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

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General. The consolidated financial statements of EOG Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (EOG) included herein have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (EOG's 2005 Annual Report).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

On February 1, 2006, the Board of Directors of EOG (Board) increased the quarterly cash dividend on the common stock from the previous $0.04 per share to $0.06 per share effective with the dividend payable on April 28, 2006 to record holders as of April 13, 2006.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform with the current presentation.

Derivative Instruments. As more fully discussed in Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2005 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 natural gas and crude oil. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily collar and price swap contracts, as the means to manage this price risk. EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. In addition to financial transactions, EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions. The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Developments. During July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." FIN 48 addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes specific criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of the tax effects of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of previously recognized tax benefits, classification of tax liabilities on the balance sheet, recording interest and penalties on tax underpayments, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure requirements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. EOG is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial statements.

-6-

 

As discussed more fully in Note 2, EOG adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share Based Payment," effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective application method. The standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, eliminating the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), EOG included tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options in the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that cash flows provided by excess tax benefits from stock compensation deductions be reflected in the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Unearned Compensation previously included separately in Shareholders' Equity be written off against Additional Paid in Capital at the date of adoption.

In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-13, "Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty." EITF Issue No. 04-13 requires that purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty in the same line of business should be accounted for as a single non-monetary exchange, if entered into in contemplation of one another. The consensus is effective for inventory arrangements entered into, modified or renewed in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-13 did not have a material impact on EOG's financial statements.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

At June 30, 2006, EOG maintained various stock-based compensation plans as discussed below. EOG adopted SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method and accordingly has not restated any of its prior year results. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), EOG recognized compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and as a result, stock-based compensation expense consisted only of amounts recognized in connection with grants of restricted stock and units. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) resulted in EOG recognizing compensation expense on grants made under its employee stock option plans and its employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included expense for all stock-based compensation awards that were not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and all such awards granted after January 1, 2006 based upon the grant date estimated fair value of the awards. Such expense is computed net of forfeitures estimated based upon EOG's historical employee turnover rate and amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Stock-based compensation expense is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income based upon job functions of the employees receiving the grants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, EOG compensation expense related to its stock-based compensation plans was as follows (in millions):

The impact of SFAS No. 123(R) was to reduce income before income taxes and net income during the three months ended June 30, 2006 by $6.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and to reduce both basic and diluted net income per share by $0.02. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the impact of SFAS No. 123(R) was to reduce income before income taxes and net income by $12.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, and to reduce both basic and diluted net income per share by $0.03. Presented below are EOG's pro forma net income and net income per share available to common had compensation expense been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 (in millions, except per share data):

EOG has various stock plans (Plans) under which employees and non-employee members of the Board have been or may be granted certain equity compensation. At June 30, 2006, approximately 5.2 million common shares remained available for grant under the Plans. EOG's policy is to issue shares related to the Plans from treasury stock. At June 30, 2006, EOG held approximately 6.9 million shares of treasury stock.

Stock Options. Under the Plans, participants have been or may be granted rights to purchase shares of common stock of EOG at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. Stock options granted under the Plans vest on a graded vesting schedule up to four years from the date of grant based on the nature of the grants and as defined in individual grant agreements. Terms for stock options granted under the Plans have not exceeded a maximum term of 10 years. For all grants made prior to August 2004 and all ESPP grants, the fair value of each grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Certain of EOG's stock options granted in 2005 and 2004 contain a feature that limits the potential gain that can be realized by requiring vested options to be exercised if the market price reaches 200% of the grant price for five consecutive trading days (Capped Option). EOG may or may not issue Capped Options in the future. The fair value of each Capped Option grant was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Effective May 2005, the fair value of stock option grants not containing the Capped Option feature was estimated using the Hull-White II binomial option pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and ESPP grants totaled $6.9 million and $13.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

(1) The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $29.8 million and $56.6 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is
       based upon the difference between the market price of EOG's common stock on the date of exercise and the grant price of the options.
(2) Based upon the difference between the closing market price of EOG's common stock on the last trading day of the quarter and the grant price of in-the-money options.

