FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, February 1, 2006

HOUSTON - EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) today reported fourth quarter 2005 net income available to common of $461.8 million, or $1.88 per share. This compares to fourth quarter 2004 net income available to common of $204.1 million, or $0.85* per share. For the full year 2005, EOG reported net income available to common of $1,252.1 million or $5.13 per share as compared to $614.0 million, or $2.58* per share, for the full year 2004.

The results for the fourth quarter 2005 included the following previously disclosed items: a one-time tax expense of $23.6 million ($0.10 per share) related to the repatriation of accumulated foreign earnings, an $11.4 million ($7.3 million after tax or $0.03 per share) gain on the mark-to-market of financial commodity price transactions and a one-time interest charge of $7.5 million ($4.9 million after tax or $0.02 per share) related to the early retirement of EOG's 2008 Notes. During the quarter, there was no cash realized related to financial commodity contracts. Consistent with some analysts' practice of matching realizations to settlement months and to exclude the impact of the above one-time items, adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common for the quarter was $482.9 million, or $1.97 per share. Last year's fourth quarter results included a $2.8 million ($1.8 million after tax, or $0.01* per share) gain on the mark-to-market of financial commodity price transactions. The net cash outflow from the settlement of financial commodity price transactions was $12.7 million ($8.1 million after tax, or $0.03* per share). Reflecting these items, fourth quarter 2004 adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common was $194.2 million, or $0.81* per share. On a similar basis, eliminating the one-time items detailed in the attached table, adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common for the full year 2005 was $1,271.5 million, or $5.21 per share and for the full year 2004 was $576.6 million, or $2.42* per share. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net income available to common to net income available to common.)

*Fourth quarter and full year 2004 per share amounts are restated for the two-for-one stock split effective March 1, 2005.

2006 Production Growth Target Increased

"Without a doubt, 2005 was EOG's strongest year to date. Through the consistent, successful execution of our drilling program, we exceeded our goals for total company production growth and increased North American natural gas production beyond our target while reducing net debt. Even though we are coming off a higher 2005 production base than we had targeted, we have the confidence to increase our 2006 production growth goals from the previously stated 9.5 percent to 10.5 percent. We expect a disproportionate amount of this 2006 production increase to emanate from our higher margin natural gas activities in the U.S. and Canada where we are targeting 16.5 percent growth," said Mark G. Papa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Operational Highlights

For the full year 2005, total company production increased 16.2 percent on a daily basis as compared to 2004, exceeding the most recently stated production growth target of 15.5 percent. In the United States and Canada, where EOG posted outstanding operational results, natural gas production increased 12.2 percent. The largest production increases were reported from the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale Play, East Texas, North Louisiana, the Mid-Continent and the Rocky Mountains.

EOG holds more than 500,000 total acres in the Barnett Shale where it currently operates 12-rigs.  Over the course of 2006, EOG plans to expand its drilling program across the play to a 22-rig program.

In Johnson County, the Raam Unit #1H well began natural gas production in January at an initial rate of 10 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd).  After 10 days of sales, the well, in which EOG has a 100 percent working interest, is producing 8 MMcfd. In northeastern Johnson County, the Scottie Dog #2H, in which EOG has an 88 percent working interest, was completed in late December at an initial gross rate of 7.0 MMcfd. The well is currently producing 3.9 MMcfd, gross of natural gas. In western Johnson County, EOG has a 100 percent working interest in the Brown Unit #1H that began flowing to sales in January and is now producing 3.8 MMcfd.

"The Raam #1H is one of the best natural gas wells completed by any operator in the entire Barnett Shale Play, not just in Johnson County," Papa said.  "With the results of our down spacing tests and the strength of our drilling activity, in 2006 we plan to pursue development in Johnson County on 500-foot spacing."

In the western counties of Jack, Erath and Hood, EOG is doubling its drilling activity to a four-rig program in the first quarter of 2006.  

"We believe that the completion techniques that further improved our drilling economics in Johnson County can be applied to our acreage in the western counties where we have seen improved drilling results over the past three months," Papa said. "This provides the assurance to actively pursue development in these areas."

During 2005, total daily production increased 40 percent from 2004 in the United Kingdom North Sea and offshore Trinidad. EOG reported its first full year of production from the United Kingdom North Sea.

In Trinidad, total 2005 daily production increased 25 percent over the previous year. During 2005, EOG commenced natural gas production to supply two new long-term contracts. EOG is supplying natural gas that is being used as feedstock for the M5000 Methanol Plant, which began operation in September, and for Atlantic LNG Train 4, which started taking gas in December prior to plant commissioning. During the fourth quarter 2005, EOG's natural gas deliveries to the two plants exceeded expected volumes. EOG also reported exploration success from its first well, the 4(a) E-1, drilled on Block 4(a) offshore Trinidad, which encountered 399 feet of net gas pay from multiple sands. EOG has a 90 percent working interest in the block where it plans to immediately drill a second well, the E-2, into an adjoining fault block.

