NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General. The condensed consolidated financial statements of EOG Resources, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, EOG), included herein have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included either on the face of the financial statements or in these notes are sufficient to make the interim information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 24, 2022 (EOG's 2021 Annual Report).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting treatment of contracts which are affected by the anticipated discontinuation of the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other rates resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under relevant accounting standards. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2020-04 covers certain contracts which reference these rates and that are entered into on or before December 31, 2022. EOG has evaluated the provisions of ASU 2020-04 and has concluded that the application of ASU 2020-04 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures related to its $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement.

2. Stock-Based Compensation
As more fully discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2021 Annual Report, EOG maintains various stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based upon the job function of the employees receiving the grants as follows (in millions):

The Amended and Restated EOG Resources, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (2008 Plan) provided for grants of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance units and other stock-based awards.
EOG's stockholders approved the EOG Resources, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (2021 Plan) at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Therefore, no further grants were made from the 2008 Plan from and after the April 29, 2021 effective date of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for grants of stock options, SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock units, restricted stock units with performance-based conditions (together with the performance units granted under the 2008 Plan, Performance Units) and other stock-based awards, up to an aggregate maximum of 20 million shares of common stock, plus any shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan as of April 29, 2021, that are subsequently canceled, forfeited, expire or are otherwise not issued or are settled in cash. Under the 2021 Plan, grants may be made to employees and non-employee members of EOG's Board of Directors (Board).
At September 30, 2022, approximately 16 million common shares remained available for grant under the 2021 Plan. EOG's policy is to issue shares related to the 2021 Plan grants from previously authorized unissued shares or treasury shares to the extent treasury shares are available.
Stock Options and Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of stock option grants and SAR grants is estimated using the Hull-White II binomial option pricing model. The fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $11 million and $20 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $28 million and $39 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Weighted average fair values and valuation assumptions used to value stock option, SAR and ESPP grants during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
| Stock Options/SARs | ESPP | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Expected volatility is based on an equal weighting of historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options in EOG's common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based upon United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. The expected life is based upon historical experience and contractual terms of stock option, SAR and ESPP grants.
The following table sets forth stock option and SAR transactions for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (stock options and SARs in thousands):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

(1)The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $122 million and $8 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is based upon the difference between the market price of EOG's common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the stock options/SARs.
(2)The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs outstanding at September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $194 million and $95 million, respectively. At both September 30, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 4.3
(3)The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs vested or expected to vest at September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $187 million and $90 million, respectively. At both September 30, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 4.3
(4)The total intrinsic value of stock options/SARs exercisable at September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $114 million and $38 million, respectively. At September 30, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 3.7 years and 3.2 years, respectively.
At September 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option, SAR and ESPP grants totaled $38 million. Such unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Employees may be granted restricted (non-vested) stock and/or restricted stock units without cost to them. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units totaled $18 million and $20 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $63 million and $65 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(1)The total intrinsic value of restricted stock and restricted stock units released during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $215 million and $104 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is based upon the closing price of EOG's common stock on the date the restricted stock and restricted stock units are released.
(2)The total intrinsic value of restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding at September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $472 million and $383 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units totaled $313 million. Such unrecognized expense will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.
Performance Units. EOG grants Performance Units annually to its executive officers without cost to them. For the grants made prior to September 2022, as more fully discussed in the grant agreements, the applicable performance metric is EOG's total shareholder return (TSR) over a three-year performance period relative to the TSR over the same period of a designated group of peer companies. Upon the application of the applicable performance multiple at the completion of the three-year performance period, a minimum of 0 % and a maximum of 200 % of the Performance Units granted could be outstanding.
For the grants made beginning in September 2022, as more fully discussed in the grant agreements, the applicable performance metrics are 1) EOG's TSR over a three-year performance period relative to the TSR over the same period of a designated group of peer companies and 2) EOG's average return on capital employed (ROCE) over the three-year performance period. At the end of the three-year performance period, a performance multiple based on EOGs relative TSR ranking will be determined, with a minimum performance multiple of 0 % and a maximum performance multiple of 200 %. A specified modifier ranging from -70 % to +70 % will then be applied to the performance multiple based on EOG's average ROCE over the three-year performance period, provided that in no event shall the performance multiple, after applying the ROCE modifier, be less than 0 % or exceed 200 %. Furthermore, if EOG's TSR over the three-year performance period is negative (i.e., less than 0 %), the performance multiple will be capped at 100 %, regardless of EOG's relative TSR ranking or three-year average ROCE.
The fair value of the Performance Units is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Unit grants totaled $5 million and $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $8 million and $13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

10. Long-Term Debt and Common Stock
Long-Term Debt. EOG had no
At September 30, 2022, the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of EOG's 2.625 % Senior Notes due 2023 were classified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
EOG currently has a $2.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (Agreement) with domestic and foreign lenders (Banks). The Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of June 27, 2024, and includes an option for EOG to extend, on up to two occasions, the term for successive one-year periods subject to certain terms and conditions. The Agreement (i) commits the Banks to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion at any one time outstanding, with an option for EOG to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $3.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions and (ii) includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility. Advances under the Agreement will accrue interest based, at EOG's option, on either LIBOR plus an applicable margin (Eurodollar rate) or the base rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus an applicable margin. The Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that EOG believes are customary for investment-grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a ratio of total debt-to-capitalization (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) of no greater than 65 %. At September 30, 2022, EOG was in compliance with this financial covenant. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no 4.04 % and 6.25 %, respectively.
Common Stock. On February 24, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.75 per share paid on April 29, 2022, to stockholders of record as of April 15, 2022.

