PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. 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 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 of America 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, 2001 ("EOG's 2001 Annual Report").
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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.
As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial
statements included in EOG's 2001 Annual Report, EOG engages in price
risk management activities from time to time. Derivative financial
instruments (primarily price swaps and collars) are utilized
selectively to hedge the impact of market fluctuations on natural gas
and crude oil prices. During the first nine months of 2002 and 2001,
EOG elected not to designate any of its price risk management
activities as accounting hedges, and accordingly, accounted for them
using the mark-to-market accounting method.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143 -
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 requires entities
to record the fair value of a liability for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The
fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the
associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated
over the life of the asset. If the obligation is settled for other
than the carrying amount of the liability, a gain or loss is
recognized on settlement. This statement will impact how EOG
accounts for its abandonment liabilities related to its oil and gas
properties. EOG is currently evaluating the effect of adopting SFAS
No. 143 on its financial statements and will adopt the statement on
January 1, 2003.

5. EOG and numerous other companies in the natural gas industry are
named as defendants in various lawsuits alleging violations of the Civil
False Claims Act. These lawsuits have been consolidated for pre-trial
proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of
Wyoming. The plaintiffs contend that defendants have underpaid
royalties on natural gas and natural gas liquids produced on federal and
Indian lands through the use of below-market prices, improper
deductions, improper measurement techniques and transactions with
affiliated companies. Plaintiffs allege that the royalties paid by
defendants were lower than the royalties required to be paid under
federal regulations and that the forms filed by defendants with the
Minerals Management Service reporting these royalty payments were false,
thereby violating the Civil False Claims Act. The United States has
intervened in certain of the cases as to some of the defendants, but has
not intervened as to EOG. Based on EOG's present understanding of these
cases, EOG believes that it has substantial defenses to these claims and
intends to vigorously assert these defenses. However, if EOG is found
to have violated the Civil False Claims Act, EOG could be subject to a
variety of sanctions, including treble damages and substantial monetary
fines.
There are various other suits and claims against EOG that have arisen
in the ordinary course of business. However, management does not
believe 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. EOG has been named as a potentially
responsible party in certain Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act proceedings. However, management does
not believe that any potential assessments resulting from such
proceedings will individually or in the aggregate have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
EOG.
6. From time to time, EOG repurchases shares of its common stock for
purposes of reducing the number of shares of common stock outstanding
and limiting the dilution resulting from common shares issued or
anticipated to be issued under EOG's employee stock and stock option
plans. For the first nine months of 2002, EOG repurchased 0.7 million
shares of its common stock. For the first nine months of 2001, EOG
repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock. To supplement its
share repurchase program, EOG entered into a series of equity derivative
transactions in the second quarter of 2001. During the second quarter
of 2001, EOG sold put options obligating EOG to purchase up to 0.6
million shares of its common stock, with such options expiring in
December 2001 at an average price of $33.42. These transactions were
accounted for as equity transactions with premiums received recorded to
Additional Paid in Capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These
options expired unexercised in December 2001.
7. EOG Company of Canada ("EOG Canada") completed a sale via a private
placement on April 2, 2002 of $100 million of 7.00% Senior Notes due
2011. The notes constitute a further issuance of EOG Canada's 7.00%
Senior Notes due 2011, first issued on December 5, 2001, and form a
single series with those notes. Proceeds of the offering before the
payment of expenses were approximately $100.5 million, including accrued
interest.
8. In July 2002, the $300 million credit facility that was scheduled
to expire was renewed at the same commitment level for a period of one
year, which is the same period as the last renewal of this facility.
This facility commits the banks to advance funds for a period up to and
including July 23, 2003, with any outstanding balances under this
facility maturing July 23, 2004. EOG has not drawn any funds under this
facility.
9. As discussed in more detail in Item 1 of EOG's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, under the heading "Relationship
Between the Company and Enron Corp.," following the closing on August
16, 1999 of the Share Exchange between EOG and Enron Corp. ("Enron"),
Enron issued to investors promissory notes that were mandatorily
exchangeable at maturity into a maximum of 11.5 million shares of EOG
common stock, which constituted all of Enron's remaining shares in EOG
on the date the notes were issued. According to the prospectus for the
notes, the notes are unsecured general corporate obligations of Enron.
