FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE      
 

India: Agreement Signed to Build a Liquefied Petroleum Gas Import
and Storage Terminal

 

Paris, November 6, 2003 — Total announces that it has signed an agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Company Ltd., India’s third largest refiner, concerning the construction of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) import and underground storage terminal in Visakhapatnam, in the eastern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

The two partners each own a 50% interest in South Asia LPG Ltd., the company that will build and run the terminal.

With a storage capacity of 60,000 metric tons, the terminal will be the largest such facility on India’s east coast and the first of its type in a country where demand for LPG is experiencing strong growth. Construction will begin in December 2003, with commercial start-up scheduled for third-quarter 2006.

The agreement strengthens the Group’s strategy of expanding in high-potential Asia markets, particularly in the area of specialty products. Total is already present in India in LPG marketing, lubricants and specialty chemicals.

Total reports third quarter 2003 results
    Net income: 1.71 billion euros (+7%*)
Earnings per share: 2.71 euros (+13%*)
Earnings per share: 3.05 dollars (+30%*)    

  First nine months 2003 results
excluding non-recurring items
    Net income: 5.60 billion euros (+20%)
Earnings per share: 8.77 euros (+26%)
Earnings per share: 9.75 dollars (+51%)
 

Paris, November 7, 2003 — The Board of Directors of Total, chaired by CEO Thierry Desmarest, met on November 6, 2003 to review the third quarter 2003 accounts, which, for the first time, have been the subject of a limited quarterly review by the company’s auditors.

Net income rose to 1,710 million euros (M) in the third quarter 2003, an increase of 7%* compared to the third quarter 2002.

Commenting on the results, Thierry Desmarest said :

“Looking at the third quarter 2003, our self-help efforts, notably our strong production growth, led to the increase in our euro-denominated earnings, given that the market environment was actually less favorable as compared to the third quarter 2002. In effect, the negative impacts of the falling dollar and the poor conditions for the chemicals were only partially offset by the higher oil prices and refining margins.

Strong cash flow after financing investments allowed Total to continue buying back shares under favorable conditions. As a result, third quarter earnings per share increased by 13%, which is above the rate of increase for net income.

Expressed in dollars, earnings per share rose by 30% to $3.05 per share in the third quarter 2003 from $2.35 a year ago.”

 


*   compared to the same period 2002 excluding non-recurring items. There were no non-recurring items in the third quarter 2003.

Third quarter 2003 results

Higher hydrocarbon prices and better refining margins in Europe and the US led to a more favorable oil market environment in the third quarter 2003 as compared to the third quarter 2002. However, these changes could not offset the negative impact of the sharp decline in the dollar relative to the euro and the difficult market conditions for chemicals, particularly in Europe.

Despite the overall less favorable environment, operating income from the business segments excluding non-recurring items rose by 4% to 2,939 M in the third quarter 2003 from 2,824 M in the same quarter last year primarily due to the positive effects of self-help programs, notably the growth in Upstream production.

Net operating income excluding non-recurring items increased by 3% to 1,570 M in the third quarter 2003 from 1,525 M in the third quarter 2002. There were no non-recurring items in the third quarter 2003.

Net income excluding non-recurring items rose by 7% to 1,710 M in the third quarter 2003 from 1,600 M in the third quarter 2002. The larger percentage increase relative to net operating income is primarily due to the lower net cost of net debt.

Reported net income was 1,710 M in the third quarter 2003 compared to 1,637 M in the third quarter 2002, which includes net positive impact from non-recurring items of 37 M.

Third quarter 2003 earnings per share, based on 630.5 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, was 2.71 euros, an increase of 13% compared to the third quarter 2002 earnings per share excluding non-recurring items of 2.40 euros. Earnings per share increased by more than net income as a result of the large share buyback program over the past year.

During the third quarter 2003, Total bought back 7.1 million of its shares for 0.97 billion euros (B). The number of fully-diluted shares at September 30, 2003 was 627.9 million.

The net-debt-to-equity ratio was 25.6% at September 30, 2003 compared to 27.1% at June 30, 2003.

Operating income from the Upstream segment excluding non-recurring items rose by 2% to 2,502 M in the third quarter 2003 from 2,448 M in the third quarter 2002. Strong production growth coupled with higher oil and gas prices offset the negative impact of the depreciation of the dollar relative to the euro.

Net operating income from the Upstream segment excluding non-recurring items rose by 5% to 1,241 M in the third quarter 2003.

