The compliance with environmental laws and regulations has resulted in a significant increase in Eog's overall cost of business, but it has not had a significant impact on its operations' financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, there are no current laws or regulations that require Eog to spend any money on environmental control facilities or other resources in the near future. However, Eog cannot predict the timing, scope, or effects of any proposed or future laws or regulations on the environment, and the ultimate cost of such laws and regulations may affect Eog's operations.