See Note 12 for the balance sheet amounts and classification of EOG's financial commodity derivative instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The estimated fair value of financial commodity derivative contracts was based upon forward commodity price curves based on quoted market prices. Financial commodity derivative contracts were valued by utilizing an independent third-party derivative valuation provider who uses various types of valuation models, as applicable.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and is based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of asset retirement obligations include plugging costs and reserve lives. A reconciliation of EOG's asset retirement obligations is presented in Note 6.

When circumstances indicate that proved oil and gas properties may be impaired, EOG compares expected undiscounted future cash flows at a depreciation, depletion and amortization group level to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows, based on EOG's estimate of (and assumptions regarding) significant Level 3 inputs, including future crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas prices, operating costs, development expenditures, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally calculated using the Income Approach described in the FASB's Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. In certain instances, EOG utilizes accepted offers from third-party purchasers as the basis for determining fair value.
EOG utilized average prices per acre from comparable market transactions and estimated discounted cash flows as the basis for determining the fair value of unproved and proved properties, respectively, received in non-cash property exchanges. See Note 4.
Fair Value Disclosures. EOG's financial instruments, other than financial commodity derivative contracts, consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value.
At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, EOG had outstanding $4,890 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which had estimated fair values at such dates of approximately $4,667 million and $5,577 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was based upon quoted market prices and, where such prices were not available, other observable (Level 2) inputs regarding interest rates available to EOG at the end of each respective period.

12. Risk Management Activities
Commodity Price Risk. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2021 Annual Report, EOG engages in price risk management activities from time to time. These activities are intended to manage EOG's exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. EOG has not designated any of its financial commodity derivative contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method.
Financial Commodity Derivative Contracts. Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's financial commodity derivative contracts settled during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 (closed) and outstanding as of September 30, 2022. Crude oil volumes are presented in thousand barrels per day (MBbld) and prices are presented in dollars per barrel ($/Bbl).

