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, 2022, filed on February 23, 2023 (EOG's 2022 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, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.    Stock-Based Compensation

As more fully discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2022 Annual Report, EOG maintains various stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based upon the job function of the employees receiving the grants as follows (in millions):

Total$35 $30 $69 $65 

EOG's stockholders approved the EOG Resources, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (2021 Plan) at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Therefore, no further grants were made from the Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (2008 Plan) from and after the April 29, 2021 effective date of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and restricted stock units, restricted stock units with performance-based conditions (together with the performance units granted under the 2008 Plan, Performance Units) and other stock-based awards, up to an aggregate maximum of 20 million shares of common stock, plus any shares that were subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan as of April 29, 2021, that are subsequently canceled, forfeited, expire or are otherwise not issued or are settled in cash. Under the 2021 Plan, grants may be made to employees and non-employee members of EOG's Board of Directors (Board).

At June 30, 2023, approximately 17 million common shares remained available for grant under the 2021 Plan. EOG's policy is to issue shares related to the 2021 Plan grants from previously authorized unissued shares or treasury shares to the extent treasury shares are available.

Stock Options and Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of stock option grants and SAR grants is estimated using the Hull-White II binomial option pricing model. The fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $6 million and $8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $12 million and $17 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

EOG did not grant any stock options or SARs during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value stock options and SARs granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and ESPP grants during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
 Stock Options/SARsESPP
Six Months Ended
June 30,
Six Months Ended

Weighted Average Fair Value of Grants$28.30 $32.31 $23.07

Risk-Free Interest Rate0.89 %4.66 %0.22 %
Dividend Yield3.28 %2.47 %3.32 %
Expected Life5.3 years0.5 years0.5 years

Expected volatility is based on an equal weighting of historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options in EOG's common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based upon United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. The expected life is based upon historical experience and contractual terms of stock option, SAR and ESPP grants.

At June 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $22 million. Such unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 0.9 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Employees may be granted restricted (non-vested) stock and/or restricted stock units without cost to them. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units totaled $27 million and $20 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $52 million and $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(1)The total intrinsic value of restricted stock and restricted stock units released during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $8 million and $91 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is based upon the closing price of EOG's common stock on the date the restricted stock and restricted stock units are released.
(2)The total intrinsic value of restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding at June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $464 million and $427 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units totaled $238 million. Such unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

Performance Units. EOG grants Performance Units annually to its executive officers without cost to them. For the grants made prior to September 2022, as more fully discussed in the grant agreements, the applicable performance metric is EOG's total shareholder return (TSR) over a three-year performance period relative to the TSR over the same period of a designated group of peer companies. Upon the application of the applicable performance multiple at the completion of the three-year performance period, a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 200% of the Performance Units granted could be outstanding.

For the grants made beginning in September 2022, as more fully discussed in the grant agreements, the applicable performance metrics are 1) EOG's TSR over a three-year performance period relative to the TSR over the same period of a designated group of peer companies and 2) EOG's average return on capital employed (ROCE) over the three-year performance period. At the end of the three-year performance period, a performance multiple based on EOG's relative TSR ranking will be determined, with a minimum performance multiple of 0% and a maximum performance multiple of 200%. A specified modifier ranging from -70% to +70% will then be applied to the performance multiple based on EOG's average ROCE over the three-year performance period, provided that in no event shall the performance multiple, after applying the ROCE modifier, be less than 0% or exceed 200%. Furthermore, if EOG's TSR over the three-year performance period is negative (i.e., less than 0%), the performance multiple will be capped at 100%, regardless of EOG's relative TSR ranking or three-year average ROCE.

The fair value of the Performance Units is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Unit grants totaled $2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $5 million and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

8.    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.

9.    Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Pension Plans. EOG has a defined contribution pension plan in place for most of its employees in the United States. EOG's contributions to the pension plan are based on various percentages of compensation and, in some instances, are based upon the amount of the employees' contributions. EOG's total costs recognized for the pension plan were $28 million and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, EOG's Trinidadian subsidiary maintains a contributory defined benefit pension plan and a matched savings plan, both of which are available to most of the employees of the Trinidadian subsidiary, the costs of which are not material.

