earnings included an income tax benefit of $30 million relating to
foreign exploration activities.
Refining and marketing earnings were $85 million in the third
quarter of 2004 compared with $89 million in the third quarter of
2003. The decrease is primarily due to lower earnings from energy
marketing activities and retail gasoline station operations.

million of which $338 million related to exploration and production
activities. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2003 amounted
to $307 million, including $298 million for exploration and
