Exploration and Production earnings were $979 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $551 million in the first quarter of 2010. The Corporation’s first quarter oil and gas production was 399,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, down from 423,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter a year ago, primarily reflecting the
suspension of production in Libya in early March due to civil unrest and the sale of certain natural gas producing assets in the United Kingdom North Sea. The Corporation’s average worldwide crude oil selling price, including the effect of hedging, was $87.22 per barrel, an increase from $63.62 per barrel in the first quarter of 2010. The average worldwide natural gas selling price was $5.84 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $5.92 per Mcf in the same quarter a year ago. First quarter 2011 results included higher exploration expenses reflecting dry hole costs of $121 million ($77 million after-tax) associated with an exploration well located on Block 1 offshore Egypt in the North Red Sea.
Marketing and Refining earnings were $39 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $87 million in the same period in 2010. Refining operations incurred a loss of $48 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with a loss of $56 million in the first quarter a year ago. Marketing earnings were $68 million compared with $121 million in the first quarter of 2010. Trading activities generated income of $19 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with $22 million in the first quarter of last year.