The current portion of Liabilities from Price Risk Management Activities consists of gross liabilities of $421 million, partially offset by gross assets of $29 million and collateral posted with counterparties of $123 million, at December 31, 2021.
(3) The noncurrent portion of Liabilities from Price Risk Management Activities consists of gross liabilities of $810 million, partially offset by gross assets of $4 million and collateral posted with counterparties of $407 million at September 30, 2022. The noncurrent portion of Liabilities from Price Risk Management Activities consists of gross liabilities of $64 million, partially offset by gross assets of $10 million and collateral posted with counterparties of $17 million, at December 31, 2021.
Credit Risk. Notional contract amounts are used to express the magnitude of a financial derivative. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk, in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, are equal to the fair value of such contracts (see Note 11). EOG evaluates its exposures to significant counterparties on an ongoing basis, including those arising from physical and financial transactions. In some instances, EOG renegotiates payment terms and/or requires collateral, parent guarantees or letters of credit to minimize credit risk.
All of EOG's derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (ISDAs) with counterparties. The ISDAs may contain provisions that require EOG, if it is the party in a net liability position, to post collateral when the amount of the net liability exceeds the threshold level specified for EOG's then-current credit ratings. In addition, the ISDAs may also provide that as a result of certain circumstances, including certain events that cause EOG's credit ratings to become materially weaker than its then-current ratings, the counterparty may require all outstanding derivatives under the ISDAs to be settled immediately. See Note 11 for the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments that were in a net liability position at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. EOG had $686 million of collateral posted and no collateral held at September 30, 2022. EOG had $140 million of collateral posted and no collateral held at December 31, 2021. Due to changes in contracted volumes and commodity prices subsequent to September 30, 2022, EOG had $623 million of collateral posted at November 2, 2022.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EOG RESOURCES, INC.
Overview
EOG Resources, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, EOG), is one of the largest independent (non-integrated) crude oil and natural gas companies in the United States with proved reserves in the United States and Trinidad. EOG operates under a consistent business and operational strategy that focuses predominantly on maximizing the rate of return on investment of capital by controlling operating and capital costs and maximizing reserve recoveries. Pursuant to this strategy, each prospective drilling location is evaluated by its estimated rate of return. This strategy is intended to enhance the generation of cash flow and earnings from each unit of production on a cost-effective basis, allowing EOG to deliver long-term growth in shareholder value and maintain a strong balance sheet. EOG implements its strategy primarily by emphasizing the drilling of internally generated prospects in order to find and develop low-cost reserves. Maintaining the lowest possible operating cost structure, coupled with efficient and safe operations and robust environmental stewardship practices and performance, is integral in the implementation of EOG's strategy.
Commodity Prices. Prices for crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas have historically been volatile. This volatility is expected to continue due to the many uncertainties associated with the world political and economic environment and the global supply of, and demand for, crude oil, NGLs and natural gas and the availability of other energy supplies, the relative competitive relationships of the various energy sources in the view of consumers and other factors.
The market prices of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas impact the amount of cash generated from EOG's operating activities, which, in turn, impact EOG's financial position and results of operations.
For the first nine months of 2022, the average U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) crude oil and natural gas prices were $98.14 per barrel and $6.77 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), respectively, representing increases of 51% and 113%, respectively, from the average NYMEX prices for the same period in 2021. Market prices for NGLs are influenced by the components extracted, including ethane, propane and butane and natural gasoline, among others, and the respective market pricing for each component.
The increases in crude oil and natural gas prices during the first nine months of 2022 were due to numerous factors, including the continued recovery in demand for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; low worldwide inventory levels; continued supply restraint by OPEC+ (a consortium of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and certain non-OPEC global producers); and the impact resulting from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Inflation Considerations; Availability of Materials, Labor & Services. Beginning in the second half of 2021 and continuing through the first nine months of 2022, EOG, similar to other companies in its industry, has experienced inflationary pressures on its operating and capital costs - namely the costs of fuel, steel (i.e., wellbore tubulars and facilities manufactured using steel), labor and drilling and completion services. Such inflationary pressures have resulted from (i) supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting limited availability of certain materials and products manufactured using such materials; (ii) increased demand for fuel and steel; (iii) increased demand for drilling and completion services coupled with a limited number of available service providers, resulting in increased competition for such services among EOG and other companies in its industry; (iv) labor shortages; and (v) other factors, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine which began in late February 2022. EOG currently expects such inflationary pressures and contributing factors to continue into 2023.
-23-
Such inflationary pressures on EOG's operating costs have, in turn, impacted its cash flows and results of operations. However, by virtue of its continued focus on increasing its drilling, completion and operating efficiencies and improving the performance of its wells, as well as the flexibility provided by its multi-basin drilling portfolio, EOG has, to date, been able to largely offset such impacts. EOG currently expects such inflationary pressures to result in an increase of less than 10 percent in its fiscal year 2022 well costs (i.e., its costs for drilling, completions and well-site facilities) versus fiscal year 2021. Accordingly, such increase in EOG's fiscal year 2022 well costs has not, to date, had a material impact on EOG's results of operations, and EOG currently does not expect such increase to have a material impact on its full-year 2022 results of operations. Further, such inflationary pressures and the factors contributing to such inflationary pressures (described above) have not, to date, impacted EOG's liquidity, capital resources, cash requirements or financial position or its ability to conduct its day-to-day drilling, completion and production operations.
The initiatives EOG has undertaken (and continues to undertake) to increase its drilling, completion and operating efficiencies and improve the performance of its wells and, in turn, mitigate such inflationary pressures, include (among others): (i) EOG's downhole drilling motor program, which has resulted in increased footage drilled per day and, in turn, reduced drilling times; (ii) enhanced techniques for completing its wells, which has resulted in increased footage completed per day and pumping hours per day; and (iii) EOG's self-sourced sand program, which has resulted in continued costs savings for the sand utilized in its well completion operations. In addition, EOG enters into agreements with its service providers from time to time, when available and advantageous, to secure the costs and availability of certain of the drilling and completion services it utilizes as part of its operations.
EOG plans to continue with these initiatives and actions, though there can be no assurance that such efforts will offset, largely or at all, the impacts of any future inflationary pressures on EOG's operating costs, cash flows and results of operations. Further, there can be no assurance that the factors contributing to any future inflationary pressures will not impact EOG's ability to conduct its future day-to-day drilling, completion and production operations.
United States. EOG's efforts to identify plays with large reserve potential have proven to be successful. EOG continues to drill numerous wells in large acreage plays, which in the aggregate have contributed substantially to, and are expected to continue to contribute substantially to, EOG's crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas production. EOG has placed an emphasis on applying its horizontal drilling and completion expertise to unconventional crude oil plays and natural gas plays.
During the first nine months of 2022, EOG continued to focus on increasing drilling, completion and operating efficiencies, to improve well performance and, as is further discussed above, to mitigate inflationary pressures on its operating and capital costs (e.g., costs for fuel and tubulars). In addition, EOG continued to evaluate certain potential crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas exploration and development prospects and to look for opportunities to add drilling inventory through leasehold acquisitions, farm-ins, exchanges or tactical or bolt-on acquisitions. On a volumetric basis, as calculated using the ratio of 1.0 barrel of crude oil and condensate or NGLs to 6.0 thousand cubic feet of natural gas, crude oil and condensate and NGLs production accounted for approximately 75% of EOG's United States production during both the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the first nine months of 2022, EOG's drilling and completion activities occurred primarily in the Delaware Basin play, Eagle Ford oil play and Rocky Mountain area. EOG's major producing areas in the United States are in New Mexico and Texas.
Trinidad. In the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad), EOG continues to deliver natural gas under existing supply contracts. Several fields in the South East Coast Consortium Block, Modified U(a) Block, Block 4(a), Modified U(b) Block, the Banyan Field and the Sercan Area have been developed and are producing natural gas which is sold to the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited and its subsidiary (NGC), and crude oil and condensate which is sold to Heritage Petroleum Company Limited (Heritage). In July 2022, EOG amended the natural gas sales contract with NGC to extend the term and provide for an increase in price realizations if index prices for certain commodities exceed specified levels. The pricing component of this amendment was effective September 2020.
In March 2021, EOG signed a farmout agreement with Heritage, which allows EOG to earn a 65% working interest in a portion of the contract area (EOG Area) governed by the Trinidad Northern Area License. The EOG Area is located offshore the southwest coast of Trinidad. In the first nine months of 2022, EOG prepared for and drilled one net exploratory well, which was determined to be unsuccessful.
-24-
Also, in the first nine months of 2022, EOG continued to make progress on the design, fabrication and installation of the platform and related facilities for its previously-announced discovery in the Modified U(a) Block. In the fourth quarter of 2022, EOG expects to complete the installation of the platform and facilities and commence the development drilling campaign in the Modified U(a) Block. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2022, EOG commenced the drilling of one net exploratory well from a pre-existing platform in the Modified U(a) Block, which was in progress at September 30, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, EOG also expects to complete and put on production one net exploratory well that was started in the third quarter of 2022 and to drill one additional net exploratory well from the same platform.
Other International. In November 2021, a subsidiary of EOG was granted an exploration permit for the WA-488-P Block, located offshore Western Australia. In the first nine months of 2022, EOG continued to prepare for the drilling of an exploration well which is expected to commence in 2023, subject to statutory approvals.
EOG continues to evaluate other select crude oil and natural gas opportunities outside the United States, primarily by pursuing exploitation opportunities in countries where indigenous crude oil and natural gas reserves have been identified.
2022 Capital and Operating Plan. Total 2022 capital expenditures are estimated to range from approximately $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion, including facilities and gathering, processing and other expenditures, and excluding acquisitions, non-cash transactions and exploration costs. EOG plans to continue to focus a substantial portion of its exploration and development expenditures in its major producing areas in the United States. In particular, EOG will be focused on United States drilling activity in the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford oil play, Rocky Mountain area and Dorado gas play where it generates its highest rates-of-return. To further enhance the economics of these plays, EOG expects to continue to improve well performance and to mitigate recent inflationary pressures on its operating and capital costs (e.g., costs for fuel and tubulars) through efficiency gains; see above related discussion. Full-year 2022 total crude oil, NGLs and natural gas production is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels. In addition, EOG plans to continue to spend a portion of its anticipated 2022 capital expenditures on leasing acreage, evaluating new prospects, transportation infrastructure and environmental projects.
Management continues to believe EOG has one of the strongest prospect inventories in EOG's history. When it fits EOG's strategy, EOG will make acquisitions that bolster existing drilling programs or offer incremental exploration and/or production opportunities.
Capital Structure. One of management's key strategies is to maintain a strong balance sheet with a consistently below average debt-to-total capitalization ratio as compared to those in EOG's peer group. EOG's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 18% and 19% at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As used in this calculation, total capitalization represents the sum of total current and long-term debt and total stockholders' equity.
At September 30, 2022, EOG maintained a strong financial and liquidity position, including $5.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $2.0 billion of availability under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
EOG has significant flexibility with respect to financing alternatives, including borrowings under its commercial paper program, bank borrowings, borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, joint development agreements and similar agreements and equity and debt offerings.
Dividend Declarations. On February 24, 2022, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.75 per share paid on April 29, 2022, to stockholders of record as of April 15, 2022. The Board also declared on such date a special dividend of $1.00 per share paid on March 29, 2022, to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022.
On May 5, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.75 per share paid on July 29, 2022, to stockholders of record as of July 15, 2022. The Board also declared on such date a special dividend of $1.80 per share paid on June 30, 2022, to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2022.
On August 4, 2022, the Board declared a special dividend on the common stock of $1.50 per share paid on September 29, 2022, to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2022.
On September 29, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.75 per share paid on October 31, 2022, to stockholders of record as of October 17, 2022.
-25-
On November 3, 2022, the Board (i) increased the quarterly cash dividend on the common stock from the previous $0.75 per share to $0.825 per share, effective beginning with the dividend payable on January 31, 2023, to stockholders of record as of January 17, 2023, and (ii) declared a special cash dividend on the common stock of $1.50 per share, payable on December 30, 2022, to stockholders of record as of December 15, 2022.
Cash Return Framework. Also on May 5, 2022, EOG announced the addition of quantitative guidance to its cash return framework - specifically, a commitment to return a minimum of 60% of annual net cash provided by operating activities before certain balance sheet-related changes, less total capital expenditures, to stockholders, through a combination of quarterly dividends, special dividends and share repurchases. For related discussion regarding our payment of dividends, see ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, and ITEM 5, Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities, of EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 24, 2022 (EOG's 2021 Annual Report).

