NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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, 2016
, filed on February 27, 2017 (EOG's 2016 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 six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Effective January 1, 2017, EOG adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (ASU 2016-09), which amends certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment arrangements. ASU 2016-09 revises or provides alternative accounting for the tax impacts of share-based payment arrangements, forfeitures and minimum statutory tax withholdings and prescribes certain disclosures to be made in the period the new standard is adopted. There was no impact to retained earnings with respect to excess tax benefits. EOG began recognizing all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax provision or benefit as discrete events. Net excess tax benefits recognized within income tax provision was
$12 million
for the six months ended
June 30, 2017
. The treatment of forfeitures did not change as EOG elected to continue the current process of estimating the number of forfeitures. As such, this had no cumulative effect on retained earnings. EOG elected to present changes to the statements of cash flows on a prospective transition method.
Effective January 1, 2017, EOG adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes in a classified balance sheet by eliminating the requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts. Instead, ASU 2015-17 requires that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be shown as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2015-17, EOG restated its December 31, 2016 balance sheet to reclassify
$169 million
of current deferred income tax assets as noncurrent.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
In February 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) - Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (ASU 2017-05). ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope and application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 610-20 to the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and, in substance, nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. ASU 2017-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted, at the same time of adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (ASU 2014-09). EOG does not intend to early adopt ASU 2017-05. EOG is reviewing the provisions of ASU 2017-05 in connection with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to determine its impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business" (ASU 2017-01), which clarifies the definition of a business to provide guidance in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business, requiring that when substantially all fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. A framework is provided to assist in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present for the set to be a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. No disclosures are required at transition and early adoption is permitted. EOG is evaluating ASU 2017-01 to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (ASU 2016-15). ASU 2016-15 reduces existing diversity in practice by providing guidance on the classification of eight specific cash receipts and cash payments transactions in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is required to be adopted using a retrospective approach, if practicable. Early adoption is permitted. EOG does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), which significantly changes accounting for leases by requiring that lessees recognize a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments, for virtually all 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 conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration." ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements using a modified retrospective approach. EOG is reviewing the provisions of ASU 2016-02 to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which will 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. ASU 2014-09 will supersede most current guidance related to revenue recognition when it becomes effective. The new standard also will require expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and certainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard permits adoption through the use of either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, which rescinds certain SEC guidance in the related ASC, including guidance related to the use of the "entitlements" method of revenue recognition used by EOG. EOG will adopt ASU 2014-09 utilizing the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Based on its current assessments to-date, EOG does not anticipate the provisions of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on EOG's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. EOG continues to analyze ASU 2014-09 in order to finalize implementation and determine the impact on EOG's financial statements and related disclosures.

Performance Units and Performance Stock.
EOG has granted performance units and/or performance stock (Performance Awards) to its executive officers annually since 2012. As more fully discussed in the grant agreements, the performance metric applicable to the Performance Awards is EOG's total shareholder return over a
three
-year performance period relative to the total shareholder return of a designated group of peer companies (Performance Period). Upon the application of the performance multiple at the completion of the Performance Period, a minimum of
0%
and a maximum of
200%
of the Performance Awards granted could be outstanding. Subject to the termination provisions set forth in the grant agreements and the applicable performance multiple, the grants of Performance Awards will generally "cliff" vest
five
years from the date of grant. The fair value of the Performance Awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
At December 31, 2016,
545,290
Performance Awards were outstanding. Upon completion of the Performance Period for the Performance Awards granted in 2013, a performance multiple of 200% was applied to the 2013 grants resulting in an additional grant of
118,834
Performance Awards in February 2017. A total of
89,224
Performance Awards were released during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, with a total intrinsic value of
$9.0 million
, based upon the closing price of EOG's common stock on the release date. Upon the application of the performance multiple at the completion of the remaining Performance Periods, a minimum of
299,540
and a maximum of
850,260
Performance Awards could be outstanding. There were
574,900
Performance Awards outstanding as of
June 30, 2017
. The total intrinsic value of Performance Awards outstanding at
June 30, 2017

