REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation:
      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 2, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General  Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is engaged in the exploration, development, production and marketing of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The Company also engages in the hard minerals business through non-operated joint ventures and royalty arrangements in several coal, trona (natural soda ash) and industrial mineral mines. The terms “Anadarko” and “Company” refer to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Discontinued Operations  Certain amounts have been reclassified to present the Company’s Canadian oil and gas business (Canadian operations) as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, information presented in the notes to the financial statements relates only to Anadarko’s continuing operations. Information related to discontinued operations is included in Note 22 and in some instances, where appropriate, is included as a separate disclosure within the individual footnotes.
Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anadarko and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company accounts for investments in affiliated companies (generally 20% to 50% owned) using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In preparing financial statements, Management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, Management reviews its estimates, including those related to litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes, fair values and determination of proved reserves. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Changes in Accounting Principles  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” requires the use of fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The statement was effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter 2005 and applied prospectively for any nonmonetary exchanges occurring after the effective date. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
      In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) concluded in Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty,” that purchases and sales of inventory with the same party in the same line of business should be accounted for as nonmonetary exchanges, if entered into in contemplation of one another. Anadarko presents purchase and sale activities related to its marketing and trading activities on a net basis in the income statement. The conclusion reached on EITF Issue No. 04-13 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) FAS 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” provides guidance on the application of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to the tax deduction on qualified production as provided for in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Jobs Act). FSP FAS 109-1 provides that the deduction should be treated as a special deduction under the provisions of SFAS No. 109. The adoption of FSP FAS 109-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
      FSP FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” provides guidance on the application of SFAS No. 109 to the special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain undistributed foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer as provided for in the Jobs Act. In 2005, Anadarko’s Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors approved a domestic reinvestment plan for a $500 million repatriation of foreign earnings under the Jobs Act. The $26 million tax effect of this repatriation was recorded as current tax expense in 2005.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
      In 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recorded in the period incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. See Note 9.
      In 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation using the prospective method described in SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 were adopted in 2002. See Note 2.
      In 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” that requires additional disclosures about plan assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. See Note 20.
Properties and Equipment  The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under this method of accounting, the costs of unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as properties and equipment. This includes any internal costs that are directly related to exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country.
      Operating fees received related to the properties in which the Company owns an interest are netted against expenses. Fees received in excess of costs incurred are recorded as a reduction to the full cost pool.
Costs Excluded  Properties and equipment include costs that are excluded from costs being depreciated or amortized. Oil and gas costs excluded represent investments in unproved properties and major development projects in which the Company owns a direct interest. These unproved property costs include nonproducing leasehold, geological and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and exploration drilling costs. Anadarko excludes these costs on a country-by-country basis until proved reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are impaired. All costs excluded are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if impairment has occurred. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the capitalized costs being amortized (the depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) pool) or a charge is made against earnings for those international operations where a reserve base has not yet been established. For international operations where a reserve base has not yet been established, an impairment requiring a charge to earnings may be indicated through evaluation of drilling results, relinquishing drilling rights or other information. Costs excluded for oil and gas properties are generally classified and evaluated as significant or individually insignificant properties.
      Significant properties, primarily comprised of costs associated with domestic offshore blocks, Alaska, the Land Grant and other international areas, are individually evaluated each quarter by the Company’s exploration and engineering staff. Nonproducing leases and geological and geophysical costs are transferred to the DD&A pool based on the progress of the Company’s exploration program. Exploration drilling costs are transferred to the DD&A pool upon the determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to the properties, which is generally based on drilling results. The Company has a 10- to 12-year exploration and evaluation program for the Land Grant acreage. Costs are transferred to the DD&A pool as they are evaluated. The Land Grant’s mineral interests (both working and royalty interests) are owned by the Company in perpetuity.
      Insignificant properties are comprised primarily of costs associated with onshore properties in the United States. Nonproducing leases, along with related geological and geophysical costs, are transferred to the DD&A pool over a three- to five-year period based on the lease term. Exploration costs are transferred to the DD&A pool upon the determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to the properties.
      Other costs excluded from depreciation represent major construction projects that are in progress.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization  The depreciable base for oil and gas properties includes the sum of capitalized costs net of accumulated DD&A, estimated future development costs and asset retirement costs not