-27-
Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the third quarter of 2022 increased $1,180 million, or 40%, to $4,109 million from $2,929 million for the same period of 2021. The increase was due to a higher composite average price ($1,087 million) and an increase of 15.6 MBbld, or 3%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($93 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin, partially offset by decreased production in the Eagle Ford oil play and the Rocky Mountain area. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the third quarter of 2022 increased 36% to $96.04 per barrel compared to $70.85 per barrel for the same period of 2021.
NGL revenues for the third quarter of 2022 increased $145 million, or 26%, to $693 million from $548 million for the same period of 2021 due to an increase of 51.4 MBbld, or 33%, in NGL deliveries ($177 million), partially offset by a lower composite average price ($32 million). Increased production was primarily from the Permian Basin. EOG's composite NGL price for the third quarter of 2022 decreased 5% to $36.02 per barrel compared to $37.72 per barrel for the same period of 2021.
Wellhead natural gas revenues for the third quarter of 2022 increased $667 million, or 117%, to $1,235 million from $568 million for the same period of 2021. The increase was due to a higher average composite price ($650 million) and an increase in natural gas deliveries ($17 million). Natural gas deliveries for the third quarter of 2022 increased 47 MMcfd, or 3%, compared to the same period of 2021 due primarily to higher deliveries in the Dorado gas play and increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin, partially offset by lower natural gas deliveries in Trinidad and lower natural gas volumes due to the sale of certain legacy natural gas assets in the Rocky Mountain area in the first quarter of 2022. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the third quarter of 2022 increased 111% to $9.14 per Mcf compared to $4.34 per Mcf for the same period of 2021.
During the third quarter of 2022, EOG recognized net losses on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $18 million compared to net losses of $494 million for the same period of 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $847 million, of which $63 million was related to the early termination of certain contracts scheduled to settle after December 31, 2022. Net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $293 million for the same period of 2021.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues are revenues generated from sales of third-party crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as fees associated with gathering third-party natural gas and revenues from sales of EOG-owned sand. Purchases and sales of third-party crude oil and natural gas may be utilized in order to balance firm capacity at third-party facilities with production in certain areas and to utilize excess capacity at EOG-owned facilities. EOG sells sand in order to balance the timing of firm purchase agreements with completion operations. Marketing costs represent the costs to purchase third-party crude oil, natural gas and sand and the associated transportation costs, as well as costs associated with EOG-owned sand sold to third parties.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $62 million as compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower margins on crude oil marketing activities, partially offset by higher margins on natural gas marketing activities.

