EOG RESOURCES, INC. Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
I. Price Matters Update
Based on the tax position of EOG, EOG's price sensitivity (exclusive of basis swaps) as ofApril 15, 2021 , for each$1.00 per barrel increase or decrease in wellhead crude oil and condensate price, combined with the estimated change in NGL price, is approximately$102 million for net income and$130 million for pretax cash flows from operating activities, in each case for the full-year 2021. Based on EOG's tax position and the portion of EOG's anticipated natural gas volumes for which prices have not (as ofApril 15, 2021 ) been determined under long-term marketing contracts, EOG's price sensitivity (exclusive of basis swaps) as ofApril 15, 2021 , for each$0.10 per thousand cubic feet increase or decrease in wellhead natural gas price, is approximately$31 million for net income and$40 million for pretax cash flows from operating activities, in each case for the full-year 2021. II. Price Risk Management With the objective of enhancing the certainty of future revenues, from time to time EOG enters into financial price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts. EOG accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. For the first quarter of 2021, EOG anticipates a net loss of$367 million on the mark-to-market of its financial commodity derivative contracts. During the first quarter of 2021, the net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was$30 million . For the quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 , NYMEX WTI crude oil averaged$57.80 per Bbl, and NYMEX natural gas at Henry Hub averaged$2.69 per MMBtu. EOG's actual realizations for crude oil and natural gas for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 , differ from these NYMEX prices due to delivery location (basis), quality and appropriate revenue adjustments. Market prices for NGLs are influenced by the components extracted, including ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline, among others, and the respective market pricing for each component.

EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target," "aims," "goal," "may," "will," "should" 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 EOG's future operating results and returns or EOG's ability to replace or increase reserves, increase production, generate returns, replace or increase drilling locations, reduce or otherwise control operating costs and capital expenditures, generate cash flows, pay down or refinance indebtedness or pay and/or increase dividends are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although EOG believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been correct. Moreover, EOG's forward-looking statements may be affected by known, unknown or currently unforeseen risks, events or circumstances that may be outside EOG's control. Important factors that could cause EOG's actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in EOG's forward-looking statements include, among others: •the timing, extent and duration of changes in prices for, supplies of, and demand for, crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids, natural gas and related commodities; •the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to acquire or discover additional reserves; •the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to (i) economically develop its acreage in, (ii) produce reserves and achieve anticipated production levels and rates of return from, (iii) decrease or otherwise control its drilling, completion, operating and capital costs related to, and (iv) maximize reserve recovery from, its existing and future crude oil and natural gas exploration and development projects and associated potential and existing drilling locations; •the extent to which EOG is successful in its efforts to market its crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids, natural gas and related commodity production; •security threats, including cybersecurity threats and disruptions to our business and operations from breaches of our information technology systems, physical breaches of our facilities and other infrastructure or breaches of the information technology systems, facilities and infrastructure of third parties with which we transact business;

climate change and other environmental, health and safety laws and regulations relating to air emissions, disposal of produced water, drilling fluids and other wastes, hydraulic fracturing and access to and use of water; laws and regulations affecting the leasing of acreage and permitting for oil and gas drilling and the calculation of royalty payments in respect of oil and gas production; laws and regulations imposing additional permitting and disclosure requirements, additional operating restrictions and conditions or restrictions on drilling and completion operations and on the transportation of crude oil and natural gas; laws and regulations with respect to derivatives and hedging activities; and laws and regulations with respect to the import and export of crude oil, natural gas and related commodities; •EOG's ability to effectively integrate acquired crude oil and natural gas properties into its operations, fully identify existing and potential problems with respect to such properties and accurately estimate reserves, production and drilling, completing and operating costs with respect to such properties; •the extent to which EOG's third-party-operated crude oil and natural gas properties are operated successfully and economically; •competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry for the acquisition of licenses, leases and properties, employees and other personnel, facilities, equipment, materials and services; •the availability and cost of employees and other personnel, facilities, equipment, materials (such as water and tubulars) and services; •the accuracy of reserve estimates, which by their nature involve the exercise of professional judgment and may therefore be imprecise; 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •weather, including its impact on crude oil and natural gas demand, and weather-related delays in drilling and in the installation and operation (by EOG or third parties) of production, gathering, processing, refining, compression, storage and transportation facilities;

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements may not occur, and, if any of such events do, we may not have anticipated the timing of their occurrence or the duration or extent of their impact on our actual results. Accordingly, you should not place any undue reliance on any of EOG's forward-looking statements. EOG's forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and EOG undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.
