Production exceeded targets and total per-unit cash operating costs were lower than planned. Consistent strong execution quarter after quarter reflects the quality and depth of our multi-basin portfolio as well as the efforts of our employees across our operating areas. "Our differentiated business model, focused on exploration and innovation, continues to strengthen our resource base. We believe our most recent exploration success, the Utica, will be competitive with the premier unconventional plays across North America. Well results continue to demonstrate consistent performance with significant oil contribution across multiple areas of our acreage position. Combined with emerging operating efficiencies, we are confident that the Utica will further improve our low-cost, high quality premium portfolio. "EOG's operational execution continues to translate into strong returns and cash flow generation. Strong free cash flow in the quarter allowed for significant capital return to shareholders through both our regular dividend and share repurchases, all while maintaining our industry-leading balance sheet. EOG is well positioned to leverage its core competencies to drive continued improvement in its business and create significant long-term value for our shareholders."   Regular Dividend and First Quarter Share RepurchasesThe Board of Directors today declared a dividend of $0.91 per share on EOG's common stock. The dividend will be payable July 31, 2024, to stockholders of record as of July 17, 2024. The indicated annual rate is $3.64 per share. During the first quarter, the company repurchased 6.4 million shares for $750 million under its share repurchase authorization, at an average purchase price of approximately $118 per share. EOG has $3.3 billion remaining on its current share buyback authorization.   First Quarter 2024 Financial Performance Prices Crude oil and natural gas prices decreased in 1Q compared with 4Q Volumes Total 1Q oil production of 487,400 Bopd was above the midpoint of the guidance range and up less than 1% from 4Q NGL production was above the midpoint of the guidance range but down 2% from 4Q Natural gas production was above the midpoint of the guidance range and up 1% from 4Q Total company equivalent daily production increased less than 1% from 4Q Per-Unit Costs LOE and DD&A costs increased in 1Q compared with 4Q, while GP&T and G&A expenses decreased Hedges Mark-to-market hedge gains decreased, lowering GAAP earnings per share in 1Q compared with 4Q Cash received to settle hedges increased adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share Free Cash Flow Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital was $2.9 billion EOG incurred $1.7 billion of capital expenditures Free cash flow was $1.2 billion Cash Return and Working Capital Paid $525 million in regular dividends Repurchased $750 million of stock Changes in working capital and other items added approximately $100 million to the cash balance   First Quarter 2024 Operating Performance Lease and Well QoQ: Increased primarily due to workover and water handling expenses Guidance Midpoint: Relatively flat Gathering, Processing and Transportation Costs QoQ: Decreased primarily due to lower rates Guidance Midpoint: Lower primarily due to optimization across processing capacity and lower compression expense due to lower fuel cost General and Administrative QoQ: Decreased due to lower employee-related expenses and professional fees Guidance Midpoint: Lower due to lower employee-related expenses Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization QoQ: Increased primarily due to a one-time adjustment related to natural gas production used by EOG-owned gathering systems Guidance Midpoint: Higher primarily due to well mix   First Quarter 2024 Results vs Guidance (Unaudited) See "Endnotes" below for related discussion and definitions.   1Q 2024 1Q 2024Guidance Midpoint   Variance   4Q 2023   3Q 2023   2Q 2023   1Q 2023 Crude Oil and Condensate Volumes (MBod) United States 486.8 486.0 0.8 484.6 482.8 476.0 457.1 Trinidad 0.6 0.3 0.3 0.6 0.5 0.6 0.6 Total 487.4 486.3 1.1 485.2 483.3 476.6 457.7 Natural Gas Liquids Volumes (MBbld) Total 231.7 228.0 3.7 235.8 231.1 215.7 212.2 Natural Gas Volumes (MMcfd) United States 1,658 1,650 8 1,653 1,562 1,513 1,475 Trinidad 200 185 15 178 142 155 164 Total 1,858 1,835 23 1,831 1,704 1,668 1,639 Total Crude Oil Equivalent Volumes (MBoed) 1,028.8 1,020.1 8.7 1,026.2 998.5 970.3 943.0 Total MMBoe 93.6 92.8 0.8 94.4 91.9 88.3 84.9 Benchmark Price Oil (WTI) ($/Bbl) 76.97 78.33 82.18 73.75 76.11 Natural Gas (HH) ($/Mcf) 2.24 2.87 2.55 2.09 3.43 Crude Oil and Condensate -

This presentation has been conformed for all periods presented and had no impact on previously reported Net Income. 3) EOG bases United States and Trinidad crude oil and condensate price differentials upon the West Texas Intermediate crude oil price at Cushing, Oklahoma, using the simple average of the NYMEX settlement prices for each trading day within the applicable calendar month. 4) EOG bases United States natural gas price differentials upon the natural gas price at Henry Hub, Louisiana, using the NYMEX Last Day Settle price for each of the applicable months. 5) In general, EOG excludes impairments which are (i) attributable to declines in commodity prices, (ii) related to sales of certain oil and gas properties or (iii) the result of certain other events or decisions (e.g., a periodic review of EOG's oil and gas properties or other assets). EOG believes excluding these impairments from total impairment costs is appropriate and provides useful information to investors, as such impairments were caused by factors outside of EOG's control (versus, for example, impairments that are due to EOG's proved oil and gas properties not being as productive as it originally estimated). 6) The forecast items for the second quarter and full year 2024 set forth above for EOG are based on currently available information and expectations as of the date of this press release. EOG undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise this forecast, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise. This forecast, which should be read in conjunction with this press release and EOG's related Current Report on Form 8-K filing, replaces and supersedes any previously issued guidance or forecast. 