EOG RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General.  The 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 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, 2012, filed on February 22, 2013 (EOG's 2012 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards.  In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02 "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2013-02).  ASU 2013-02 amends ASU 2011-05 and requires that entities disclose additional information about amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) by component.  Significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI are required to be presented either on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income or in the notes to the financial statements.  The requirements of ASU 2013-02 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods in those years beginning after December 15, 2012.  EOG adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-02 effective January 1, 2013.  The adoption did not have a material impact on EOG's financial statements.  No significant amounts were reclassified out of AOCI during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" (ASU 2013-11).  ASU 2013-11 includes specific guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit  when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.  The requirements of ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods in those years beginning after December 15, 2013.  Early adoption is permitted.  EOG does not expect a material impact on its financial statements from the adoption of ASU 2013-11.

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, EOG's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (2008 Plan).  As more fully discussed in the 2008 Plan document, the 2008 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 15,500,000 shares of EOG common stock for grant under the 2008 Plan and extends the expiration date of the 2008 Plan to May 2023.

The 2008 Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance stock and other stock-based awards.  At September 30, 2013, approximately 16.6 million common shares remained available for grant under the 2008 Plan.  EOG's policy is to issue shares related to the 2008 Plan from either 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 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 $19.2 million and $16.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $40.0 million and $37.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value stock option, SAR and ESPP grants during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

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.

(1) The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $134.2 million and $110.8 million, respectively.  The intrinsic value is based upon the difference between the market price of EOG's common stock on the date of exercise and the grant price of the stock options/SARs.
(2) The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs outstanding at September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $332.3 million and $231.1 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 4.8 years and 4.1 years, respectively.
(3) The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs vested or expected to vest at September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $322.5 million and $227.3 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 4.7 years and 4.0 years, respectively.
(4) The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs exercisable at September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $202.4 million and $182.7 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 3.5 years and 2.7 years, respectively.

At September 30, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $115.5 million.  This unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.9 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 unit grants totaled $19.2 million and $23.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $55.5 million and $57.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(1) The total intrinsic value of restricted stock and restricted stock units released for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $89.2 million and $110.7 million, respectively.  The intrinsic value is based upon the closing price of EOG's common stock on the date restricted stock and restricted stock units are released.
(2) The total intrinsic value of restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding at September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $637.0 million and $438.6 million, respectively.
 
At September 30, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants totaled $171.8 million.  Such unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

Performance Units and Performance Stock.  EOG grants performance units and/or performance stock to its executive officers.  The fair value of the performance units and performance stock is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Stock-based compensation expense related to performance unit and performance stock grants totaled $7.1 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $7.7 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value performance unit and performance stock grants during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Expected volatility is based on the term-matched historical volatility over the simulated term, which is calculated as the time between the grant date and the end of the performance period.  The risk-free interest rate is based on a 3.26 year zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve on the grant date.

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

EOG has defined contribution pension plans in place for most of its employees in the United States, Canada, Trinidad and the United Kingdom, and defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its employees in Canada and Trinidad.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, EOG's total costs recognized for these pension plans were $28.9 million and $27.1 million, respectively.  EOG also has postretirement medical and dental plans in place for eligible employees in the United States and Trinidad, the costs of which are not material.

10. Long-Term Debt

Long-Term Debt.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, EOG utilized commercial paper, bearing market interest rates, for various corporate financing purposes.  EOG had no outstanding borrowings from commercial paper issuances at September 30, 2013.  The average of the borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program was $23 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The weighted average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 0.30 %.  At September 30, 2013, $350 million principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (Floating Rate Notes) and $150 million principal amount of 4.75 % Subsidiary Debt due 2014 (4.75 % Subsidiary Debt) were classified as long-term debt based upon EOG's intent and ability to ultimately replace such amounts with other long-term debt.  On October 1, 2013, EOG repaid, at maturity, the $400 million principal amount of its 6.125 % Senior Notes.

EOG currently has a $2.0 billion unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (Agreement) with domestic and foreign lenders.  The Agreement matures on October 11, 2016 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 Agreement.  At September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Agreement.  Advances under the Agreement accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate), or the base rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus an applicable margin.  At September 30, 2013, the Eurodollar rate and applicable base rate, had there been any amounts borrowed under the Agreement, would have been 1.05 % and 3.25 %, respectively.

