Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
Stockholder's Equity | Stockholders' Equity Common Stock. In September 2001, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) authorized the repurchase of an aggregate maximum of 10 million shares of common stock that superseded all previous authorizations (September 2001 Authorization). EOG last repurchased shares under the September 2001 Authorization in March 2003. Effective November 4, 2021, the Board (i) established a new share repurchase authorization to allow for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of common stock (November 2021 Authorization) and (ii) revoked and terminated the September 2001 Authorization. Under the November 2021 Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, other market and economic conditions, the availability of cash to effect repurchases and EOG's anticipated future capital expenditures and other commitments requiring cash. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The November 2021 Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Board at any time. During year ended December 31, 2023, EOG repurchased 8.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $971 million (inclusive of transaction fees and commissions) pursuant to the November 2021 Authorization. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $4 billion remained available for repurchases under the November 2021 Authorization. Included in the Treasury Stock Repurchased amounts on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the year ended December 31, 2023, is $8 million of estimated federal excise tax. Shares of common stock are from time to time withheld by, or returned to, EOG in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations arising upon the exercise of employee stock options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), the vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock unit or performance unit grants or in payment of the exercise price of employee stock options. Such shares withheld or returned prior to November 4, 2021 did not count against the September 2001 Authorization, and such shares withheld or returned on or subsequent to November 4, 2021 have not counted, and will not count, against the November 2021 Authorization. Shares purchased, withheld and returned are held in treasury for, among other purposes, fulfilling any obligations arising under EOG's stock-based compensation plans and any other approved transactions or activities for which such shares of common stock may be required. On February 22, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the common stock of $0.91 per share to be paid on April 30, 2024, to stockholders of record as of April 16, 2024. The following summarizes Common Stock activity for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