7) The full-year 2022 realized natural gas price for Trinidad includes a one-time pricing adjustment of $0.76/Mcf for prior-period production following a contract amendment with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC). 8) The forecast includes expenditures for Exploration and Development Drilling, Facilities, Leasehold Acquisitions, Capitalized Interest, Dry Hole Costs and Other Property, Plant and Equipment. The forecast excludes Property Acquisitions, Asset Retirement Costs, Non-Cash Exchanges and Transactions and exploration costs incurred as operating expenses. 9) 2022 TOTI (% of Wellhead Revenue) (non-GAAP) and General and Administrative Costs (non-GAAP) exclude a state severance tax refund and related consulting fees, respectively, as reflected in the accompanying Adjusted Net Income (Loss) reconciliation schedule.   Glossary Acq Acquisitions ATROR After-tax rate of return Bbl Barrel Bn Billion Boe Barrels of oil equivalent Bopd Barrels of oil per day CAGR Compound annual growth rate Capex Capital expenditures CFO Cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in working capital CO2e Carbon dioxide equivalent DD&A Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Disc Discoveries Divest Divestitures EPS Earnings per share Ext Extensions G&A General and administrative expense GHG Greenhouse gas GP&T Gathering, processing & transportation expense HH Henry Hub LOE Lease operating expense, or lease and well expense MBbld Thousand barrels of liquids per day MBod Thousand barrels of oil per day MBoe Thousand barrels of oil equivalent MBoed Thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day Mcf Thousand cubic feet of natural gas MMBoe Million barrels of oil equivalent MMcfd Million cubic feet of natural gas per day NGLs Natural gas liquids NYMEX U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange OTP Other than price QoQ Quarter over quarter TOTI Taxes other than income USD United States dollar WTI West Texas Intermediate YoY Year over year $MM Million United States dollars $/Bbl U.S. Dollars per barrel $/Boe U.S. Dollars per barrel of oil equivalent $/Mcf U.S. Dollars per thousand cubic feet   This press release may include  forward-looking  statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E   of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

the extent to which EOG is successful in its completion of planned asset dispositions; the extent and effect of any hedging activities engaged in by EOG; the timing and extent of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, inflation rates, global and domestic financial market conditions and global and domestic general economic conditions; the duration and economic and financial impact of epidemics, pandemics or other public health issues; geopolitical factors and political conditions and developments around the world (such as the imposition of tariffs or trade or other economic sanctions, political instability and armed conflicts), including in the areas in which EOG operates; the extent to which EOG incurs uninsured losses and liabilities or losses and liabilities in excess of its insurance coverage; acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts; and the other factors described under ITEM 1A, Risk Factors of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and any updates to those factors set forth in EOG's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. 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. Historical Non-GAAP Financial Measures:Reconciliation schedules and definitions for the historical non-GAAP financial measures included or referenced herein as well as related discussion can be found on the EOG website at www.eogresources.com. Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures:In addition, this press release and any accompanying disclosures may include or reference  certain forward-looking,  non-GAAP financial measures, such as free cash flow, cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in working capital and return on capital employed, and certain related estimates regarding future performance, commodity prices and operating and financial results. Because we provide these measures on a forward-looking basis, we cannot reliably or reasonably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as future changes in working capital and future impairments. Accordingly, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures to the respective most directly comparable forward-looking  GAAP financial measures without unreasonable  efforts. Management believes these forward-looking, non-GAAP measures may be a useful tool for the investment community in comparing EOG's forecasted financial  performance to the forecasted financial performance of other companies in the industry. Any such forward-looking  measures and estimates are intended to be illustrative only and are not intended to reflect the results that EOG will necessarily achieve for the period(s) presented; EOG's actual results may differ materially from such measures and estimates. Oil and Gas Reserves:The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only "proved" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable with a high degree of confidence), but also "probable" reserves (i.e., quantities  of oil and gas that are as likely as not to be recovered) as well as "possible" reserves (i.e., additional quantities of oil and gas that might be recovered, but with a lower probability  than probable reserves). Statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and  gas recovered. Any reserve or resource estimates provided in this press release that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include "potential" reserves, "resource potential" and/or other estimated reserves or estimated resources  not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure  in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (and any updates to such disclosure  set forth in EOG's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K), available from EOG at P.O.