Hydrocarbon production grew by 8% to 2,542 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboe/d) in the third quarter 2003 from 2,351 kboe/d in the third quarter 2002. The high growth rate is linked to recent start-ups and production ramp-ups at new fields; in addition, it also reflects the lower level of summer shut-downs in the North Sea during the third quarter 2003 as compared to the same quarter last year.

Liquids production rose by 3% to 1,654 thousand barrels per day (kb/d) in the third quarter 2003 from 1,604 kb/d in the third quarter 2002. The increase stems primarily from production at the South Pars and Balal fields in Iran, the start-up of the Amenam field in Nigeria, the ramp up of production at Sincor in Venezuela, and the contribution of fields in the UK North Sea.

Gas production grew by 18% to 4,831 million cubic feet per day (Mcfd) in the third quarter 2003 from 4,102 Mcfd in the third quarter 2002. The main contributors to the increase are fields in the North Sea, the Peciko field in Indonesia and Canyon Express in the Gulf of Mexico.

Exploration & Production highlights for the third quarter 2003 included two start-ups: the Amenam/Kpono field (Total-operated 30.4%) in Nigeria which is expected to plateau at 125 kb/d and the Al Jurf field (Total-operated 37.5%) in Libya which is expected to plateau at 40 kb/d.

Total took an important step in further developing its strategy in the Middle East by signing an agreement with Saudi Arabia to form a joint venture with the national oil company Saudi Aramco for the exploration of gas in the southern part of the country. In addition, for the Balal field (Total 46.75%) in Iran, Total achieved the production plateau of 40 kb/d and then transferred operatorship of the field to the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) as per the terms of the contract.

In Pakistan, Total signed two production sharing contracts on offshore blocks G and H (Total-operated 40%).

In the Gulf of Mexico, Total was the high bidder on 18 deep-water exploration blocks in the August 20 lease sale.

Gas and power highlights included signing a sales and purchase agreement with Nigeria LNG Ltd. This agreement, which relates to the supply of LNG starting in 2007, is part of Total’s strategy to develop its Atlantic basin LNG marketing activities. Also within the framework of this strategy, Total signed an agreement with Shell to acquire a 25% share in the Mexican Altamira re-gasification terminal project.

Operating income from the Downstream segment excluding non-recurring items rose to 335 M in the third quarter 2003 from 107 M in the third quarter 2002. The rebound in refining margins from the low level of the third quarter 2002 and the small increase in marketing margins more than offset the weakness of the dollar relative to the euro.

Self-help programs and the substantially higher refinery throughput in the third quarter 2003 also contributed to the increase in operating income.

Refinery throughput rose by 7% to 2,503 kb/d in the third quarter 2003 from 2,331 kb/d in the third quarter 2002, which was impacted by a high level of turnarounds. The third quarter 2003 utilization rate improved to 94%.

Net operating income from the Downstream segment excluding non-recurring items increased to 287 M in the third quarter 2003 from 134 M in the third quarter 2002.

Sales for the Chemicals segment fell by 13% to 4,182 M in the third quarter 2003 from 4,825 M in the third quarter 2002.

Operating income from the Chemicals segment excluding non-recurring items fell by 62% to 102 M in the third quarter 2003 from 269 M in the third quarter 2002 due notably to the divestiture of the paints activity. The third quarter 2003 results include the contribution from the Total-Samsung joint venture since August 1, 2003.

The Base chemicals & polymers sector faced a depressed market environment marked by high feedstock prices and weak polymers demand, notably in chlorochemicals.

The Intermediates sector was penalized by weak economic conditions in Europe and rising raw material prices.

Most of the Specialties continued to resist well the difficult economic conditions.

Implementation of self-help programs partially offset the negative impact of the weak environment.

Net operating income from the Chemicals segment excluding non-recurring items fell to 42 M in the third quarter 2003 from 206 M in the third quarter 2002.

The third quarter 2003 highlights included the finalization of the joint-venture agreement with Samsung Chemicals and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with ADNOC for the construction of a melamine plant in Abu Dhabi.

Nine months 2003 results

For the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first months of 2002, Total benefited from a more favorable market environment: a higher oil price and a sharp rebound in refining margins more than offset the depreciation of the dollar relative to the euro and the overall weakness in the Chemicals environment.

In this context, operating income from the business segments excluding non-recurring items rose by 21% to 9,795 M in the first nine months of 2003 from 8,101 M in the same period last year.

Net operating income from the business segments excluding non-recurring items rose by 21% to 5,340 M in the first nine months of 2003 from 4,407 M in the first nine months of 2002.

Net income excluding non-recurring items for the first nine months of 2003 increased by 20% to 5,597 M from 4,651 M in the first nine months of 2002.