The maturity date for the notes was July 31, 2002. In light of Enron's
bankruptcy, EOG believes it is unlikely that the notes will be exchanged
for EOG common stock.
According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
11.5 million shares of EOG common stock formerly held by Enron are
currently held by an affiliate of Enron. By an order entered on June
21, 2002, the bankruptcy judge in the Enron bankruptcy case
authorized the sale of the 11.5 million shares of EOG common stock in
a manner specified in the judge's order, with the proceeds to be
placed into escrow. The timing of the sale is to be determined by a
committee of interested parties that does not include EOG. The
entire 11.5 million shares have been included in EOG's outstanding
common shares.

10. During the second and third quarters of 2002, EOG, through a
subsidiary, invested in and currently owns an approximate 31% equity
interest in a Trinidad company named Nitrogen 2000 Unlimited ("Nitro").
The other shareholders in Nitro are subsidiaries of Ferrostaal AG,
Halliburton and Clico Energy Company Limited. At September 30, 2002,
the investment in Nitro was approximately $13.6 million, with additional
equity payments of $14.1 million due over the next 20 months. Nitro is
constructing an ammonia plant in Trinidad which is expected to commence
production around 2005. Upon funding, Nitro will have a long-term debt
balance of approximately $228.0 million, which will be non-recourse to
Nitro's shareholders. EOG will be liable for its share of any pre-
completion deficiency funds loans to fund plant cost overruns up to $15
million, approximately $4.6 million of which is net to EOG's interest.
EOG will also be liable for its share of any post-completion deficiency
funds loans to fund the costs of operation, payment of principal and
interest to the principal creditor and other cash deficiencies of Nitro
up to $30 million, approximately $9.2 million of which is net to EOG's
interest. The Shareholders' Agreement requires the consent of the
holders of 90% or more of the shares to take certain material actions.
Accordingly, given its current level of equity ownership, EOG is able to
exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies
of Nitro and therefore, accounts for the investment using the equity
method.
11. On October 30, 2002, EOG entered into a Senior Unsecured Term
Loan Facility (the "Facility") with a group of banks whereby the
banks agreed to lend EOG $150 million with a maturity of three years.
EOG will use the loan proceeds under this Facility to reduce
outstanding commercial paper and uncommitted bank line borrowings.
This Facility calls for interest to be charged at a spread over LIBOR
or the Base rate at EOG's option, and contains the same covenants as
those in EOG's $300 million Long-Term Revolving Credit Agreement.
EOG expects to draw under the Facility prior to November 15, 2002.

EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Wellhead revenues decreased 7% to $268.1 million in the third quarter
of 2002 compared to $288.9 million in the third quarter of 2001,
primarily due to lower average wellhead natural gas prices and a decline
in domestic natural gas and crude oil and condensate deliveries.
Wellhead natural gas revenues decreased approximately $17.5 million
primarily due to a decline in average wellhead natural gas prices,
partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries in Trinidad
and the Canada Division. The average wellhead price for natural gas
decreased 10% to $2.37 per Mcf for the third quarter of 2002 compared to
$2.64 per Mcf for the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in wellhead
natural gas prices was due primarily to lower wellhead prices in the
Denver and Canada Divisions.
Natural gas deliveries increased 3% to 946 MMcf per day for the third
quarter of 2002 compared to 921 MMcf per day for the comparable period a
year ago. The increase in natural gas deliveries was due to an increase
in Trinidad of 41% from 116 MMcf per day in 2001 to 164 MMcf per day in
2002 and an increase in the Canada Division of 23% from 124 MMcf per day
in 2001 to 152 MMcf per day in 2002. The higher production in 2002 was
attributable to active drilling activities and strategic property and
small corporate acquisitions in the Canada Division, and the
commencement of production from the U(a) Block in Trinidad. This
increase was partially offset by the decreased production in the United
States Divisions of 7% or 51 MMcf per day.
Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues decreased approximately
$2.1 million, due primarily to the decline in domestic crude oil and
condensate deliveries, partially offset by an increase in wellhead crude
oil and condensate prices. The average wellhead crude oil and condensate
price increased 6% to $26.93 per barrel for the third quarter of 2002
compared to $25.30 per barrel for the comparable period a year ago.
Crude oil and condensate deliveries decreased 9% to 23.2 MBbl per day
for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 25.6 MBbl per day for the
third quarter of 2001. The decrease in volumes was primarily due to
decreased crude oil and condensate production in the Offshore, Midland,
Tyler and Denver Divisions as a result of a natural decline in
production. This natural decline in production was partially offset by
an increased production in Trinidad due to the commencement of
production from the U(a) Block, and active drilling activities and
strategic property and small corporate acquisitions in the Canada
Division.
Natural gas liquids revenues were $1.1 million lower than a year ago
primarily due to a decrease in deliveries of 19%.
Other marketing activities associated with sales and purchases of
natural gas increased net operating revenues by $18.0 million compared
to an increase of $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2001.
During the third quarter of 2002, EOG recognized a loss from
outstanding mark-to-market commodity price swaps of $7.8 million
compared to a gain of $58.8 million for the prior year period. During
the same period, net cash outflows from mark-to-market commodity price
swaps were $2.9 million compared to net cash inflows of $27.3 million
for the comparable period in 2001.
Operating Expenses. For the third quarter of 2002, operating
expenses of $218.2 million were approximately $12.1 million lower than
the third quarter of 2001.
Impairments decreased $8.8 million to $11.8 million in the third
quarter of 2002 compared to a year ago due primarily to improved value-
to-cost relationship on a field by field basis and decreased
amortization of unproved leases in the third quarter of 2002.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") of $100.2 million
decreased $3.1 million from the prior year period due primarily to
decreased production in the Offshore, Midland and Tyler Divisions,
partially offset by the higher DD&A rates in the Canada Division as a
result of certain strategic property and small corporate acquisitions.

EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Lease and well expenses of $45.7 million were $2.1 million higher
than the comparable period a year ago due primarily to increases in the
Canada Division due to additional wells that came on line as a result of
more active drilling activities and strategic property acquisitions,
partially offset by the decrease in the number of workover and re-
completion projects in the Offshore Division.
Taxes other than income were $1.8 million lower compared to a year
ago due to decreased wellhead revenue in North America.
Interest Expense. For the third quarter of 2002, interest expense
increased $8.5 million, or 83%, to $18.8 million compared to the third
quarter of 2001. This increase is due primarily to a higher average
debt balance for the third quarter of 2002 and the one-time close-out
fees associated with the completion of the Section 29 (Tight Gas Sands
Federal Income Tax Credits) financing begun several years ago.
Per-Unit Costs. The following table presents the per-unit costs for
the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
Three Months Ended September 30,
2002 2001
Lease and Well $0.45 $0.43
DD&A 0.99 1.02
G&A 0.21 0.21
Taxes Other than Income 0.17 0.19
Interest Expense 0.18 0.10
Total Per-Unit Costs $2.00 $1.95
The higher per-unit interest expense rate for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, reflects a
higher interest expense in the third quarter of 2002 for reasons
delineated above in the interest expense discussion.
The lower per-unit rate of taxes other than income for the three-
month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in
2001 is due primarily to the decrease in average wellhead natural gas
price discussed in the Net Operating Revenues section above.
Income Tax Provision. For the third quarter of 2002, income tax
provision decreased $29.0 million to $14.0 million compared to the third
quarter of 2001, due to reductions in both the pre-tax income and the
net effective tax rate. The decrease in the net effective tax rate for
the third quarter of 2002 to 33% from 37% for the same period of 2001
was due primarily to reductions in the foreign and state effective
income tax rates.

EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Wellhead revenues decreased 41% to $769.4 million in the first nine
months of 2002 compared to $1,314.1 million in the first nine months of
2001, primarily due to lower average wellhead natural gas prices and a
decline in domestic natural gas and crude oil and condensate deliveries.