Commitments and Contingencies
There are currently various suits and claims pending against EOG that have arisen in the ordinary course of EOG's business, including contract disputes, personal injury and property damage claims and title disputes. While the ultimate outcome and impact on EOG cannot be predicted, management believes that the resolution of these suits and claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on EOG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. EOG records reserves for contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

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
$253 million
were written down to their fair value of
$92 million
, resulting in pretax impairment charges of
$161 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
. Included in the $161 million pretax impairment charges are
$138 million
of impairments of proved oil and gas properties and other property, plant and equipment for which EOG utilized an accepted offer from a third-party purchaser as the basis for determining fair value. In addition, EOG recorded pretax impairment charges of
$23 million
for a commodity price-related write-down of other assets.
EOG utilized average prices per acre from comparable market transactions as the basis for determining the fair value of unproved properties received in non-cash property exchanges. See Note 4.
Fair Value of Debt.
At
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, EOG had outstanding
$6,990 million
aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which had estimated fair values at such dates of approximately
$7,181 million
and
$7,190 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.

Risk Management Activities
Commodity Price Risk
.
As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's
2016
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 entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil basis swap contracts for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
. 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.

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 those 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 liability position at
December 31, 2016
. EOG had
no
collateral posted and held
no
collateral at
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
.
13. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Yates Entities.
On October 4, 2016, EOG completed its previously announced mergers and related asset purchase transactions with Yates Petroleum Corporation (YPC), Abo Petroleum Corporation (ABO), MYCO Industries, Inc. (MYCO) and certain affiliated entities (collectively with YPC, ABO and MYCO, the Yates Entities). For a further discussion of these transactions, refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in EOG's 2016 Annual Report. The assets of the Yates Entities include producing wells in addition to acreage in the Delaware Basin Core, the Powder River Basin, the Permian Basin Northwest Shelf and other Western basins.
EOG accounted for the mergers with YPC, ABO and MYCO and the related asset purchase transactions as a business combination under the acquisition method with EOG as the acquirer. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. EOG did not record goodwill in connection with these transactions.
There were no changes during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is preliminary, and includes, but is not limited to, the final valuations of oil and gas properties, the valuation of off-market transportation contracts and the calculation of deferred taxes based upon the underlying tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. EOG believes the estimates used are reasonable but are subject to change as additional information becomes available.

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, each 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 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 prudent and safe 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 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, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas and the availability of other worldwide energy supplies, EOG is unable to predict what changes may occur in crude oil and condensate, NGL, and natural gas prices in the future. The market prices of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas in 2017 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 half of 2017, the average U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil and natural gas prices were $50.07 per barrel and $3.19 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, representing increases of 26% and 60%, respectively, from the average NYMEX prices for the same period in 2016. Based on its 2017 drilling and completion plans, EOG expects 2017 total production and total crude oil production to increase as compared to 2016.
During the first half of 2017, EOG continued to focus on increasing drilling, completion and operating efficiencies gained in prior years. In addition, EOG maintained the strategy of looking for opportunities to add drilling inventory through leasehold acquisitions, farm-ins or tactical acquisitions and to evaluate certain potential crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas exploration and development prospects. 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 the first half of 2017 as compared to 72% for the same comparable period of 2016. During the first half of 2017, 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 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 and the Sercan Area (formerly known as the EMZ 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 the Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited. In early 2017, EOG completed and brought on-line two net wells finishing its program in the Sercan area. During the second quarter of 2017, EOG drilled a net well, which was completed in July 2017, and participated in a seismic survey program with a joint venture partner. Also, in June 2017, EOG and NGC signed a new multi-year contract under which EOG will supply future natural gas volumes to NGC beginning in 2019. For the remainder of 2017, EOG expects to drill and complete three additional net wells.
-

