FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, November 5, 2015

HOUSTON - EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) today reported a third quarter 2015 net loss of $4.1 billion, or $7.47 per share. This compares to third quarter 2014 net income of $1.1 billion, or $2.01 per share.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the third quarter 2015 was $13.5 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to the same prior year period adjusted non-GAAP net income of $720.6 million, or $1.31 per share. Adjusted non-GAAP net income is calculated by matching realizations to settlement months and making certain other adjustments in order to exclude one-time items. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.)

During the third quarter 2015, proved oil and gas properties and related assets were written down to their fair value resulting in non-cash impairment charges of $4.1 billion net of tax. The impairments were due to declines in commodity prices and were primarily related to legacy natural gas and marginal liquids assets.

Significant reductions in operating expenses were more than offset by lower commodity price realizations, resulting in decreases in adjusted non-GAAP net income, discretionary cash flow and adjusted EBITDAX during the third quarter 2015 compared to the third quarter 2014. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.)

Operational Highlights

In the third quarter 2015, total crude oil and condensate production exceeded prior guidance due to improved well productivity. Total company production decreased 5 percent compared to the third quarter 2014 excluding production related to EOG’s Canadian operations, which were divested in the fourth quarter 2014. Total capital expenditures decreased 36 percent compared to the same prior year period.

EOG also continued to reduce completed well costs and operating costs compared to the same quarter last year. Lease and well expenses decreased 17 percent on a per-unit basis due to improved operational efficiencies and reduced service costs. Per-unit transportation costs decreased 11 percent, and total general and administrative expenses declined 6 percent.

“We are executing on our 2015 plan to reset the company to be successful in a low commodity price environment,” said William R. “Bill” Thomas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “By continuing to make the best oil wells in the industry, significantly reducing costs and expanding resource potential in the best North American oil plays, EOG is uniquely positioned for 2016 and to lead the industry for years to come.”

2015 Capital Plan Update

EOG is maintaining full-year 2015 capital spending guidance. U.S. crude oil production guidance increased due to strong well performance. Total company crude oil production guidance is slightly lower due to delays in the startup of the U.K. Conwy project.

Delaware Basin

EOG increased its Delaware Basin net resource potential by 1.0 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BnBoe). For the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp, EOG added 950 net drilling locations and increased its net resource potential estimate over 60 percent to 1.3 BnBoe. Advancements in targeting and completion technology are enabling tighter well spacing and increased production per well. In the Second Bone Spring Sand oil play, EOG provided an initial net resource potential estimate of 500 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe) and added 1,250 net drilling locations in this high quality crude oil play.

EOG added 26,000 net acres to its Delaware Basin position in the third quarter 2015 through three tactical acquisitions in Loving County, Texas, and Lea County, N.M., for a total of $368 million. Most of

the acquired acreage is adjacent to EOG’s existing operating areas in the high rate of return Delaware Basin oil window. Combined, these acquisitions added net production of 750 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe) per day with an associated 2.5 MMBoe of proved producing reserves. These acquisitions and the updated resource potential bring EOG’s total Delaware Basin net position to 2.35 BnBoe and 4,900 locations, providing decades of high return drilling potential.

“Outstanding technical and operational advances enabled us to increase potential resource estimates for our Delaware Basin position by over 70 percent,” Thomas said. “We are also pleased that through our tactical acquisitions of new, high quality Delaware Basin acreage, we added assets which meet our high rate of return hurdle. EOG’s Delaware Basin assets along with the company’s Eagle Ford and Bakken positions continue to grow in both size and quality. With premier assets and commitment to innovation, EOG continues to enhance its capability for high return growth in a low oil price environment.”

In addition, EOG completed a number of noteworthy new wells in the Delaware Basin in the third quarter.

In the Wolfcamp shale in Lea County, N.M., EOG completed the Thor 21 #701H and #702H with average initial production rates per well of 3,255 barrels of oil per day (Bopd), 470 barrels per day (Bpd) of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 3.9 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas. The Thor 21 #702H set a new industry 30-day production record for horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin Wolfcamp.

In the Second Bone Spring Sand in Lea County, N.M., EOG completed the Neptune 10 State Com #501H and #502H in a two-well pattern with average initial production rates per well of 2,205 Bopd, 185 Bpd of NGLs and 1.5 MMcfd of natural gas.

In the Leonard shale in Lea County, N.M., EOG completed the Hawk 35 Fed #7H, #8H, #9H and #10H in a four-well pattern with average initial production rates per well of 1,615 Bopd, 160 Bpd of NGLs and 1.3 MMcfd of natural gas.