Reported net income for the first nine months of 2003 was 5,435 M as compared to 4,569 M for the same period last year. These results include non-recurring items with a net negative impact of 162 M in 2003 and a net negative impact of 82 M in 2002.

For the first nine months of 2003, earnings per share excluding non-recurring items, calculated based on 638.0 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, was 8.77 euros, an increase of 26% compared to the earnings per share excluding non-recurring items of 6.94 euros for the same period last year. Earnings per share increased by more than net income, reflecting the accretive impact of the share buyback program.

Key operational data the first nine months of 2003 include:
    hydrocarbon production rose by 6% to 2,522 kboe/d from 2,379 kboe/d,
    refinery throughput increased 2% to 2,441 kb/d from 2,394 kb/d,
    Chemical sales fell by 12% to 12,925 M from 14,730 M (excluding the impact of the recently divested paints activities, the decrease was only 4%).

For the first nine months of 2003, investments were 4,918 M (72% allocated to the Upstream) or 22% less than the same period last year. The lower level of euro-denominated investments is due primarily to the depreciation of the dollar relative to the euro.

Divestments for the first nine months of 2003, based on selling prices, amounted to 1,300 M and were comprised essentially of the disposal of the paints activity.

Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2003 was 6,587 M as compared to 3,952 M for the same period last year.

Cancellation of outstanding shares

The Board of Directors at the November 6, 2003 meeting decided to cancel 30.1 million shares effective November 21, 2003. As of that date, the share capital will be 6,480,261,540 euros representing 648,026,154 shares at 10 euros nominal value per share.

As a result of the share cancellation, Total will be able to continue its share buyback program over the coming months.

Summary and outlook

The return on average capital employed (ROACE) calculated for the period October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003 was 18%. The return on equity (ROE) calculated for the same twelve month period was 24%.

Since the start of the fourth quarter, the oil market environment has remained favorable with oil prices slightly above the third quarter level and refining margins unchanged. The dollar remains weak relative to the euro and the Chemicals environment continues to be difficult.

Total is continuing to buy back shares and in October 2003 bought back 1.835 million shares for 0.25 B.

TOTAL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR
THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2003

I.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of Total and its subsidiaries (together, the Company or Group) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in France (French “GAAP”) and comply with the principles and methodology relative to consolidated financial statements, Regulation No. 99-02 approved by the decree dated June 22, 1999 of the French Accounting Regulation Committee.

Besides, the Company applies the standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board which are compatible with the French Regulations and which enable, in their current wording, to ensure a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities of the Company and the best comparability with the other oil majors, namely those from North America.

The exceptions to the use of FAS standards are presented in the Annual Report of the Company, and in the Annual Report under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Form 20F) and relate principally to the use of purchase accounting with respect to the business combinations between Total, PetroFina and Elf.

The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 modifying the rules for accounting for asset retirement obligations. FASB No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, at its discounted value, and no longer at its present value. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets and depreciated over the life of the associated asset. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, which is accounted for in the Group’s shareholders’ equity, has no material effect.

With the exception of the first application of FASB No. 143, the accounting policies applied for the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2003 are the same as those used for the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2002.

II.   CHANGES IN THE GROUP STRUCTURE

During the first nine months of 2003, the Company has finalized the sale of its Paints Business, run by Sigma Kalon. The effect of this divestment, accounted for during the first half of 2003, is not material on the Group’s net income.

The Samsung-Atofina Co. Ltd joint-venture, that has been set up on the 1st of August, 2003, entered into the consolidation scope in the third quarter of 2003.

There were no other major changes in the Group structure during the first nine months of 2003.

There were no non-recurring items during the third quarter of 2003.

The non-recurring items that had a positive impact in the first half of 2003 include gains on the sale of Sanofi-Synthélabo shares, while the negative impacts include, in the Chemicals segment, a restructuring charge and a 155 M provision related to investigations of anti-trust practices by the European Commission.

In the first nine months of 2002, the non-recurring items that had a positive impact were composed of gains on sales of financial participations. Those that were negative included primarily the deferred tax impact of the change in UK tax laws for exploration and production activities, restructuring charges in the Downstream and Chemicals segments and an increase in the provision related to the explosion at the Toulouse fertilizer plant.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico: Start-up of Matterhorn

Paris, November 12, 2003 — Total announces the start-up of the Matterhorn field in Mississippi Canyon Block 243 in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

The field, wholly owned and operated by Total E&P USA Inc., is located approximately 160 kilometers southeast of New Orleans in a water depth of 850 meters.