Operating and Other Expenses. For the third quarter of 2022, operating expenses of $3,929 million were $635 million higher than the $3,294 million incurred during the third quarter of 2021. The following table presents the costs per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, gathering and processing costs, DD&A, G&A and net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021, are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues and Other" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.
Lease and well expenses include expenses for EOG-operated properties, as well as expenses billed to EOG from other operators where EOG is not the operator of a property. Lease and well expenses can be divided into the following categories: costs to operate and maintain crude oil and natural gas wells, the cost of workovers and lease and well administrative expenses. Operating and maintenance costs include, among other things, pumping services, produced water disposal, equipment repair and maintenance, compression expense, lease upkeep and fuel and power. Workovers are operations to restore or maintain production from existing wells.
Each of these categories of costs individually fluctuates from time to time as EOG attempts to maintain and increase production while maintaining efficient, safe and environmentally responsible operations. EOG continues to increase its operating activities by drilling new wells in existing and new areas. Operating and maintenance costs within these existing and new areas, as well as the costs of services charged to EOG by vendors, fluctuate over time.
Lease and well expenses of $335 million for the third quarter of 2022 increased $65 million from $270 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs ($60 million) and increased workover expenditures ($8 million), both in the United States. Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.
Transportation costs represent costs associated with the delivery of hydrocarbon products from the lease or an aggregation point on EOG's gathering system to a downstream point of sale. Transportation costs include transportation fees, storage and terminal fees, the cost of compression (the cost of compressing natural gas to meet pipeline pressure requirements), the cost of dehydration (the cost associated with removing water from natural gas to meet pipeline requirements), gathering fees and fuel costs.
Transportation costs of $257 million for the third quarter of 2022 increased $38 million from $219 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs related to production from the Permian Basin.
Gathering and processing costs represent operating and maintenance expenses and administrative expenses associated with operating EOG's gathering and processing assets as well as natural gas processing fees and certain NGL fractionation fees paid to third parties. EOG pays third parties to process the majority of its natural gas production to extract NGLs.
-29-
Gathering and processing costs increased $22 million to $167 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $145 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased gathering and processing fees related to production from the Permian Basin ($22 million) and increased operating and maintenance expenses related to production from the Permian Basin ($14 million) and the Eagle Ford oil play ($5 million), partially offset by decreased gathering and processing fees related to production from the Eagle Ford oil play ($11 million) and due to the sale of certain legacy natural gas assets in the Rocky Mountain area in the first quarter of 2022 ($9 million).
G&A expenses of $162 million for the third quarter of 2022 increased $20 million from $142 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased professional and other services.
DD&A of the cost of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production method. EOG's DD&A rate and expense are the composite of numerous individual DD&A group calculations. There are several factors that can impact EOG's composite DD&A rate and expense, such as field production profiles, drilling or acquisition of new wells, disposition of existing wells and reserve revisions (upward or downward) primarily related to well performance, economic factors and impairments. Changes to these factors may cause EOG's composite DD&A rate and expense to fluctuate from period to period. DD&A of the cost of other property, plant and equipment is generally calculated using the straight-line depreciation method over the useful lives of the assets.
DD&A expenses for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $21 million to $906 million from $927 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the third quarter of 2022 were $24 million lower than the same prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects decreased unit rates in the United States ($108 million) and decreased production in Trinidad ($4 million), partially offset by increased production in the United States ($89 million). Unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions related to higher average crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices used in the reserve estimation process and to reserves added at lower costs as a result of increased efficiencies.
Exploration costs of $35 million for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $9 million from $44 million for the same prior year period due primarily to decreased geological and geophysical expenditures in the United States.
Interest expense, net of $41 million for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $7 million compared to the same prior year period primarily due to decreased interest expense on certain royalty payments.
Impairments include: amortization of unproved oil and gas property costs as well as impairments of proved oil and gas properties; other property, plant and equipment; and other assets. Unproved properties with acquisition costs that are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be nonproductive is amortized over the remaining lease term. Unproved properties with individually significant acquisition costs are reviewed individually for impairment. When circumstances indicate that a proved property may be impaired, EOG compares expected undiscounted future cash flows at a DD&A group level to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows, based on EOG's estimates of (and assumptions regarding) future crude oil, NGLs and natural gas prices, operating costs, development expenditures, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally calculated by using the Income Approach described in the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification. In certain instances, EOG utilizes accepted offers from third-party purchasers as the basis for determining fair value.
The following table represents impairments for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 (in millions):