-
Other International.
In the United Kingdom, EOG produces crude oil from its 100% working interest East Irish Sea Conwy project. During the second quarter of 2017, the Conwy production was off-line due to operational issues. Additional downtime is expected in the second half of 2017 due to planned facility improvements and ongoing operational issues.
In the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan Province, China, EOG drilled four natural gas wells in the first half of 2017 as part of the continuing development of the Bajiaochang Field, which natural gas is sold under a long-term contract to PetroChina. In the second half of 2017, EOG expects to complete the four aforementioned wells and drill a fifth well.
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 33% at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.
On February 15, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to EOG's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of EOG's authorized shares of common stock from 640 million to 1,280 million. EOG's stockholders approved the increase at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 27, 2017, and the amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 28, 2017.
At
June 30, 2017
, $600 million aggregate principal amount of EOG's 5.875% Senior Notes due 2017 was reclassified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon its intent and ability to repay these notes upon maturity with cash in the third quarter of 2017.
Total anticipated 2017 capital expenditures are estimated to range from approximately $3.7 billion to $4.1 billion, excluding acquisitions. The majority of 2017 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, joint development agreements and similar arrangements and equity and debt offerings.
When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer incremental exploration and/or production opportunities. Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $386 million, or 36%, to $1,445 million from $1,059 million for the same period of
2016
. The increase was primarily due to an increase of 67 MBbld, or 25%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($270 million) and a higher composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($116 million). Increased production was primarily due to increases in the Permian Basin, Rocky Mountain area, the Eagle Ford and from the 2016 mergers and related asset purchase transactions with Yates Petroleum Corporation and other affiliated entities (collectively, the Yates Entities). EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased 9% to $47.46 per barrel compared to $43.65 per barrel for the same period of
2016
.
NGL revenues for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $35 million, or 32%, to $147 million from $112 million for the same period of
2016
due primarily to a higher composite average price. EOG's composite NGL price for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased 28% to $18.65 per barrel compared to $14.56 per barrel for the same period of
2016
.
Wellhead natural gas revenues for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $68 million, or 44%, to $224 million from $156 million for the same period of
2016
. The increase was due to a higher composite wellhead natural gas price ($81 million), partially offset by a decrease in natural gas deliveries ($13 million). Natural gas deliveries for the
second
quarter of
2017
decreased 98 MMcfd, or 8%, compared to the same period of
2016
due primarily to lower deliveries in the United States (65 MMcfd) and Trinidad (29 MMcfd). The decrease in the United States was due primarily to the 2016 sale of EOG's Johnson County, Texas, Barnett Shale, Haynesville and South Texas natural gas assets, partially offset by increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and the Rocky Mountain area and the 2016 transactions with the Yates Entities. The decrease in Trinidad was primarily due to lower contractual deliveries. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased 56% to $2.25 per Mcf compared to $1.44 per Mcf for the same period of
2016
.
During the
second
quarter of
2017
, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $9 million compared to net losses of $44 million for the same period of
2016
. During the
second
quarter of
2017
, net cash received for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $0.7 million compared to net cash paid of $15 million for the same period of
2016
.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues are revenues generated from sales of third-party crude oil, NGLs and natural gas as well as gathering 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 natural gas are 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 of purchasing third-party crude oil and natural gas 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
2017
decreased $17 million as compared to the same period of
2016
. The decrease primarily reflects lower margins in 2017 on crude oil marketing activities, partially offset by higher margins on natural gas marketing activities and sand sales.