Restricted Cash.  In May 2013, the Canadian Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) made effective certain regulations affecting the Licensee Liability Rating program which requires well owners to post financial security for well abandonment obligations in amounts set forth by the AER.  In order to comply with these requirements, EOG Resources Canada Inc. (EOGRC) established a 160 million Canadian dollar letter of credit facility (maturing May 29, 2018) with Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) as the lender.  The letter of credit facility requires EOGRC to deposit cash, in an amount equal to all outstanding letters of credit under such facility, in a cash collateral account at RBC.  At September 30, 2013, the balance in this account was 70 million Canadian dollars (68 million United States dollars).

11. Fair Value Measurements

As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2012 Annual Report, certain of EOG's financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on the 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in millions):

The estimated fair value of crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts (including options/swaptions) and the interest rate swap contract was based upon forward commodity price and interest rate curves based on quoted market prices.  The estimated fair value of the foreign currency rate swap was based upon forward currency rates.  Commodity derivative contracts were valued by utilizing an independent third-party derivative valuation provider who uses various types of valuation models, as applicable.

The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment.  Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of asset retirement obligations include plugging costs and reserve lives.  A reconciliation of EOG's asset retirement obligations is presented in Note 6.

Proved oil and gas properties and other assets with a carrying amount of $247 million were written down to their fair value of $154 million, resulting in pretax impairment charges of $93 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Included in the $93 million pretax impairment charges are $7 million of impairments of proved oil and gas properties for which EOG utilized an accepted offer from a third-party purchaser as the basis for determining fair value.  Significant Level 3 assumptions associated with the calculation of discounted cash flows used in the impairment analysis include EOG's estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, production costs, development expenditures, anticipated production of proved reserves, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates and other relevant data.

Fair Value of Debt.  At both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, EOG had outstanding $6,290 million aggregate principal amount of debt, which had estimated fair values of approximately $6,692 million and $7,032 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 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2012 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 hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.  In addition to financial transactions, from time to time EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions.  These physical commodity contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception and, therefore, are not subject to hedge accounting or mark-to-market accounting.  The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.

(1) EOG has entered into natural gas derivative contracts which give counterparties the option of entering into derivative contracts at future dates.  Such options are exercisable monthly up until the settlement date of each monthly contract.  For the period November 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, if the counterparties exercise all such options, the notional volume of EOG's existing natural gas derivative contracts will increase by 150,000 MMBtud at an average price of $4.79 per MMBtu for each month during that period.
(2) EOG has entered into natural gas derivative contracts which give counterparties the option of entering into derivative contracts at future dates.  Additionally, in connection with certain natural gas derivative contracts settled in July 2012, counterparties retain an option of entering into derivative contracts at future dates.  All such options are exercisable monthly up until the settlement date of each monthly contract.  If the counterparties exercise all such options, the notional volume of EOG's existing natural gas derivative contracts will increase by 320,000 MMBtud at an average price of $4.66 per MMBtu for each month during the period January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivative.  EOG is party to a foreign currency aggregate swap with multiple banks to eliminate any exchange rate impacts that may result from the 4.75% Subsidiary Debt issued by one of EOG's Canadian subsidiaries.  The foreign currency swap agreement expires on March 15, 2014.  EOG accounts for the foreign currency swap transaction using the hedge accounting method.  Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency swap do not impact Net Income.  The after-tax net impact from the foreign currency swap resulted in increases in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) of $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and increases in OCI of $2.5 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest Rate Derivative.  EOG is a party to an interest rate swap with a counterparty bank.  The interest rate swap was entered into in order to mitigate EOG's exposure to volatility in interest rates related to the Floating Rate Notes.  The interest rate swap has a notional amount of $350 million and expires on February 3, 2014.  EOG accounts for the interest rate swap transaction using the hedge accounting method.  Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap do not impact Net Income.  The after-tax net impact from the interest rate swap resulted in an increase in OCI of $0.4 million and a reduction in OCI of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and an increase in OCI of $1.3 million and a reduction in OCI of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

All of EOG's outstanding 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 rating 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  EOG held no collateral at September 30, 2013 and held $6 million of collateral at December 31, 2012.  EOG had collateral of $2 million posted at September 30, 2013 and no collateral posted at December 31, 2012.

