Just yesterday, one of those Fools, TMFSMurph, succinctly summed up the EOG bull case for our community:

Best in peer group on credit rating, cost of debt, and overhead costs. Prescient in responsiveness to environmental concerns raised by shareholders, which will have long-term financial implications. Poised to come out ahead.