Postretirement Health Care. EOG has postretirement medical and dental benefits in place for eligible United States and Trinidad employees and their eligible dependents, the costs of which are not material.

10.    Long-Term Debt and Common Stock

Long-Term Debt. EOG had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and did not utilize any commercial paper borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

On March 15, 2023, EOG repaid upon maturity the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.625% Senior Notes due 2023.

On June 7, 2023, EOG entered into a $1.9 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (New Facility) with domestic and foreign lenders (Banks). The New Facility replaces EOG's $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2019, with domestic and foreign lenders (2019 Facility), which had a scheduled maturity date of June 27, 2024 and was terminated by EOG (without penalty), effective as of June 7, 2023, in connection with the completion of the New Facility.

The New Facility has a scheduled maturity date of June 7, 2028 and includes an option for EOG to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods, subject to, among certain other terms and conditions, the consent of the Banks holding greater than 50% of the commitments then outstanding under the New Facility. The New Facility commits the Banks to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion outstanding at any given time, with an option for EOG to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $3.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions. The New Facility also includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility. Advances under the New Facility will accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.1% plus an applicable margin, or the Base Rate (as defined in the New Facility) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees will be based on EOG's credit rating for its senior unsecured long-term debt at the applicable time.

Consistent with the terms of the 2019 Facility, the New Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that EOG believes are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization (as such terms are defined in the New Facility) of no greater than 65%. At June 30, 2023, EOG was in compliance with this financial covenant.

There were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the 2019 Facility as of (i) December 31, 2022 or (ii) the June 7, 2023 effective date of the closing of the New Facility and termination of the 2019 Facility. Further, at June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the New Facility. The SOFR and Base Rate (inclusive of the applicable margin), had there been any amounts borrowed under the New Facility at June 30, 2023, would have been 6.14% and 8.25%, respectively.

Common Stock. In November 2021, the Board established a new share repurchase authorization that allows for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock (November 2021 Authorization). Under the November 2021 Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The November 2021 Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Board at any time. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, EOG repurchased 2.8 million and 5.7 million shares of common stock, respectively, for approximately $300 million and $610 million (inclusive of transaction fees and commissions), respectively, pursuant to the November 2021 Authorization. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $4.4 billion remained available for repurchases under the November 2021 Authorization. Included in the Treasury Stock Repurchased amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are $5 million of estimated federal excise taxes.

On February 23, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.825 per share, paid on April 28, 2023, to stockholders of record as of April 14, 2023. The Board also declared on such date a special cash dividend on the common stock of $1.00 per share, paid on March 30, 2023, to stockholders of record as of March 16, 2023.

On May 4, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.825 per share paid on July 31, 2023, to stockholders of record as of July 17, 2023.

11.    Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. As more fully discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2022 Annual Report, certain of EOG's financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table provides fair value measurement information within the fair value hierarchy for certain of EOG's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions):

See Note 12 for the balance sheet amounts and classification of EOG's financial commodity derivative instruments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The estimated fair value of financial commodity derivative contracts was based upon forward commodity price curves based on quoted market prices. Financial commodity derivative contracts were valued by utilizing an independent third-party derivative valuation provider who uses various types of valuation models, as applicable.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and is 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.

When circumstances indicate that proved oil and gas properties may be impaired, EOG compares expected undiscounted future cash flows at a depreciation, depletion and amortization group level to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows, based on EOG's estimate of (and assumptions regarding) significant Level 3 inputs, including future crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas prices, operating costs, development expenditures, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally calculated using the Income Approach described in the FASB's Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. In certain instances, EOG utilizes accepted offers from third-party purchasers as the basis for determining fair value.

EOG utilized average prices per acre from comparable market transactions and estimated discounted cash flows as the basis for determining the fair value of unproved and proved properties, respectively, received in non-cash property exchanges. See Note 4.

Fair Value Disclosures. EOG's financial instruments, other than financial commodity derivative contracts, consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, EOG had outstanding $3,640 million and $4,890 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which had estimated fair values at such dates of approximately $3,526 million and $4,740 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.

12.    Risk Management Activities

Commodity Price Risk. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2022 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, NGLs 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.