-30-
Taxes other than income include severance/production taxes, ad valorem/property taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes and other miscellaneous taxes. Severance/production taxes are generally determined based on wellhead revenues, and ad valorem/property taxes are generally determined based on the valuation of the underlying assets.
Taxes other than income for the third quarter of 2022 increased $57 million to $334 million (5.5% of wellhead revenues) from $277 million (6.8% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes ($145 million) and increased ad valorem/property taxes ($27 million), partially offset by increased state severance tax refunds ($116 million), all in the United States.
Other income, net was $40 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to other income, net of $6 million for the same prior year period. The change of $34 million in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to increased interest income ($30 million) and higher equity income from ammonia plants in Trinidad ($4 million).
EOG recognized an income tax provision of $809 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to an income tax provision of $334 million for the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased pretax income. The net effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 decreased to 22% from 23% for the third quarter of 2021.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Operating Revenues. During the first nine months of 2022, operating revenues increased $6,385 million, or 51%, to $18,983 million from $12,598 million for the same period of 2021. Total wellhead revenues for the first nine months of 2022 increased $7,094 million, or 66%, to $17,799 million from $10,705 million for the same period of 2021. During the first nine months of 2022, EOG recognized net losses on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $4,215 million compared to net losses of $1,288 million for the same period of 2021. Gathering, processing and marketing revenues for the first nine months of 2022 increased $2,143 million, or 70%, to $5,199 million from $3,056 million for the same period of 2021. Net gains on asset dispositions were $101 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to net gains of $46 million for the same period of 2021.

(1) Excludes the impact of financial commodity derivative instruments (see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
(2) Includes revenue adjustment of $0.96 per Mcf ($0.12 per Mcf of EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price) related to a price adjustment per a provision of the natural gas sales contract with NGC amended in July 2022 for natural gas sales during the period from September 2020 through June 2022.

Wellhead crude oil and condensate revenues for the first nine months of 2022 increased $4,818 million, or 61%, to $12,697 million from $7,879 million for the same period of 2021 due to a higher composite average price ($4,525 million) and an increase of 16.8 MBbld, or 4%, in wellhead crude oil and condensate production ($293 million). Increased production was primarily in the Permian Basin, partially offset by decreased production in the Eagle Ford oil play and the Rocky Mountain area. EOG's composite wellhead crude oil and condensate price for the first nine months of 2022 increased 55% to $101.14 per barrel compared to $65.14 per barrel for the same period of 2021.
NGL revenues for the first nine months of 2022 increased $922 million, or 75%, to $2,151 million from $1,229 million for the same period of 2021 due to an increase of 60.2 MBbld, or 43%, in NGL deliveries ($527 million) and a higher composite average price ($395 million). Increased production was primarily from the Permian Basin. EOG's composite NGL price for the first nine months of 2022 increased 23% to $39.29 per barrel compared to $32.07 per barrel for the same period of 2021.
Wellhead natural gas revenues for the first nine months of 2022 increased $1,354 million, or 85%, to $2,951 million from $1,597 million for the same period of 2021. The increase was due to a higher composite wellhead natural gas price ($1,262 million) and an increase in natural gas deliveries ($92 million). Natural gas deliveries for the first nine months of 2022 increased 82 MMcfd, or 6%, compared to the same period of 2021 due primarily to higher deliveries in the Dorado gas play and increased production of associated natural gas from the Permian Basin, partially offset by lower natural gas volumes due to the sale of certain legacy natural gas assets in the Rocky Mountain area in the first quarter of 2022, lower natural gas deliveries in Trinidad and lower natural gas volumes associated with the disposition of the China assets in the second quarter of 2021. EOG's composite wellhead natural gas price for the first nine months of 2022 increased 75% to $7.28 per Mcf compared to $4.17 per Mcf for the same period of 2021.
During the first nine months of 2022, EOG recognized net losses on the mark-to-market of financial commodity derivative contracts of $4,215 million compared to net losses of $1,288 million for the same period of 2021. During the first nine months of 2022, net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $3,257 million, of which $1,391 million was related to the early termination of certain contracts. Such early termination payments included $307 million to terminate contracts scheduled to settle in the second half of 2022 and $1,084 million to terminate contracts scheduled to settle after December 31, 2022. Net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts was $516 million for the same period of 2021.
Gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs for the first nine months of 2022 increased $125 million as compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to higher margins on natural gas marketing activities.
Operating and Other Expenses. For the first nine months of 2022, operating expenses of $11,870 million were $2,846 million higher than the $9,024 million incurred during the same period of 2021. The following table presents the costs per Boe for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

The primary factors impacting the cost components of per-unit rates of lease and well, transportation costs, gathering and processing costs, DD&A, and G&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021 are set forth below. See "Operating Revenues" above for a discussion of wellhead volumes.
Lease and well expenses of $977 million for the first nine months of 2022 increased $167 million from $810 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased operating and maintenance costs ($135 million) and increased workover expenditures ($32 million), both in the United States. Lease and well expenses increased in the United States primarily due to increased operating activities resulting in increased production.
Transportation costs of $729 million for the first nine months of 2022 increased $94 million from $635 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased transportation costs related to production from the Permian Basin ($75 million), the Eagle Ford oil play ($14 million) and the Dorado gas play ($7 million).
Gathering and processing costs increased $51 million to $463 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $412 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased gathering and processing fees related to production from the Permian Basin ($54 million) and increased operating and maintenance expenses related to production from the Permian Basin ($34 million) and the Eagle Ford oil play ($7 million), partially offset by decreased gathering and processing fees related to production from the Eagle Ford oil play ($28 million) and due to the sale of certain legacy natural gas assets in the Rocky Mountain area in the first quarter of 2022 ($19 million).
G&A expenses of $414 million for the first nine months of 2022 increased $42 million from $372 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased professional and other services ($22 million) and employee-related costs ($21 million).
DD&A expenses for the first nine months of 2022 decreased $77 million to $2,664 million from $2,741 million for the same prior year period. DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the first nine months of 2022 were $81 million lower than the same prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects decreased unit rates in the United States ($379 million) and in Trinidad ($7 million), decreased production in Trinidad ($10 million) and decreased production associated with the disposition of the China assets in the second quarter of 2021 ($5 million), partially offset by increased production in the United States ($321 million). Unit rates in the United States decreased primarily due to upward reserve revisions related to higher average crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices used in the reserve estimation process and to reserves added at lower costs as a result of increased efficiencies.