Wellhead natural gas revenues decreased approximately $496.6 million
primarily due to a decline in average wellhead natural gas prices and
domestic natural gas deliveries. The average wellhead price for natural
gas decreased 44% to $2.43 per Mcf for the first nine months of 2002
compared to $4.33 per Mcf for the first nine months of 2001.
Natural gas deliveries declined 2% to 911 MMcf per day for the first
nine months of 2002 compared to 931 MMcf per day for the comparable period
a year ago. The lower production was primarily due to a natural
production decline in the Offshore, Oklahoma City, Midland and Tyler
Divisions, partially offset by increased production in Trinidad and the
Canada Division.
Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues decreased approximately
$41.7 million, primarily due to the decline in both wellhead crude oil and
condensate prices and domestic deliveries. The average wellhead crude oil
and condensate price decreased 11% to $23.82 per barrel for the first nine
months of 2002 compared to $26.71 per barrel for the comparable period a
year ago.
Crude oil and condensate deliveries decreased 12% to 23.3 MBbl per day
for the first nine months of 2002 compared to 26.5 MBbl per day for the
first nine months of 2001. The decrease was primarily due to decreased
crude oil and condensate production in the Offshore, Midland, Tyler and
Corpus Christi Divisions, partially offset by increased production in
Trinidad and the Canada Division.
Natural gas liquids revenues were $6.4 million lower than a year ago
primarily due to a decrease in price of 30% and a decrease in deliveries
of 3%.
Other marketing activities associated with sales and purchases of
natural gas increased net operating revenues by $28.0 million compared to
an increase of $9.0 million for the same period in 2001.
During the first nine months of 2002, EOG recognized a loss from
outstanding mark-to-market commodity price swaps of $41.5 million compared
to a gain of $95.0 million for the prior year period. During the same
period, net cash outflows from mark-to-market commodity price swaps were
$11.7 million compared to net cash inflows of $27.8 million for the
comparable period in 2001.
Operating Expenses. For the first nine months of 2002, operating
expenses of $646.2 million were approximately $59.0 million lower than the
first nine months of 2001.
Taxes other than income were $30.1 million lower compared to a year ago
due to decreased wellhead revenue in North America resulting in lower
production taxes and a decrease in ad valorem taxes.
Impairments decreased $18.1 million to $34.5 million in the first nine
months of 2002 compared to a year ago due primarily to improved value-to-
cost relationship on a field by field basis and decreased amortization of
unproved leases in the first nine months of 2002.
Exploration costs of $41.5 million were $8.9 million lower than a year
ago due primarily to decreased geological and geoscience expenditures.

EOG RESOURCES, INC.
G&A expenses of $64.3 million were $6.7 million higher than a year ago
due primarily to the settlement of litigation in the second quarter,
increased insurance expense and expanded operations.
DD&A expenses of $292.6 million decreased $2.2 million from the prior
year period due primarily to a natural production decline in the Midland,
Oklahoma City, Tyler and Offshore Divisions, partially offset by higher
per unit costs related to certain fields in the Denver Division and to the
strategic property and small corporate acquisitions in Canada.
Interest Expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
interest expense of $45.0 million increased $10.8 million compared to the
same period a year ago. This increase is due primarily to a higher
average debt balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the
one-time close-out fees associated with the completion of the Section 29
(Tight Gas Sands Federal Income Tax Credits) financing begun several years
ago.
Per-Unit Costs. The following table presents the per-unit costs for
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2002 2001
Lease and Well $0.44 $0.43
DD&A 1.00 0.97
G&A 0.22 0.19
Taxes Other than Income 0.17 0.27
Interest Expense 0.15 0.11
Total Per-Unit Costs $1.98 $1.97
The lower per-unit rate of taxes other than income for the first nine
months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 is due primarily to a
decrease in the average wellhead natural gas and crude oil and condensate
prices, partially offset by an increase in property tax rate in certain
United States Divisions.
The higher per-unit interest expense and G&A rates for the first nine
months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 is due to reasons
delineated in the above interest expense and G&A discussions.
