Exhibit 99.1


       IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE BLACKOUT PERIOD FOR
            THE EOG RESOURCES, INC. SAVINGS PLAN AND
      THE EOG RESOURCES, INC. MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLAN
AND YOUR RIGHTS TO TRADE EOG RESOURCES, INC. COMMON STOCK DURING
                       THE BLACKOUT PERIOD

To:   All EOG Resources, Inc. Directors and Executive Officers

From: Barry Hunsaker
      Senior Vice President and General Counsel
      EOG Resources, Inc.

The purpose of this notice is to inform you that the EOG
Resources, Inc. Savings Plan and the EOG Resources, Inc. Money
Purchase Pension Plan (collectively, the "Plans") will be
entering a blackout period due to a Trustee and Recordkeeper
conversion from WyStar/Wachovia to Schwab Retirement Plan
Services, Inc.  Because you are a director or executive officer
of EOG Resources, Inc. ("EOG"), you are subject to Section 306(a)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
related thereto, which prohibit directors or executive officers
of EOG from engaging in certain transactions in EOG Resources,
Inc.'s Common Stock during a blackout period.  All current and
former participants in the Plans were informed via notice mailed
November 5, 2004, a copy of that notice is attached.

During the blackout period, directors and executive officers may
no longer exercise stock options or trade EOG's securities
held outside of the Plans.  The insider trading provision
specifically prohibits corporate insiders from directly or
indirectly purchasing, selling, acquiring or transferring any
equity or derivative security of a publicly traded company that
they acquired in connection with service or employment as a
director or executive officer of that company.  Equities acquired
in connection with the individual's service as a director or
officer are subject to the restriction, including securities
acquired before the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed or before the
company went public.  There is a rebuttable presumption that any
securities sold during a blackout period are not exempt from the
rule (i.e., the individual corporate insider bears the burden of
proving that the securities were not "acquired in connection with
service or employment").  However, the rules exempt various
acquisitions or dispositions that occur automatically, are made
pursuant to an advance election, or are otherwise outside of your
control.  If you are aware of any acquisitions or dispositions of
shares on your behalf that may occur under these types of
conditions, please contact me to determine if the acquisition or
disposition falls within an exemption to the rules.

Key Dates:
Blackout Beginning Date:           December 27, 2004
Expected Blackout End Date:        The week of January 10, 2005

Violations of the insider trading prohibition will allow an
issuer or a security holder acting on behalf of an issuer to
bring an action to recover the profits realized by the director
or executive officer. In addition, the SEC may bring an action,
including civil injunction proceedings, cease-and-desist actions,
civil penalties and all other remedies available to the SEC under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including,
in some cases, criminal penalties.

While we anticipate a smooth transition, you will be notified in
the unlikely event that an extension of the blackout period is
needed.  During the blackout period and thereafter, you can
determine without charge whether the blackout period has started
or ended or ask any other questions you may have regarding this
notice by contacting Julie Clay at EOG Resources, Inc.  333 Clay
Street, Suite 4200, Houston, Texas 77002, by phone at (713) 651-