At June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options and ESPP grants totaled $51.2 million. This unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Restricted Stock and Units. Under the Plans, employees may be granted restricted (non-vested) stock and/or units without cost to them. The restricted stock and units granted vest to the employee at various times ranging from one to five years from the date of grant based on the nature of the grants and as defined in individual grant agreements. Upon vesting, restricted stock is released to the employee and restricted units are converted into common stock and released to the employee. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and units totaled $3.7 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $6.1 million and $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In the Gulf of Mexico project, EOG plans to participate in the drilling of an additional well. In the NWT project, EOG is evaluating the data gathered from additional wells drilled during the first quarter of 2006 and gathering seismic data.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

There are various suits and claims against EOG that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the chance that these suits and claims will individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of EOG is remote. When necessary, EOG has made accruals in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," in order to provide for these matters.

-13-

10. Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Pension Plans. EOG has a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan and a matched defined contribution savings plan in place for most of its employees in the United States. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, EOG's total contributions to these pension plans were $6.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

In addition, as more fully discussed in Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements in EOG's 2005 Annual Report, EOG's Canadian, Trinidadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries maintain various pension and savings plans for most of their employees. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, total contributions to these defined contribution pension plans were $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, total contributions to these defined benefit pension plans amounted to approximately $180,000. The net periodic pension costs recognized for these pension plans were approximately $118,000 and $35,000, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Postretirement Plan. EOG has postretirement medical and dental benefits in place for eligible United States and Trinidad employees and their eligible dependents. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, EOG's total contributions to these plans amounted to approximately $48,000. The net periodic pension costs recognized for the postretirement medical and dental plans were approximately $334,000 and $184,000, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

11. Long-Term Debt

In the first six months of 2006, EOGI International Company, a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of EOG, repaid $100 million of the $250 million outstanding balance of its $600 million, 3-year unsecured Senior Term Loan Agreement (Term Loan Agreement). EOG terminated all remaining borrowing capacity under the Term Loan Agreement effective July 17, 2006. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either a London InterBank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin or the base rate of the Term Loan Agreement's administrative agent. The applicable interest rate for the $150 million outstanding at June 30, 2006 was 5.53%. The weighted average interest rate for the amounts outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 5.18%.

On May 12, 2006, EOG Resources Trinidad Limited, a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of EOG, entered into a 3-year $75 million Revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the base rate of the Credit Agreement's administrative agent. EOG had $10 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2006. The applicable interest rate at June 30, 2006 was 5.79%. The weighted average interest rate for the amount outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2006 was 6.40%.

In June 2005, EOG entered into a 5-year $600 million unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (Agreement). The Agreement was amended on June 21, 2006, effectively extending the scheduled maturity date to June 28, 2011. The Agreement provides for the allocation, at the option of EOG, of up to $75 million each to EOG's United Kingdom subsidiary and one of its Canadian subsidiaries. The Agreement also provides EOG the option to request letters of credit to be issued in an aggregate amount of up to $200 million. Interest accrues on advances based, at EOG's option, on either LIBOR plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate) or the base rate of the Agreement's administrative agent. There are no borrowings or letters of credit currently outstanding under the Agreement. The applicable base rate and Eurodollar rate, had there been an amount borrowed under the Agreement, would have been 8.25% and 5.56%, respectively, at June 30, 2006.

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. (EOG) is one of the largest independent (non-integrated) oil and natural gas companies in the United States with proved reserves in the United States, Canada, offshore Trinidad and the United Kingdom North Sea. EOG operates under a consistent business and operational strategy that focuses predominantly on achieving a strong reinvestment rate of return, drilling internally generated prospects, delivering long-term production growth and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Operations. EOG's effort to identify plays with larger reserve potential has proven a successful supplement to its base development and exploitation program in the United States and Canada. EOG plans to continue to drill numerous wells in large acreage plays, which in the aggregate are expected to contribute substantially to EOG's crude oil and natural gas production. EOG has several larger potential plays under way in Wyoming, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma and western Canada.

Although EOG continues to focus on United States and Canada natural gas, EOG sees an increasing linkage between United States and Canada natural gas demand and Trinidad natural gas supply. For example, liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from existing and planned facilities in Trinidad are contenders to meet increasing United States natural gas demand. In addition, ammonia, methanol and chemical production has been relocating from the United States and Canada to Trinidad, driven by attractive natural gas feedstock prices in the island nation. EOG believes that its existing position with the supply contracts to two ammonia plants; a methanol plant; and the Atlantic LNG Train 4 (ALNG), an LNG plant in Point Fortin, Trinidad, will continue to give its portfolio an even broader exposure to United States and Canada natural gas fundamentals.

