Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit and Guarantees. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, EOG had standby letters of credit and guarantees outstanding totaling $902 million and $294 million, primarily representing guarantees of payment or performance obligations on behalf of subsidiaries. As of February 19, 2020, EOG had received no demands for payment under these guarantees. Minimum Commitments. At December 31, 2019, total minimum commitments from purchase and service obligations and transportation and storage service commitments not qualifying as leases, based on current transportation and storage rates and the foreign currency exchange rates used to convert Canadian dollars into United States dollars at December 31, 2019, were as follows (in millions):
| Total Minimum Commitments
2020 | $ | 1,312 |
2021 | 1,103 |
2022 | 1,027 |
2023 | 764 |
2024 | 519 |
2025 and beyond | 2,531 |
| $ | 7,256 |
Contingencies. There are currently various suits and claims pending against EOG that have arisen in the ordinary course of EOG's business, including contract disputes, personal injury and property damage claims and title disputes. While the ultimate outcome and impact on EOG cannot be predicted, management believes that the resolution of these suits and claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on EOG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. EOG records reserves for contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