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, Canada, Trinidad, the United Kingdom, China and Argentina.  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.  This strategy is intended to enhance the generation of cash flow and earnings from each unit of production on a cost-effective basis, allowing EOG to deliver long-term production growth while maintaining a strong balance sheet.  EOG implements its strategy by emphasizing the drilling of internally generated prospects in order to find and develop low-cost reserves.  Maintaining the lowest possible operating cost structure that is consistent with prudent and safe operations is also an important goal in the implementation of EOG's strategy.

United States and Canada.  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 are expected to contribute substantially to EOG's crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas production.  EOG has placed an emphasis on applying its horizontal drilling and completion expertise to unconventional crude oil and liquids-rich reservoirs.  In 2013, EOG is focused on developing its existing North American crude oil and liquids-rich acreage and testing methods to improve the recovery factor of the oil-in-place in these plays.  In addition, EOG continues to evaluate certain potential crude oil and liquids-rich exploration and development prospects.  For the first nine months of 2013, revenues from the sales of crude oil and condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) were approximately 84% of total wellhead revenues.  On a volumetric basis, as calculated using the ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or NGLs to 6.0 thousand cubic feet of natural gas, crude oil and condensate and NGLs production accounted for approximately 55% of total company production for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to 45% for the comparable period in 2012.  In North America, crude oil and condensate and NGLs production accounted for approximately 62% of total North American production during the first nine months of 2013 as compared to 52% for the comparable period in 2012.  This liquids growth primarily reflects increased production from the South Texas Eagle Ford, the Permian Basin and the North Dakota Bakken.  Based on current trends, EOG expects its 2013 crude oil and condensate and NGLs production to continue to increase both in total and as a percentage of total company production as compared to 2012.  In 2013, EOG's major producing areas in the United States and Canada are in New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming and western Canada.

EOG continues to deliver its crude oil to various markets in the United States, including sales points on the Gulf Coast where sales are based upon the premium Light Louisiana Sweet crude oil index.  EOG's crude-by-rail facilities provide EOG the ability to direct its crude oil shipments via rail car to the most favorable markets, including the Gulf Coast, Cushing, Oklahoma, and other markets.

In December 2012, EOG's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary signed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of its entire interest in the planned Kitimat liquefied natural gas export terminal, the proposed Pacific Trail Pipelines and approximately 28,500 undeveloped net acres in the Horn River Basin.  The transaction closed in February 2013.

International.  In Trinidad, EOG continued to deliver natural gas under existing supply contracts.  Several fields in the South East Coast Consortium Block, Modified U(a) Block, Block 4(a) and Modified U(b) Block, as well as in the Pelican Field and the EMZ Area, have been developed and are producing natural gas sold to the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago and condensate sold to the Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago.  During the first nine months of 2013, EOG continued its four-well program in the Modified U(a) Block, drilling three development wells and one successful exploratory well.  In the third quarter of 2013, three of the four wells began production.  The fourth well will begin production in the fourth quarter of 2013.  In addition, an existing well was recompleted and began production in the third quarter of 2013.

- 20 -

In the United Kingdom, EOG continues to make progress in field development for its East Irish Sea Conwy crude oil discovery.  Modifications to the nearby third-party-owned Douglas platform, which will be used to process Conwy production, began in the first quarter of 2013.  In the third quarter of 2013, a crude oil processing module was installed on the Douglas platform.  In addition, drilling began on three development wells.  First production from the Conwy field is anticipated in late 2014.  In the second quarter of 2013, costs totaling $24.1 million associated with the Central North Sea Columbus natural gas project were written off.  In the third quarter of 2013, EOG drilled an unsuccessful exploratory well in the Central North Sea Block 21/12b which was awarded to EOG in 2009.

In Argentina, EOG is focused on the Vaca Muerta oil shale formation in the Neuquén Basin in Neuquén Province.  In 2012, a monitor well was drilled in the Aguada del Chivato Block and completed during the first half of 2013.  Also, in 2013, the first well on the Cerro Avispa Block was drilled with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2013.  EOG continues to evaluate its drilling results and exploration program in Argentina.

During the first half of 2013, EOG successfully recompleted a well in the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan Province, The People's Republic of China. A second well was drilled in the third quarter of 2013 and will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.  One additional well is planned in the fourth quarter of 2013, which is expected to begin producing in 2014.

