EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On May 20, 2010, EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) closed its sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.95% Senior Notes due 2015 (2015 Notes) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.40% Senior Notes due 2020 (2020 Notes and, together with the 2015 Notes, the Notes). The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of May 18, 2009 (Indenture), by and between EOG, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee, and an officers’ certificate, dated May 20, 2010, pursuant to the Indenture setting forth the specific terms of the Notes.
     The offer and sale of the Notes has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-163947) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2009.
     The Indenture, the officers’ certificate, the form of global note for the 2015 Notes and the form of global note for the 2020 Notes are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.
I. Price Risk Management
     With the objective of enhancing the certainty of future revenues, from time to time EOG enters into New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) related financial collar, price swap and basis swap contracts. EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. In addition to financial transactions, from time to time 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 these physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.
II. Natural Gas Financial Collar, Price Swap and Basis Swap Contracts
     EOG has not entered into any additional natural gas financial collar, price swap or basis swap contracts since EOG filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 on May 4, 2010 which provided an update and comprehensive summary of all such contracts as of that date.
