Summary
This EOG Resources Inc. 8-K filing from April 20, 2009, provides investors with estimated wellhead price realizations for natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids for the first quarter of 2009. These figures exclude the impact of EOG's hedging activities, offering a view of the company's unhedged commodity price exposure during the period. The filing also reiterates EOG's standard forward-looking statement disclosures, outlining various risks and uncertainties that could materially affect future results.