"Based on the drilling results from the E-1, we expect that together the E-1 and E-2 wells will prove up 200 to 400 net billion cubic feet of gas on Block 4(a). We intend to commence development work by mid-2006 and are targeting mid-2009 for on-line production," said Papa.

Reserves

At December 31, 2005, total company reserves were approximately 6.2 trillion cubic feet equivalent, an increase of 548 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe), or almost 10 percent higher than 2004. From drilling alone, EOG added 1,046 Bcfe of reserves. For the year, total reserve replacement - the ratio of net reserve additions from drilling, acquisitions, revisions and dispositions to total production - was 204 percent. (Please see attached tables for supporting data.)

"In the current rising cost environment, we consider the all-in unit reserve replacement costs, which are essentially flat with those of 2004 to be excellent," said Papa. (Please see attached tables for supporting data.)

For the 18th consecutive year, internal reserve estimates were within 5 percent of those prepared by the independent reserve engineering firm of DeGolyer and MacNaughton. The firm prepared an independent engineering analysis of properties containing 82 percent of EOG's proved reserves on a Bcfe basis.

Capital Structure

At December 31, 2005, EOG's total current and long-term debt outstanding was $985 million, and cash on the balance sheet was $644 million for net debt of $341 million. (Please refer to the attached tables for the reconciliation of non-GAAP net debt to current and long-term debt.) The company's debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 19 percent at December 31, 2005, down from 27 percent at December 31, 2004.

"In 2005, we executed a dynamic drilling program, posted a 16.2 percent daily production increase, achieved a 35.5 percent return on equity and a 30 percent return on capital employed, while paying down debt to end the year with a 7 percent net debt to total capitalization ratio," said Papa. "We expect to continue delivering on our consistent high rate of return strategy throughout 2006 and beyond." (Please refer to the attached tables for the calculation of return on equity, return on capital employed and the reconciliation of non-GAAP net debt to current and long-term debt.)

Dividend Increase Announced

Following a 33 percent increase in 2005, EOG's Board of Directors again has increased the cash dividend on the common stock. Effective with the dividend payable on April 28, 2006 to record holders as of April 13, 2006, the quarterly dividend on the common stock will be $0.06 per share. This reflects a 50 percent increase to an indicated annual rate of $0.24 per share, the sixth increase in seven years.

Conference Call Scheduled for February 2, 2006

EOG's fourth quarter and full year 2005 conference call will be available via live audio webcast at 8:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time) Thursday, February 2, 2006.

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding EOG's future financial position, business strategy, budgets, reserve information, projected levels of production, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. EOG typically uses words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "strategy," "intend," "plan," "target" and "believe" or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology to identify its forward-looking statements. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning future operating results, the ability to replace or increase reserves or to increase production, or the ability to generate income or cash flows are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although EOG believes its expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements include, among others: the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas and related products, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; the timing and impact of liquefied natural gas imports and changes in demand or prices for ammonia or methanol; the extent and effect of any hedging activities engaged in by EOG; the extent of EOG's success in discovering, developing, marketing and producing reserves and in acquiring oil and gas properties; the accuracy of reserve estimates, which by their nature involve the exercise of professional judgment and may therefore be imprecise; the availability and cost of drilling rigs, experienced drilling crews, materials and equipment used in well completions, and tubular steel; the availability, terms and timing of governmental and other permits and rights of way; the availability of pipeline transportation capacity; the extent to which EOG can economically develop its Barnett Shale acreage outside of Johnson County, Texas; whether EOG is successful in its efforts to more densely develop its acreage in the Barnett Shale and other production areas; political developments around the world; acts of war and terrorism and responses to these acts; weather; and financial market conditions. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements might not occur. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and EOG undertakes no obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. As noted above, statements of proved reserves are only estimates and may be imprecise. Any reserve estimates provided in this press release that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include not only proved reserves, but also other categories of reserves that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit EOG from including in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, available from EOG at P.O. Box 4362, Houston, Texas 77210-4362 (Attn: Investor Relations). You can also obtain this form from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

(Unaudited; in thousands, except per share data)
                               
The following chart adjusts three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31 reported Net Income Available to Common to reflect actual cash realized from oil and gas hedges by eliminating the unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses from these transactions, to add the one-time interest charge related to early retirement of the 2008 Notes and the one-time tax expense related to the repatriation of accumulated foreign earnings in the fourth quarter 2005, to eliminate the upward revenue adjustment for an amended Trinidad gas sales agreement recorded in the second quarter of 2005 and to eliminate a tax benefit related to the Alberta (Canada) corporate tax rate reduction recorded in the second quarter of 2004. EOG believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported company earnings to match realizations to production settlement months and make certain other adjustments to exclude one-time items. EOG management uses this information for comparative purposes within the industry.