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
accrued in oil and gas properties, less costs excluded from amortization and salvage. The depreciable base of oil and gas properties and mineral investments are amortized using the unit-of-production method. All other properties are stated at original cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets, which ranges from three to 40 years. Properties and equipment carrying values do not purport to represent replacement or market values.
Capitalized Interest  Interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring assets. Oil and gas investments in unproved properties and major development projects, on which DD&A expense is not currently recorded and on which exploration or development activities are in progress, qualify for capitalization of interest. Major construction projects also qualify for interest capitalization until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is calculated by multiplying the Company’s weighted-average interest rate on debt by the amount of qualifying costs. Capitalized interest cannot exceed gross interest expense. As oil and gas costs excluded are transferred to the DD&A pool, the associated capitalized interest is also transferred to the DD&A pool. As major construction projects are completed, the associated capitalized interest is amortized over the useful life of the asset with the underlying cost of the asset.
Ceiling Test  Under the full cost method of accounting, a ceiling test is performed each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test determines a limit, on a country-by-country basis, on the book value of oil and gas properties. The capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and the related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, excluding future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, generally using prices in effect at the end of the period held flat for the life of production and including the effect of derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, discounted at 10%, net of related tax effects, plus the cost of unevaluated properties and major development projects excluded from the costs being amortized. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense and reflected as additional accumulated DD&A. For cash flow hedge effect information, see Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities — Discounted Future Net Cash Flows.
Revenues  The Company recognizes sales revenues based on the amount of gas, oil, condensate and NGLs sold to purchasers when delivery to the purchaser has occurred and title has transferred. This occurs when production has been delivered to a pipeline or a tanker lifting has occurred. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for gas imbalances. If the Company’s excess sales of production volumes for a well exceed the estimated remaining recoverable reserves of the well, a liability is recorded. No receivables are recorded for those wells on which the Company has taken less than its ownership share of production.
      The Company enters into buy/sell arrangements for a portion of its crude oil production. Under these arrangements, barrels are sold at prevailing market prices at a location and in a simultaneous transaction with the same third party, barrels are re-purchased at a different location at the market prices prevailing at that location. The barrels are then sold at prevailing market prices at the re-purchase location. These arrangements are often a requirement of private transporters. In these transactions, the re-purchase price is more than the original sales price with the difference representing a transportation fee. Other buy/sell arrangements are entered to move the ultimate sales point of the Company’s production to a more liquid location and thereby avoid potential marketing fees and deductions from the market price in the field. In these transactions, the sales price in the field and the re-purchase price are each at prevailing market prices for the respective location. Anadarko uses these buy/sell arrangements in its marketing and trading activities and, as such, reports these transactions in the income statement on a net basis.
      Marketing margins related to the Company’s equity production, realized gains and losses on derivative instruments that receive cash flow hedge accounting treatment, unrealized gains and losses attributable to ineffectiveness of derivative instruments that receive cash flow hedge accounting treatment, and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments that were undertaken to manage the price risk of the Company’s production that do not receive cash flow hedge accounting treatment are included in gas sales, oil and condensate sales and NGLs sales. The marketing margin related to purchases of third-party commodities is included in other sales.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Derivative Instruments  The majority of the derivative instruments utilized by Anadarko are in conjunction with its marketing and trading activities or to manage the price risk attributable to the Company’s expected oil and gas production. Anadarko also periodically utilizes derivatives to manage its exposure associated with the firm transportation keep-whole agreement, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. All derivatives, other than those that meet the normal purchases and sales exception, are carried on the balance sheet at fair value.
      Anadarko prefers to apply hedge accounting for derivatives utilized to manage price risk associated with the Company’s oil and gas production, foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. However, some of these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. In these instances, unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently in earnings. For those derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, Anadarko formally documents the hedging relationship including the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Each hedge is also assessed for effectiveness quarterly. Under hedge accounting, the derivatives may be designated as a hedge of exposure to changes in fair values, cash flows or foreign currencies. If the hedge relates to the exposure of fair value changes to a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, the unrealized gains and losses on the derivative and the unrealized gains and losses on the hedged item are both recognized currently in earnings. If the hedge relates to exposure of variability in the cash flow of a forecasted transaction, the effective portion of the unrealized gains and losses on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction is recorded. The ineffective portion of unrealized gains and losses attributable to cash flow hedges, if any, is recognized currently in gas sales and oil and condensate sales. Hedge ineffectiveness is that portion of the derivative’s unrealized gains and losses that exceed the hedged item’s unrealized gains and losses. In those instances where it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings in the current period. Accounting for unrealized gains and losses attributable to foreign currency hedges that qualify for hedge accounting is dependent on whether the hedge is a fair value or a cash flow hedge.
      Unrealized gains and losses attributable to derivative instruments used in the Company’s marketing and trading activities (including both physical delivery and financially settled purchase and sale contracts), the firm transportation keep-whole agreement and derivatives used to manage the exposure of the keep-whole agreement are recognized currently in earnings. The marketing and trading unrealized gains and losses that are attributable to the Company’s production are recorded to gas sales and oil and condensate sales. The marketing and trading unrealized gains and losses that are attributable to third-party production are recorded to other sales. The gains and losses attributable to the firm transportation keep-whole agreement and associated derivatives are recorded to other (income) expense.
      The Company’s derivative instruments are either exchange traded or transacted in an over-the-counter market. Valuation is determined by reference to readily available public data. Option valuations are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and verified against third-party quotations. The fair value of the short-term portion of the firm transportation keep-whole agreement is calculated based on quoted natural gas basis differentials, while the fair value of the long-term portion is estimated based on an internally developed model that utilizes historical natural gas basis differentials. See Note 7.
Inventories  Materials and supplies and commodity inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market and removed at carrying value.
Goodwill  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in previous mergers and acquisitions. The Company assesses the carrying amount of goodwill by testing the goodwill for impairment annually and upon certain events. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and all other assets and liabilities to business levels referred to as reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the book value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, including goodwill, then the goodwill is written down to the implied fair value of the goodwill through a charge to expense. Anadarko’s goodwill relates to its oil and gas reporting unit.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
      Goodwill impairment tests were performed annually as well as upon the Company’s property divestitures in 2004, and no goodwill impairments were indicated. The change in goodwill in 2005 was primarily due to the adjustment of deferred income tax liabilities related to previous acquisitions. Goodwill of $107 million was allocated to the Canadian operations and has been included in Long-Term Assets Held for Sale on the consolidated balance sheet. Future changes in goodwill may result from, among other things, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in deferred income tax liabilities related to previous acquisitions, divestitures, impairments or future acquisitions. See Note 18.
Legal Contingencies  The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. See Note 21.
Environmental Contingencies  The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than the time of the completion of the remediation feasibility study. These accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. See Note 21.
Income Taxes  The Company files various United States federal, state and foreign income tax returns. Deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes are provided on all significant temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Cash Equivalents  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation  Effective January 2003, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value method. Under the fair value method, the Company records compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The Company grants various types of stock-based awards including stock options, nonvested equity shares and performance-based equity units. The fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Nonvested equity-share awards are valued using the market price on grant date. For performance-based stock awards, the fair value of the market condition portion of the award is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation and the performance condition portion of the award is measured at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. If the requisite service period is not satisfied, compensation expense is reversed. If the requisite service period is satisfied, expense is not adjusted unless the award contains a performance condition. If an award contains a performance condition, expense is recognized only for those shares that ultimately vest using the fair value per share measured at grant date. See Notes 2 and 11.
Earnings Per Share  The Company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts have been computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS amounts include the effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options and performance-based stock awards under the treasury stock method if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. Diluted EPS amounts also include the net effect of the Company’s convertible debentures in 2003 and Zero Yield Puttable Contingent Debt Securities (ZYP-CODES) assuming the conversions occurred at the beginning of the year through the period outstanding, if including such potential common shares is dilutive. See Note 11.
New Accounting Principles  SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requires the recognition of expense for the fair value of share-based payments. The statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2003, using the “modified prospective method” described in SFAS No. 148. For 2005, 2004 and 2003,

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees. Anadarko expects to continue to use this acceptable option pricing model upon the required adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact on its results of operations or its financial position. Certain amounts attributable to the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation in the financial statements that have been previously reported in the statement of cash flow as operating activities — other items net — will be reported as financing activities since they relate to the issuance of common stock. These amounts were $53 million, $36 million and $1 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
2.  Stock-Based Compensation
      For share-based awards granted or modified after January 2003, the Company uses the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation expense. For share-based awards granted prior to 2003, Anadarko applies the intrinsic value method whereby no compensation expense is recognized for stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of Anadarko common stock on the date of grant.
      All share and price per share information presented has been restated to give retroactive effect to the May 2006 two-for-one stock split which was effected in the form of a stock dividend. See Note 11. If compensation expense for all stock option grants had been determined using the fair value method, the Company’s pro forma net income and EPS would have been as shown below:
                         
    2005   2004   2003

      Anadarko announced a refocused strategy in June 2004 that included the divestiture of certain properties. During 2004, the Company completed over $3 billion in pretax asset sales in the United States and Canada through a series of separate unrelated transactions with various third parties. The properties divested were primarily located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Western Canadian Sedimentary basin and the mid-continent region of the United States.

