Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions and Divestitures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, EOG purchased proved properties adjacent to its core acreage in the Eagle Ford play for $269 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, EOG paid cash of $139 million, primarily to acquire a gathering system in South Texas. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, EOG recognized net gains on asset dispositions of $39 million and received proceeds of $19 million, primarily due to lease exchanges and dispositions in the Delaware Basin and the Eagle Ford, as well as the sale of certain other assets.

Encino Acquisition. On August 1, 2025, EOG acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in Encino, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the Utica play, for cash consideration of $4,484 million and the assumption of Encino's senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,200 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The cash consideration included $392 million to repay Encino's revolving credit facility. In connection with the completion of the acquisition, EOG repaid and redeemed the senior notes in full, utilizing aggregate cash of approximately $1,292 million (inclusive of applicable redemption premiums and accrued and unpaid interest). In connection with the acquisition, EOG issued the New Notes. See Note 8.

The assets of Encino principally include producing wells and developed and undeveloped acreage in the Utica play.

In connection with this transaction, EOG incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $57 million, of which $51 million were recorded as General and Administrative Expense and $6.5 million were recorded as Interest Expense.

EOG accounted for this transaction as a business combination under FASB Topic ASC 805 using the acquisition method with EOG as the acquirer. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. EOG did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is preliminary including the valuations of oil and gas properties and the calculation of deferred taxes based upon the underlying tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. EOG believes the estimates used are reasonable, but are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Fair value measurements were applied to the acquired assets and liabilities. These measurements may be adjusted up to one year from the acquisition date if new information becomes available regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of such date.

The fair value measurements of Oil and Gas Properties and Asset Retirement Obligations are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820. The fair values of Proved Oil and Gas Properties and the majority of Unproved Oil and Gas Properties were measured using the Income Approach. Significant inputs to the valuation of Proved and Unproved Oil and Gas Properties included EOG's estimate of future crude oil, NGLs and natural gas prices, anticipated production from reserves, a weighted average cost of capital rate, and risk adjustment factors for proved undeveloped, probable and possible reserves. The valuation of a portion of the Unproved Oil and Gas Properties were valued using the Market Approach using prices per acre of comparable transactions as inputs. These inputs required significant judgments, assumptions and estimates by management at the time of the valuation, are the most sensitive and may be subject to change. The senior notes assumed were measured using observable market prices. The fair values of working capital items were determined to be equivalent to the carrying value as they are short-term in nature.