EOG continues to evaluate other select crude oil and natural gas opportunities outside the United States and Canada primarily by pursuing exploitation opportunities in countries where indigenous crude oil and natural gas reserves have been identified.

Capital Structure.  One of management's key strategies is to maintain a strong balance sheet with a consistently below average debt-to-total capitalization ratio as compared to those in EOG's peer group.  EOG's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 30% and 32% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.  At September 30, 2013, $350 million principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 and $150 million principal amount of 4.75% Subsidiary Debt due 2014 were classified as long-term debt based upon EOG's intent and ability to ultimately replace such amounts with other long-term debt.  On October 1, 2013, EOG repaid, at maturity, the $400 million principal amount of its 6.125% Senior Notes.

EOG's total anticipated 2013 capital expenditures are estimated to range from $7.0 billion to $7.2 billion, excluding acquisitions.  The majority of 2013 expenditures have been and will be focused on United States crude oil and, to a lesser extent, liquids-rich natural gas drilling activity.  EOG expects capital expenditures to be slightly higher than cash flow from operating activities for 2013.  EOG's business plan includes an objective of selling certain non-core assets in 2013 to cover any anticipated shortfall in cash flows.  In the first nine months of 2013, EOG achieved this goal by receiving proceeds of approximately $587 million from sales of assets.  EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives, including borrowings under its commercial paper program and other uncommitted credit facilities, bank borrowings, borrowings under its $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and equity and debt offerings.  When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer incremental exploration and/or production opportunities.  Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the third quarter of 2013 increased $826 million, or 55%, to $2,338 million from $1,512 million for the same period of 2012, due to an increase of 66 MBbld, or 39%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate deliveries ($587 million) and a higher composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($239 million).  The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased production in the South Texas Eagle Ford, the North Dakota Bakken and the Permian Basin.  EOG's composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the third quarter of 2013 increased 11% to $108.20 per barrel compared to $97.13 per barrel for the same period of 2012.

NGLs revenues for the third quarter of 2013 increased $38 million, or 22%, to $208 million from $170 million for the same period of 2012, due to an increase of 10 MBbld, or 17%, in NGLs deliveries ($28 million) and a higher composite average NGLs price ($10 million).  The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased volumes in the South Texas Eagle Ford and the Permian Basin.  EOG's composite average NGLs price for the third quarter of 2013 increased 5% to $32.74 per barrel compared to $31.11 per barrel for the same period of 2012.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $31 million, or 7%, to $396 million from $427 million for the same period of 2012.  The decrease was due to a decrease in natural gas deliveries ($50 million), partially offset by a higher composite average wellhead natural gas price ($19 million).  EOG's composite average wellhead natural gas price for the third quarter of 2013 increased 5% to $3.23 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) compared to $3.07 per Mcf for the same period of 2012.  Natural gas deliveries for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 178 MMcfd, or 12%, primarily due to lower production in the United States (123 MMcfd), Trinidad (35 MMcfd) and Canada (18 MMcfd).  The decrease in the United States was primarily attributable to asset sales and reduced natural gas drilling activity.  The decrease in Trinidad was primarily attributable to higher contractual deliveries in 2012.

During the third quarter of 2013, EOG recognized net losses on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $293 million compared to net gains of $5 million for the same period of 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013, the net cash outflow related to settled crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts was $21 million compared to the net cash inflow of $249 million for the same period of 2012.

Gathering, processing and marketing revenues represent sales of third-party crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas, as well as fees associated with gathering third-party natural gas.  Gathering, processing and marketing revenues were primarily related to sales of third-party crude oil and natural gas.  Purchases and sales of third-party crude oil and natural gas are utilized in order to balance firm transportation capacity with production in certain areas and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities.  Marketing costs represent the costs of purchasing third-party crude oil and natural gas and the associated transportation costs.

During the third quarter of 2013, gathering, processing and marketing revenues and marketing costs increased compared to the same period of 2012 primarily as a result of increased crude oil marketing activities.  Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $13 million compared to the same period of 2012 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, DD&A, G&A and interest expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012 are set forth below.

