Note: See the following page for a table of items affecting
comparability of earnings between periods.


Exploration and Production earnings were $527 million in the fourth
quarter of 2011 compared with $420 million in the fourth quarter of
2010. The Corporation′s average worldwide crude oil selling price,
including the effect of hedging, was $89.70 per barrel, up from $71.73
per barrel in the same quarter a year ago. The average worldwide natural
gas selling price was $6.32 per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2011, up
from $5.30 per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter oil and
gas production was 367,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, compared
with 420,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the fourth quarter a
year ago, largely due to production interruptions and asset sales.
Fourth quarter 2011 results included higher exploration expenses
reflecting total dry hole costs of $236 million ($143 million
after-tax), primarily associated with two exploration wells on the Semai
V Block, offshore Indonesia.


Oil and gas proved reserves were 1,573 million barrels of oil equivalent
at the end of 2011, compared with 1,537 million barrels at the end of
2010. During 2011, the Corporation added 203 million barrels of oil
equivalent to proved reserves. These additions, which are subject to
final review, replaced approximately 147 percent of the Corporation′s
2011 production, resulting in a reserve life of 11.4 years.


Marketing and Refining generated a loss of $561 million in the fourth
quarter of 2011 compared with a loss of $261 million in the same period
in 2010. Refining operations incurred a loss of $598 million in the
fourth quarter of 2011, including the HOVENSA L.L.C. shutdown charge
discussed below, and a loss of $308 million in the fourth quarter a year
ago. Marketing earnings were $48 million compared with $37 million in
the same quarter of 2010. Trading activities generated a loss of $11
million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and income of $10 million in the
fourth quarter of last year.