Taxes other than income for the first nine months of 2022 increased $465 million to $1,196 million (6.7% of wellhead revenues) from $731 million (6.8% of wellhead revenues) for the same prior year period. The increase in taxes other than income was primarily due to increased severance/production taxes ($492 million), increased ad valorem/property taxes ($84 million) and increased payroll taxes ($6 million), partially offset by increased state severance tax refunds ($118 million), all in the United States.
Other income, net was $66 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to other income, net of zero for the same prior year period. The change of $66 million in the first nine months of 2022 was primarily due to increased interest income ($36 million) and higher equity income from ammonia plants in Trinidad ($27 million).
EOG recognized an income tax provision of $1,560 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to an income tax provision of $755 million for the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to increased pretax income. The net effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2022 was unchanged from the prior year tax rate of 22%.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash Flow. The primary sources of cash for EOG during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were funds generated from operations and proceeds from sales of assets. The primary uses of cash were funds used in operations; dividend payments to stockholders; exploration and development expenditures; net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts; net collateral posted for financial commodity derivative contracts; and other property, plant and equipment expenditures. During the first nine months of 2022, EOG's cash balance increased $63 million to $5,272 million from $5,209 million at December 31, 2021.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $7,649 million for the first nine months of 2022 increased $2,024 million compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to an increase in wellhead revenues ($7,094 million) and an increase in gathering, processing and marketing revenues less marketing costs ($125 million), partially offset by an increase in net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts ($2,741 million), an unfavorable change in net cash paid for income taxes ($1,284 million), an increase in cash operating expenses ($832 million), net cash used in working capital and other assets and liabilities in the first nine months of 2022 ($999 million) compared to net cash used in working capital and other assets and liabilities in the first nine months of 2021 ($590 million) and an increase in net collateral posted for financial commodity derivative contracts ($238 million).
Net cash used in investing activities of $3,659 million for the first nine months of 2022 increased $1,077 million compared to the same period of 2021 due to an increase in additions to oil and gas properties ($701 million), net cash used in working capital associated with investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 ($301 million) compared to net cash provided by working capital associated with investing activities in the first nine months of 2021 ($100 million), an increase in additions to other property, plant and equipment ($101 million) and an increase in other investing activities ($30 million), partially offset by an increase in proceeds from the sale of assets ($156 million).
Net cash used in financing activities of $3,926 million for the first nine months of 2022 included cash dividend payments ($3,821 million), purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($95 million) and repayment of finance lease liabilities ($27 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $2,079 million for the first nine months of 2021 included cash dividend payments ($1,278 million), repayments of long-term debt ($750 million), purchases of treasury stock in connection with stock compensation plans ($33 million) and repayment of finance lease liabilities ($27 million).

Total Expenditures. For the year 2022, EOG's updated budget for exploration and development and other property, plant and equipment expenditures is estimated to range from approximately $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion, excluding acquisitions, non-cash transactions and exploration costs. The table below sets out components of total expenditures for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions):

(1) Leasehold acquisitions included $107 million and $37 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to non-cash property exchanges.
(2) Property acquisitions included $6 million and $4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to non-cash property exchanges.
(3) Other property, plant and equipment included $74 million of non-cash additions for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, primarily related to finance lease transactions for storage facilities.
Exploration and development expenditures of $3,618 million for the first nine months of 2022 were $777 million higher than the same period of 2021 primarily due to increased exploration and development drilling expenditures in the United States ($520 million) and increased property acquisitions ($299 million), partially offset by decreased leasehold acquisitions ($46 million) and decreased exploration and development drilling expenditures in Other International ($21 million). Exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of 2022 of $3,618 million consisted of $2,822 million in development drilling and facilities, $398 million in property acquisitions, $372 million in exploration and $26 million in capitalized interest. Exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months of 2021 of $2,841 million consisted of $2,299 million in development drilling and facilities, $419 million in exploration, $99 million in property acquisitions and $24 million in capitalized interest.
The level of exploration and development expenditures, including acquisitions, will vary in future periods depending on energy market conditions and other economic factors. EOG believes it has significant flexibility and availability with respect to financing alternatives and the ability to adjust its exploration and development expenditure budget as circumstances warrant. While EOG has certain continuing commitments associated with expenditure plans related to its operations, such commitments are not expected to be material when considered in relation to the total financial capacity of EOG.

