Exploration and Production earnings were $517 million in the fourth
quarter of 2012, compared with $527 million in the fourth quarter of
2011. Fourth quarter oil and gas production was 396,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day, up from 367,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in
the fourth quarter a year ago, primarily reflecting an increase in
production from the Bakken oil shale play and the resumption of
operations in Libya, partly offset by the shut-in of the Valhall Field
in Norway for the quarter due to the redevelopment project. Net
production from the Bakken oil shale play averaged 64,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day in the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 68%
from 38,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the same period last
year. The Corporation′s average worldwide crude oil selling price,
including the effect of hedging, was $84.46 per barrel, down from $89.70
per barrel in the same quarter a year ago. The average worldwide natural
gas selling price was $6.60 per mcf in the fourth quarter of 2012, up
from $6.32 per mcf in the fourth quarter of 2011. Fourth quarter 2012
exploration expenses included total dry hole expenses of $167 million
($102 million after-tax), primarily associated with two exploration
wells, Ness Deep in the Gulf of Mexico and Ajek-1 offshore, Indonesia.


In 2012, the Corporation announced divestitures totaling $2.4 billion as
part of the strategic reshaping of its Exploration and Production asset
portfolio. The sale of the Corporation's interest in the Bittern Field
in the United Kingdom North Sea was completed in the fourth quarter of
2012 and follows the completion of the sales of the Schiehallion Field,
offshore United Kingdom, and the Snohvit Field, offshore Norway, earlier
in the year. The sale of the Corporation's interest in the Beryl Field
in the United Kingdom North Sea was completed in January 2013 and the
divestiture of our assets in Azerbaijan is expected to be completed by
the end of March 2013. In addition, as previously announced, the
Corporation has commenced a sales process for its Russian subsidiary,
Samara-Nafta, and its Eagle Ford assets in Texas.


Oil and gas proved reserves were 1,553 million barrels of oil equivalent
at the end of 2012, compared with 1,573 million barrels at the end of
2011. During 2012, the Corporation added 214 million barrels of oil
equivalent to proved reserves and sold 83 million barrels of oil
equivalent of proved reserves through asset dispositions. The additions,
which are subject to final review, replaced approximately 141 percent of
the Corporation′s 2012 production, resulting in a reserve life of 10.3
years.


Marketing and Refining generated income of $159 million in the fourth
quarter of 2012, compared with a loss of $561 million in the same period
in 2011. Marketing earnings were $152 million, up from $48 million in
the same quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of income from the
partial liquidation of LIFO inventories, and higher margins. Operations
at our Port Reading refining facility in New Jersey generated income of
$8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with a loss of $6
million in the fourth quarter of 2011, principally due to higher
margins. Trading activities generated a loss of $1 million in the fourth
quarter of 2012 and a loss of $11 million in the fourth quarter of last
year.


Earlier this week, the Corporation announced that the Port Reading
refinery will be closed in February. Upon closure of Port Reading, which
follows the shutdown of the HOVENSA L.L.C. refinery in St. Croix, U.S.
Virgin Islands in early 2012, the Corporation will have completely
exited the refining business. The Corporation also announced that it
will commence a process to sell its terminal network. Following these
actions, over 90 percent of Hess′ capital employed will be in its
Exploration and Production business.

items affecting comparability of earnings between periods:

results also included an income tax charge of $86 million for a disputed
application of an international tax treaty. Fourth quarter 2012

from the partial liquidation of LIFO inventories and after-tax charges
