Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures	Acquisitions and Divestitures During 2015, EOG completed acquisitions of approximately $481 million primarily to acquire proved crude oil properties and related assets in the Delaware Basin and gathering assets in the North Dakota Bakken. During 2015, EOG received proceeds of approximately $193 million primarily from sales of gathering and processing assets and other assets. 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 represented a substantially complete liquidation of EOG's Canadian operations, approximately $383 million of cumulative translation adjustments previously recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was reclassified to 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.