3.  Divestitures (Continued)
      Under full cost accounting rules, gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country. The dispositions did not significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves; therefore, the proceeds from these transactions were recognized as an adjustment of capitalized costs in the respective country cost centers.
4.  Inventories
      The major classes of inventories, which are included in other current assets, are as follows:
                 
    2005   2004
millions        
Materials and supplies
  $ 90     $ 66  
Natural gas
    18       12  
Crude oil and NGLs
    24       28  
             
Total
  $ 132     $ 106  
             
      The above table excludes $49 million and $31 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, of inventories relating to our Canadian operations which are included in Current Assets Held for Sale.
5.  Properties and Equipment
      A summary of the original cost of properties and equipment by classification follows:
                 
    2005   2004
millions        
Oil and gas
  $ 20,886     $ 18,324  
Minerals
    1,208       1,208  
Marketing and trading
    516       454  
General
    520       496  
             
Total
  $ 23,130     $ 20,482  
             
      Oil and gas properties include costs of $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which were excluded from capitalized costs being amortized. These amounts represent costs associated with unproved properties and major development projects in which the Company owns a direct interest. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s investment in countries where proved reserves have not been established was $107 million and $116 million, respectively.
      During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company made provisions for impairments of oil and gas properties of $78 million, $72 million and $103 million, respectively. The impairments in 2005 include $35 million related to unsuccessful exploration activities in Tunisia, $30 million related to exploration activities at various international locations and $13 million related to the disposition of properties in Oman. The impairments in 2004 and 2003 included ceiling test impairments of oil and gas properties in Qatar of $62 million and $68 million, respectively, as a result of lower future production estimates and other international exploration activities.
      Total interest costs incurred during 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $266 million, $428 million and $366 million, respectively. Of these amounts, the Company capitalized $60 million, $70 million and $92 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, as part of the cost of properties. The interest rates for capitalization are based on the Company’s weighted-average cost of borrowings used to finance the expenditures applied to costs excluded on which exploration, development and construction activities are in progress.
      Properties and equipment include internal costs related to exploration, development and construction activities of $143 million, $144 million and $165 million capitalized during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

None of the Company’s notes, debentures or securities contain ratings triggers accelerating the debt or requiring repayment. All of the Company’s debt is senior unsecured debt; therefore, all debt has equal priority with respect to the payment of both principal and interest.
      The unamortized debt discount of $119 million and $126 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, will be amortized over the terms of the debt issues.
      The Company has commercial paper programs that allow Anadarko to borrow funds, at rates as offered, by issuing notes to investors for terms of up to one year.
      In May 2005, the Company redeemed for cash $170 million principal amount of 6.5% Notes. In July, September and October 2004, Anadarko repurchased $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of certain series of its outstanding debt. Premiums and related expenses for these early retirements of debt totaled $104 million and were recorded as interest expense. The Company used proceeds from asset divestitures to fund the debt reductions.

6.  Debt and Interest Expense (Continued)
      In September 2004, the Company entered into a $750 million, five-year Revolving Credit Agreement with a syndicate of 20 U.S. and Canadian lenders. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can, under certain conditions, request an increase in the agreement up to a total available credit amount of $1.25 billion. The credit agreement has a maximum 60% debt to capital covenant (not affected by noncash charges), and there are no material adverse change covenants nor any ratings triggers in the agreement preventing funding or requiring repayment. The agreement terminates in August 2009. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this agreement; however, outstanding letters of credit on the agreement have reduced the available credit amount by less than $1 million.
      In May 2003, the Company issued $350 million principal amount of 3.25% Notes due 2008. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to reduce floating rate debt that was incurred in April 2003 to redeem the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020. In April 2003, Anadarko redeemed for cash its callable Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020. Anadarko funded the $384 million redemption with available credit facilities that carried a lower effective interest rate.
      At December 31, 2005 and 2004, a Canadian subsidiary had outstanding $50 million of fixed-rate notes and debentures denominated in U.S. dollars. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized gains of $2 million, $4 million and $20 million, respectively, before income taxes associated with the foreign currency remeasurement of this debt.
      In April and May 2001, Anadarko Finance Company, a wholly owned finance subsidiary of Anadarko, issued a total of $1.9 billion in notes. The intercompany debt resulting from these transactions is of a long-term investment nature; therefore, net foreign currency translation gains of $63 million, $138 million and $376 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents  The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.
Debt  The fair value of debt at December 31, 2005 and 2004 is the value the Company would have to pay to retire the debt, including any premium or discount to the debt holder for the differential between stated interest rate and year-end market rate. The fair values are based on quoted market prices and, where such quotes were not available, on the average rate in effect at year-end.
Derivative Instruments  The Company is exposed to price risk from changing commodity prices. Management believes it is prudent to periodically minimize the variability in cash flows on a portion of its oil and gas production. To meet this objective, the Company enters into various types of derivative financial instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changing commodity prices. The Company also uses fixed price physical delivery sales contracts to accomplish this objective. The types of derivative financial instruments utilized by the Company include futures, swaps and options.
      Anadarko also enters into derivative financial instruments (futures, swaps and options) and physical delivery contracts for trading purposes with the objective of generating profits from exposure to changes in the market price of natural gas and crude oil. Derivative financial instruments are also used to meet customers’ pricing requirements while achieving a price structure consistent with the Company’s overall pricing strategy. In addition, the Company may use options and swaps to reduce exposure on its firm transportation keep-whole commitment with Duke Energy Corporation (Duke).
      Futures contracts are generally used to fix the price of expected future gas sales and oil sales at major industry trading locations; e.g., Henry Hub, Louisiana for gas and Cushing, Oklahoma for oil. Swap agreements are generally used to fix or float the price of oil and gas at major trading locations. Basis swaps are used to fix or float the price differential between the price of gas at Henry Hub and various other market locations. Physical delivery purchase and sale agreements require the receipt or delivery of physical product at a specified location and price. The pricing can be fixed or market-based. Options are generally used to fix a floor and a ceiling price (collar) for expected future gas sales and oil sales. Settlements of futures contracts are guaranteed by the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or the International Petroleum Exchange and have nominal credit risk. Swap, over-the-counter traded option and physical delivery agreements expose the Company to credit risk to

the extent the counterparty is unable to meet its settlement commitment. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of each counterparty and assesses the impact, if any, on fair valuation and hedge accounting criteria. In addition, the Company routinely exercises its contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses in settling with its swap and option counterparties.
Oil and Gas Activities  At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had option contracts, swap contracts and fixed price physical delivery contracts in place to hedge the sales price of a portion of its expected future sales of equity oil and gas production (non-trading activities). The fixed price physical delivery contracts are excluded from derivative accounting treatment under the normal sale provision. The derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting treatment if they qualify and are so designated. For those derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently in oil and gas revenues.
      The fair value and the accumulated other comprehensive income balance applicable to the derivative financial instruments (excluding the physical delivery sales contracts) are as follows:
                   
