Delivery Commitments. EOG sells crude oil and natural gas from its producing operations under a variety of contractual arrangements. At December 31, 2022, EOG was committed to deliver to multiple parties fixed quantities of crude oil of 7 million barrels (MMBbls) in 2023, 7 MMBbls in 2024 and 1 MMBbls in 2025. Additionally at December 31, 2022, EOG was committed to deliver to multiple parties fixed quantities of natural gas of 347 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in 2023, 321 Bcf in 2024, 277 Bcf in 2025, 297 Bcf in 2026, 293 Bcf in 2027 and 3,540 Bcf thereafter. All delivery commitments are expected to be sourced from future production of available reserves.

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.