Financial Commodity Derivative Contracts. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's financial commodity derivative contracts settled during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 (closed) and outstanding as of June 30, 2023. Crude oil volumes are presented in thousand barrels per day (MBbld) and prices are presented in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl).

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 exposures 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 both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. EOG had no collateral posted and no collateral held at June 30, 2023. EOG had $324 million of collateral posted and no collateral held at December 31, 2022. EOG had no collateral posted and no collateral held at August 2, 2023.

13.  Acquisitions and Divestitures

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, EOG paid cash of $135 million, primarily to acquire a gathering and processing system in the Powder River Basin. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, EOG recognized net gains on asset dispositions of $60 million and received proceeds of $121 million, primarily due to the sale of EOG's equity interest in ammonia plant investments in Trinidad, along with the sale of certain legacy assets in the Texas Panhandle.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, EOG paid cash for property acquisitions of $351 million in the United States. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, EOG recognized net gains on asset dispositions of $122 million and received proceeds of $231 million, primarily due to the sale of certain legacy natural gas assets in the Rocky Mountain area and producing properties in the Mid-Continent area.

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 and Trinidad. 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 maximize long-term shareholder value and maintain a strong balance sheet. EOG implements its strategy primarily by emphasizing the drilling of internally generated prospects in order to find and develop low-cost reserves. Maintaining the lowest possible operating cost structure, coupled with efficient and safe operations and robust environmental stewardship practices and performance, is integral in the implementation of EOG's strategy.

Commodity Prices. Prices for crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas have historically been volatile. This volatility is expected to continue due to the many uncertainties associated with the world political and economic environment and the global supply of, and demand for, crude oil, NGLs and natural gas and the availability of other energy supplies, the relative competitive relationships of the various energy sources in the view of consumers and other factors.

The market prices of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas impact the amount of cash generated from EOG's operating activities, which, in turn, impact EOG's financial position and results of operations.

For the first six months of 2023, the average U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil and natural gas prices were $74.92 per barrel and $2.76 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, representing decreases of 26% and 54%, respectively, from the average NYMEX prices for the same period in 2022. Market prices for NGLs are influenced by the components extracted, including ethane, propane and butane and natural gasoline, among others, and the respective market pricing for each component.

Inflation Considerations; Availability of Materials, Labor & Services. Beginning in the second half of 2021 and continuing, to a lesser degree, through the first three months of 2023, EOG, similar to other companies in its industry, has experienced inflationary pressures on its operating and capital costs - namely the costs of fuel, steel (i.e., wellbore tubulars and facilities manufactured using steel), labor and drilling and completion services. Such inflationary pressures have resulted from (i) supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting limited availability of certain materials and products manufactured using such materials; (ii) increased demand for fuel and steel; (iii) increased demand for drilling and completion services coupled with a limited number of available service providers, resulting in increased competition for such services among EOG and other companies in its industry; (iv) labor shortages; and (v) other factors, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine which began in late February 2022. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, EOG has seen these inflationary pressures diminish and, in certain circumstances, seen a decline in prices. However, the market for such materials, services and labor continues to fluctuate and, as a result, the timing and impact of any price changes on EOG's future operating and capital costs is uncertain.

Such inflationary pressures on EOG's operating and capital costs have, in turn, impacted its cash flows and results of operations. However, by virtue of its continued focus on increasing its drilling, completion and operating efficiencies and improving the performance of its wells, as well as the flexibility provided by its multi-basin drilling portfolio, EOG has, to date, been able to largely offset such impacts. EOG currently expects such inflationary pressures to result in an increase of approximately 10 percent in its fiscal year 2023 well costs (i.e., its costs for drilling, completions and well-site facilities) versus fiscal year 2022. Accordingly, such increase in EOG's fiscal year 2023 well costs did not have a material impact on EOG's second quarter 2023 cash flows, and EOG currently does not expect such increase to have a material impact on its full-year 2023 cash flows. Further, such inflationary pressures and the factors contributing to such inflationary pressures (described above) have not, to date, impacted EOG's results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, cash requirements or financial position or its ability to conduct its day-to-day drilling, completion and production operations.

