EOG Resources

During my tenure in the supply chain department, I requested time off, which management initially seemed to approve. However, I received a call the following day informing me that my employment had been terminated. The reason cited for my dismissal was insufficient speed, despite my having been with the company for only five weeks. Before working for this company, I advise you to read over the contract; it does not seem to be the first time they have done this. 

The workplace environment was characterized by a lack of adaptability and diversity, contributing to a toxic culture. Management often exhibited unprofessional behavior, including making disparaging comments about employees within earshot of others, which created an atmosphere of distrust and insecurity. This behavior undermines employee morale and fosters a sense of fear rather than collaboration.

Moreover, there was no effort made to relocate me to another department or assist in finding a different position within the company, further demonstrating a lack of support for employees. Additionally, the company culture appeared to prioritize personal relationships over merit-based performance, making it clear that advancement was more accessible to those who established close connections with higher-level management rather than through skill or effort.

I would advise caution to anyone considering employment here, as the toxic management practices can significantly impact both personal well-being and professional growth.

My work at EOG involved supervision of a team of accountants and clerks tasked with revenue accounting duties for a large E&P company.  Over the course of my career with EOG, my duties were expanded in accordance with my increased experience.  Management training was provided along the way.  In addition the performance review process provided excellent feedback to allow job growth and improvement.  The pace of work at EOG is very fast.  I relied very heavily on my team to get all their work done and to help make decisions for the group regarding job assignments and deadlines.  I provided the expertise on division of interest maintenance, which documents the ownership of oil and gas wells from an accounting point of view.  This allowed me to interact with the other departments such as Land Administration, Legal, Marketing, and Division Land and Administration. The management team at EOG have been working together for a long time and were very knowledgeable about their departments.  The hardest part of the job was balancing the demands from upper management while providing supervisory support for the accountants who reported to me.  I enjoyed the relationships I formed with all my co-workers and the rewards systems in place at EOG which acknowledged hard work and special effort.

A typical day starts at 03:00 hrs and ends somewhere around 23:00 hrs. We report the following days activities in a detailed morning report that is sent in by 05:30 hrs. Conference calls with engineers, geologist and management are followed after the morning report is reviewed. Daily activities are forecasted, planned and coordinated in hourly increments for each day. The timing of these activities are very costly if the plan is altered or postponed. The work ethic, time management skills, organization and integrity experienced gained working with this company is priceless. EOG is very aggressive with controlling cost and overall performance. EOG management is very supportive and understanding of unexpected events. EOG also has the best of the best staff and well site supervisors in the business, this was a huge resource when unfamiliar problems occurred. Some of the more challenging parts of the job was dealing with competent labor, shortage of qualified service companies, and weather in order to hit performance targets. However, in this challenging field, many self fulfillment rewards were realizes when the projects were completed safely, under budget and on or before targeted days.

A typical day consists of coordination of work flow for our 4 field offices with 6 Field Superintendents, 10 Production Foreman and 12 Administrative Assistants.  Liaison between them and our Field Production Manager for everything from organizing training and meetings, documenting compliance with requirements, addressing issues and working together to cut cost and maintain productivity and safety.  I also coordinate interdepartmentally to establish a division wide schedule to communicate when which wells will go to production. I also oversee logistics in utilizing and the tracking of 66 pieces of company owned production equipment.  Generation of cost analysis reports, equipment/trucking report and regulatory report for the Texas Railroad Commission.

EOG started as a great place to work for but slowly degraded when the oil prices collapsed a few years back. All of a sudden we were no longer compensated for our drive time. Not a BIG deal but when you're driving an hour to and from work it is a significant amount. When it came to management the higher ups were more reasonable,  superintendants, regionale managers all of them willing to help even us lowest on the totem pole. It was the more direct managers and foremen. They would constantly undermine us, lie about company policy, as well as undercut on "performance reviews" all to benefit themselves. But thats what happens in an already broken system. When I left, I was told by my foreman that transfers were unavailable. Only to find out after the fact that I could have transfered if I would have went over his head. This may not be how it is everywhere in EOG, as they are world wide. This is only my account of the oil patch I worked in.

A typical day at work involves a 45 min drive to my first lease which I don't get paid for! My time doesn't start till I reach my lease. I start out by inspecting each well, production unit ,and compressors, and d highs for any problems and fix anything wrong and blow down wells if they need it then writing down the off the meater into my log book. I proceed on to my next lease and do the same. At the end of day before driving off my lease I text my boss that I am out and leave and don't get payed for the drive home. I am on call every other week sometimes more and don't get paid any extra like most companys do for being on call ! My supervisor is very good at his job and tries to help out a lot but I was promised a lot when hired on and have never seen anything I was promised so far! The company has no roustabouts so I well tend and do it all and are way under paid for the amout of work and experience I do and have!!

I was able to advance in my field and learn a lot of technical skills that I wouldn't have had in many other companies.  When I first worked for them the team was full of men with integrity and it helped build my character and I'm proud to say I was a great team member most of the time.  When the management changed it completely turned our department upside down and the integrity left and the butt kissing started.  I continued to work the way I was trained and carried my integrity until I butted heads with management.  I have no regrets whatsoever and would recommend anyone to give EOG Resources a try if it's the right group.  Some groups were very immature and irresponsible but luckily I wasn't a part of that one. 

I enjoyed my freedom to go do my job and not be bothered until meeting day 2 times a week.  Hardest part was watching the first group of bosses leave.

Very productive work place, and very good attentive work crews with great attitudes and skills.  All of the equipment was always in good shape and very well maintained, and price of equipment was very well priced.  All EOG's supervisors out of the Midland and Fort Worth offices had very good communication with all of the employees.  We had very good working conditions on all locations.  All of the safety personnel were very easy to work with.  Safety was a very high priority.  The pay was competitive.  Our pay was 1,250.00 per day and 1.25 per mile and 30.00 a day for the meals, 30.00 a day for telephone, and motels were charged back at our cost per day.  We worked a 14 day on and 14 day off.  We got paid for traveling to and from work at day rate.  I enjoyed working for EOG very much, but the company was cutting back on consultants as they were slowing down at that time.

To summarize, it is a great company to work for. They treat their employee`s well and give competitive pay and great benefits. Co-Workers for the most part are great. They want to work together for the good of the company. I was thrust into a role I was unfamiliar with, and was given the opportunity to learn as much as possible about working with SCADA environments. Hardest part of the job was being fought on technological advancements that were in place by past personnel and dealing with new personnel that may not know or appreciate exactly the contributions I did make. Enjoyable part was the people.

As the workforce was a temp workforce, the job insecurity was very tangible therefore closeness between coworkers was non-existent.    No overtime was allowed at most of the admin and clerical positions so your workweek was stressful because deadlines were still expected to be met. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was the flex time and that Fridays were short days making for a longer weekend.