    2005   2004
millions

Accumulated other comprehensive loss before income taxes
  $ (8 )   $ (35 )
Accumulated other comprehensive loss after income taxes
  $ (5 )   $ (22 )
      The difference between the fair value and the unrealized loss before income taxes recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income is due to premiums, recognition of unrealized gains and losses on derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting and hedge ineffectiveness. The net losses of $8 million ($5 million after income taxes) in the accumulated other comprehensive income balance as of December 31, 2005 are expected to be reclassified into gas and oil sales beyond 2006 as the hedged transactions occur.
      Gains attributable to cash flow hedge ineffectiveness of $10 million and $12 million were recognized in revenue during 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2005 and 2004, net unrealized losses of zero and $22 million, respectively, (before income taxes) were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to gas and oil sales for certain cash flow hedges of expected future years production for which hedge accounting was discontinued since the expected production was probable of not occurring due to either property divestitures or well performance.

      A two-way collar is a combination of options, a sold call and a purchased put. The sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) and the purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor) the Company will receive for the volumes under contract. A three-way collar is a combination of options, a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The sold call establishes a maximum price the Company will receive for the volumes under contract. The purchased put establishes a minimum price unless the market price falls below the sold put, at which point the minimum price would be the reference price (i.e., NYMEX) plus the difference between the purchased put and the sold put strike price. The fixed price hedges consist of swaps and physical delivery contracts and establish a fixed price the Company will receive for the volumes under contract.

Firm Transportation Keep-Whole Agreement A company Anadarko acquired in 2000 was a party to several long-term firm gas transportation agreements that supported its gas marketing program within its gathering, processing and marketing (GPM) business segment, which was sold in 1999 to Duke. Most of these agreements were transferred to Duke in the GPM disposition. One agreement was retained, but is managed and operated by Duke. Anadarko is not responsible for the operations of any of the contracts and does not utilize the associated transportation assets to transport the Company’s natural gas. As part of the GPM disposition, Anadarko pays Duke if transportation market values fall below the fixed contract transportation rates, while Duke pays Anadarko if the transportation market values exceed the contract transportation rates (keep-whole agreement). The term of the agreement extends through February 2009.
      The Company may periodically use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to potential decreases in future transportation market values. While derivatives are intended to reduce the Company’s exposure to declines in the market value of firm transportation, they also limit the potential to benefit from increases in the market value of firm transportation. Due to decreased liquidity, the use of derivative instruments to manage this risk is generally limited to the forward 12 months. Unrealized gains and losses attributed to the keep-whole agreement and any associated derivative instruments are recognized currently in earnings.
      The fair value of the short-term portion of the firm transportation keep-whole agreement is calculated based on quoted natural gas basis differentials. Basis differentials are the difference in value between gas at various delivery points and the NYMEX gas futures contract price. Management believes that natural gas basis price differential quotes beyond the next 12 months are not reliable indicators of fair value due to decreasing liquidity. Accordingly, the fair value of the long-term portion is estimated based on historical regional natural gas basis differentials. The Company recognized other income of $56 million, $1 million and $9 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the keep-whole agreement and associated derivative instruments. Net (payments to) receipts from Duke for 2005 and 2004 were $1 million and $(20) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, other current assets included $30 million and other long-term liabilities included $22 million related to the keep-whole agreement and associated derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2004, accounts payable included $15 million and other long-term liabilities included $39 million related to the keep-whole agreement and associated derivative instruments.
      As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s derivative financial instruments related to the firm transportation keep-whole agreement were insignificant.

Foreign Currency Risk  The Company has Canadian subsidiaries that use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. The Company’s other international subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. To the extent that business transactions in these countries are not denominated in the respective country’s functional currency, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. In addition, in these subsidiaries, certain asset and liability balances are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. These asset and liability balances are remeasured for the preparation of the subsidiary’s financial statements using a combination of current and historical exchange rates, with any resulting remeasurement adjustments included in net income during the period.
8. Sale of Future Hard Minerals Royalty Revenues
      In 2004, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it sold a portion of its future royalties associated with existing coal and trona leases to a third party for $158 million, net of transaction costs. The Company conveyed a limited-term nonparticipating royalty interest, which was carved out of the Company’s royalty interests, that entitles the third party to receive up to $229 million in future coal and trona royalty revenue over an 11-year period. Additionally, the third party is entitled to receive 5% of the aggregate royalties earned during the first ten years of the agreement that exceed $400 million. The Company retains 100% of the aggregate royalty payment receipts between $229 million and $400 million during the term of the agreement and 95% of the aggregate royalty payment receipts that are in excess of $400 million during the first ten years of the agreement. The third party relies solely on the royalty payments to recover their investment and, as such, has the risk of the royalties not being sufficient to recover their investment over the term of the agreement.
      Proceeds from this 2004 transaction were accounted for as deferred revenues, classified as liabilities on the balance sheet and reported as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The deferred revenues are amortized to other sales on a unit-of-revenue basis over the term of the agreement. During 2005 and 2004, the Company amortized $16 million and $10 million, respectively, of deferred revenues to other sales revenues related to this agreement. Proceeds from the transaction are reported in financing activities in the statement of cash flows and were primarily used to repurchase shares of Anadarko common stock.
      The specified future amounts that the third-party investor expects to receive, prior to the 5% of any excess described above, are shown below. These amounts and the payment timing are subject to change based upon the actual royalties received by the Company during the term of the agreement.

9.  Asset Retirement Obligations
      The majority of Anadarko’s asset retirement obligations relate to the plugging and abandonment of oil and gas properties. In 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143 which requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recorded in the period incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The related cumulative effect adjustment to 2003 net income was an increase of $74 million before income taxes or $47 million after income taxes, or $0.09 per share (diluted). Additionally in 2003, the Company recorded an initial asset retirement obligation liability of $278 million and an increase to net properties and equipment and other assets of $352 million. The Company did not recalculate historical quarterly full cost ceiling test calculations in determining the cumulative effect adjustment to net income. Excluding the cumulative effect adjustment to net income, the application of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Company’s DD&A expense, net income or EPS in 2003.
      The asset retirement obligations are recorded at fair value and accretion expense, recognized in DD&A expense over the life of the property, increases the liability to its expected settlement value. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost.
      The following table shows changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations. Liabilities settled in 2004 include asset retirement obligations that were assumed by the purchasers of divested properties. Revisions in estimated liabilities include, among other things, revisions to estimated property lives and the timing of settling asset retirement obligations.

