Frequently Used Terms. References to resources, resource base, recoverable resources, and similar terms include quantities of oil and gas that are not yet classified as proved reserves but that we believe will likely be moved into the proved reserves category and produced in the future. The discussion of reserves in this presentation generally excludes the effects of year-end price/cost revisions and includes reserves attributable to equity companies and our Syncrude operations. For definitions of, and information regarding, reserves, return on average capital employed, normalized earnings, cash flow from operations and asset sales, and other terms used in this presentation, including information required by SEC Regulation G, see the "Frequently Used Terms" posted on the Investor Information section of our website.