Matterhorn, discovered in 1999, was developed with a floating structure called a Tension Leg Platform, comprising the wellheads and the separation and treatment installations. The platform has throughput capacity of 33,000 barrels of oil per day and 55 million cubic feet per day. Production is transported to shore through flowlines connected to the existing pipeline network.

Following Virgo and Aconcagua, Matterhorn is the third field operated by Total E&P USA Inc. in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Matterhorn field is in line with Total’s strategy of increasing production in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico where the company has been awarded 21 new exploration blocks in 2003.

Total Inaugurates First Wind Power Plant
at the Les Flandres Refinery in Mardyck, France

Paris, November 14, 2003 - Thierry Desmarest, Chairman and CEO of Total, today inaugurated the Group’s first wind power plant.

The Total refinery complex in Mardyck, which is part of the Dunkirk Regional Municipality, is now home to five of the latest-generation wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 12 MW a year, equivalent to the household electricity consumption of 15,000 individuals. The large turbines have blades 40 to 50 meters long and are installed on masts 80 to 95 meters high. The three models selected combine high electrical output, a small footprint and low noise levels. For this pilot project it has been decided to compare three different manufacturers and to experiment these extremely powerful wind powers that prefigure in future major offshore and onshore developments.

The Mardyck wind power plant has been designed to supply electricity for several decades and must therefore blend into the regional fabric. Detailed studies concerning the environment, noise, visual integration, safety and local economic activity were conducted in cooperation with concerned regional stakeholders and authorities. Regular information meetings with the neighbors have been held since the project was launched and letters are sent to them at each project milestone.

The Mardyck wind power plant represents an investment of around 15 million. The output is sold to French electric utility Electricité de France, which distributes the power regionally via the public grid, under terms and conditions determined by the authorities for wind power.

Total, a multi-energy company focusing primarily on oil and natural gas, is also committed to developing renewable energy sources. The Group intends to rapidly capitalize on its experience in wind power by participating in future onshore and offshore projects. In this way, Total will contribute to helping European Union member States achieve their renewable energy targets.

Total Signs Agreement to Explore the Southern
Part of the Rub Al-Khali

Paris, November 15, 2003 — Total announces the official signature of the agreement under which a consortium comprising Saudi Aramco, Shell and Total will explore a gas area covering more than 200,000 square kilometers in the southern part of the Rub Al-Khali (Empty Quarter) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The agreement was signed today in Riyadh by His Excellency Ali I. Al-Naimi, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and the Chairmen of the three companies concerned.

Total, with a 30% interest, is partnered with Saudi Aramco (30%) and Shell (40%), leader of the joint venture that will be formed by year-end. Tenders for seismic surveying are expected to be issued in first-quarter 2004. In the event of a discovery, the gas produced will contribute to the industrial development of the Kingdom.

“Total is honored and delighted to have been chosen by Saudi Arabia to take part in the long-term development of its gas resources. This agreement will enable Total to further strengthen its long-standing cooperation with Saudi Aramco. Total will bring its experience, expertise and technology to the joint venture to ensure the project’s success,” commented Thierry Desmarest, Chairman and CEO of Total.

Commissioning of Pilot Dimethyl Ether Production Plant
in Japan

Paris, November 18, 2003 — Total announces the commissioning in Japan in early December of a pilot plant to produce dimethyl ether (DME) by direct synthesis of natural gas. The recently completed facility, located in Kishuro on Hokkaido Island, has a production capacity of 100 metric tons a day. It will be used to validate this new technology with a view to building a commercial 3,000-metric-ton-per day unit.

Total is working in partnership with nine Japanese companies to develop this clean, environmentally friendly fuel.

DME is a liquefied gas synthesized from natural gas or other gases. It has similar physical properties to liquefied petroleum gas. It does not generate sulfur oxides or particulates when burned, is transported as a liquid, and can be used as a transportation fuel and for power generation.

The plant’s commissioning is in line with Total’s commitment to conducting research and development into new divisions that would leverage its gas resources.

Nigeria: Total Signs a new Production Sharing Contract for
Deep Offshore Concession in Nigeria

Paris, November 20, 2003 — Total announces that company’s Nigerian operating subsidiary, Elf Petroleum Nigeria Ltd (EPNL), has signed a Production Sharing Contract with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 221 located in southeast Nigeria.

The deep offshore concession lies in water depths of between 200 and 1,000 meters. OPL 221 is in a high potential area just west of the OPL 222 where EPNL, as operator, has made significant commercial discoveries in the Ukot (1998) and Usan (2002) fields. Both fields are currently being considered for development.

