                 Anadarko Announces Third Quarter 2004 Results

     HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 29, 2004--Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
(NYSE:APC)

     --   EARNINGS AND CASH FLOW STRONG

     --   DIVESTITURES OF NON-CORE ASSETS EXCEED TARGETS

     --   $1.2 BILLION OF DEBT REPURCHASES COMPLETED

     --   9 MILLION COMMON SHARES REPURCHASED

     Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:APC) today announced third quarter
2004 net income available to common shareholders of $399 million, or $1.58 per
share (diluted). Net income includes costs associated with the implementation of
its refocused strategy, primarily the repurchase of debt and the sale of
non-core properties, which amounted to $74 million, or $0.29 per share
(diluted). For the same period in 2003, net income was $274 million, or $1.09
per share (diluted). Year-to-date 2004 net income is $1.2 billion, or $4.72 per
share (diluted).
     Cash flow from operating activities totaled $992 million in the third
quarter 2004, compared to $884 million for the third quarter 2003. Cash flow
from operations before changes in assets and liabilities for the third quarter
2004 totaled $617 million, which includes a reduction of $347 million for
current taxes related to the divestitures. This compares to $868 million for the
third quarter 2003.(1) Year-to-date 2004 cash flow from operating activities
totaled $2.76 billion.
     "Anadarko is rapidly executing the strategy we announced in June, divesting
non-core properties and refocusing the company to deliver sustainable,
profitable growth," said Jim Hackett, Anadarko President and CEO. "Using
proceeds from asset sales, along with substantial cash flow from operations
resulting from strong oil and natural gas prices, we are delivering on our
commitment to repurchase both debt and common stock."
     Consistent with its strategy announced in June, Anadarko has agreements in
place to sell approximately $2.5 billion of assets and has additional agreements
pending on about $800 million of assets. Together, these divestitures represent
year-end 2003 proved reserves of approximately 285 million barrels of oil
equivalent (BOE) and production of about 120,000 BOE per day. Net income was not
directly affected by the sales, as proceeds were recognized as an adjustment of
capitalized costs under full-cost accounting rules.
     In September, the company repurchased $750 million aggregate principal
amount of debt securities, which resulted in $63 million associated with
premiums and other costs recorded to interest expense in the third quarter. The
company's $1.2 billion cash tender offer was completed in early October with the
repurchase of another $455 million of debt securities. The company anticipates
costs associated with this repurchase to be about $40 million, which will be
recorded in the fourth quarter. Total debt at the end of the quarter has been
reduced by about $575 million since the first of the year.
     Since initiating a $2 billion stock repurchase program in June, the company
has repurchased 9 million outstanding common shares at a cost of approximately
$550 million to date.

     VOLUMES AND PRICES

     During the third quarter 2004, sales volumes totaled 49 million BOE, or
534,000 BOE per day, up more than 4 percent from the second quarter due to the
start-up of Anadarko's Marco Polo field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico,
continued drilling success in East Texas and North Louisiana tight gas plays and
the timing of sales in Algeria. However, sales volumes were down relative to the
prior-year third quarter due primarily to high natural decline rates on
properties that are currently being divested. Third quarter 2004 volumes also
were reduced an estimated 200,000 BOE by hurricane-related shut-downs in the
Gulf of Mexico. Third quarter 2003 sales volumes were 50 million BOE, or 541,000
BOE per day.
     The company's average realized oil price in the third quarter 2004 was
$34.42 per barrel, up 31 percent from the 2003 third quarter price of $26.36 per
barrel. Anadarko's average realized natural gas price was $4.93 per thousand
cubic feet (Mcf), up 9 percent from the $4.51 per Mcf received in the same
period in 2003. Realized prices include the effect of hedges, including
approximately $30 million of hedge losses related to properties being sold.
     "Strong prices continue to give us the necessary cash flow to execute our
capital programs, strengthen the balance sheet, and return value directly to
shareholders through our regular dividend program and stock repurchases,"
Hackett said. "Our strategic realignment is proceeding ahead of plan, and our
core assets -- our foundation and growth platforms -- are creating value for the
future. For example, our foundation assets in Anadarko's North Louisiana Vernon
field and our Canadian Wild River play in Alberta continue to set record
production levels. We brought the Marco Polo field in the Gulf of Mexico on-line
this quarter. And we've also positioned ourselves well with a new growth
opportunity through our planned LNG terminal in Nova Scotia where we held a
ceremonial ground breaking yesterday and expect to have the facility on-line in
late 2007."

     GUIDANCE

     The attached guidance for the fourth quarter and full year reflects the
impact of asset sales, with adjustments based on anticipated closing dates. The
adjustments result in lowered sales volume guidance. Absent the divestitures,
estimated volumes would have been toward the higher end of previous guidance.

     Anadarko will host an earnings conference call today at 9:30 a.m. Central

             Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Below is a reconciliation of net income available to common
stockholders (GAAP) to net income available to common stockholders
before the effect of implementation costs of the company's refocused
strategy, oil and gas impairments and restructuring costs, net of
taxes, (non-GAAP) as required under Regulation G of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The company uses net income excluding the effect
of implementation costs of the company's refocused strategy, oil and
gas impairments and restructuring costs to evaluate the company's
results for comparability between periods.

Below is a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities
(GAAP) to cash flow from operations before changes in assets and
liabilities (non-GAAP) as required under Regulation G of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company uses cash flow from
operations before changes in assets and liabilities to demonstrate the
company's ability to internally fund capital expenditures and to
service or incur additional debt. It is useful in comparisons of oil
and gas exploration and production companies because it excludes
fluctuations in assets and liabilities.
