Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On February 27, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") was
dismissed as independent accountant for EOG Resources, Inc. (the
"Company") effective upon completion of its audit of the
Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2001, and Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") was appointed as the
new independent accountant for the Company to replace Andersen
for the year ending December 31, 2002. The decision to dismiss
Andersen and to appoint Deloitte was recommended by the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors at its meeting on February
27, 2002, and was approved by the Board of Directors at its
meeting on February 27, 2002.
Andersen's reports on the Company's financial statements for
the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31,
2001, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the
period from January 1, 2002 through February 27, 2002, there were
no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Andersen, would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
connection with its report.
As required under Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations, the Company provided Andersen with a copy of this
Item and requested Andersen to furnish the Company with a letter
addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the
statements by the Company in this Item and, if not, stating the
respects in which it does not agree. Andersen's letter is filed
as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
Item 7. Exhibits.
16.1 Letter dated March 1, 2002, from Arthur Andersen LLP
to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
