors) on EOG's operating costs and capital expenditures, cash flows and results of operations. Further, there can be no assurance that any such pressures or factors will not impact EOG's ability to conduct its future day-to-day drilling, completion and production operations.
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 condensate, NGLs and natural gas production. EOG has placed an emphasis on applying its horizontal drilling and completion expertise to unconventional crude oil plays and natural gas plays.
During the first six months of 2026, EOG continued to focus on initiatives to increase its drilling, completion and operating efficiencies and improve well performance. In addition, EOG continued to evaluate certain potential crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas exploration and development prospects and to look for opportunities to add drilling inventory through leasehold acquisitions, farm-ins, exchanges or tactical or bolt-on acquisitions. On a volumetric basis, as calculated using a 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 NGLs production accounted for approximately 66% and 70% of EOG's United States production during the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the first six months of 2026, EOG's drilling and completion activities occurred primarily in the Delaware Basin, the Utica and the Eagle Ford play. EOG's major producing areas in the United States are in New Mexico, Texas and Ohio.
Trinidad. In Trinidad, EOG continues to produce natural gas which is sold to the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited under existing supply contracts. Crude oil and condensate are sold to both Heritage Petroleum Company Limited and BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC.
During the first six months of 2026, EOG completed its drilling program in the Mento Field located in the Ska, Mento and Reggae Area and continued construction of the Coconut offshore platform.
Other International. As discussed in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed on February 24, 2026 (EOG's 2025 Annual Report), EOG entered into exploration programs in both the Kingdom of Bahrain (Bahrain) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In June 2026, EOG commenced crude oil production in the UAE. EOG expects to advance both programs during the remainder of 2026.
EOG continues to evaluate other select crude oil and natural gas opportunities outside the United States, primarily by pursuing exploration opportunities in countries where crude oil and natural gas reserves have been identified.
24
2026 Capital and Operating Plan. Total 2026 capital expenditures are estimated to range from approximately $6.3 billion to $6.7 billion, including exploration and development drilling, facilities, leasehold acquisitions, capitalized interest, dry hole costs and other property, plant and equipment and excluding property acquisitions, asset retirement costs, non-cash exchanges and transactions and exploration costs incurred as operating expenses. EOG plans to continue to focus a substantial portion of its exploration and development expenditures in its major producing areas in the United States. In particular, EOG will be focused on United States drilling activity in its plays where it generates the highest rates of return - specifically, in the Delaware Basin, the Utica and the Eagle Ford play. To further enhance the economics of these plays, EOG expects to continue to improve well performance and to focus on improving operating efficiencies; see the above related discussion. Relative to 2025, full-year oil production for 2026 is expected to increase by approximately 5% and full-year total crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas production for 2026 is expected to increase by approximately 14%. In addition, EOG plans to continue to spend a portion of its anticipated 2026 capital expenditures on leasing acreage and evaluating new prospects.
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.
Capital Structure. One of management's key strategies is to maintain a strong balance sheet. EOG's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 20% at June 30, 2026 and 21% at December 31, 2025. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.
EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives, including borrowings under its commercial paper program, bank borrowings, borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, joint development agreements and similar agreements and issuances of additional equity and/or debt securities. For related discussion, see ITEM 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Resources and Liquidity included in EOG's 2025 Annual Report.
Cash Return Framework. In November 2023, EOG announced an increase in its cash return commitment - specifically, a commitment, effective beginning with fiscal year 2024, to return a minimum of 70% of annual net cash provided by operating activities before certain balance sheet-related changes, less total capital expenditures, to stockholders, through a combination of regular dividends, special dividends and share repurchases.
For discussion regarding EOG's payment of dividends and share repurchases, see ITEM 1A, Risk Factors and ITEM 5, Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in EOG's 2025 Annual Report and Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Dividend Declarations. On February 24, 2026, the Board of Directors (Board) declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $1.02 per share paid on April 30, 2026, to stockholders of record as of April 16, 2026.
On May 5, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $1.02 per share paid on July 31, 2026, to stockholders of record as of July 17, 2026.
On August 4, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $1.02 per share to be paid on October 30, 2026, to stockholders of record as of October 16, 2026.
Share Repurchases. In November 2021, the Board established a new share repurchase authorization allowing for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock and, in November 2024, increased such share repurchase authorization from $5 billion to $10 billion. Effective May 20, 2026, the Board again increased such share repurchase authorization, from $10 billion to $20 billion (Share Repurchase Authorization). For additional information regarding the Share Repurchase Authorization, see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(4)Thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day or million barrels of oil equivalent, as applicable; includes crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas. Crude oil equivalent volumes are determined using a ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or NGLs to 6.0 thousand cubic feet of natural gas. MMBoe is calculated by multiplying the MBoed amount by the number of days in the period and then dividing that amount by one thousand.
Crude oil and condensate revenues for the second quarter of 2026 increased $1,927 million, or 65%, to $4,901 million from $2,974 million for the same period of 2025, due to a higher composite average price ($1,667 million) and an increase of 44.6 MBbld, or 9%, in crude oil and condensate deliveries ($260 million). Increased production was primarily from the Utica. EOG's composite crude oil and condensate price for the second quarter of 2026 increased 51% to $98.15 per barrel compared to $64.82 per barrel for the same period of 2025.
