Dear Fellow Shareholders

As a result of a great deal of smart, hard work and dedication by our employees in 2012, our Company achieved important year-on-year growth in production and proved reserves, in retail station count and sales volume, and in earnings and dividends. Going forward in 2013, we expect to see continued growth – and as the planned spin-off of our U.S. Retail business becomes a reality later this year, we will see it more clearly as two separate, publicly traded companies each pursue their individual growth strategies.   In our exploration and production business, production for 2012 averaged over 194,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) with a weighting of 58% to oil and 15% to oil-indexed natural gas. This represents production growth of 8% over 2011 and a leading compound annual growth rate of nearly 14% over the last five years. Increases in production came from steady predictable growth in the Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) in south Texas, stabilized production from our Kikeh field and Sarawak gas development, both offshore Malaysia, and increased working interests in the Gulf of Mexico. Early in the year we made the decision to reduce spending and ultimately production by approximately 5,000 boepd of North American dry gas from our Montney developments in northeast British Columbia. While this resulted in lower production, it was the prudent decision in view of low natural gas prices.

In 2013 we will see another year of production growth with steady development at EFS and the offshore oil projects in Block K and Sarawak in Malaysia coming onstream late in the year.

Activity in our North America onshore business focused on oil development in the EFS and moving forward with plans for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) at Seal in Canada. In the EFS, we ramped up to ten rigs early in the year and held steady at that level, drilling 151 wells for the year bringing our total well count to 213 at year-end 2012. Production from the EFS averaged over 15,000 boepd for the year, up from 3,750 boepd in 2011. We plan to maintain this steady rate of development for the foreseeable future as we target production growth to over 50,000 boepd. Our plans to grow heavy oil production at Seal are centered on EOR development related to polymer flooding and thermal stimulation. We added to our land position and resource base at Seal through an acquisition that fits well with our growth plans.

In our global offshore business, we are on track to bring new Malaysian oil developments onstream late in 2013 at Patricia, Serendah, South Acis and Permas in the Sarawak blocks and Siakap North in Sabah. In addition, the early production system for the Kakap-Gumusut project brought two wells onstream through the Kikeh facility in the fourth quarter of 2012, a year ahead of the main field. In a continuing effort to review and rationalize our portfolio, we signed Purchase and Sale agreements to sell our U.K. upstream fields at Schiehallion, Mungo-Monan and Amethyst.

Our global exploration focus is in four geographic regions on specific play types with a goal to deliver a consistent 10 well program. The 2012 program yielded solid results with seven discoveries from a total of ten wells drilled. We continued our string of success in Block H Malaysia with four discoveries bringing us to seven straight in the field where a third party floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) project is scheduled to be sanctioned in 2013. We participated at a 5% working interest in two smaller discoveries in Block CA-1 offshore Brunei and our final discovery came at our Dalmatian South prospect in the Gulf of Mexico. While not in the “grand slam” category, our steady pace of “singles” and “doubles” has contributed to over 150% production replacement over the

2

last five years as well as a near doubling of production and the addition of 200 million barrels of oil equivalent of proved reserves. We look forward to this year’s 10-plus well program where we have sizeable wells to drill in Australia, Cameroon and the Gulf of Mexico in 2013.

We are fortunate to have Brent as the global benchmark for the majority of our oil-weighted production as it shows continued strength, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) remained dislocated to global benchmarks as growing domestic production resulted in an oversupply in the U.S. midcontinent. We expect the dislocation of WTI crude pricing against global benchmarks to continue for the midterm. However, with anticipated global economic recovery, we expect the supply/demand balance to remain tight and we are well positioned with our growing oil-weighted portfolio attracting Brent related pricing.

Natural gas prices in North America fell below $2.00 per million British thermal units (mmbtu) during part of 2012 as this market was oversupplied with shale gas. The Henry Hub benchmark recovered to around $3.50 per mmbtu by the end of the year. We are encouraged with recent announced LNG export projects in Canada where we have the majority of our North America dry gas position. In the near term, we will remain disciplined in our investments in North American dry gas until LNG exports for this region mature. Globally, continued strong demand for LNG provides support for solid oil-indexed pricing for our Sarawak, Malaysia gas production and should provide future growth opportunities in the region.

Our downstream business had another solid year turning in income of $197 million, excluding the Hereford ethanol plant impairment, and cash flow of $342 million, with the U.S. Retail business contributing the third highest net income in its history. Expansion of the retail network continued with the addition of 37 new stations in 2012, bringing the total number of retail outlets to 1,165 at year-end. We solidified our relationship with Walmart with an agreement to grow the retail network in core markets accessing over 200 new locations and providing the foundation for growth. In addition, we participated with Walmart on another promotional discount program on gasoline prices from September through December.

Having divested our two U.S. refineries in late 2011, we continue with the sales process for our U.K. downstream assets. During this protracted sales process, the business has continued to focus on safe reliable operations and has been able to capture margin and contribute net income through the year.

In 2012, our Company moved forward on key initiatives to unlock value for our shareholders with the plan to “spin-off” the U.S. Retail business into a separate entity, declaring a special dividend to shareholders and implementing a share repurchase program.

3

As a result of the planned “spin-off”, scheduled for the second half of 2013, Murphy USA will continue its growth as a low-price, high-volume fuel retailer to the price conscious consumer. This fuel first business will consist of retail marketing of petroleum products and convenience merchandise through a large chain of company owned and operated retail gasoline stations, located primarily on the parking lots of the largest retailer in the world. Murphy USA is poised to become a separate entity with a growth plan in place and an advantaged retail format underpinned by low cost supply to meet the needs of our value-conscious customers.

Murphy Oil Corporation will become an independent exploration and production company with principal activities in the United States, Canada and Malaysia. It will continue its global exploration program and accompanying development projects complemented by predictable growth in our North America oil-weighted onshore business led by the EFS. The EFS is on track to become Murphy’s most significant field in terms of net production with reserve potential now in excess of 300 million barrels. In the EFS we have recently cut drilling times by over 30% and continue to reduce completion costs as production maintains its steady ramp up towards 50,000-plus boepd by 2015. In addition, we are on-track with our oil development projects offshore Malaysia that will deliver substantial production growth in 2014-15.

In financial results, net income for 2012 totaled $970.9 million ($4.99 per share), up $98.2 million from 2011 primarily due to lower impairment charges and the benefit of tax deductions related to foreign exploration activity, somewhat offset by lower downstream results for the year. In August, the Board signaled support for our future growth by approving an increase to our regular dividend by 14% to an annual rate of $1.25 per share. We utilized our strong balance sheet to undertake the shareholder initiatives in the fourth quarter leaving the Company adequately capitalized to carry out our exploration and development program, ending the year with a debt-to-capital-employed ratio of 20.1%.

In closing as we look back on the performance and accomplishments of our Company over the past year, we must pause to reflect on the passing of our former Chairman, William C. Nolan, Jr., who died on March 12, 2012. Bill was an insightful leader who provided sage guidance during his 35-year tenure on the Board. He is sadly missed.

In August 2012, the Board added a capable new director in Jeffrey W. Nolan, President and CEO of Loutre Land and Timber Company. We welcome Jeff to the Board and look forward to his contributions.

David M. Wood retired as President and CEO in June 2012 after 17 years with the Company. We thank David for many contributions over his career and wish him well.

I appreciate your continued support as our Company moves forward with the spin-off of the U.S. Retail business and the creation of two strong but distinct businesses, each with a growth plan for the future. We have the team in place and together we look forward to delivering on our plans.