-21-

    


The initiatives EOG has undertaken (and continues to undertake) to increase its drilling, completion and operating efficiencies and improve the performance of its wells and, in turn, mitigate such inflationary pressures, include (among others): (i) EOG's downhole drilling motor program, which has resulted in increased footage drilled per day and, in turn, reduced drilling times; (ii) enhanced techniques for completing its wells, which has resulted in increased footage completed per day and pumping hours per day; and (iii) EOG's self-sourced sand program, which has resulted in continued cost savings for the sand utilized in its well completion operations. In addition, EOG enters into agreements with its service providers from time to time, when available and advantageous, to secure the costs and availability of certain drilling and completion services it utilizes as part of its operations.

EOG plans to continue with these initiatives and actions, though there can be no assurance that such efforts will offset, largely or at all, the impacts of any future inflationary pressures on EOG's operating and capital costs, cash flows and results of operations. Further, there can be no assurance that the factors contributing to any future inflationary pressures will not impact EOG's ability to conduct its future day-to-day drilling, completion and production operations.

Climate Change. For discussion of climate change matters and related regulatory matters, including potential developments related to climate change and the potential impacts and risks of such developments on EOG, see ITEM 1A. Risk Factors, and the related discussion in ITEM 1. Business - Regulation, of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed on February 23, 2023 (EOG's 2022 Annual Report). EOG will continue to monitor and assess any climate change-related developments that could impact EOG and the oil and gas industry, to determine the impact on its business and operations, and take appropriate actions where necessary.

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 condensate, NGLs and natural gas production. EOG has placed an emphasis on applying its horizontal drilling and completion expertise to unconventional crude oil plays and natural gas plays.

During the first six months of 2023, EOG continued to focus on increasing drilling, completion and operating efficiencies, to improve well performance and, as is further discussed above, to mitigate inflationary pressures on its operating and capital costs (e.g., costs for fuel and tubulars). In addition, EOG continued to evaluate certain potential crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas exploration and development prospects and to look for opportunities to add drilling inventory through leasehold acquisitions, farm-ins, exchanges or tactical or bolt-on acquisitions. On a volumetric basis, as calculated using a 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 NGLs production accounted for approximately 73% and 75% of EOG's United States production during the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the first six months of 2023, EOG's drilling and completion activities occurred primarily in the Delaware Basin play, Eagle Ford play and Rocky Mountain area. EOG's major producing areas in the United States are in New Mexico and Texas.

Trinidad. In the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad), EOG continues to deliver natural gas under existing supply contracts. Several fields in the South East Coast Consortium Block, Modified U(a) Block, Block 4(a), the Banyan Field and the Sercan 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 Heritage Petroleum Company Limited (Heritage).

EOG expects to commence drilling in the third quarter of 2023 from the recently completed platform in the Modified U(a) Block where it expects to complete three development wells and one exploratory well from this platform in 2023. Additionally, in the first half of 2023, EOG completed the design phase for the platform and related facilities in the Mento Area and expects to make significant construction progress during the second half of 2023.

Also, in the first half of 2023, EOG sold its equity interest in its ammonia plant investments.

Other International. In November 2021, a subsidiary of EOG was granted an exploration permit for the WA-488-P Block, located offshore Western Australia. In the first half of 2023, EOG continued to prepare for the drilling of an exploration well which is expected to commence in 2024, subject to statutory approvals and equipment availability.

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.

2023 Capital and Operating Plan. Total 2023 capital expenditures are estimated to range from approximately $5.8 billion to $6.2 billion, including facilities and gathering, processing, transportation and other expenditures, and excluding acquisitions, non-cash transactions and exploration costs. EOG plans to continue to focus a substantial portion of its exploration and development expenditures in its major producing areas in the United States. In particular, EOG will be focused on United States drilling activity in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford play, Rocky Mountain area and Dorado gas play where it generates its highest rates of return. To further enhance the economics of these plays, EOG expects to continue to improve well performance and to mitigate inflationary pressures on its operating and capital costs (e.g., costs for fuel and tubulars) through efficiency gains; see the above related discussion. Full-year 2023 total crude oil, NGLs and natural gas production is expected to increase modestly versus 2022. In addition, EOG plans to continue to spend a portion of its anticipated 2023 capital expenditures on leasing acreage, evaluating new prospects, transportation infrastructure and environmental projects.

Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history. When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer incremental exploration and/or production opportunities.

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 13% and 17% at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.

At June 30, 2023, EOG maintained a strong financial and liquidity position, including $4.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $1.9 billion of availability under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility (discussed below).

On June 7, 2023, EOG entered into a $1.9 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (New Facility) with domestic and foreign lenders. The New Facility replaces EOG's $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2019, with domestic and foreign lenders, which had a scheduled maturity date of June 27, 2024 and was terminated by EOG (without penalty), effective as of June 7, 2023, in connection with the completion of the New Facility.

On March 15, 2023, EOG repaid upon maturity the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.625% Senior Notes due 2023.

EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives, including borrowings under its commercial paper program, bank borrowings, borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, joint development agreements and similar agreements and equity and debt offerings.

Cash Return Framework. EOG maintains quantitative guidance as part of its cash return framework - specifically, a commitment to return a minimum of 60% of annual net cash provided by operating activities before certain balance sheet-related changes, less total capital expenditures, to stockholders, through a combination of quarterly dividends, special dividends and share repurchases. For discussion regarding our payment of dividends, see ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, and ITEM 5, Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities, of EOG's 2022 Annual Report. For discussion regarding our share repurchases conducted during the second quarter of 2023 and our share repurchase authorization, see Part II, Item 2., Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Dividend Declarations. On February 23, 2023, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.825 per share, paid on April 28, 2023, to stockholders of record as of April 14, 2023. The Board also declared on such date a special dividend on the common stock of $1.00 per share, paid on March 30, 2023, to stockholders of record as of March 16, 2023.

On May 4, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.825 per share paid on July 31, 2023, to stockholders of record as of July 17, 2023.

On August 3, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.825 per share payable on October 31, 2023, to stockholders of record as of October 17, 2023.

Share Repurchases. In November 2021, the Board established a new share repurchase authorization that allows for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock (November 2021 Authorization). Under the November 2021 Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The November 2021 Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Board at any time. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, EOG repurchased 2.8 million and 5.7 million shares of common stock, respectively, for approximately $300 million and $610 million (inclusive of transaction fees and commissions), respectively, pursuant to the November 2021 Authorization. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $4.4 billion remained available for repurchases under the November 2021 Authorization. Included in the Treasury Stock Repurchased amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are $5 million of estimated federal excise taxes.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $1,447 million, or 31%, to $3,252 million from $4,699 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was due to a lower composite average price ($1,568 million), partially offset by an increase of 12.5 MBbld, or 3%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($121 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin, partially offset by decreased production in the Eagle Ford play and the Rocky Mountain area. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 33% to $74.97 per barrel compared to $111.25 per barrel for the same period of 2022.

NGL revenues for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $368 million, or 47%, to $409 million from $777 million for the same period of 2022 due to a lower composite average price ($419 million), partially offset by an increase of 13.8 MBbld, or 7%, in NGL deliveries ($51 million). Increased production was primarily from the Permian Basin, partially offset by decreased production from the Eagle Ford play. EOG's composite NGL price for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 51% to $20.85 per barrel compared to $42.28 per barrel for the same period of 2022.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $666 million, or 67%, to $334 million from $1,000 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was due to a lower composite average price ($752 million), partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries ($86 million). Natural gas deliveries for the second quarter of 2023 increased 140 MMcfd, or 9%, compared to the same period of 2022 due primarily to increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and higher deliveries in the Dorado gas play, partially offset by lower natural gas deliveries in Trinidad and decreased production of associated natural gas from the Eagle Ford play. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 69% to $2.20 per Mcf compared to $7.19 per Mcf for the same period of 2022.

During the second quarter of 2023, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $101 million compared to net losses of $1,377 million for the same period of 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $30 million compared to net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts of $2,114 million for the same period of 2022.

Gathering, processing and marketing revenues are revenues generated from sales of third-party crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as 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 may be utilized in order to balance firm capacity at third-party facilities with production in certain areas and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities. EOG sells sand primarily in order to balance the timing of firm purchase agreements with completion operations. Marketing costs represent the costs to purchase third-party crude oil, natural gas and sand 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 2023 decreased $33 million as compared to the same period of 2022 primarily due to lower margins on crude oil marketing activities.

