Delivery Commitments. EOG sells crude oil, natural gas and purity products from its producing operations under a variety of contractual arrangements. At December 31, 2025, EOG was committed to deliver to multiple parties aggregate fixed quantities of crude oil of 24 million barrels (MMBbls) in 2026, 11 MMBbls in 2027 and 4 MMBbls in 2028. At December 31, 2025, EOG was committed to deliver to multiple parties aggregate fixed quantities of natural gas of 573 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in 2026, 370 Bcf in 2027, 338 Bcf in 2028, 336 Bcf in 2029, 331 Bcf in 2030 and 3,020 Bcf thereafter. Additionally at December 31, 2025, EOG was committed to deliver to multiple parties aggregate fixed quantities of purity products of 24 MMBbls in 2026. All delivery commitments are expected to be sourced from future production of available reserves.

Contingencies.  There are currently various suits and claims pending against EOG that have arisen in the ordinary course of EOG's business, including contract disputes, personal injury and property damage claims and title disputes.  While the ultimate outcome and impact on EOG cannot be predicted, management believes that the resolution of these suits and claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on EOG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.  EOG records reserves for contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
