Dear Fellow Shareholders

 

Two thousand eleven saw continuation of an overall sluggish global economy with Euro zone sovereign debt issues, a Standard & Poor’s downgrade of U.S. government debt and a tragic natural disaster in Japan all adding further drag to any sign of economic recovery. However, oil markets saw some strength on the back of Asian demand and shut-in of Libyan production. The global benchmark crude, Dated Brent, ranged between $95 and $115 per barrel for much of the year and showed strength above U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude that was partially landlocked and in oversupply. This differential, that at times was close to $30 per barrel, closed near year-end 2011 to a more normal $10 as pipeline constraints were being worked. We sold our two U.S. refineries just as this price advantage waned.    LOGO

 

While our international natural gas production benefited from strong liquified natural gas market pricing, gas prices in North America continued to fall throughout 2011 and recently dropped below $3 per million British Thermal Units as warm winter temperatures further challenged the current oversupply picture. Absent increased demand or new export opportunities, I expect North American natural gas prices to be under continued pressure for the midterm. We are fortunate to have the opportunity and flexibility to react quickly and redirect spending away from dry gas investments in North America.

  

Our diverse, oil-weighted global portfolio, complemented by our North American resource position, provides the basis for strength and growth across our upstream business. We are almost two years removed from the unfortunate and tragic events of the Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and, while the pace of play has improved, new permits require higher levels of manpower and much more time to complete. That coupled with fewer rigs makes for a much slower, and for us a smaller, business. Over that same time frame, our onshore business has picked up the slack and is on a rapidly growing trajectory.

Last year we established the framework and began executing on our strategy to reposition the company. As mentioned, we closed on the sale of the two U.S. refineries at the end of the third quarter and are now focused on the disposition of the U.K. refinery at Milford Haven, Wales. We are also evaluating the potential to separate our retail business and to unlock its value, which we believe is unrealized within the current corporate structure.

Net income for 2011 totaled $873 million ($4.49 per share), up slightly from 2010 as contributions from Refining and Marketing, including discontinued operations, offset lower Upstream results. The lower net income in our exploration and production segment was primarily due to an impairment charge taken at our Azurite field, offshore Republic of the Congo. Our balance sheet remains strong as we ended the year with a long-term debt-to-capital-employed ratio of 2.8%, providing ample capacity to act on value-added opportunities.

Exploration and Production

Annual production for 2011 averaged 179,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day with a weighting of 58% to oil and 16% to oil-indexed natural gas. We were more negatively impacted by lower production from the Kikeh field in Malaysia due to a sand/fines migration issue in some wells, lower Azurite production in Republic of the Congo and less than budgeted wells drilled in the GOM due to lack of permits than we were by positive results in the Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) area in south Texas and Tupper West in British Columbia.

In 2012, we should see good year-on-year production growth with accelerated development at EFS and the Seal heavy oil project in northern Alberta, complemented by stabilized production from Kikeh following the successfully completed remediation program at the end of last year.

Activity in our North American resource program ramped up further in 2011. This oil-weighted resource program now extends over 800,000 net acres with entry into a fifth play. We reorganized our North American resource business as a single unit to bring expertise and complementary disciplines from our successful Montney development program in Canada to the fast growing business in the EFS. Heavy oil production growth at the Seal project is moving forward at an accelerated pace. We are focused at Seal on additional development drilling, down spacing opportunities, multi-leg laterals and advancing our Enhanced Oil Recovery projects related to polymer flooding and thermal stimulation as we look to unlock the large resource in place there. In the southern Alberta Bakken play, we are in the very early stages of evaluating the productive capability of our acreage having drilled six appraisal wells in the play, with the most recent showing encouragement.

In addition to our North American onshore activity, in 2011 we sanctioned seven development projects that will be important growth components starting in 2013. These oil developments include Patricia, Serendah, South Acis, Permas and Endau in the Sarawak blocks and Siakap North in Block K, all in Malaysia, and the Schiehallion field re-development project in the U.K. North Sea.

Activity levels and results from our global exploration program were disappointing in 2011. We only drilled four wildcat wells testing targets in Suriname, Indonesia and Brunei. The process of lining up rigs and finalizing well schedules pushed some activity into this year, so I expect the 2012 program will return to a more normal pace of testing 12 to 15 prospects. The year is off to a good start with a gas discovery in Block H, offshore Sabah Malaysia, in close proximity to the Rotan gas discovery, which is being evaluated for Floating LNG development. Impactful prospects will be drilled in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, Republic of the Congo and Australia during the year.

Refining and Marketing

Consistent with our strategy to exit the refining business, we are now progressing on the divestiture of the Milford Haven refinery in Wales.

The Downstream business had a very solid year turning in net income of $190 million, excluding discontinued operations, with the U.S. Retail business contributing the second highest net income in its history. Build out of our chain continued with the addition of 29 stations, bringing the total number of retail outlets to 1,128 at year-end. Our U.S. retail chain broadened its partnership with Wal-Mart and participated in the “10 cents per gallon Rollback” program on gasoline prices from June through December. Longer term we are excited about the opportunity to expand both within and outside our current footprint with Wal-Mart.

In Renewable Energy, we completed the construction and upgrades to the Hereford, Texas ethanol plant, which started up at the end of March, on schedule and within budget. Start-up and commissioning went well and the plant has ramped up to its nameplate capacity of 105 million gallons per year. Operations at our Hankinson, North Dakota ethanol plant continue to be steady in the 120 million gallon per year range. These two plants have now been fully integrated into our U.S. marketing business.

In Closing

The repositioning of our Company remains on track with the sale of the two U.S. refineries and attention shifting to divestiture of the U.K. refinery. Recognizing the value of our retail business is also in focus. The Upstream growth plan is in place with the sanction of key projects in Malaysia and accelerated development of our oil-weighted North American resource portfolio. We will maintain an active and impactful exploration program this year and continue to renew and replenish our prospect inventory. Our plans are set and the team is in place to deliver on these growth initiatives.

Your support over the past year has been greatly appreciated and together we can look forward to a Company better positioned for a bright future.