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, gathering and processing costs, DD&A, G&A and interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, are set forth below. See "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, produced 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 $348 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased $24 million from $324 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs ($20 million) and increased lease and well administrative expenses ($6 million), partially offset by decreased workover expenditures ($5 million), all in the United States. Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.

Transportation costs represent costs associated with the delivery of hydrocarbon products from the lease or an aggregation point on EOG's gathering system to a downstream point of sale. Transportation costs include transportation fees, storage and terminal fees, the cost of compression (the cost of compressing natural gas to meet pipeline pressure requirements), the cost of dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees and fuel costs.

Transportation costs of $236 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $8 million from $244 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased transportation costs related to production from the Eagle Ford play ($12 million), partially offset by increased transportation costs related to production from the Permian Basin ($6 million).

Gathering and processing costs represent operating and maintenance expenses and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's gathering and processing assets as well as natural gas processing fees and certain NGL fractionation fees paid to third parties. EOG pays third parties to process the majority of its natural gas production to extract NGLs.

-28-

    



Gathering and processing costs increased $8 million to $160 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $152 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased gathering and processing fees ($6 million) related to production from the Permian Basin and increased operating and maintenance expenses ($6 million) related to production from the Rocky Mountain area, partially offset by decreased operating and maintenance expenses related to production from the Eagle Ford play ($6 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 2023 decreased $45 million to $866 million from $911 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the second quarter of 2023 were $53 million lower than the same prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects decreased unit rates in the United States ($110 million), partially offset by increased production in the United States ($55 million). Unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions related to favorable well performance, increased ethane recovery and reserve additions at lower costs per Boe during the quarter.

G&A expenses of $142 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased $14 million from $128 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased employee-related costs.

Interest expense, net of $35 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $13 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the repayment in March 2023 of the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Senior Notes due 2023 ($9 million) and decreased interest expense on certain royalty payments ($4 million).

Exploration costs of $47 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased $12 million from $35 million for the same prior year period due primarily to increased geological and geophysical expenditures 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 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. Unproved properties with individually significant acquisition costs are reviewed individually for impairment. 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, based on EOG's estimates of (and assumptions regarding) future crude oil, NGLs and natural gas prices, operating costs, development expenditures, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, 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 offers from third-party purchasers as the basis for determining fair value.

The following table represents impairments for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022 (in millions):

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 2023 decreased $159 million to $313 million (7.8% of wellhead revenues) from $472 million (7.3% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The decrease in taxes other than income was primarily due to decreased severance/production taxes ($172 million) and increased state severance tax refunds ($3 million), partially offset by increased ad valorem/property taxes ($17 million), all in the United States.

Other income, net was $51 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to other income, net of $27 million for the same prior year period. The change of $24 million in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to increased interest income ($47 million), partially offset by the absence of equity income due to the sale of EOG's equity interest in ammonia plant investments in Trinidad in the first quarter of 2023 ($15 million) and increased deferred compensation expense ($8 million).

EOG recognized an income tax provision of $433 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to an income tax provision of $644 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreased pretax income.  The net effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was unchanged from the prior year period rate of 22%.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Operating Revenues. During the first six months of 2023, operating revenues increased $227 million, or 2%, to $11,617 million from $11,390 million for the same period of 2022. Total wellhead revenues for the first six months of 2023 decreased $3,578 million, or 30%, to $8,184 million from $11,762 million for the same period of 2022. During the first six months of 2023, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $477 million compared to net losses of $4,197 million for the same period of 2022. Gathering, processing and marketing revenues for the first six months of 2023 decreased $783 million, or 22%, to $2,855 million from $3,638 million for the same period of 2022. Net gains on asset dispositions were $60 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to net gains of $122 million for the same period of 2022.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first six months of 2023 decreased $2,154 million, or 25%, to $6,434 million from $8,588 million for the same period of 2022 due to a lower composite average price ($2,341 million), partially offset by an increase of 10.0 MBbld, or 2%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($187 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin, partially offset by decreased production in the Eagle Ford play and the Rocky Mountain area. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first six months of 2023 decreased 27% to $76.09 per barrel compared to $103.78 per barrel for the same period of 2022.