In December 2005, ALNG began taking gas and remained in the start-up phase through the second quarter of 2006. In the first quarter of 2006, a subsidiary of EOG, EOG Resources Trinidad Block 4(a) Unlimited, drilled two successful wells on Block 4(a) and in April 2006, applied to enter the market development phase under the production sharing contract with the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.

A subsidiary of EOG, EOG Resources Trinidad Limited (EOGRT), and the other participants in the South East Coast Consortium (SECC) Block signed a farm-in agreement covering the SECC Deep Ibis prospect with BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC (BP) during 2004. The SECC Deep Ibis well spud in April 2006 and is expected to reach total depth during the third quarter of 2006. BP will pay the entire cost for drilling the exploratory well. EOGRT will retain a 50.6% working interest in the prospect and will develop the prospect, if successful.

EOG continues its activities in the Southern Gas Basin of the United Kingdom North Sea. In addition to EOG's ongoing production from the Valkyrie and Arthur Fields, the Arthur 3 well began production in July 2006. EOG plans to review additional opportunities in the United Kingdom North Sea.

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

-15-

Capital Structure. One of management's key strategies is to keep a strong balance sheet with a consistently below average debt-to-total capitalization ratio as compared to those in EOG's peer group. At June 30, 2006, EOG's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 15%, down slightly from 16% at March 31, 2006. During the first six months of 2006, EOG funded its capital programs by utilizing cash provided from its operating activities. As management continues to assess price forecast and demand trends for 2006, EOG believes that operations and capital expenditure activity can be largely funded by cash from operations.

For 2006, EOG's estimated exploration and development expenditure budget is $2.60 billion to $2.75 billion, excluding acquisitions. United States and Canada natural gas drilling activity continues to be a key component of this effort. When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer EOG incremental exploration and/or production opportunities. Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history.

EOG adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method and accordingly has not restated any of its prior year results. See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), EOG recognized compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and as a result, stock-based compensation expense consisted only of amounts recognized in connection with grants of restricted stock and units. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) resulted in EOG recognizing compensation expense on grants made under its employee stock option plans and its employee stock purchase plan. Stock-based compensation expense is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income based upon job functions of employees receiving the grants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, EOG compensation expense related to its stock-based compensation plans was as follows (in millions):

Results of Operations

The following review of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of EOG and notes thereto included with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the second quarter of 2006 increased $17 million, or 3%, to $643 million from $626 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to increased natural gas deliveries ($58 million), partially offset by a lower composite average wellhead natural gas price ($41 million). The composite average wellhead price for natural gas decreased 6% to $5.47 per Mcf for the second quarter of 2006 from $5.82 per Mcf for the same period in 2005.

Natural gas deliveries increased 109 MMcfd, or 9%, to 1,291 MMcfd for the second quarter of 2006 from 1,182 MMcfd for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher production in the United States (70 MMcfd) and Trinidad (51 MMcfd), partially offset by decreased production in the United Kingdom (9 MMcfd). The increase in the United States was primarily attributable to increased production in Texas (64 MMcfd) and the Rocky Mountain area (18 MMcfd), partially offset by decreased production in offshore Gulf of Mexico (21 MMcfd). The decrease in Gulf of Mexico production was partially due to continued shut-in production from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The increase in Trinidad was due to the commencement of two contracts in the fourth quarter of 2005 (67 MMcfd) and increased contractual demand (34 MMcfd), partially offset by a decrease in volume as a result of the completion of a cost recovery arrangement (50 MMcfd). The decrease in the United Kingdom was due primarily to production declines in both the Arthur and Valkyrie fields.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the second quarter of 2006 increased $17 million, or 13%, to $149 million from $132 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to a higher composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($36 million), partially offset by decreased wellhead crude oil and condensate sales ($19 million). The composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the second quarter of 2006 was $67.13 per barrel compared to $50.93 per barrel for the same period in 2005.

Natural gas liquids revenues for the second quarter of 2006 increased $11 million, or 44%, to $36 million from $25 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to increases in the composite average price ($9 million) and deliveries ($2 million).