27
NGL revenues for the second quarter of 2026 increased $236 million, or 44%, to $770 million from $534 million for the same period of 2025 due to an increase of 88.4 MBbld, or 34%, in NGL deliveries ($182 million) and a higher composite average price ($54 million). Increased production was primarily from the Utica and Permian Basin. EOG's composite NGL price for the second quarter of 2026 increased 8% to $24.41 per barrel compared to $22.70 per barrel for the same period of 2025.
Natural gas revenues for the second quarter of 2026 increased $212 million, or 35%, to $812 million from $600 million for the same period of 2025, due to an increase of 860 MMcfd, or 39%, in natural gas deliveries ($232 million), partially offset by a lower composite average price ($20 million). Increased deliveries were primarily from the Utica and Permian Basin. EOG's composite natural gas price for the second quarter of 2026 decreased 2% to $2.89 per Mcf compared to $2.96 per Mcf for the same period of 2025.
During the second quarter of 2026, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity and other derivative contracts of $40 million compared to net gains of $107 million for the same period of 2025. The net gains of $40 million included gains of $11 million related to the Brent crude oil (Brent) linked gas sales contract. During the second quarter of 2026, net cash received from settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $45 million compared to net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts of $24 million for the same period of 2025.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues are revenues generated from sales of third-party crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas, as well as fees associated with gathering third-party natural gas and revenues from sales of EOG-owned sand. Purchases and sales of third-party crude oil and condensate and natural gas may be utilized in order to balance firm capacity at third-party facilities with production in certain areas and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities. Marketing costs represent the costs to purchase third-party crude oil and condensate, 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 second quarter of 2026 increased $30 million as compared to the same period of 2025 primarily due to higher margins on crude oil and condensate marketing activities.
Operating and Other Expenses. For the second quarter of 2026, operating expenses of $5,092 million were $1,361 million higher than the $3,731 million incurred during the second quarter of 2025. The following table presents the costs per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

28
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, produced water disposal, equipment repair and maintenance, compression expense, lease upkeep, 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 $467 million for the second quarter of 2026 increased $71 million from $396 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($50 million) and increased lease and well administrative expenses in the United States ($18 million).
GP&T costs represent costs to process and deliver hydrocarbon products from the lease to a downstream point of sale. GP&T costs include operating and maintenance expenses from EOG-owned assets, fees paid to third-party operators and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's GP&T assets. EOG pays third parties to process the majority of its natural gas production to extract NGLs.
GP&T costs of $676 million for the second quarter of 2026 increased $221 million from $455 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased GP&T costs related to increased production in the Utica ($219 million) and Permian Basin ($9 million), partially offset by decreased costs in the Eagle Ford ($7 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 second quarter of 2026 increased $206 million to $1,259 million from $1,053 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the second quarter of 2026 were $201 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects increased production in the United States ($229 million) and Trinidad ($6 million), and increased unit rates in Trinidad ($9 million), partially offset by decreased unit rates in the United States ($47 million). DD&A expenses associated with other property, plant and equipment for the second quarter of 2026 were $5 million higher than the same prior year period primarily related to GP&T assets and equipment.
G&A expenses of $213 million for the second quarter of 2026 increased $27 million from $186 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased employee-related costs ($23 million) and legal expenses ($12 million), partially offset by decreased professional services costs primarily related to the Encino acquisition ($11 million).
Interest expense, net of $67 million for the second quarter of 2026 increased $16 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the issuance in July 2025 of the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.350% Senior Notes due 2036 ($17 million), $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2032 ($16 million), $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Senior Notes due 2055 ($7 million) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.400% Senior Notes due 2028 ($6 million), and the issuance in November 2025 of the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.400% Senior Notes due 2031 ($9 million) and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Senior Notes due 2055 ($4 million), partially offset by increased capitalized interest ($27 million), the repayment in December 2025 of the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.15% Senior Notes due 2026 ($8 million), and the absence of financing commitment costs related to the Encino acquisition ($6.5 million).
29
Exploration costs of $47 million for the second quarter of 2026 decreased $27 million from $74 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased geological and geophysical expenditures in Other International ($22 million) and the United States ($7 million), partially offset by increased administrative expenses ($6 million).
Impairments include: amortization of individually insignificant unproved oil and gas property costs as well as impairments of proved oil and gas properties; other property, plant and equipment; individually significant unproved oil and gas property costs; 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.

Taxes other than income include severance/production taxes, ad valorem/property taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes and other miscellaneous taxes. Severance/production taxes are generally determined based on wellhead revenues, and ad valorem/property taxes are generally determined based on the valuation of the underlying assets.
Taxes other than income for the second quarter of 2026 increased $130 million to $431 million (6.6% of revenues from sales of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas) from $301 million (7.3% of revenues from sales of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes ($111 million) and increased ad valorem/property taxes ($10 million), all in the United States.
Other income, net of $38 million for the second quarter of 2026 decreased $17 million from $55 million for the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to decreased interest income.
Income taxes of $775 million for the second quarter of 2026 increased from income taxes of $406 million for the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to increased pretax income. The net effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 decreased to 22% from 23% for the second quarter of 2025.
