Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. EOG's management, with the participation of EOG's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of EOG's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, EOG's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that EOG's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date in ensuring that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports EOG files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to EOG's management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in EOG's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, EOG's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, Exchange Act) requires disclosure regarding certain proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental laws when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that EOG reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to such item, EOG will be using a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. EOG believes proceedings under this threshold are not material to EOG's business and financial condition (the choice of this threshold does not imply that matters with potential monetary sanctions in excess of $1 million are necessarily material to EOG's business or financial condition). Applying this threshold, there are no environmental proceedings to disclose for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

The share repurchases effected during the period July 1, 2024 through August 1, 2024 were made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan entered into by EOG on June 28, 2024. Also includes 311,060 total shares that were withheld by or returned to EOG during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, at an average price of $122.86 per share, (i) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations that arose upon the exercise of employee stock options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights or the vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock unit or performance unit grants or (ii) in payment of the exercise price of employee stock options (such shares do not count against the Share Repurchase Authorization).
(2)In November 2021, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) established a new share repurchase authorization that allows for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock (Share Repurchase Authorization). As of September 30, 2024, (i) EOG had repurchased an aggregate 26,680,275 shares at a total cost of $3,168,828,937 (inclusive of commissions and transaction fees) under the Share Repurchase Authorization and (ii) an additional $1,831,171,063 of shares remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Authorization. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Board increased the Share Repurchase Authorization from $5 billion to $10 billion, effective November 7, 2024.
(3)Under the Share Repurchase Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The Share Repurchase Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time.