10.  Preferred Stock
      Anadarko has $89 million of 5.46% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock issued in the form of 0.89 million Depositary Shares, each Depositary Share representing 1/10th of a share of the 5.46% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to a sinking fund or mandatory redemption. The shares are not convertible into other securities of the Company.
      Anadarko has the option to redeem the shares at $100 per Depositary Share on or after May 15, 2008. Holders of the shares are entitled to receive, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors, cumulative cash dividends at an annual dividend rate of $5.46 per Depositary Share. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of the shares will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in the amount of $100 per Depositary Share, for a total of $89 million, plus any accrued or unpaid dividends, before any distributions are made on the Company’s common stock.
      Anadarko repurchased $12 million of preferred stock during 2003. No gain or loss was recorded in 2003 related to the preferred stock repurchases. For each of the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, dividends of $54.60 per share (equivalent to $5.46 per Depositary Share) were paid to holders of preferred stock.

      The following activities and balances include amounts associated with Canadian operations which have been presented as discontinued operations.
      In each quarter of 2005, dividends of nine cents per share were paid to holders of common stock. In each quarter of 2004 and in the fourth quarter of 2003, dividends of seven cents per share were paid to holders of common stock. For the first, second and third quarters of 2003, dividends of five cents per share were paid to holders of common stock. The covenants in the Company’s credit agreement provide for a maximum capitalization ratio of 60% debt, exclusive of the effect of any noncash writedowns. Retained earnings were not restricted as to the payment of dividends at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
      Under the Anadarko Stockholders Rights Plan, Rights were attached automatically to each outstanding share of common stock in 1998. Each Right, at the time it becomes exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock, entitles stockholders to purchase from the Company 1/1000th of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $175. The Right will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of Anadarko common stock or announces a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of Anadarko common stock. The Board of Directors may elect to exchange and redeem the Rights. The Rights expire in 2008.
      During 2005, a $2 billion stock buyback program announced in 2004 was completed and an additional $1 billion stock buyback program was authorized. Shares may be repurchased either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program does not obligate Anadarko to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. During 2005 and 2004, Anadarko purchased 10.8 million and 20.3 million shares (pre-split) of common stock for $0.9 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, under these programs through purchases in the open market, under share repurchase agreements or in connection with put option agreements.

      In addition, the Plans provide that shares of common stock may be granted to certain employees and nonemployee directors as restricted stock. Generally, restricted stock is subject to forfeiture restrictions and cannot be sold, transferred or disposed of during the restriction period. The holders of the restricted stock have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such shares. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company granted 1.9 million, 0.5 million and 2.1 million shares, respectively, of restricted stock with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $42.38, $32.06 and $21.82 per share, respectively. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, expense related to restricted stock grants was $20 million, $11 million and $12 million, respectively.
      Anadarko and key officers of the Company have two Performance Unit Agreements with three-year terms under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The agreements provide for issuance of up to a maximum of 706,400 shares of Anadarko common stock through the end of 2008. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on a market objective and a performance objective. The shares are equally weighted between the two objectives. The number of performance units to be issued with respect to the first objective will be determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return to the total shareholder return of a predetermined group of peer companies over the performance period. The number of performance units to be issued with respect to the second objective will be determined based on the Company’s reserve replacement efficiency ratio over the performance period. During 2005, the Company recognized expense of $2 million under the agreements.
      Anadarko and a key officer of the Company have entered into a Performance Share Agreement under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The agreement provides for issuance of up to 160,000 shares of Anadarko common stock after a two-year period that ended in 2005 and a four-year period ending in 2007. The number of shares to be issued is determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return to the total shareholder return of a predetermined group of peer companies. In February 2006, 28,800 shares were issued for the period ended in 2005. During both 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized expense of $1 million under the agreement.

13.  Major Customers (Continued)
      In 2005, 2004 and 2003, sales to affiliates of Duke were $747 million, $903 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, which accounted for 12%, 18% and 33% of the Company’s total 2005, 2004 and 2003 revenues, respectively. These sales relate primarily to the Company’s oil and gas segment.
14.  Segment and Geographic Information
      Anadarko’s primary business segments are vertically integrated business units that are principally within the oil and gas industry. These segments are managed separately because of their unique technology, marketing and distribution requirements. The Company’s three segments are upstream oil and gas activities, marketing and trading activities and minerals activities. The oil and gas exploration and production segment finds and produces natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs. The marketing and trading segment is responsible for gathering, transporting and selling most of Anadarko’s natural gas production as well as volumes of gas, oil and NGLs purchased from third parties. The marketing and trading segment is also responsible for the development of liquefied natural gas facilities and markets. The minerals segment participates in non-operated joint ventures and royalty arrangements in several coal, trona (natural soda ash) and industrial mineral mines. The segment shown as All Other and Intercompany Eliminations includes other smaller operating units, corporate activities, financing activities and intercompany eliminations.
      The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Management evaluates segment performance based on operating income and various other factors. Transfers between segments are accounted for at market value.
      The following table illustrates information related to Anadarko’s business segments. Operating income (loss), shown in the table below, agrees to the consolidated statement of income where it reconciles to income before income taxes.

      Tax effects related to restructuring of certain foreign operations in prior years have been recorded to other assets on the balance sheet and are being recognized in the income statement over the estimated life of the related properties under Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” During 2005, an ARB No. 51 liability of $17 million associated with a prior year restructuring of the Company’s Venezuelan operations was reversed to income.
      The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), various state and foreign taxing jurisdictions covering multiple tax years. Although the Company believes that it has adequately provided for income taxes and related interest which may become payable for years that are under examination, the resolution of pending tax issues cannot be predicted with certainty and differences may occur in the future.

18.  Income Taxes (Continued)
      Certain subsidiaries of the Company are currently in administrative appeals with the IRS or under examination with various foreign jurisdictions for years prior to their acquisition by the Company. The Company determined in 2005 and 2004 that deferred tax liabilities related to pre-acquisition tax contingencies of approximately $101 million and $103 million, respectively, were no longer required due to completion of audits and administrative appeals, filing amended returns, reevaluation of contingencies and changes in the Company’s estimate of the ultimate tax basis of acquired assets and liabilities. Accordingly, these liabilities were reversed with an offsetting decrease to goodwill. Future events, including the conclusion of examinations and administrative appeals by taxing authorities and resolution of pre-acquisition contingencies, may result in additional adjustments to goodwill.
      The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

      As of December 31, 2004, the Company no longer meets the indefinite reinvestment criterion of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 23, “Accounting for Income Taxes — Special Areas,” for the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The resulting deferred tax liabilities have been offset with foreign tax credits.
      The Jobs Act introduced a special one-time, 85% dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer provided certain criteria are met. In 2005, Anadarko’s Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors approved a domestic reinvestment plan for a $500 million repatriation of foreign earnings under the Jobs Act. The $26 million tax effect of this repatriation was recorded as current tax expense in 2005.

