Dear Fellow Shareholders

The year of 2010 was one of contrasts: economic recovery, yet lingering high unemployment in the U.S.; and a rebound in global oil demand and prices, offset by North American natural gas oversupply and resulting price declines. Increased industry activity was overtaken by the tragic events of the BP Macondo incident in April. Since then, business in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has been at a standstill absent a clear regulatory way to proceed. We reacted quickly and moved our contracted deepwater rig to Africa soon after the incident. With the preponderance of our upstream investments outside the U.S., we have fared well and continue to drive our growth profile forward. Whether it is economic uncertainty or political ambiguity, our Company is resilient, fiscally disciplined and well positioned to survive and prosper in these times. Our diversified global portfolio, weighted to oil production, provided solid returns in light of the strong oil price environment. Production for 2010 was 14% over the prior year and reserve replacement was a healthy 124%. Net income for 2010 totaled $798.1 million ($4.13 per share), down slightly from 2009 as a nonrecurring gain on disposal of Ecuador operations in the prior year more than offset improvements in both our upstream and downstream business segments. We continued our tradition of financial discipline and ended the year with a debt-to-capital-employed ratio of 10.3%. Our strong balance sheet provides the flexibility necessary to act on value-added opportunities or manage a significant development project.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION Annual production for 2010 averaged 186,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day with a 68% oil weighting. New contributions for the year came from initial phase development of our North American resource plays at Tupper (100%) in British Columbia and from the Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) area (95%) of South Texas, plus ramp-up of the Azurite field (50%), offshore Republic of the Congo, and Malaysia projects in Sarawak (85%) and at Kikeh (80%).

The growth profile will continue in 2011. In December, our Board sanctioned the first phase of oil development in the EFS, and start-up of the Tupper West gas plant, with a capacity of 180 mmcfd, occurs this month. Resumption of activity in the GOM remains a question mark and has an impact on our production profile in that area.

Sanction of a number of development projects is expected throughout the year. In Malaysia, this includes oil developments at Patricia, South Acis and Serendah in the Sarawak blocks (85%) along with Siakap North (40%) in Block K. A floating LNG development at Rotan (80%) in Block H is also under consideration. In the U.S., we will see sanction of the second oil development area in the EFS. At the Seal heavy oil project (100%) in northern Alberta, we continue an active primary development drilling program and are encouraged with production rates from recent wells. An Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) pilot kicked off in late 2010 at Seal. We are evaluating the effectiveness of both polymer flooding and steam stimulation to unlock the massive heavy oil resource in place on our acreage. Results of the pilot work are expected in 2011 and we will be submitting applications for field development plans.

A fourth play was added to our North American resource portfolio with new acreage in southern Alberta targeting the oil prospective Exshaw/ Bakken formation. This will be actively appraised in 2011. Three of our four resource plays are oil focused, which is in line with our targeted portfolio balance and provides flexibility to our program as we are able to shift our focus between oil and gas as value points open.

We saw a meaningful resumption of our exploration program in 2010, with a focus on testing a dozen or more exploratory prospects per year. We ended up the year drilling 13 wildcat wells in six countries and started with some early successes with an oil discovery in DeSoto Canyon Block 4 (64.17%) in the GOM and two gas discoveries in Malaysia at Patricia and Dolfin. Our non-operated Deep Blue prospect (9.38%) in the GOM was suspended due to the moratorium. In Republic of the Congo, we failed to find the volumes sought in three wells and are now looking at tie-back options for those reserves found. Our first well, Caracara (100%), in the untested play offshore Suriname, failed to find pay and we plan to drill a second prospect to test further targets. We are currently drilling the Lengkuas well (28.33%) on the Semai II block in Indonesia.

The current year will include an active drilling program with exploration wells planned for Indonesia, Suriname, Congo, Brunei, and depending on rig availability, Kurdistan and Australia.

REFINING AND MARKETING In July of last year, our Board approved a plan to offer for sale the U.S. refining and U.K. downstream businesses. We simply lack the competitive size and scale to grow this capital intensive business and can redeploy those funds where we have strong growth opportunities. The divestiture process is ongoing and remains on track to exit those businesses this year.

Strong U.S. retail margins in the middle part of 2010 helped deliver the second best annual income for that business. During the year, 51 new stations were built bringing the total number of retail outlets to 1,099 at year-end. Expansion of this network will continue with 55 stations budgeted for construction in 2011. This top quartile business will continue on course this year while exploring ways to significantly grow and lead the competition.

 

In the biofuels business, we fully integrated the Hankinson ethanol plant into our operation and averaged more than 115 million gallons per year of ethanol production—5% over nameplate capacity— in its first full year of operation. The plant contributed solid financial returns to the downstream business. In September, we concluded the acquisition of the partially completed Hereford ethanol facility and plan to complete construction, and initiate start-up by the end of the first quarter 2011. We welcome a new community of dedicated and enthusiastic employees to the fold.

 

IN CLOSING The vision for our Company remains clear. Exit of the U.S. refining and U.K. downstream businesses will realign the Company as an oil-weighted growth E&P entity with a best in class U.S. retail network. As the economic recovery matures and global energy demand rebounds, we are well positioned to grow and prosper. The combination of an active exploration program, which finds more hydrocarbons than produced each year and exposes the company to step-change growth, is matched with a meaningful North American oil-weighted resource program.

Ours is a “can do” Company that identifies, captures and operates the majority of our assets. We have a strong and very capable team working to make us better every day.

I would like to recognize one of our employees who is retiring after 41 years of service. Steve Cossé has been our General Counsel since 1991 and he provided an invaluable contribution to our success; we all wish him well in his retirement.

I appreciate the support you have shown us over the past year and with your continued backing, we look toward the promise of 2011 and moving our Company forward to new heights.
