    <footnotes>
        <footnote id="F1">As previously reported on Mr. Steward's Form 4 filed on March 15, 2010, the reported securities are held by the Steward Family LLC, an Alaskan limited liability company (the &quot;LLC&quot;) in which Mr. Steward and his spouse previously owned 100% of the membership interests.  As also previously reported, effective December 31, 2009, Mr. Steward and his spouse sold 98% of the membership interests in the LLC, for estate and financial planning purposes, for an amount to be determined based on an appraisal of the assets of the LLC.  Pursuant to such appraisal, which has now been completed, each of the assets of the LLC was valued as of the December 31, 2009 sale date of the LLC membership interests, with appropriate discounts applied to the aggregate asset value.  Accordingly, the reported securities were initially valued at $97.30 per share, which was the closing price of EOG's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 2009.  Neither Mr. Steward nor his spouse has a
ny management authority with respect to the LLC, and Mr. Steward disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock of EOG held by the LLC, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
