Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements." The ASU incorporates several disclosure and presentation requirements currently residing in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulations S-X and S-K. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K (as the case may be). Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027, will not be effective. As EOG is currently subject to these SEC requirements, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on EOG's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. EOG adopted ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis in the fourth quarter of 2025, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, additional income tax disclosures are required. See Note 6.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. The rules amending Regulation S-X will require public entities to provide certain climate-related information in their annual reports and registration statements. The rules were scheduled to be effective for large accelerated filers commencing with the fiscal period beginning January 1, 2025. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review. The rules have since been stayed in abeyance by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit until such time as the SEC reconsiders the challenged rules by notice-and-comment rulemaking or renews its defense of the rules. EOG will continue to monitor these developments.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" (ASU 2024-03), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). ASU 2024-03 requires PBEs to disaggregate certain expense captions from the face of the income statement. The ASU does not change or remove any existing expense disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Although permitted, EOG does not intend to early adopt. EOG is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial statement disclosures.