19.  Commitments
LNG Facility Related Commitments   In 2005, the Company entered into precedent agreements with a third party in order to secure delivery of natural gas from a liquefied natural gas facility Anadarko is constructing in Nova Scotia, Canada, referred to as Bear Head, to prospective markets in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. The third party has agreed to expand the capacity of its pipeline so it can accommodate the projected natural gas volumes from Bear Head. The precedent agreements signed by the parties establish the conditions on which the third party will proceed with design, regulatory approvals and construction of the expansion facilities, and be obligated to transport a specified volume of gas. As a condition to entering into the precedent agreements, Anadarko executed firm service agreements for transportation on the Canadian and United States portions of the pipeline. Upon satisfaction of the obligations under the precedent agreements, the initial term of the transportation agreements is 20 years.
      Based upon the terms, Anadarko projects that annual demand charges due under the firm transportation service agreements may be in the range of $123 million to $182 million per year for the first five years from commencement of full service, potentially escalating by up to 5% in year six and 10% in year seven, exclusive of fuel and surcharges. No later than the eighth year from commencement of full service, rates under the agreements are to be redetermined based on then current conditions.
      The precedent agreements contain certain termination rights. The Company’s potential reimbursement obligation under the precedent agreements increases over time as the third party incurs pre-service costs. According to the original schedule provided by the third party, this reimbursement obligation is expected to increase from about $8 million at December 31, 2005 to $100 million at December 31, 2006, up to a maximum of $215 million in May 2007.
Leases  The Company has long-term drilling rig commitments that qualify as operating leases of $1,998 million. The Company also has various commitments under noncancelable operating lease agreements of $305 million for a production platform and equipment, buildings, facilities and aircraft. These operating leases expire at various dates through 2016. The majority of the operating lease agreements are expected to be renewed or replaced as they expire. The Company’s balance sheet does not include assets or liabilities related to these operating lease

      Total rental expense, net of sublease income, amounted to $40 million in 2005 and 2004 and $25 million in 2003. Total rental expense includes contingent rental expense related to processing fees of $7 million and $8 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Drilling Rig Commitments  During 2005, Anadarko entered into various agreements to secure the necessary drilling rigs to execute a portion of its drilling strategy over the next several years. As part of the plan, Anadarko, with two other producers, signed a four-year rig-share agreement under which a third party will build and own a new semi-submersible drilling rig with a target delivery date of mid-2008. Anadarko committed to 50% of the rig time at a cost of approximately $200 million over the contract term. The Company also executed a three-year contract for the Discoverer Spirit drillship and a contract for the Deepwater Millennium drillship of slightly more than four years. The Discoverer Spirit drillship contract begins in 2007 and the Deepwater Millennium drillship contract begins in 2006 for a combined commitment of $1.1 billion. In addition, the Company executed a three-year drilling contract to secure the Belford Dolphin drillship at a cost of $460 million over the contract period. It is anticipated the vessel will be released to Anadarko beginning in mid-2007. The Company also has multi-year contracts for drilling rigs onshore in the United States. The table of future minimum lease payments above includes approximately $2.0 billion for the Discoverer Spirit, Deepwater Millennium and Belford Dolphin drillships and certain contracts for onshore United States drilling rigs that qualify as operating leases. Lease payments for these drilling rig commitments, net of amounts billed to partners, will be capitalized as a component of oil and gas properties.
Production Platforms  During 2004, Anadarko and a group of energy companies (Atwater Valley Producers Group) executed agreements with a third party for the dedication, processing and gathering of natural gas and condensate production from several natural gas fields in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The third party will design, construct, install and own Independence Hub, a semi-submersible platform in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The platform structure, expected to be mechanically complete in late 2006, will be operated by Anadarko. First production from Anadarko’s discoveries to be processed on the facility is expected in the second half of 2007. The agreements require a monthly demand charge of about $2 million for five years beginning at the time of mechanical completion, a processing fee based upon production throughput and a transportation fee based upon pipeline throughput. Since the Company’s obligation related to the agreements begins at the time of mechanical completion, the table of future minimum lease payments above does not include any amounts related to these agreements. The agreements do not contain any purchase options, purchase obligations or value guarantees.

      In 2002, the Company entered into an agreement under which a floating production platform for its Marco Polo discovery in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico was installed in 2004. The other party to the agreement constructed and owns the platform and production facilities that upon mechanical completion became operated by Anadarko. The agreement provides that Anadarko dedicate its production from Green Canyon Block 608 and 11 other Green Canyon blocks to the production facilities. The agreement requires a monthly demand charge of approximately $2 million for five years and a processing fee based upon production throughput. Anadarko’s commitment to begin payments for the monthly demand charges was incurred upon mechanical completion in 2004. The table of future minimum lease payments above includes amounts related to the monthly demand charge for this agreement. The agreement does not contain any purchase options, purchase obligations or value guarantees.
Buildings  The Company leases two corporate office buildings located in The Woodlands, Texas. The lease term is seven years and the monthly lease payments are based on the London interbank borrowing rate applied against the lease balance. The lease contains various covenants including covenants regarding the Company’s financial condition. Default under the lease, including violation of these covenants, could require the Company to purchase the facilities for a specified amount, which approximates the lessor’s original cost of $214 million. As of December 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
      At the end of the lease term, the Company has an option to either purchase the facilities for the purchase option amount of the lease balance plus any outstanding lease payments or assist the lessor in the sale of the properties. The Company has provided a residual value guarantee for any deficiency of up to $187 million if the properties are sold for less than the lease balance. In addition, the Company is entitled to any proceeds from a sale of the properties in excess of the lease balance.
      The Company has a $5 million liability and corresponding prepaid rent asset as of December 31, 2005 related to its residual value guarantee on the corporate office buildings. If the Company determines that it is probable that the expected fair value of the property at the end of the lease term will be less than the lease balance, the liability will be adjusted accordingly. Currently, Management does not believe it is probable that the fair market value of the properties will be less than the lease balance at the end of the lease term.
Aircraft  The table of future minimum lease payments above includes the Company’s lease payment obligations of $44 million related to aircraft leases. One lease includes a residual value guarantee for any deficiency if the aircraft is sold for less than the sale option amount (approximately $11 million). In addition, the Company is entitled to any proceeds from a sale of the aircraft in excess of the sale option amount. No liability has been recorded related to this guarantee.
20.  Pension Plans, Other Postretirement Benefits and Employee Savings Plans
Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits  The Company has defined benefit pension plans and supplemental pension plans that are noncontributory and a foreign contributory defined benefit pension plan. The Company also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Health care benefits are funded by contributions from the Company and the retiree, with the retiree contributions adjusted according to the provisions of the Company’s health care plans. The Company’s retiree life insurance plan is noncontributory. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the majority of its plans.
      The following activities and balances include amounts associated with Canadian operations which have been presented as discontinued operations.
      In 2005, the Company made contributions of $116 million to its funded pension plans, $5 million to its unfunded pension plans and $7 million to its unfunded other postretirement benefit plans. Contributions to the funded plans increase the plan assets while contributions to unfunded plans are used for current benefit payments.