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation, DD&A and G&A for the three months ended
June 30, 2017
, compared to the same period of
2016
are set forth below. See "Net 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 $255 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $37 million from $218 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($28 million) and the United Kingdom ($9 million).
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), dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees and fuel costs.
Transportation costs of $186 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $7 million from $179 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher transportation costs in the Permian Basin ($9 million), the Rocky Mountain area ($9 million) and the Eagle Ford ($5 million) and the addition of the Yates Entities in 2016 ($5 million), partially offset by the 2016 sale of EOG's Johnson County, Texas, Barnett Shale and Haynesville natural gas assets ($20 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
2017
increased $3 million to $865 million from $862 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the
second
quarter of
2017
were $3 million higher than the same prior year period. The increase primarily reflects increased production in the United States ($95 million), partially offset by decreased rates in the United States ($86 million) and Trinidad ($3 million) and decreased production in Trinidad ($3 million). DD&A unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions and reserves added at lower cost as a result of increased efficiencies.
G&A expenses of $109 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $11 million from $98 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increases in professional, legal and other services ($19 million) and by an increase in employee-related expenses ($12 million) primarily due to the 2016 transactions with the Yates Entities, partially offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses in connection with certain voluntary retirements in 2016 ($20 million).
Exploration costs of $35 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $4 million from $31 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased geological and geophysical costs in the United States.
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 individually significant acquisition costs are analyzed on a property-by-property basis for any impairment in value. 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. 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 bids as the basis for determining fair value.
Impairments of $79 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
were $6 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of other assets in the United States ($23 million), partially offset by decreased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($17 million). EOG recorded impairments of proved properties, other property, plant and equipment and other assets of $24 million and $1 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
and
2016
, respectively.
Gathering and processing costs represent operating and maintenance expenses and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's gathering and processing assets.
Gathering and processing costs increased $6 million to $35 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
compared to $29 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating costs in the United Kingdom ($8 million), partially offset by lower operating costs in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale ($3 million).
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
2017
increased $37 million to $130 million (7.2% of wellhead revenues) compared to $93 million (7.0% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increases in severance/production taxes, primarily as a result of increased wellhead revenues in the United States.
Other income (expense), net for the
second
quarter of
2017
increased $26 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency exchange losses ($22 million) and decreased deferred compensation expense ($4 million).
EOG recognized an income tax provision of $39 million for the
second
quarter of
2017
compared to an income tax benefit of $88 million in the
second
quarter of
2016
, primarily due to pretax income in 2017 as compared to a pretax loss in 2016. The net effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 increased to 63% from 23% for the second quarter of 2016. The higher effective tax rate was primarily due to additional deferred state income taxes resulting from changes in state apportionment factors and foreign losses in the United Kingdom and Canada for which tax benefits are not recorded due to valuation allowances.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $1,063 million, or 59%, to $2,876 million from $1,813 million for the same period of
2016
due primarily to a higher composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($684 million) and an increase of 57 MBbld, or 21%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($379 million). Increased production was primarily due to increases in the Permian Basin and the Rocky Mountain area. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first
six
months of
2017
increased 31% to $48.85 per barrel compared to $37.23 per barrel for the same period of
2016
.
NGL revenues for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $113 million, or 61%, to $300 million from $187 million for the same period of
2016
due primarily to a higher composite average price. EOG's composite NGL price for the first
six
months of
2017
increased 60% to $20.06 per barrel compared to $12.54 per barrel for the same period of
2016
.
Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $133 million, or 41%, to $455 million from $322 million for the same period of
2016
primarily due to a higher composite wellhead natural gas price ($169 million), partially offset by a decrease of 128 MMcfd, or 11%, in natural gas deliveries ($36 million) primarily due to lower production in the United States (83 MMcfd) and Trinidad (41 MMcfd). The decrease in the United States was due primarily to the 2016 sale of EOG's Johnson County, Texas, Barnett Shale, Haynesville and South Texas natural gas assets, partially offset by increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and the Rocky Mountain area and the 2016 transactions with the Yates Entities. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the first
six
months of
2017
increased 58% to $2.33 per Mcf compared to $1.47 per Mcf for the same period of
2016
.
During the first
six
months of
2017
, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $71 million compared to net losses of $39 million for the same period of
2016
. During the first
six
months of
2017
and
2016
, net cash received for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $3 million. The net cash received for financial commodity derivative contracts during the first
six
months of
2017
included certain early-terminated crude oil price swaps.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the first
six
months of
2017
decreased $20 million as compared to the same period of
2016
. The decrease primarily reflects lower margins in
2017
on crude oil marketing activities, partially offset by higher margins on natural gas marketing activities.
Operating and Other Expenses.
For the first

