Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
EOG Resources, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EOG Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited management’s assessment,
included in the accompanying Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management
is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule, an opinion on management’s assessment,
and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board
of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper
management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are
subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of EOG Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Furthermore, in our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based
on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission.
As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), “Share Based Payment.”