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $57 million, $49 million and zero, respectively, as of December 31, 2005, and $648 million, $507 million and $427 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2004. The Company’s benefit obligation under the unfunded pension plans are secured by the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation Executives and Directors Benefits Trust. See Note 11.

      As a result of executive retirements in 2003, a settlement charge of $17 million was recorded to general and administrative expense in 2003. The increase (decrease) in the Company’s minimum liability included in other comprehensive income related to the pension plans was $(96) million, $31 million and $(29) million before income taxes for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
      Following are the weighted-average assumptions used by the Company in determining the pension and other postretirement benefit obligations as of December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Rates of increase in compensation levels
    5.0 %     5.0 %     5.0 %     5.0 %
      The discount rate assumption used by the Company is meant to reflect the interest rate at which the pension and other postretirement obligations could effectively be settled on the measurement date. The Company currently uses a yield curve analysis, for a majority of the plans, to support the discount rate assumption. This analysis involves the creation of a hypothetical Aa spot yield curve represented by a series of high-quality, non-callable, marketable bonds, then discounts the projected cash flows from each plan at interest rates on the created curve specifically applicable to the timing of each respective cash flow. The present values of the cash flows are then accumulated, and a weighted-average discount rate is calculated by imputing the single discount rate that equates to the total present value of the cash flows. The consolidated discount rate assumption is determined by evaluation of the weighted-average discount rates determined for each of the Company’s significant pension and postretirement plans.
      Following are the weighted-average assumptions used by the Company in determining the net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit cost for 2005 and 2004:

Private Equity), with selective exposure to Growth/ Value investment styles. Performance for each investment is measured relative to the appropriate index benchmark for its category. Target asset allocation percentages by major category are 65% equity securities, 25% fixed income, 5% real estate and 5% private equity. Investment managers have full discretion as to investment decisions regarding all funds under their management to the extent permitted within investment guidelines. Certain investments are prohibited, including short sales, sales on margin, securities of companies in bankruptcy, investments in financial futures and commodities and currency exchanges.

      There are no direct investments in Anadarko common stock included in plan assets; however, there may be indirect investments in Anadarko common stock through the plans’ mutual fund investments. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption was determined using the year-end 2005 pension investment balances by category and projected target asset allocations for 2006. The expected return for each of these categories was determined by using capital market projections provided by the Company’s external pension consultants, with consideration of actual five-year performance statistics for investments in place.

      For year-end 2005 measurement purposes, an 11% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2005. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% in 2011 and later years. For year-end 2004 measurement purposes, a 12% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2004. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% in 2011 and later years. The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan.

20. Pension Plans, Other Postretirement Benefits and Employee Savings Plans (Continued)
Employee Savings Plan  The Company has an employee savings plan (ESP), which is a defined contribution plan. The Company matches a portion of employees’ contributions. Participation in the ESP is voluntary and all regular employees of the Company are eligible to participate. The Company charged to expense plan contributions of $14 million, in each of the years 2005, 2004 and 2003. The contributions were funded through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) until mid-2005 when the shares of the ESOP were depleted. Contributions are currently funded in cash.
21.  Contingencies
General  Litigation charges of $64 million and $62 million were expensed during 2005 and 2004, respectively. There were no significant litigation charges in 2003. The Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits and is involved in governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, royalty claims, contract claims and environmental claims. The Company has also been named as a defendant in various personal injury claims, including claims by employees of third-party contractors alleging exposure to asbestos, silica and benzene while working at refineries located in Texas, California and Oklahoma. Two companies Anadarko acquired in 2000 and 2002 sold the refineries prior to being acquired by Anadarko. While the ultimate outcome and impact on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, Management believes that the resolution of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.
Litigation  The Company is subject to various claims from its royalty owners in the regular course of business as an oil and gas producer, including disputes regarding measurement, costs and expenses beyond the wellhead and basis for royalty valuations. Among such claims, the Company was named as a defendant in a case styled U.S. of America ex rel. Harold E. Wright v. AGIP Company, et al. (the “Gas Qui Tam case”) filed in September 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division. This lawsuit generally alleges that the Company and 118 other defendants undervalued natural gas in connection with a payment of royalties on production from federal and Indian lands. Based on the Company’s present understanding of these various governmental and False Claims Act proceedings, the Company believes that it has substantial defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously assert such defenses. However, if the Company is found to have violated the Civil False Claims Act, the Company could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including treble damages and substantial monetary fines. All defendants jointly filed a motion to dismiss the action on jurisdictional grounds based on Mr. Wright’s failure to qualify as the original source of the information underlying his fraud claims, and the Company filed additional motions to dismiss on separate grounds. On September 14, 2005, the trial court declined an early appeal of its order denying the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Meanwhile, the discovery process is ongoing. The court has set a trial date for fall 2007. Management is unable to determine a reasonable range of loss, if any, related to this matter.
Other  The Company is subject to other legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of Anadarko, the liability with respect to these actions will not have a material effect on the Company.
Lease Agreement  The Company, through one of its affiliates (formerly a subsidiary of Union Pacific Resources Group, Inc. or UPRG), is a party to a lease agreement for the West Plant, a refinery facility located in Corpus Christi, Texas. The initial term of the lease expired December 31, 2003, but Anadarko had renewal options extending through January 31, 2011 at fair market rental rates and the right to purchase the West Plant at a fair market sales value on January 31, 2011. In conjunction with UPRG exiting the refinery business in 1987, the West Plant was subleased to CITGO Petroleum Corporation (CITGO) under terms substantially the same as the Company’s lease, with sublease payments during any renewal period equal to the lesser of the fair market