Financial Commodity Derivative Transactions. As more fully discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in EOG's 2021 Annual Report, EOG engages in price risk management activities from time to time. These activities are intended to manage EOG's exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. EOG utilizes financial commodity derivative instruments, primarily price swap, option, swaption, collar and basis swap contracts, as a means to manage this price risk. EOG has not designated any of its financial commodity derivative contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, accounts for financial commodity derivative contracts using the mark-to-market accounting method. Under this accounting method, changes in the fair value of outstanding financial instruments are recognized as gains or losses in the period of change and are recorded as Losses on Mark-to-Market Financial Commodity Derivative Contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The related cash flow impact is reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The total fair value of EOG's financial commodity derivative contracts, net of associated collateral posted, was reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2022, as a net liability of $642 million.
As discussed in "Operating Revenues and Other," the net cash paid for settlements of financial commodity derivative contracts during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was $847 million and $3,257 million, respectively, of which $63 million and $1,391 million, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was related to the early termination of certain contracts; see the below summary tables for further discussion.
Presented below is a comprehensive summary of EOG's financial commodity derivative contracts settled during the period from January 1, 2022 to October 28, 2022 (closed) and outstanding as of October 28, 2022. Crude oil and NGL volumes are presented in MBbld and prices are presented in $/Bbl. Natural gas volumes are presented in MMBtu per day (MMBtud) and prices are presented in dollars per MMBtu ($/MMBtu).

In connection with its financial commodity derivative contracts, EOG had $623 million of collateral posted at November 2, 2022. EOG expects this collateral to be applied to the settlement of financial commodity derivative contracts if market prices remain above contract prices. The amount of posted collateral will increase or decrease based on fluctuations in forward NYMEX WTI and Henry Hub prices.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements and projections regarding EOG's future financial position, operations, performance, business strategy, goals, returns and rates of return, budgets, reserves, levels of production, capital expenditures, costs and asset sales, statements regarding future commodity prices and statements regarding the plans and objectives of EOG's management for future operations, are forward‐looking statements. EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target," "aims," "ambition," "initiative," "goal," "may," "will," "focused on," "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 and rates of return, replace or increase drilling locations, reduce or otherwise control operating costs and capital expenditures, generate cash flows, pay down or refinance indebtedness, achieve, reach or otherwise meet initiatives, plans, goals, ambitions or targets with respect to emissions, other environmental matters, safety matters or other ESG (environmental/social/governance) matters, 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:

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 recent amendments to this 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. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental proceedings to disclose for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, EOG's share repurchase activity:
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) | Average Price Paid Per Share | Total Value of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| July 1, 2022 - July 31, 2022 | 6,149 | $ | 108.69 | — | $ | 5,000,000,000 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| August 1, 2022 - August 31, 2022 | 18,473 | 115.99 | — | $ | 5,000,000,000 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| September 1, 2022 - September 30, 2022 | 321,946 | 105.79 | — | $ | 5,000,000,000 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | 346,568 | 106.39 | — | |||||||||||||||||||||||
(1)The 346,568 total shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, consist solely of shares that were withheld by or returned to EOG (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. These shares do not count against the November 2021 Authorization (as defined and further discussed below).
(2)Effective November 4, 2021, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) (i) established a new share repurchase authorization to allow for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock (November 2021 Authorization). Under the new 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, if any, will be at the discretion of EOG's management and will depend on a variety of factors, including the then-trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and economic conditions. Repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares and will be available for general corporate purposes. The November 2021 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. EOG has not repurchased any shares under the November 2021 Authorization as of the date of this filing.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
The information concerning mine safety violations and other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
It is currently anticipated that EOG's 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (2023 Annual Meeting) will be held on May 24, 2023, at a time and location to be determined and specified in EOG's proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting.
Because the 2023 Annual Meeting is anticipated to be held more than 30 days after the anniversary of EOG's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (2022 Annual Meeting), EOG has set December 2, 2022 as the new deadline for submission of stockholder proposals for inclusion in EOG's proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (Rule 14a-8).

Donaldson), at our principal executive offices at 1111 Bagby, Sky Lobby 2, Houston, Texas 77002, no later than December 2, 2022. Such proposals must also comply with the remaining requirements of Rule 14a-8.
For director nominations or other business (other than stockholder proposals under Rule 14a-8) to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by any of our stockholders, timely notice, in writing, must be given to our Corporate Secretary. As previously disclosed in EOG's proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting, to be timely with respect to our 2023 Annual Meeting, notice shall be delivered, in writing, to our Corporate Secretary (Michael P. Donaldson) at our principal executive offices at 1111 Bagby, Sky Lobby 2, Houston, Texas 77002, no earlier than the close of business on November 10, 2022 and no later than the close of business on December 12, 2022.

Exhibit 95
Mine Safety Disclosure Exhibit
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the related rules promulgated thereunder by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), each operator of a coal or other mine is required to disclose certain mine safety matters in its periodic reports filed with the SEC.
EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) has had sand mining facilities in Texas and Wisconsin, which have supported EOG's exploration and development operations. EOG's sand mining facilities have been subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act). MSHA inspects mining facilities on a regular basis and issues citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act.
EOG was the operator of record of the following sand mining facilities during the quarter ended September 30, 2022:
•Hood County Sand Plant - Hood County, TX (MSHA ID 41-04696);
•Rawhide Sand Plant - Hood County, TX (MSHA ID 41-04777); and
•Chippewa Falls Sand Plant - Chippewa County, WI (MSHA ID 47-03624).
__________
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, EOG did not receive any of the following from MSHA: (i) a citation for a violation of a mandatory health or safety standard that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard under Section 104 of the Mine Act; (ii) an order issued under Section 104(b) of the Mine Act; (iii) a citation or order for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act; (iv) written notice of a flagrant violation under Section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act; (v) an imminent danger order issued under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act; (vi) any proposed assessments under the Mine Act; (vii) written notice of a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act; or (viii) written notice of the potential to have such a pattern. Moreover, during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, EOG did not experience a mining-related fatality.
In addition, as of September 30, 2022, EOG did not have any legal action pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (Mine Commission) and did not have any legal actions instituted or resolved before the Mine Commission during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
