attorney-in-fact to:

(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
    as an executive officer of EOG Resources, Inc. (?Company?), Forms 3, 4 and
    5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
    (as amended) and the rules and regulations thereunder;

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
    may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or
    5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely
    file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
    and any stock exchange or other authority as may be required under
    applicable law; and

(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
    foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
    benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the
    undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
    attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
    of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
    conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
    attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power
of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney
and the rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned also hereby
ratifies and affirms (i) any and all Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including amendments
thereto) with respect to the undersigned's holdings of, and transactions
in, securities issued by the Company executed and filed by each such
attorney-in-fact and (ii) all other actions taken by each such
attorney-in-fact consistent with this Power of Attorney, in each case
prior to the date hereof.

The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving
in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is
the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended).

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to
the undersigned's holdings of, and transactions in, securities issued by the
Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing.

This Power of Attorney shall be deemed to supersede, and to revoke all
authority granted by, any power of attorney granted by the undersigned
prior to the date hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 31st day of August, 2010.
