I.Price Risk Management

With the objective of enhancing the certainty of future revenues, from time to time EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) enters into U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) related financial price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts. EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.

For the first quarter of 2018, EOG anticipates a non-cash net loss of $59.8 million on the mark-to-market of its financial commodity derivative contracts. During the first quarter of 2018, the net cash paid from settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $22.0 million.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil averaged $62.89 per barrel ($/Bbl), and NYMEX natural gas at Henry Hub averaged $2.93 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). EOG's actual realizations for crude oil and natural gas for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, differ from these NYMEX prices due to delivery location, quality and appropriate revenue adjustments.

II.Crude Oil Derivative Contracts

Since filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, on February 27, 2018 (Annual Report on Form 10-K), EOG has not entered into additional crude oil derivative contracts.

As noted above, prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from NYMEX WTI 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 April 12, 2018. The weighted average price differential expressed in $/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 also entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Cushing, Oklahoma (Gulf Coast Differential). Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's Gulf Coast Differential basis swap contracts through April 12, 2018. The weighted average price differential expressed in $/Bbl represents the amount of addition to Cushing, Oklahoma, prices for the notional volumes expressed in Bbld covered by the basis swap contracts.

Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil price swap contracts through April 12, 2018, with notional volumes expressed in Bbld and prices expressed in $/Bbl.

III.Natural Gas Derivative Contracts

Since filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K, EOG has not entered into additional natural gas derivative contracts.

Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's natural gas price swap contracts through April 12, 2018, with notional volumes expressed in MMBtu per day (MMBtud) and prices expressed in dollars per MMBtu ($/MMBtu).

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 April 12, 2018, with notional volumes expressed in MMBtud and prices expressed in $/MMBtu.

	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) 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 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;

	political conditions and developments around the world (such as 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 security breaches; and

	the other factors described under ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 14 through 23 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, 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 and 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.