During the second quarter of 2006, EOG recognized a gain on mark-to-market financial commodity derivative contracts of $91 million, and the net cash inflow related to settled natural gas financial collar and price swap contracts was $64 million. During the second quarter of 2005, EOG was not a party to any financial commodity derivative contracts.

Operating and Other Expenses. For the second quarter of 2006, operating expenses of $464 million were $75 million higher than the $389 million incurred in the second quarter of 2005. The following table presents the costs per Mcfe for the three-month periods ended June 30:

The higher per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, DD&A, G&A and taxes other than income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 were due primarily to the reasons set forth below.

-18-

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

Each of these categories of costs individually fluctuate 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 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 $87 million for the second quarter of 2006 increased $20 million from $67 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher operating and maintenance expenses in the United States ($9 million) and Canada ($4 million); higher lease and well administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, in the United States ($4 million); and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($2 million).

Transportation costs represent costs incurred directly by EOG from third-party carriers associated with the delivery of hydrocarbon products from the lease to a down-stream point of sale. Transportation costs include the cost of compression (the cost of compressing natural gas to meet pipeline pressure requirements), dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees, fuel costs and transportation fees.

Transportation costs of $26 million for the second quarter of 2006 increased $6 million from $20 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased production in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale Play.

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

DD&A expenses of $193 million for the second quarter of 2006 increased $33 million from the same prior year period primarily due to increased DD&A rates in the United States ($17 million), Canada ($3 million) and the United Kingdom ($3 million); increased production in the United States ($6 million); and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($4 million).

G&A expenses of $39 million for the second quarter of 2006 were $8 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to higher employee-related costs ($6 million) and higher insurance costs ($1 million). The increase in employee-related costs primarily reflects higher stock-based compensation expense ($3 million).

Taxes other than income include severance/production taxes, ad valorem/property taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes and other miscellaneous taxes. Taxes other than income of $47 million for the second quarter of 2006 were $9 million higher than the same prior year period. Severance/production taxes increased due primarily to increased wellhead revenues in Trinidad ($4 million) and the United States ($3 million), partially offset by an increase in credits taken for a Texas high cost gas severance tax exemption ($3 million). Ad valorem/property taxes increased primarily due to higher property valuations in the United States ($3 million).

Interest expense, net was $12 million for the second quarter of 2006, down $2 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a slightly lower average debt balance ($1 million) and higher capitalized interest ($1 million).

Exploration costs of $35 million for the second quarter of 2006 increased $7 million from $28 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expenses.

-19-

Impairments include amortization of unproved leases, as well as impairments under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which requires an entity to compute impairments to the carrying value of long-lived assets based on future cash flow analysis. EOG recorded impairments of $10 million and $12 million for the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively, under SFAS No. 144 for properties in the United States.

Other income, net was $22 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $7 million for the same prior year period. The increase of $15 million was primarily due to higher interest income ($7 million), higher gains on sales of properties ($3 million) and decreased net foreign currency transaction losses ($2 million).

Income tax provision of $133 million for the second quarter of 2006 decreased $5 million compared to the same prior year period due primarily to a Canadian federal tax rate reduction ($19 million) and an Alberta, Canada provincial tax rate reduction ($13 million), partially offset by a higher tax provision resulting from increased pretax income ($27 million). The net effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2006 decreased to 29% from 36% for the same prior year period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net Operating Revenues. During the first six months of 2006, net operating revenues increased $532 million, or 36%, to $2,004 million from $1,472 million for the same period in 2005. Total wellhead revenues increased $331 million, or 23%, to $1,802 million from $1,471 million for the same period in 2005.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first six months of 2006 increased $263 million, or 23%, to $1,432 million from $1,169 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to a higher composite average wellhead natural gas price ($139 million) and increased natural gas deliveries ($124 million). The composite average wellhead price for natural gas increased 11% to $6.10 per Mcf for the first six months of 2006 from $5.51 per Mcf for the same period in 2005.