Lease and well expenses include expenses for EOG-operated properties, as well as expenses billed to EOG from other operators where EOG is not the operator of a property.  Lease and well expenses can be divided into the following categories: costs to operate and maintain crude oil and natural gas wells, the cost of workovers and lease and well administrative expenses.  Operating and maintenance costs include, among other things, pumping services, salt water disposal, equipment repair and maintenance, compression expense, lease upkeep and fuel and power.  Workovers are operations to restore or maintain production from existing wells.

Each of these categories of costs individually fluctuates from time to time as EOG attempts to maintain and increase production while maintaining efficient, safe and environmentally responsible operations.  EOG continues to increase its operating activities by drilling new wells in existing and new areas.  Operating and maintenance costs within these existing and new areas, as well as the costs of services charged to EOG by vendors, fluctuate over time. In general, operating and maintenance costs for wells producing crude oil are higher than operating and maintenance costs for wells producing natural gas.

Lease and well expenses of $299 million for the third quarter of 2013 increased $46 million from $253 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($25 million) and Canada ($5 million) and increased workover expenditures in the United States ($15 million).

Transportation costs represent costs associated with the delivery of hydrocarbon products from the lease to a downstream point of sale.  Transportation costs include transportation fees, costs associated with crude-by-rail operations, the cost of compression (the cost of compressing natural gas to meet pipeline pressure requirements), dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees and fuel costs.

Transportation costs of $220 million for the third quarter of 2013 increased $56 million from $164 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs related to production from the South Texas Eagle Ford ($29 million), the Rocky Mountain area ($18 million) and the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area ($9 million).

- 25 -

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, 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 year to year.  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 third quarter of 2013 increased $103 million to $929 million from $826 million for the same prior year period.  DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the third quarter of 2013 were $113 million higher than the same prior year period primarily as a result of increased production in the United States ($97 million) and higher unit rates in the United States ($25 million) and Trinidad ($9 million), partially offset by decreased production in Canada ($8 million) and Trinidad ($4 million).  Unit rates in the United States increased due primarily to downward revisions of natural gas reserves at December 31, 2012, and an increase in production from higher-cost properties.

G&A expenses of $99 million for the third quarter of 2013 increased $6 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher costs associated with supporting expanding operations.

Interest expense, net, of $59 million for the third quarter of 2013 increased $6 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to interest charges related to $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2.625% Senior Notes due 2023 issued in September 2012.

Gathering and processing costs represent operating and maintenance expenses and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's gathering and processing assets.

Gathering and processing costs increased $5 million to $31 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $26 million for the same prior year period.  The increase primarily reflects increased activities in the South Texas Eagle Ford.

Exploration costs of $39 million for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $7 million from $46 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased 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 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.  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 future undiscounted cash flows are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value.  Fair value is generally calculated by using the Income Approach as described in the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.  For certain assets held for sale, EOG utilized accepted bids as the basis for determining fair value.

Impairments of $86 million for the third quarter of 2013 were $23 million higher than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to increased impairments of other assets in the United States ($30 million) and increased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($3 million), partially offset by decreased impairments of proved properties in the United States ($10 million).  EOG recorded impairments of proved properties and other assets of $55 million and $33 million for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

- 26 -

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 third quarter of 2013 increased $52 million to $172 million (5.9% of wellhead revenues) compared to $120 million (5.7% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period.  The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes in the United States ($44 million) primarily as a result of increased wellhead revenues and increased ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($8 million).

Income tax provision of $259 million for the third quarter of 2013 increased $54 million compared to the same period of 2012 due primarily to higher pretax income.  The net effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 decreased to 36% from 37% for the same prior year period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Net Operating Revenues.  During the first nine months of 2013, net operating revenues increased $2,067 million, or 24%, to $10,738 million from $8,671 million for the same period of 2012.  Total wellhead revenues for the first nine months of 2013 increased $2,087 million, or 36%, to $7,958 million from $5,871 million for the same period of 2012.  During the first nine months of 2013, EOG recognized net losses on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $207 million compared to net gains of $327 million for the same period of 2012.  Gathering, processing and marketing revenues for the first nine months of 2013 increased $562 million, or 26%, to $2,755 million from $2,193 million for the same period of 2012.  Gains on asset dispositions, net, for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 totaled $186 million and $248 million, respectively.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first nine months of 2013 increased $1,934 million, or 46%, to $6,133 million from $4,199 million for the same period of 2012, due to an increase of 56 MBbld, or 36%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate deliveries ($1,465 million) and a higher composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price ($469 million).  The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased production in the South Texas Eagle Ford, the Permian Basin and the North Dakota Bakken.  EOG's composite average wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first nine months of 2013 increased 8% to $105.76 per barrel compared to $97.68 per barrel for the same period of 2012.