NGL revenues for the first six months of 2023 decreased $559 million, or 38%, to $899 million from $1,458 million for the same period of 2022 due to a lower composite average price ($690 million), partially offset by an increase of 17.8 MBbld, or 9%, in NGL deliveries ($131 million). Increased production was primarily from the Permian Basin, partially offset by decreased production from the Eagle Ford play. EOG's composite NGL price for the first six months of 2023 decreased 43% to $23.23 per barrel compared to $41.07 per barrel for the same period of 2022.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first six months of 2023 decreased $865 million, or 50%, to $851 million from $1,716 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was due to a lower composite average price ($1,049 million), partially offset by an increase in natural gas deliveries ($184 million). Natural gas deliveries for the first six months of 2023 increased 161 MMcfd, or 11%, compared to the same period of 2022 due primarily to increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin and higher deliveries in the Dorado gas play, partially offset by lower natural gas deliveries in Trinidad and decreased production of associated natural gas from the Eagle Ford play. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the first six months of 2023 decreased 55% to $2.84 per Mcf compared to $6.35 per Mcf for the same period of 2022.

During the first six months of 2023, EOG recognized net gains on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $477 million compared to net losses of $4,197 million for the same period of 2022. During the first six months of 2023, net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $153 million. Net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $2,410 million for the same period of 2022.

Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the first six months of 2023 decreased $190 million as compared to the same period of 2022 primarily due to lower margins on crude oil marketing activities.

Operating and Other Expenses. For the first six months of 2023, operating expenses of $7,075 million were $866 million lower than the $7,941 million incurred during the same period of 2022. The following table presents the costs per Boe for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, gathering and processing costs, DD&A, G&A and interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022 are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.


-32-

    


Lease and well expenses of $707 million for the first six months of 2023 increased $65 million from $642 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($46 million) and Trinidad ($5 million) and increased lease and well administrative expenses in the United States ($15 million). Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.

Gathering and processing costs increased $23 million to $319 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $296 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased gathering and processing fees related to production from the Permian Basin ($20 million) and increased operating and maintenance expenses related to production from the Permian Basin ($12 million) and the Rocky Mountain area ($7 million), partially offset by decreased gathering and processing fees related to production from the Rocky Mountain area ($10 million) and decreased operating and maintenance expenses related to production from the Eagle Ford play ($6 million).

DD&A expenses for the first six months of 2023 decreased $94 million to $1,664 million from $1,758 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first six months of 2023 were $102 million lower than the same prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects decreased unit rates in the United States ($222 million), partially offset by increased production in the United States ($117 million). Unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions related to favorable well performance, increased ethane recovery and reserves added at lower cost per Boe during the year.

G&A expenses of $287 million for the first six months of 2023 increased $35 million from $252 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased employee-related costs.

Interest expense, net of $77 million for the first six months of 2023 decreased $19 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the repayment in March 2023 of the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Senior Notes due 2023 ($10 million) and decreased interest expense on certain royalty payments ($8 million).

Exploration costs of $97 million for the first six months of 2023 increased $17 million from $80 million for the same prior year period due primarily to increased geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States.

The following table represents impairments for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):

Taxes other than income for the first six months of 2023 decreased $220 million to $642 million (7.8% of wellhead revenues) from $862 million (7.3% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The decrease in taxes other than income was primarily due to decreased severance/production taxes ($227 million) and increased state severance tax refunds ($4 million), partially offset by increased ad valorem/property taxes ($16 million), all in the United States.

Other income, net was $116 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to other income, net of $26 million for the same prior year period. The change of $90 million in the first six months of 2023 was primarily due to increased interest income ($107 million) and decreased deferred compensation expense ($7 million), partially offset by the absence of equity income due to the sale of EOG's equity interest in ammonia plant investments in Trinidad in the first quarter of 2023 ($28 million).