Natural gas deliveries increased 126 MMcfd, or 11%, to 1,298 MMcfd for the first six months of 2006 from 1,172 MMcfd for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to higher production in the United States (69 MMcfd) and Trinidad (65 MMcfd), partially offset by decreased production in the United Kingdom (4 MMcfd). The increase in the United States was primarily attributable to increased production in Texas (65 MMcfd) and the Rocky Mountain area (19 MMcfd), partially offset by decreased production in offshore Gulf of Mexico (21 MMcfd). The decrease in Gulf of Mexico production was partially due to continued shut-in production from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The increase in Trinidad was due to the commencement of two contracts in the fourth quarter of 2005 (80 MMcfd) and increased contractual demand (36 MMcfd), partially offset by a decrease in volume as a result of the completion of a cost recovery arrangement (51 MMcfd). The decrease in the United Kingdom was due primarily to production declines in both the Arthur and Valkyrie fields.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first six months of 2006 increased $48 million, or 19%, to $306 million from $258 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to a higher composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($67 million), partially offset by decreased wellhead crude oil and condensate sales ($19 million). The composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first six months of 2006 was $63.21 per barrel compared to $49.41 per barrel for the same period in 2005.

Natural gas liquids revenues for the first six months of 2006 increased $20 million, or 47%, to $63 million from $43 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to increases in the composite average price ($16 million) and deliveries ($4 million).

During the first six months of 2006, EOG recognized a gain on mark-to-market financial commodity derivative contracts of $198 million and the net cash inflow related to settled natural gas financial collar and price swap contracts was $94 million. During the first six months of 2005, EOG recognized a loss on mark-to-market financial commodity derivative contracts of $1 million and the net cash inflow related to settled natural gas financial collar contracts was $10 million.

Operating and Other Expenses. For the first six months of 2006, operating expenses of $920 million were $163 million higher than the $757 million incurred in the same period in 2005. The following table presents the costs per Mcfe for the six-month periods ended June 30:

The higher per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, DD&A, G&A and taxes other than income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 were due primarily to the reasons set forth below.

-22-

Lease and well expenses of $175 million for the first six months of 2006 were $42 million higher than the same prior year primarily due to higher operating and maintenance expenses in the United States ($17 million), Canada ($11 million) and Trinidad ($2 million); higher lease and well administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation expenses, in the United States ($5 million) and Canada ($2 million); and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($4 million).

Transportation costs of $54 million for the first six months of 2006 increased $17 million from $37 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased production in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale Play.

DD&A expenses of $371 million for the first six months of 2006 increased $58 million from the same prior year period primarily due to increased DD&A rates in the United States ($24 million), Canada ($6 million) and the United Kingdom ($5 million); increased production in the United States ($16 million); and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($6 million).

G&A expenses of $75 million for the first six months of 2006 were $16 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to higher employee-related expenses ($11 million) and higher insurance costs ($2 million). The increase in employee-related costs primarily reflects higher stock-based compensation expense ($6 million).

Taxes other than income of $101 million for the first six months of 2006 were $21 million higher than the same prior year period. Severance/production taxes increased due primarily to increased wellhead revenues in the United States ($11 million) and Trinidad ($7 million), partially offset by an increase in credits taken for a Texas high cost gas severance tax exemption ($7 million). Ad valorem/property taxes increased primarily due to higher property valuations in the United States ($7 million).

Interest expense, net was $26 million for the first six months of 2006, down $3 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher capitalized interest ($2 million) and a slightly lower average debt balance ($1 million).

Exploration costs of $75 million for the first six months of 2006 increased $12 million from $63 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expenses.

Impairments of $45 million for the first six months of 2006 were $9 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments to the carrying value of long-lived assets in the United States ($7 million) and increased amortization of unproved leases in Canada ($2 million). EOG recorded impairments of $20 million and $13 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, under SFAS No. 144 for properties in the United States.

Other income, net was $36 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to $12 million for the same prior year period. The increase of $24 million was primarily due to higher interest income ($13 million), higher gains on sales of properties ($4 million), decreased net foreign currency transaction losses ($3 million), and increased equity income from investments in Nitrogen (2000) Unlimited and Caribbean Nitrogen Company Limited ($3 million).

