Form 8-K for EOG RESOURCES INC


9-Jan-2008

Amendments to Articles of Inc. or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year, Regulation FD


Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The Board of Directors of EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) has amended Article VI of the Bylaws of EOG to provide for the issuance, transfer and registration of uncertificated shares of EOG's capital stock. The amendment was made in connection with the enrollment of EOG's common stock in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of The Depository Trust Company, as required by the rules adopted by the New York Stock Exchange (on which EOG's common stock is listed). The DRS allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and, moreover, allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect securities transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates. Prior to the amendment, EOG's Bylaws did not prohibit the issuance, transfer and registration of uncertificated shares of EOG's capital stock; the purpose of the amendment, which was adopted effective January 4, 2008, was to clarify that EOG may issue shares of its capital stock in uncertificated form.

A copy of the amendment to Article VI of EOG's Bylaws is included as Exhibit 3.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.



Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

I. Price Risk Management

(a) With the objective of enhancing the certainty of future revenues, from time to time EOG enters into New York Mercantile Exchange related financial commodity collar and price swap contracts. EOG accounts for these financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. In addition to financial transactions, 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.

(b) For the fourth quarter of 2007, EOG anticipates a net gain of $45.2 million from its natural gas and crude oil financial price swap contracts. During the fourth quarter of 2007, net cash inflow related to settled natural gas and crude oil financial price swap contracts was $28.8 million.

II. Natural Gas Financial Price Swap Contracts

(a) For the fourth quarter of 2007, EOG anticipates a gain of $54.3 million from its natural gas financial price swap contracts. During the fourth quarter of 2007, net cash inflow related to settled natural gas financial price swap contracts was $32.0 million.

Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's natural gas financial price swap contracts as of January 8, 2008, with notional volumes expressed in MMBtud and prices in dollars per MMBtu ($/MMBtu).

IV. Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding EOG's future financial position, business strategy, budgets, reserve information, projected levels of production, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target" and "believe" or the negative of those terms or other variations or comparable terminology to identify its forward-looking statements. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning future operating results, the ability to replace or increase reserves or to increase production, or the ability to generate income or cash flows are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although EOG believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in EOG's forward-looking statements include, among others:

º the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas and related products, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and financial market conditions;
º the extent and effect of any hedging activities engaged in by EOG;
º the timing and impact of liquefied natural gas imports;
º changes in demand or prices for ammonia or methanol;
º the extent of EOG's success in discovering, developing, marketing and producing reserves and in acquiring oil and gas properties;
º the accuracy of reserve estimates, which by their nature involve the exercise of professional judgment and may therefore be imprecise;
º the ability to achieve production levels from existing and future oil and gas development projects due to operating hazards, drilling risks and the inherent uncertainties in predicting oil and gas reservoir performance;
º the availability and cost of drilling rigs, experienced drilling crews, tubular steel and other materials, equipment and services used in drilling and well completions;
º the availability, terms and timing of mineral licenses and leases and governmental and other permits and rights of way;
º access to surface locations for drilling and production facilities;
º the availability and capacity of gathering, processing and pipeline transportation facilities;
º the availability of compression uplift capacity;
º the extent to which EOG can economically develop its Barnett Shale acreage outside of Johnson County, Texas;
º whether EOG is successful in its efforts to more densely develop its acreage in the Barnett Shale and other production areas;
º political developments around the world and the enactment of new government policies, legislation and regulations; . . .
