I. Third Quarter and Full Year 2005 Forecast
The forecast items for the third quarter and full year
2005 set forth below for EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) are based
on current available information and expectations as of the
date of this document. This forecast replaces and supersedes
any previously issued guidance or forecast.
Estimates are provided in the attached table, which is
incorporated by reference herein.
II. Forward-Looking Statements
This document 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. 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, foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates; the timing and impact
of liquefied natural gas imports and changes in demand or prices
for ammonia or methanol; 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; the
availability and cost of drilling rigs, experienced drilling
crews and tubular steel; the availability, terms and timing of
governmental and other permits and rights of way; the
availability of pipeline transportation capacity; the extent to
which EOG can replicate on its other Barnett Shale acreage
outside of Johnson and Parker Counties, Texas, the results of its
most recent Barnett Shale wells; whether EOG is successful in its
efforts to more densely develop its acreage in the Barnett Shale
and other production areas; political developments around the
world; acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts; 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.