Income tax provision of $336 million for the first six months of 2006 increased $90 million compared to the same prior year period due primarily to a higher tax provision resulting from increased pretax income ($138 million), partially offset by a decrease in foreign income taxes ($48 million), largely related to a Canadian federal tax rate reduction ($19 million) and an Alberta, Canada provincial tax rate reduction ($13 million). The net effective tax rate for the first six months of 2006 decreased to 31% from 35% for the same prior year period.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash Flow. The primary source of cash for EOG during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was funds generated from operations. The primary uses of cash were funds used in operations, exploration and development expenditures, repayment of debt and dividend payments to shareholders. During the first six months of 2006, EOG's cash balance increased $115 million to $759 million from $644 million at December 31, 2005.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,376 million for the first six months of 2006 increased $391 million compared to the same period in 2005 primarily reflecting an increase in wellhead revenues ($331 million), favorable changes in working capital and other liabilities ($102 million) and a change in the net cash flows from settlement of financial commodity derivative contracts ($84 million), partially offset by an increase in cash operating expenses ($108 million).

Net cash used in investing activities of $1,180 million for the first six months of 2006 increased by $413 million compared to the same period in 2005 due primarily to increased additions to oil and gas properties ($428 million) and proceeds received in 2005 from sales of partial interests in certain equity investments in Trinidad ($18 million), partially offset by changes in working capital associated with investing activities ($30 million).

Net cash used in financing activities was $88 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $44 million for the same period in 2005. Financing activities in 2006 included repayment of long-term debt ($103 million), cash dividend payments ($28 million), excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation expenses ($21 million), proceeds from sales of treasury stock attributable to employee stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan ($11 million) and long-term debt borrowings ($10 million).

Total exploration and development expenditures of $1,269 million for the first six months of 2006 were $441 million higher than the same period in 2005. The 2006 exploration and development expenditures of $1,265 included $920 million in development, $330 million in exploration, $9 million in capitalized interest and $6 million in property acquisitions. The 2005 exploration and development expenditures of $825 included $544 million in development, $262 million in exploration, $12 million in property acquisitions and $7 million in capitalized interest.

Higher development expenditures for the first six months of 2006 of $376 million were due primarily to increased development drilling expenditures in the United States ($300 million) and Canada ($23 million), increased expenditures related to infrastructure facilities in the United States ($32 million) and increased recompletions in the United States ($20 million).

Higher exploration expenditures for the first six months of 2006 of $68 million were primarily due to increased exploratory drilling expenditures, including dry hole costs, in Trinidad ($39 million) and the United States ($12 million); increased expenditures for leasehold acquisitions in the United States ($8 million) and Canada ($4 million); and higher exploration administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, in the United States ($5 million).

The level of exploration and development expenditures, including acquisitions, will vary in future periods depending on energy market conditions and other related economic factors. EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives and the ability to adjust its exploration and development expenditure budget as circumstances warrant. There are no material continuing commitments associated with expenditure plans.

Commodity Derivative Transactions. As more fully discussed in Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, 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 natural gas and crude oil. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily collar and price swap contracts, as the means to manage this price risk. EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. In addition to financial transactions, EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions. The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.

Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's natural gas financial collar and price swap contracts at July 26, 2006 with prices expressed in dollars per million British thermal units ($/MMBtu) and notional volumes in million British thermal units per day (MMBtud). The total fair value of the natural gas financial collar and price swap contracts at June 30, 2006 was a positive $116 million.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding EOG's future financial position, business strategy, budgets, reserve information, projected levels of production, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target" and "believe" or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology to identify its forward-looking statements. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning future operating results, the ability to replace or increase reserves or to increase production, or the ability to generate income or cash flows are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although EOG believes its expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements include, among others: the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas and related products, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; the timing and impact of liquefied natural gas imports and changes in demand or prices for ammonia or methanol; the extent and effect of any hedging activities engaged in by EOG; the extent of EOG's success in discovering, developing, marketing and producing reserves and in acquiring oil and gas properties; the accuracy of reserve estimates, which by their nature involve the exercise of professional judgment and may therefore be imprecise; the availability and cost of drilling rigs, experienced drilling crews, materials and equipment used in well completions, and tubular steel; the availability, terms and timing of governmental and other permits and rights of way; the availability of pipeline transportation capacity; the availability of compression uplift capacity; the extent to which EOG can economically develop its Barnett Shale acreage outside of Johnson County, Texas; whether EOG is successful in its efforts to more densely develop its acreage in the Barnett Shale and other production areas; political developments around the world; acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts; weather; and financial market conditions. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements might not occur. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and EOG undertakes no obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