NGLs revenues for the first nine months of 2013 increased $37 million, or 7%, to $556 million from $519 million for the same period of 2012, due to an increase of 9 MBbld, or 17%, in NGLs deliveries ($106 million), partially offset by a lower composite average NGLs price ($69 million).  The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased volumes in the South Texas Eagle Ford and the Permian Basin.  EOG's composite average NGLs price for the first nine months of 2013 decreased 11% to $31.64 per barrel compared to $35.58 per barrel for the same period of 2012.

Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first nine months of 2013 increased $117 million, or 10%, to $1,270 million from $1,153 million for the same period of 2012.  The increase was due to a higher composite average wellhead natural gas price ($266 million), partially offset by decreased natural gas deliveries ($149 million).  EOG's composite average wellhead natural gas price for the first nine months of 2013 increased 27% to $3.43 per Mcf compared to $2.71 per Mcf for the same period of 2012.  Natural gas deliveries for the first nine months of 2013 decreased 196 MMcfd, or 13%, primarily due to decreased production in the United States (131 MMcfd), Trinidad (43 MMcfd) and Canada (20 MMcfd).  The decrease in the United States was attributable to asset sales and reduced natural gas drilling activity.  The decrease in Trinidad was primarily attributable to higher contractual deliveries in 2012.

During the first nine months of 2013, EOG recognized net losses on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $207 million compared to net gains of $327 million for the same period of 2012.  During the first nine months of 2013, the net cash inflow related to settled crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts was $115 million compared to the net cash inflow of $556 million for the same period of 2012.

During the first nine months of 2013, gathering, processing and marketing revenues and marketing costs increased, compared to the same period of 2012, primarily as a result of increased crude oil marketing activities.  Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the first nine months of 2013 decreased $30 million compared to the same period of 2012 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, DD&A, G&A and interest expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012 are set forth below.

Lease and well expenses of $817 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $51 million from $766 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs in the United States ($21 million) and Canada ($7 million), increased workover expenditures in the United States ($15 million) and increased lease and well administrative expenses ($8 million).

Transportation costs of $629 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $197 million from $432 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs related to production from the South Texas Eagle Ford ($93 million), the Rocky Mountain area ($73 million) and the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area ($30 million).

DD&A expenses for the first nine months of 2013 increased $303 million to $2,686 million from $2,383 million for the same prior year period.  DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first nine months of 2013 were $332 million higher than the same prior year period primarily as a result of increased production in the United States ($229 million) and higher unit rates in the United States ($125 million) and Trinidad ($32 million), partially offset by decreased production in Canada ($25 million) and Trinidad ($12 million) and lower unit rates in Canada ($16 million).  Unit rates in the United States increased due primarily to downward revisions of natural gas reserves at December 31, 2012, and an increase in production from higher-cost properties.

G&A expenses of $257 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $12 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher costs associated with supporting expanding operations.

Interest expense, net of $183 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $29 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a higher average debt balance.

Gathering and processing costs for the first nine months of 2013 increased $9 million to $82 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to increased activities in the South Texas Eagle Ford.

Exploration costs of $131 million for the first nine months of 2013 decreased $6 million from $137 million for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States ($9 million) and Canada ($2 million), partially offset by increased exploration administrative expenses in the United States ($5 million).

Impairments of $177 million for the first nine months of 2013 were $73 million lower than impairments for the same prior year period primarily due to decreased impairments of proved properties in the United States ($87 million) and decreased amortization of unproved property costs in the United States ($14 million) and Canada ($4 million), partially offset by increased impairments of proved properties in Canada ($12 million) and Argentina ($6 million) and increased impairments of other assets in the United States ($11 million).  EOG recorded impairments of proved properties and other assets of $93 million and $148 million for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Taxes other than income for the first nine months of 2013 increased $99 million to $459 million (5.8% of wellhead revenues) from $360 million (6.1% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period.  The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes in the United States ($86 million) primarily as a result of increased wellhead revenues, higher ad valorem/property taxes in the United States ($15 million) and a decrease in credits available to EOG in 2013 for Texas high-cost gas severance tax rate reductions ($4 million), partially offset by decreased severance/production taxes in Trinidad ($3 million) and Canada ($2 million).

