EOG Resources (EOG) was formerly known as Enron Oil & Gas.

In September, 2008, the company was reported to be actively drilling in the Susquehanna Basin of Pennsylvania. It paid a fine to the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) of $450,000 for not complying with limits on water withdrawal for wells in the Basin.

An October, 2008 report found EOG having recorded 111 leases in Bradford County, Pennsylvania during 2008.

A later October report stated that EOG has active locations in both Bradford and Elk Counties in Pennsylvania.

In November, 2008 it was reported that EOG was involved in a joint veture with National Fuel through a subsidiary, Seneca Energy, to develop acreage in Pennsylvania where the latter owns drilling rights. The venture's first Marcellus well produced one million cubic feet of gas per day at first, but then production leveled out to around 400,000 cubic feet per day.

A January, 2009 report indicated that the joint venture has drilled five vertical wells, and it was in the process of drilling its seventh horizontal well. The decline in production from the above mentioned first well was probably due to an ineffective frac. Additional results that were announced include: Well 3 - 400 Mcf/d from a 1,200-ft horizontal leg in Marcellus; and, Well 4 - 1.4 MMcf/d from a 3,500-ft horizontal section. Two other wells were awaiting hydro-fracturing at that time.

A February, 2009 report states that three wells are awaiting hydro-fracturing and another one is being drilled.

In mid-April, 2009 EOG applied to the SRBC to withdraw water from various branches of the Sinnemahoning Creek at several locations in and around Weedville in rural Elk County, PA (just north of Clearfield Co.) The local Jay Township Supervisors wrote a letter to the Commission indicating that the locations selected, including ones near the Redwood Bridge, fire hall, senior center, and ball field, were quite unsatisfactory. Evidently, EOG had selected these locations via satellite imagery without any actual reference to local considerations or concerns.
