Divestitures	17. Divestitures During 2014, EOG received proceeds of approximately $569 million primarily from the divestiture of all its assets in Manitoba and the majority of its assets in Alberta (collectively, the Canadian Sales) and from sales of producing properties and acreage in the Upper Gulf Coast region, the Rocky Mountain area and the Mid-Continent area. The Canadian Sales that closed on or about December 1, 2014, occurred in two separate transactions, an asset sale and the sale of the stock of certain of EOG's Canadian subsidiaries. As these two transactions represent a substantially complete liquidation of EOG's Canadian operations, EOG reclassified approximately $383 million of cumulative translation adjustments previously recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to Net Income (Gains on Asset Dispositions, Net) on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Canadian Sales also resulted in the release of approximately $150 million of restricted cash related to future abandonment liabilities. During 2013, EOG received proceeds of approximately $761 million primarily from the sales of its entire interest in the planned Kitimat project in Canada, undeveloped acreage in the Horn River Basin in Canada and producing properties and acreage in the Permian Basin, the Mid-Continent area and the Upper Gulf Coast region. During 2012, EOG received proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion from the sales of producing properties and acreage primarily in the Rocky Mountain area, the Upper Gulf Coast region and Canada.
