EOG Resources led the push into the oil window of the Eagle Ford Shale oil play. The company began
leasing in the oil window before many thought producing liquids from the formation would yield

economic wells. The company has since amassed a position of almost 650,000 acres that stretches from
Gonzales County down to La Salle and Webb counties. Drilling is concentrated in the oil window of the
play where the company drills extended reach horizontal wells to recover commercial quantities of oil.
The company estimates the play will contribute 1.6 Billion boe of potential reserves to the company over
the lifetime of the asset.
EOG Resources, Inc. is a large independent (non-integrated) oil and natural gas company that operates
in the Eagle Ford Shale. The company has proved reserves in the United States, Canada, offshore
Trinidad and the United Kingdoms North Sea. EOG stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker EOG.
EOGs strategy concentrates on growth through exploration with the drillbit. EOG is one of the most
active drillers in both the United States and Canada, while building a reputation of delivering organic
growth. Some of their largest production increases have come from EOGs Central Texas, East Texas,
North Louisiana, South Texas and Rocky Mountain operating areas. Activity in the Eagle Ford Shale
of South Texas has contributed significantly to the companys reserves and the company will be
developing the Eagle Ford for many years to come.

Texas. The East Texas basin is one of North Americas most prolific oil and gas production areas,
where BP operates over 900 wells from conventional and tight gas reservoirs. In 2009 BP furthered its
entry investment in the US shale plays through a joint venture with Lewis Energy in the Eagle Ford
shale located in South Texas.