Income Tax Provision. For the first nine months of 2002, income tax
provision decreased $236.7 million to $19.8 million compared to the
comparable period a year ago, due to reductions in both the pre-tax income
and the net effective tax rate. The decrease in the net effective tax
rate to 32% from 38% for the same period of 2001 was due primarily to
reductions in the foreign and state effective income tax rates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
EOG's primary sources of cash during the nine months ended September
30, 2002 included funds generated from operations, proceeds from sales of
reserves and related assets, proceeds from new borrowings and proceeds
from sales of treasury stock. Primary cash outflows included funds used
in operations, exploration and development expenditures, dividends and
common stock repurchases.
Net operating cash inflows of $463.0 million for the first nine months
of 2002 decreased from $1,053.4 million as compared to the first nine
months of 2001 primarily attributable to lower average natural gas and
liquids prices, partially offset by lower cash operating expenses.
Net investing cash outflows of approximately $658.2 million for the
first nine months of 2002 decreased from $803.8 million versus the
comparable prior year period due primarily to lower exploration and
development expenditures partially offset by increased uses of working
capital related to investing activities. Changes in Components of Working
Capital Associated with Investing Activities included changes in accounts
payable associated with the accrual of exploration and development
expenditures and changes in inventories which represent materials and
equipment used in drilling and related activities.
Exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of
2002 and 2001 were as follows (in millions):
2002 2001
United States $433 $654
Canada 149 143
North America 582 797
Trinidad 33 39
Other - 8
Subtotal 615 844
Deferred Income Taxes 12 50
TOTAL $627 $894
Total exploration and development expenditures of $627 million for the
first nine months of 2002 were $267 million, or 30% lower than the
comparable prior year period due primarily to decreased United States
development and exploratory activities. Included in the 2002 expenditures
are $408 million in development, $151 million for exploration, $49 million
in property acquisitions, $12 million in deferred income taxes and $7
million in capitalized interest.
The level of exploration and development expenditures varies 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.
Cash provided by financing activities was $200.4 million for the first
nine months of 2002 versus cash used of $258.5 million for the comparable
prior year period. Financing activities for 2002 included new borrowings
of $234.9 million, cash dividend payments of $21.9 million, proceeds from
sales of treasury stock attributable to employee stock option exercises of
$13.8 million and common stock repurchases of $24.3 million. New
borrowings included $100.0 million of commerical paper borrowings, an
issuance of a $100.0 million subsidiary note and $34.9 million of
borrowings from the uncommitted line of credit.

In July 2002, the $300 million credit facility that was scheduled to
expire was renewed at the same commitment level for a period of one year,
which is the same period as the last renewal of this facility. This
facility commits the banks to advance funds for a period up to and
including July 23, 2003, with any outstanding balances under this facility
maturing July 23, 2004. EOG has not drawn any funds under this facility.
On October 30, 2002, EOG entered into a Senior Unsecured Term Loan
Facility (the "Facility") with a group of banks whereby the banks agreed
to lend EOG $150 million with a maturity of three years. EOG will use the
loan proceeds under this Facility to reduce outstanding commercial paper
and uncommitted bank line borrowings. This Facility calls for interest to
be charged at a spread over LIBOR or the Base rate at EOG's option, and
contains the same covenants as those in EOG's $300 million Long-Term
Revolving Credit Agreement. EOG expects to draw under the Facility prior
to November 15, 2002.
During the second and third quarters of 2002, EOG, through a
subsidiary, invested in and currently owns an approximate 31% equity
interest in a Trinidad company named Nitrogen 2000 Unlimited ("Nitro").
The other shareholders in Nitro are subsidiaries of Ferrostaal AG,
Halliburton and Clico Energy Company Limited. At September 30, 2002, the
investment in Nitro was approximately $13.6 million, with additional
equity payments of $14.1 million due over the next 20 months. Nitro is
constructing an ammonia plant in Trinidad which is expected to commence
production around 2005. Upon funding, Nitro will have a long-term debt
balance of approximately $228.0 million, which will be non-recourse to
Nitro's shareholders. EOG will be liable for its share of any pre-
completion deficiency funds loans to fund plant cost overruns up to $15
million, approximately $4.6 million of which is net to EOG's interest.
