Exploration and Production earnings were $420 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with $494 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 results included higher exploration expenses reflecting dry hole costs of $111 million ($72 million after-tax) associated with two exploration wells (Sabia and Azulão) located on Block BM-S-22 offshore Brazil. Fourth quarter oil and gas production was 420,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up from 415,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the fourth quarter a year ago. The Corporation’s average worldwide crude oil selling price, including the effect of hedging, was $71.73 per barrel, an increase from $63.74 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2009. The average worldwide natural gas selling price was $5.30 per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with $5.19 per Mcf in the same quarter a year ago.

Oil and gas proved reserves were 1,537 million barrels of oil equivalent at the end of 2010, compared to 1,437 million barrels at the end of 2009. During 2010, the Corporation added 274 million barrels of oil equivalent to proved reserves. These additions, which are subject to final review, replaced approximately 176 percent of the Corporation’s 2010 production, resulting in a reserve life of 9.9 years.

Marketing and Refining results were a loss of $261 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with income of $17 million in the same period of 2009. Refining operations incurred a loss of $308 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, including the impairment charge discussed below, and a loss of $40 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Marketing earnings were $37 million compared with $45 million in the same quarter of 2009. Trading activities generated income of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $12 million in the fourth quarter of last year.