Lease and well expenses of $511 million for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $52 million from $459 million for the same prior year period primarily due to higher operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($34 million) and the United Kingdom ($13 million) and workover expenditures in the United States ($15 million).
-
27
-
Transportation costs of $365 million for the first
six
months of
2017
decreased $5 million from $370 million for the same prior year period primarily due to the 2016 sale of EOG's Johnson County, Texas, Barnett Shale and Haynesville natural gas assets ($42 million), partially offset by higher transportation costs in the Permian Basin ($19 million), the Rocky Mountain area ($10 million) and the addition of the Yates Entities in 2016 ($8 million).
DD&A expenses for the first
six
months of
2017
decreased $110 million to $1,681 million from $1,791 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first
six
months of
2017
were $111 million lower than the same prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects decreased rates in the United States ($229 million) and Trinidad ($12 million) and decreased production in Trinidad ($9 million), partially offset by increased production in the United States ($137 million) and the United Kingdom ($4 million). DD&A unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions and reserves added at lower cost as a result of increased efficiencies.
Exploration costs of $92 million for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $32 million from $60 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased geological and geophysical costs in Trinidad ($20 million) and the United States ($11 million).
G&A expenses of $206 million for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $8 million from $198 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increases in professional, legal and other services ($23 million) and by an increase in employee-related expenses ($25 million) primarily due to the 2016 transactions with the Yates Entities, partially offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses in connection with certain voluntary retirements in 2016 ($42 million).
Gathering and processing costs for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $15 million to $73 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating costs in the United Kingdom ($19 million), partially offset by decreased operating costs in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area ($4 million).
Impairments of $272 million for the first
six
months of
2017
were $128 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of proved properties and other assets in the United States ($159 million), partially offset by decreased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($31 million), which was caused by a decrease in EOG's estimates of undeveloped properties not expected to be developed before lease expiration. For the first
six
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 $161 million and $2 million for the first
six
months of
2017
and
2016
, respectively.
Taxes other than income for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $106 million to $260 million (7.2% of wellhead revenues) from $154 million (6.6% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes ($91 million) as a result of increased wellhead revenues and increased ad valorem/property taxes ($14 million) in the United States and a decrease in credits available to EOG in 2017 for Texas high-cost gas severance tax rate reductions ($2 million).
Other income (expense), net for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $33 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency exchange losses.
EOG recognized an income tax provision of $50 million for the first
six
months of
2017
compared to an income tax benefit of $327 million for the same period in
2016
, primarily due to pretax income in 2017 as compared to a pretax loss. The net effective tax rate for the first
six
months of
2017
increased to 49% from 30% for the first six months of 2016. The higher effective tax rate was primarily due to foreign losses in the United Kingdom and Canada for which tax benefits are not recorded due to valuation allowances and additional deferred state income taxes resulting from changes in state apportionment factors.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash Flow.
The primary sources of cash for EOG during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, were funds generated from operations and proceeds from sales of assets. The primary uses of cash were funds used in operations; exploration and development expenditures; dividend payments to stockholders; other property, plant and equipment expenditures; and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans. During the first
six
months of
2017
, EOG's cash balance increased $49 million to $1,649 million from $1,600 million at
December 31, 2016
.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,976 million for the first
six
months of
2017
increased $1,181 million compared to the same period of
2016
primarily due to an increase in wellhead revenues ($1,309 million) and favorable changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities ($200 million), partially offset by an increase in cash operating expenses ($211 million) and an unfavorable change in net cash paid for income taxes ($109 million).
Net cash used in investing activities of $1,719 million for the first
six
months of
2017
increased by $838 million compared to the same period of
2016
due to an increase in additions to oil and gas properties ($742 million), a decrease in proceeds from the sales of assets ($77 million) and an increase in additions to other property, plant and equipment ($43 million), partially offset by favorable changes in working capital associated with investing activities ($25 million).
Net cash used in financing activities of $208 million for the first
six
months of
2017
included cash dividend payments ($193 million) and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($22 million). Net cash provided by financing activities of $136 million for the first
six
months of
2016
included net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt ($991 million). Cash used in financing activities for the first
six
months of
2016
included repayments of long-term debt ($400 million), net commercial paper repayments ($260 million), cash dividend payments ($184 million) and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($29 million).
Total Expenditures.
For the year
2017
, EOG's budget for exploration and development and other property, plant and equipment expenditures is approximately $3.7 billion to $4.1 billion, excluding acquisitions. The table below sets out components of total expenditures for the
six