EOG recognized an income tax provision of $1,005 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to an income tax provision of $751 million for the first six months of 2022, primarily due to increased pretax income. The net effective tax rate for the first six months of 2023 was unchanged from the prior year period tax rate of 22%.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash Flow. The primary sources of cash for EOG during the six months ended June 30, 2023, were funds generated from operations and proceeds from sales of assets. The primary uses of cash were exploration and development expenditures; funds used in operations; dividend payments to stockholders; repayment of maturing debt; purchases of treasury stock; and other property, plant and equipment expenditures. During the first six months of 2023, EOG's cash balance decreased $1,208 million to $4,764 million from $5,972 million at December 31, 2022.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $5,532 million for the first six months of 2023 increased $2,656 million compared to the same period of 2022 primarily due to a decrease in net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts ($2,257 million), net cash provided by a change in collateral posted for financial commodity derivative contracts ($2,090 million), net cash provided by working capital and other assets and liabilities in the first six months of 2023 ($76 million) compared to net cash used in working capital and other assets and liabilities in the first six months of 2022 ($1,164 million) and a decrease in net cash paid for income taxes ($941 million), partially offset by a decrease in wellhead revenues ($3,578 million) and a decrease in gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs ($190 million).

Net cash used in investing activities of $3,309 million for the first six months of 2023 increased $866 million compared to the same period of 2022 due to an increase in additions to oil and gas properties ($358 million), an increase in additions to other property, plant and equipment ($354 million), a decrease in proceeds from the sale of assets ($110 million) and net cash used in working capital associated with investing activities in the first six months of 2023 ($285 million) compared to net cash used in working capital associated with investing activities in the first six months of 2022 ($211 million), partially offset by a decrease in other investing activities ($30 million).

Net cash used in financing activities of $3,431 million for the first six months of 2023 included cash dividend payments ($1,547 million), repayments of long-term debt ($1,250 million), purchases of treasury stock ($619 million) and repayment of finance lease liabilities ($16 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $2,569 million for the first six months of 2022 included cash dividend payments ($2,509 million), purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($58 million) and repayment of finance lease liabilities ($19 million).

Total Expenditures. For the full-year 2023, EOG's updated budget for exploration and development and other property, plant and equipment expenditures is estimated to range from approximately $5.8 billion to $6.2 billion, excluding acquisitions, non-cash transactions and exploration costs. The table below sets out components of total expenditures for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):

Total Expenditures$3,381 $2,665 
(1)    Exploration and development drilling included $35 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, related to non-cash development drilling.
(2)    Leasehold acquisitions included $59 million and $79 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to non-cash property exchanges.
(3)    Property acquisitions included $9 million and $5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to non-cash property exchanges.
(4)    Other Property, Plant and Equipment included $134 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, related to the acquisition of a gathering and processing system in the Powder River Basin.

Exploration and development expenditures of $2,846 million for the first six months of 2023 were $396 million higher than the same period of 2022 primarily due to increased exploration and development drilling expenditures in the United States ($695 million) and increased facilities expenditures ($27 million), partially offset by decreased property acquisitions ($346 million). Exploration and development expenditures for the first six months of 2023 of $2,846 million consisted of $2,545 million in development drilling and facilities, $275 million in exploration, $16 million in capitalized interest and $10 million in property acquisitions. Exploration and development expenditures for the first six months of 2022 of $2,450 million consisted of $1,845 million in development drilling and facilities, $356 million in property acquisitions, $234 million in exploration and $15 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 economic factors. EOG believes it has significant flexibility and availability 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.

Financial Commodity Derivative Transactions. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2022 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. 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 Financial Commodity Derivative Contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. 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 financial commodity derivative contracts was reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2023, as a net liability of $296 million.

As discussed in "Operating Revenues and Other," the net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts during the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was $30 million and $153 million, respectively.

Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's financial commodity derivative contracts settled during the period from January 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023 (closed) and outstanding as of July 31, 2023. Crude oil volumes are presented in MBbld and prices are presented in $/Bbl. Natural gas volumes are presented in MMBtu per day (MMBtud) and prices are presented in dollars per MMBtu ($/MMBtu).

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 or 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.

(2)Effective November 4, 2021, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) established a new share repurchase authorization that allows for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock (November 2021 Authorization). As of the date of this filing, (i) EOG has repurchased an aggregate 5,709,234 shares at a total cost of $610,256,932 (inclusive of commissions and transaction fees) under the November 2021 Authorization and (ii) an additional $4,389,743,068 of shares may be purchased under the November 2021 Authorization.
(3)Under the November 2021 Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The November 2021 Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time.
