Long-Term Debt. EOG had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and did not utilize any commercial paper borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

On March 15, 2023, EOG repaid upon maturity the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.625% Senior Notes due 2023.

On June 7, 2023, EOG entered into a $1.9 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (New Facility) with domestic and foreign lenders (Banks). The New Facility replaces EOG's $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2019, with domestic and foreign lenders (2019 Facility), which had a scheduled maturity date of June 27, 2024 and was terminated by EOG (without penalty), effective as of June 7, 2023, in connection with the completion of the New Facility.

The New Facility has a scheduled maturity date of June 7, 2028 and includes an option for EOG to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods, subject to, among certain other terms and conditions, the consent of the Banks holding greater than 50% of the commitments then outstanding under the New Facility. The New Facility commits the Banks to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion outstanding at any given time, with an option for EOG to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $3.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions. The New Facility also includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility. Advances under the New Facility will accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.1% plus an applicable margin, or the Base Rate (as defined in the New Facility) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees will be based on EOG's credit rating for its senior unsecured long-term debt at the applicable time.

Consistent with the terms of the 2019 Facility, the New Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that EOG believes are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization (as such terms are defined in the New Facility) of no greater than 65%. At June 30, 2023, EOG was in compliance with this financial covenant.

There were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the 2019 Facility as of (i) December 31, 2022 or (ii) the June 7, 2023 effective date of the closing of the New Facility and termination of the 2019 Facility. Further, at June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the New Facility. The SOFR and Base Rate (inclusive of the applicable margin), had there been any amounts borrowed under the New Facility at June 30, 2023, would have been 6.14% and 8.25%, respectively.

Common Stock. In November 2021, the Board established a new share repurchase authorization that allows for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock (November 2021 Authorization). Under the November 2021 Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The November 2021 Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Board at any time. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, EOG repurchased 2.8 million and 5.7 million shares of common stock, respectively, for approximately $300 million and $610 million (inclusive of transaction fees and commissions), respectively, pursuant to the November 2021 Authorization. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $4.4 billion remained available for repurchases under the November 2021 Authorization. Included in the Treasury Stock Repurchased amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are $5 million of estimated federal excise taxes.

On February 23, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.825 per share, paid on April 28, 2023, to stockholders of record as of April 14, 2023.