EOG will also be liable for its share of any post-completion deficiency
funds loans to fund the costs of operation, payment of principal and
interest to the principal creditor and other cash deficiencies of Nitro up
to $30 million, approximately $9.2 million of which is net to EOG's
interest. The Shareholders' Agreement requires the consent of the holders
of 90% or more of the shares to take certain material actions.
Accordingly, given its current level of equity ownership, EOG is able to
exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies
of Nitro and therefore, accounts for the investment using the equity
method.
Based upon existing economic and market conditions, management believes
net operating cash flow and available financing alternatives will be
sufficient to fund net investing and other cash requirements of EOG for
the foreseeable future.
As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial
statements included in EOG's 2001 Annual Report, EOG engages in price risk
management activities from time to time. Derivative financial instruments
(primarily price swaps and collars) are utilized selectively to hedge the
impact of market fluctuations on natural gas and crude oil prices. During
the first nine months of 2002, EOG elected not to designate any of its
price risk management activities as accounting hedges, and accordingly,
accounted for them using the mark-to-market accounting method.
At September 30, 2002, EOG had outstanding price swap contracts
covering notional volumes of 200,000 million British thermal units per day
("MMBtu/d") of natural gas for October 2002 at an average price of $3.13
per million British thermal units ("MMBtu") and 75,000 MMBtu/d of natural
gas for the months of November 2002 and December 2002 at an average price
of $3.35 per MMBtu. At September 30, 2002, the fair value of these
natural gas price swap contracts was a negative $7.8 million.
At September 30, 2002, EOG had outstanding costless collar contracts
that set a floor price of $3.10 per MMBtu and ceiling prices that averaged
$3.43 per MMBtu covering notional volumes of 100,000 MMBtu/d of natural
gas for October 2002. At September 30, 2002, the fair value of these
costless collar contracts was a negative $0.7 million.
At September 30, 2002, EOG had outstanding price swap contracts
covering notional volumes of two thousand barrels per day of crude oil and
condensate for the period October 2002 to December 2002 at a price of
$21.50 per barrel. At September 30, 2002, the fair value of these oil
price swap contracts was a negative $1.6 million.
On October 17, 2002, EOG entered into crude oil price swap contracts
covering notional volumes of one thousand barrels per day of crude oil at
an average price of $25.89 per barrel for the year 2003. EOG will account
for these crude oil price swap contracts using the mark-to-market
accounting method.
On October 23, 2002, EOG entered into collar contracts that set an
average floor price of $3.67 per MMBtu and an average ceiling price of
$5.25 per MMBtu at a premium of $0.10 per MMBtu covering notional volumes
of 50,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas for the year 2003. EOG will account for
these collar contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.

EOG RESOURCES, INC.
As discussed in more detail in Item 1 of EOG's Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999, under the heading "Relationship Between the
Company and Enron Corp.", following the closing on August 16, 1999, of the
Share Exchange between EOG and Enron Corp. ("Enron"), Enron issued to
investors promissory notes that are mandatorily exchangeable at maturity
into a maximum of 11.5 million shares of EOG common stock, which
constituted all of Enron's remaining shares in EOG on the date the notes
were issued. According to the prospectus for the notes, the notes are
unsecured general corporate obligations of Enron. The maturity date for
the notes was July 31, 2002. In light of Enron's bankruptcy, EOG believes
it is unlikely that the notes will be exchanged for EOG common stock.
According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
11.5 million shares of EOG common stock formerly held by Enron are
currently held by an affiliate of Enron. By an order entered on June 21,
2002, the bankruptcy judge in the Enron bankruptcy case authorized the
sale of the 11.5 million shares of EOG common stock in a manner specified
in the judge's order, with the proceeds to be placed into escrow. The
timing of the sale is to be determined by a committee of interested
parties that does not include EOG. The entire 11.5 million shares have
been included in EOG's outstanding common shares.
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 increase reserves, 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 and
interest rates; 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; political
developments around the world, including terrorist activities and
responses to such activities; and financial market conditions. In light
of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by
EOG's forward-looking statements might not occur. EOG undertakes no
obligations to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