South Texas Eagle Ford

The Eagle Ford continues to be EOG’s largest high return play. During 2015, the company expanded the use of high density completions to 95 percent of the Eagle Ford wells planned for the year. Enabled by high density completions and proprietary targeting technology, EOG is actively testing tighter well spacing in the lower Eagle Ford with stacked-staggered “W” patterns. Additionally, an efficient drilling program increased the amount of acreage held by production to 91 percent of EOG’s 561,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford oil window. In Gonzales County, EOG completed the Phoenix Unit #4H and #5H with average initial production rates per well of 3,815 Bopd, 415 Bpd of NGLs and 2.8 MMcfd of natural gas. In McMullen County, EOG completed the Naylor Jones Unit 26 #1H and #2H in a two-well pattern

with average initial production rates per well of 2,650 Bopd with 150 Bpd of NGLs and 1.0 MMcfd of natural gas.

North Dakota Bakken

EOG’s activity in North Dakota remains focused on the Bakken Core and Antelope Extension areas. The company continued to improve its drilling and completion techniques including the expanded use of high density completions. In addition, recently installed water gathering facilities have significantly reduced operating expenses. During the third quarter 2015, the company completed the Parshall #88-3029H, #23-3029H and #26-3029H in a three-well pattern with average initial production rates per well of 1,830 Bopd and 1.0 MMcfd of rich natural gas. Average lateral lengths for the wells were 5,925 feet.

Hedging Activity

For the period November 1 through December 31, 2015, EOG has crude oil financial price swap contracts in place for 10,000 Bopd at a weighted average price of $89.98 per barrel. In addition, EOG has put options in place which establish a floor price of $45.00 per barrel for 82,500 Bopd for November 2015.

For December 2015, EOG has natural gas financial price swap contracts in place for 175,000 million British thermal units (MMBtu) per day at a weighted average price of $4.51 per MMBtu, excluding unexercised options. Comprehensive summaries of crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts are provided in the attached tables.

Capital Structure

At September 30, 2015, EOG’s total debt outstanding was $6.4 billion with a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 33 percent. Taking into account cash on the balance sheet of $743 million at September 30, EOG’s net debt was $5.7 billion with a net debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 30 percent. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is provided in the attached tables.

•	the other factors described under ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 13 through 20 of EOG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and any updates to those factors set forth in EOG's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

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 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.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only “proved” reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable with a high degree of confidence), but also “probable” reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are as likely as not to be recovered) as well as “possible” reserves (i.e., additional quantities of oil and gas that might be recovered, but with a lower probability than probable reserves). Statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this press release that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include "potential" reserves and/or other estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC’s latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in EOG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, available from EOG at P.O. Box 4362, Houston, Texas 77210-4362 (Attn: Investor Relations). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

November 2015		82,500	1.75		45.00

(1)	EOG has purchased put options which establish a floor price for the sale of certain notional volumes of crude oil specified in the put option contracts. The put options grant EOG the right to receive the difference between the put option strike price and the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil price for the contract month (Index Price), in the event the Index Price is below the put option strike price. If the Index Price is above the put option strike price, EOG is only required to pay the put option premium.



Natural Gas Price Swap Contracts

Direct After-Tax Rate of Return (ATROR)

The calculation of our direct after-tax rate of return (ATROR) with respect to our capital expenditure program for a particular play or well is based on the estimated proved reserves ("net" to EOG’s interest) for all wells in such play or such well (as the case may be), the estimated net present value (NPV) of the future net cash flows from such reserves (for which we utilize certain assumptions regarding future commodity prices and operating costs) and our direct net costs incurred in drilling or acquiring (as the case may be) such wells or well (as the case may be). As such, our direct ATROR with respect to our capital expenditures for a particular play or well cannot be calculated from our consolidated financial statements.

Direct ATROR

Based on Cash Flow and Time Value of Money

- Estimated future commodity prices and operating costs

- Costs incurred to drill, complete and equip a well, including facilities

Excludes Indirect Capital

- Gathering and Processing and other Midstream

- Land, Seismic, Geological and Geophysical

Payback ~12 Months on 100% Direct ATROR Wells

First Five Years ~1/2 Estimated Ultimate Recovery Produced but ~3/4 of NPV Captured

Return on Equity / Return on Capital Employed

Based on GAAP Accrual Accounting

Includes All Indirect Capital and Growth Capital for Infrastructure

- Eagle Ford, Bakken, Permian Facilities

- Gathering and Processing

Includes Legacy Gas Capital and Capital from Mature Wells
