Offshore Israel Properties Assets held for sale as of March 31, 2014, include two natural gas discoveries, offshore Israel. We expect to divest these assets pursuant to an agreement we and our partners reached with the Israeli Antitrust Authority in March 2014 on various antitrust matters. The agreement is subject to final approval of the Israeli government. The assets are held for sale at their carrying amounts as expected sales proceeds, less costs to sell, exceed the carrying amounts.
North Sea Properties   During the first three months of 2013, we sold non-operated working interests in properties located in the North Sea. The sales resulted in a $37 million gain based on net sales proceeds of $38 million. See Note 2. Basis of Presentation - Discontinued Operations.