Other income, net, was $6 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $23 million for the same prior year period.  The decrease of $17 million was primarily due to losses related to warehouse stock sales and adjustments ($12 million) and an increase in deferred compensation expense ($4 million).

Income tax provision of $901 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $250 million compared to the same period of 2012 due primarily to higher pretax income.  The net effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2013 decreased to 36% from 38% for the same prior year period.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash Flow.  The primary sources of cash for EOG during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were funds generated from operations, proceeds from asset sales, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock purchase plan activity.  The primary uses of cash were funds used in operations; exploration and development expenditures; other property, plant and equipment expenditures; dividend payments to stockholders; and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans.  During the first nine months of 2013, EOG's cash balance increased $443 million to $1,319 million from $876 million at December 31, 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $5,328 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $1,319 million compared to the same period of 2012 primarily reflecting an increase in wellhead revenues ($2,087 million), favorable changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities ($38 million), and a decrease in net cash paid for income taxes ($37 million), partially offset by an unfavorable change in net cash flow from the settlement of financial commodity derivative contracts ($441 million), an increase in cash operating expenses ($356 million) and an increase in net cash paid for interest expense ($41 million).

Net cash used in investing activities of $4,763 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased by $85 million compared to the same period of 2012 due primarily to a decrease in proceeds from sales of assets ($626 million) and an increase in restricted cash ($68 million); partially offset by a decrease in additions to oil and gas properties ($243 million); a decrease in additions to other property, plant and equipment ($206 million); and favorable changes in working capital associated with investing activities ($161 million).

Net cash used in financing activities of $127 million for the first nine months of 2013 included cash dividend payments ($148 million) and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($56 million).  Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2013 included excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation ($50 million) and proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock purchase plan activity ($30 million).  Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,161 million for the first nine months of 2012 included net proceeds from long-term debt borrowings ($1,234 million), proceeds from stock options exercised and employee stock purchase plan activity ($60 million), and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation ($49 million).  Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2012 included cash dividend payments ($134 million) and purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($45 million).

Total Expenditures.  For the year 2013, EOG's budget for exploration and development and other property, plant and equipment expenditures is approximately $7.0 billion to $7.2 billion, excluding acquisitions.  The table below sets out components of total expenditures for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

Exploration and development expenditures of $5,221 million for the first nine months of 2013 were $242 million lower than the same period of 2012 due primarily to decreased drilling and facilities expenditures in the United States ($312 million), Canada ($97 million) and Argentina ($32 million); decreased leasehold acquisition expenditures in the United States ($45 million) and Canada ($28 million); and decreased exploration geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States ($9 million).  These decreases were partially offset by increased property acquisition expenditures in the United States ($92 million) and increased drilling and facilities expenditures in Trinidad ($86 million), the United Kingdom ($50 million) and China ($12 million).  The exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of 2013 of $5,221 million consist of $4,524 million in development, $571 million in exploration, $92 million in property acquisitions and $34 million in capitalized interest.  The exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of 2012 of $5,463 million consist of $4,758 million in development, $668 million in exploration and $37 million in capitalized interest.

The level of exploration and development expenditures, including acquisitions, will vary in future periods depending on energy market conditions and other related economic factors.  EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives and the ability to adjust its exploration and development expenditure budget as circumstances warrant.  While EOG has certain continuing commitments associated with expenditure plans related to its operations, such commitments are not expected to be material when considered in relation to the total financial capacity of EOG.

Commodity Derivative Transactions.  As more fully discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on February 22, 2013, 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 (Losses) Gains on Mark-to-Market Commodity Derivative Contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.  The related cash flow impact is reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities.  In addition to financial transactions, from time to time EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions.  The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.

Commodity Derivative Contracts.  The total fair value of EOG's crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts was reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013 as a net liability of $127 million.  EOG entered into additional crude oil derivative contracts since filing its Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 10, 2013.  In addition, during September 2013, EOG settled certain crude oil derivative contracts covering notional volumes of 5,000 barrels per day (Bbld) for the period July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.  Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's crude oil derivative contracts at November 6, 2013, with notional volumes expressed in Bbld and prices expressed in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl).
