Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) is reiterating its third quarter 2008 total company estimated production range of 1,944 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfed) to 2,103 MMcfed, previously issued on Form 8-K on July 29, 2008. This is the result of better than expected production from the Rocky Mountain operating area during the third quarter of 2008, offsetting current production curtailments of approximately 50 MMcfed that resulted from the impact of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore coastal Texas operating areas.

For the full year 2008, EOG is raising its previously announced 2008 total company production growth target from 15.0% to a range of 15.0% to 15.5%.

The forecast items for the third quarter and full year 2008 set forth above are based on current available information and expectations as of the date of this document.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 or 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 the expectations reflected in its 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 EOG's forward-looking statements include, among others:

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by EOG's forward-looking statements may not occur. EOG's 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.
