Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On May 20, 2010, EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) closed its sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.95% Senior Notes due 2015 (2015 Notes) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.40% Senior Notes due 2020 (2020 Notes and, together with the 2015 Notes, the Notes). The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of May 18, 2009 (Indenture), by and between EOG, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee, and an officers’ certificate, dated May 20, 2010, pursuant to the Indenture setting forth the specific terms of the Notes.
     The offer and sale of the Notes has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-163947) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2009.
     The Indenture, the officers’ certificate, the form of global note for the 2015 Notes and the form of global note for the 2020 Notes are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.
I. Price Risk Management
     With the objective of enhancing the certainty of future revenues, from time to time EOG enters into New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) related financial collar, price swap and basis swap contracts. EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. In addition to financial transactions, from time to time EOG is a party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of hydrocarbons that cover varying periods of time and have varying pricing provisions. The financial impact of these physical commodity contracts is included in revenues at the time of settlement, which in turn affects average realized hydrocarbon prices.
II. Natural Gas Financial Collar, Price Swap and Basis Swap Contracts
     EOG has not entered into any additional natural gas financial collar, price swap or basis swap contracts since EOG filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 on May 4, 2010 which provided an update and comprehensive summary of all such contracts as of that date.

    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2015 Notes and 20 basis points in the case of the 2020 Notes;
 
   
 
  plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

  Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an independent investment banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“remaining life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
 
   
 
  Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than four such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
   
 
  Independent Investment Banker” means any of Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or UBS Securities LLC (or their respective successors ) as specified by the Company, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the comparable treasury issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

Morgan Securities Inc. or UBS Securities LLC and their respective successors, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer and (2) any three other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company after consultation with the independent

  Notice of any redemption will be mailed first-class, postage-prepaid at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the trustee or by such other method as the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate.

Trustee:
  Wells Fargo Bank, NA.
 
   
Place of Payment:
  The Company will make payments due on the Notes to Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or as otherwise may be permitted by the Indenture and the Notes.

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2009 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including as supplemented by an Officers’ Certificate pursuant thereto) reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