Total exploration and development expenditures of $2,131 million for the first
six
months of
2017
were $928 million higher than the same period of
2016
primarily due to increased exploration and drilling expenditures in the United States ($481 million) and Trinidad ($52 million); increased facilities expenditures ($127 million); increased leasehold acquisitions ($234 million, including $154 million of non-cash property exchanges); and increased geological and geophysical expenditures ($31 million). Exploration and development expenditures for the first
six
months of
2017
of $2,131 million consisted of $1,749 million in development drilling and facilities, $364 million in exploration (including $154 million of non-cash property exchanges), $14 million in capitalized interest and $4 million in property acquisitions. Exploration and development expenditures for the first
six
months of
2016
of $1,203 million consisted of $1,078 million in development drilling and facilities, $98 million in exploration, $10 million in property acquisitions, and $17 million in capitalized interest.
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. 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, 2016
, filed on February 27, 2017, 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 (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). 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
June 30, 2017
, as a net asset of $8 million.
Prices received by EOG for its crude oil production generally vary from NYMEX West Texas Intermediate prices due to adjustments for delivery location (basis) and other factors. EOG entered into crude oil basis swap contracts in order to fix the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil basis swap contracts through August 1, 2017. The weighted average price differential expressed in dollars per barrel ($/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.

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, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements and projections regarding EOG's future financial position, operations, performance, business strategy, returns, budgets, reserves, levels of production, costs and asset sales, statements regarding future commodity prices and statements regarding the plans and objectives of EOG's management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target," "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, reduce or otherwise control operating and capital costs, generate income or cash flows or pay 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, 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; 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) 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;
•
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;
-
33
-
•
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 13 through 22 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, 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.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
EOG's exposure to commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk is discussed in (i) the "Derivative Transactions," "Financing," "Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk" and "Outlook" sections of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Resources and Liquidity" on pages 40 through 44 of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed on February 27, 2017 (EOG's 2016 Annual Report); and (ii) Note 12, "Risk Management Activities," to EOG's Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-27 through F-30 of EOG's 2016 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in this information. For additional information regarding EOG's financial commodity derivative contracts and physical commodity contracts, see (i) Note 12, "Risk Management Activities," to EOG's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; (ii) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations - Net Operating Revenues" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and (iii) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Resources and Liquidity - Commodity Derivative Transactions" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
EOG's management, with the participation of EOG's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of EOG's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, EOG's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that EOG's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date in ensuring that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports EOG files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to EOG's management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in EOG's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, EOG's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
On July 31, 2017, EOG executed a consent decree with the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDOH) regarding alleged violations of North Dakota's air pollution control laws and related provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. After execution by the NDDOH, the consent decree will be filed with the North Dakota District Court for the South Central Judicial District (Court). EOG expects the Court will issue its order approving the consent decree and resolving the alleged violations raised therein.
The consent decree provides that EOG will be subject to a base penalty of $400,000. The consent decree further provides that the base penalty may be reduced by up to 60 percent in respect of voluntary leak detection and repair (LDAR) efforts by EOG and EOG's development and submission of a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) plan to assist with minimizing air emissions. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the consent decree, EOG may fund a supplemental environmental project (SEP) to offset up to 50 percent of the final penalty amount.
EOG anticipates being able to qualify for a substantial portion of the available penalty reductions. EOG also intends to fund a SEP to the full extent contemplated by the consent decree. After taking into account such reductions and the SEP-related offset, EOG expects that the penalty it will pay to the NDDOH will be approximately $100,000.
EOG does not believe that the penalty amount paid to the NDDOH, the expenditures resulting from its LDAR efforts and development and submission of a QA/QC plan or the amount funded for the SEP will have a material adverse effect on EOG's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. EOG's consent decree generally follows the same format as the consent decrees that the NDDOH has negotiated with other North Dakota operators.