While NNPC is the concession holder, EPNL is operator of the permit with a 100% stake. Exploration activities are planned to start immediately with the implementation of a seismic survey programme.

Nigeria is the Africa’s largest oil producer and will continue to be so as deepwater discoveries come on stream. The signing of this contract is an additional step that confirms Total’s determined growth strategy in Nigeria, and demonstrates its commitment to and confidence in the country’s oil and gas industry’s development potential.

France: Total and Gaz de France Separate Their
Cross-Shareholdings in GSO and CFM and Total to Acquire an
Interest In the Fos Cavaou LNG Terminal

Paris, November 24, 2003 — Total and Gaz de France have signed a ‘protocol of intent’ to separate their cross-shareholdings in Gaz du Sud-Ouest (GSO) and Compagnie Française du Méthane (CFM), their jointly-owned gas transmission and supply subsidiaries in France.

With this protocol, Total would thus become the sole shareholder in GSO while Gaz de France would thus become the sole shareholder of CFM. Furthermore, Total would directly acquire a part of CFM’s trading operations. The Group is pursuing its strategy of becoming a top-tier supplier of gas to industrial and commercial customers in France, a market in which it will thus have a market share of around 11% once restructuring has been completed.

Gaz de France currently holds a 30% interest in GSO and Total 45% in CFM.

This protocol reflects Total and Gaz de France’s shared commitment to adapting to the structural changes in the French gas market. From July 1, 2004, the industrial and non-residential markets will be open to competition. As of this date currently integrated gas utilities will unbundle their transmission and trading operations. From July 1, 2007 the market will be fully open for residential customers and liberalization will be achieved.

In addition, the same protocol will permit Total to acquire a one-third interest in the Fos Cavaou regasification terminal project in southern France. The liquefied natural gas receiving terminal is scheduled for commissioning in 2007. It will have an initial capacity of 8.25 billion cubic meters, which could subsequently be expanded.

“We have significant natural gas reserves, notably in the Middle East and West Africa, that are geographically well positioned to supply the French market,” says Yves-Louis Darricarrère, President Gas and Power at Total. “This market is a priority target. Total’s interest in the Fos Cavaou terminal, which will be a new supply point for this market, is a key step in achieving our goals.”

Implementation of the protocol remains subject to scrutiny by the competent authorities and other bodies.

Kazakhstan: Hydrocarbon discoveries on Aktote
and Kashagan SouthWest

Paris, November 25, 2003 — Total announces the discovery of hydrocarbons with the successful completion of the offshore exploration wells on Aktote and Kashagan SouthWest prospects. The wells are located in the Kazakhstan sector of the Caspian Sea and are adjacent to the giant Kashagan field that was declared a commercial discovery in June 2002.

The Aktote-1 well was drilled from an artificial island to a total depth of 4,267 metres. The well was tested under restricted flow conditions at a rate of 1,550 barrels per day.

The Kashagan SouthWest-1 well was drilled to a total depth of 5,875 metres. The well was tested at a rate of 2,200 barrels per day.

An evaluation is currently underway to determine the potential of these discoveries.

The Aktote and Kashagan SouthWest discoveries are located on the blocks attributed to the consortium holding a production sharing contract in the northern area of the Caspian Sea (Total 20.37%*).

* Upon completion of the sale of BG International’s interest.

Total is a partner in the association operated by Agip KCO that groups six international companies: Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, Total, ConocoPhillips and Inpex, after BG’s exit.

Production Start-up of Jasmim, Offshore Angola

Paris, December 2, 2003 — Sonangol, Sociedade Nacional de Combustíveis de Angola, and Total announce the start-up of Jasmim oil field production in Angola’s deepwater offshore Block 17.

Discovered in April 2000, Jasmim is one of fifteen fields found in Block 17 and the second to be brought on stream following Girassol, which started up in December of 2001. Located in 1,400 meters of water and approximately 150 kilometres offshore, Jasmim’s development requires eight sub-sea wells to be tied back five kilometres to the Girassol floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).

Jasmim’s start-up will increase oil flow to the FPSO to more than 230,000 barrels of oil a day and prolong the production plateau. It is an integral part of the growth strategy for Block 17 production, which was already evidenced this year by the decision for the development of the Dalia field, slated to come on stream in the second half of 2006.

Sonangol is the Block 17 Concessionaire. Total, the Operator, has a 40% participatory interest in Block 17, and has as partners Esso Exploration Angola (Block 17) Ltd. (20 %), BP Exploration (Angola) Ltd. (16.67%), Statoil Angola Block 17 AS (13.33%) and Norsk Hydro (10%).