rental rates as determined in the Company’s lease or $5 million. Additionally, CITGO has the option under the sublease to purchase the West Plant from the Company on January 31, 2011 at a specified purchase price.
      For the renewal term, the fair market rental rates of the West Plant were to be determined by the appraisal process specified in the lease agreement. Prior to the completion of the fair market rental rate determination by the appraisers, Anadarko and the lessor agreed to rental rates for the period 2004 to 2011 and a maximum purchase price at the end of the lease term. Subsequent to this agreement, Anadarko also agreed to purchase the West Plant on January 31, 2011 at a price less than the previously stipulated maximum amount. Since the agreed upon rental rates exceeded the capped sublease payments from CITGO and the Company’s purchase price exceeded CITGO’s specified purchase price in 2011, the Company recorded a liability of $63 million in 2004. This amount represented the present value of the excess of the annual rental amounts payable to the lessor over the amounts under the sublease for 2004 to 2011 as well as the present value of the excess of the purchase price payable to the lessor in 2011 over CITGO’s specified purchase price.
Guarantees and Indemnifications  The Company has made a residual value guarantee in connection with an aircraft operating lease for any deficiency if the aircraft is sold for less than the maximum lessee risk amount of approximately $11 million. No liability has been recorded related to this guarantee.
      The Company is guarantor for specific financial obligations of a trona mining affiliate. The investment in this entity, which is not a consolidated subsidiary, is accounted for using the equity method. The Company has guaranteed a portion of amounts due under a revolving credit agreement, a term loan and various letters of credit used to secure industrial revenue bonds. The Company’s guarantees under the revolving credit agreement and the term loan expire in 2007 and 2010, respectively, coinciding with the maturity of those agreements. The Company’s guarantees under the letters of credit securing the industrial revenue bonds expire in 2006; however, these letters of credit and the related guarantees are expected to be extended or to continue until the maturity dates of the obligations which range from 2007 to 2018. The Company would be obligated to pay up to $15 million for the revolving credit agreement, $15 million for the term loan and $15 million for the industrial revenue bonds if the affiliate defaulted on these obligations. No liability has been recognized for these guarantees as of December 31, 2005.
22.  Discontinued Operations
      In June 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell its Canadian operations. Accordingly, the Canadian operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income and cash flows and the associated assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the amounts included in income from discontinued operations for all periods presented:

Oil and Gas Reserves
      The following table shows internal estimates prepared by the Company’s engineers of proved reserves, proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs), net of royalty interests, of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs owned at year-end and changes in proved reserves during the last three years. Volumes for natural gas are in billions of cubic feet (Bcf) at a pressure base of 14.73 pounds per square inch and volumes for oil, condensate and NGLs are in millions of barrels (MMBbls). Total volumes are in millions of barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE). For this computation, one barrel is the equivalent of six thousand cubic feet of gas. NGLs are included with oil and condensate reserves and the associated shrinkage has been deducted from the gas reserves.
      Algerian reserves are shown in accordance with each Production Sharing Agreement (PSA). The reserves include estimated quantities allocated to Anadarko for recovery of costs and Algerian taxes and Anadarko’s net equity share after recovery of such costs. Other international reserves are shown in accordance with the respective PSA or risk service contract and are calculated using the economic interest method.
      The Company’s reserves increased in 2005 primarily due to successful exploration and development drilling onshore North America and in the deepwaters of the Gulf of Mexico. The Company’s reserves decreased in 2004 primarily due to the divestiture of properties under the Company’s refocused strategy and current year production, offset in part by reserve additions related to exploration and development drilling in North America.
      Anadarko’s operations in Venezuela have been governed by an Operating Service Agreement (OSA) that was entered into with an affiliate of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company of Venezuela. Under the terms of the OSA, Anadarko earns a fee that is translated into barrels of oil based on current prices. This means that higher oil prices reduce the Company’s reported oil reserves and production volumes from that project; however, reserve and production fluctuations due to the economic interest calculation have no impact on the value of the project.
      In 2005, the Venezuelan Ministry of Energy and Petroleum announced that all OSAs concluded by PDVSA, between 1992 and 1997, will be subject to renegotiation. The Company and Petrobras signed a Transitory Agreement with PDVSA in September 2005. Under this agreement, the parties are currently negotiating in good faith for the conversion of the OSA to a company in which Anadarko, Petrobras and PDVSA will each have an interest. PDVSA is expected to have a majority participation interest in this company. For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 2% of the Company’s proved reserves were associated with operations located in Venezuela. The Company is unable to determine the impact of the current situation in Venezuela on future operating results or proved reserves.
      The Company’s estimates of proved reserves are made using available geological and reservoir data as well as production performance data. These estimates, made by the Company’s engineers, are reviewed annually and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by additional data. Revisions are necessary due to changes in, among other things, reservoir performance, prices, economic conditions and governmental restrictions. Decreases in prices, for example, may cause a reduction in some proved reserves due to reaching economic limits sooner.
      The procedures and controls used by Anadarko in preparing its estimates of proved reserves, as of December 31, 2005, were examined by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI), an independent worldwide petroleum consultant. NSAI reviewed fields comprising 90% of the Company’s total proved reserves, and based on those reviews and investigative analysis, conducted substantive testing on 29% of the Company’s total proved reserves.
      NSAI was able to determine that Anadarko’s estimates of proved oil and gas reserves are, in the aggregate, reasonable and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles in conformity with SEC definitions and guidelines. It should be understood that NSAI’s examination of Anadarko’s oil and gas properties does not constitute a complete reserve study or one of NSAI’s traditional audits. NSAI’s examination consisted of: (1) a review and verification of the internal reserve management and control systems; (2) a series of reviews with each of the asset teams to investigate conformance with SEC

definitions and guidelines; and, (3) substantive testing of the reserve estimates, including a detailed evaluation and comparison of the estimates for certain properties.
      Anadarko’s internal controls over reserve additions include using a corporate review team comprised of five technical experts: four members from within Anadarko, who are independent of the operating groups responsible for the reserve estimates, and a member from NSAI. Through participation on the team, NSAI reviewed 79% of the Company’s 2005 proved reserve additions. A copy of the NSAI report is attached as Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 10-K.
      The Company annually reviews all PUDs, with a particular focus on those PUDs that have been booked for three or more years, to ensure that there is an appropriate plan for development. Generally, onshore United States PUDs are converted to proved developed reserves within two years. Certain projects, such as enhanced oil recovery, arctic development, deepwater development and many international programs, may take longer, sometimes beyond five years. Over 50% of the Company’s PUDs booked prior to 2002 are in Algeria and are being developed according to an Algerian government approved plan. The remaining PUDs booked prior to 2002 are primarily associated with Alaska and ongoing programs in the onshore United States for improved recovery.
      The following table presents the Company’s PUDs vintage, geographic location and percentage of total proved reserves as of December 31, 2005:

Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
      Estimates of future net cash flows from proved reserves of gas, oil, condensate and NGLs were made in accordance with SFAS No. 69, “Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities.” The amounts were prepared by the Company’s engineers and are shown in the following table. The estimates are based on prices at year-end. Gas, oil, condensate and NGLs prices are escalated only for fixed and determinable amounts under provisions in some contracts. Estimated future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future development, production, abandonment and dismantlement costs based on year-end cost levels, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, and by estimated future income tax expense. Income tax expense, both U.S. and foreign, is calculated by applying the existing statutory tax rates, including any known future changes, to the pretax net cash flows giving effect to any permanent differences and reduced by the applicable tax basis. The effect of tax credits is considered in determining the income tax expense.
      At December 31, 2005, the present value (discounted at 10%) of future net cash flows from Anadarko’s proved reserves was $29.3 billion, (stated in accordance with the regulations of the SEC and the FASB). The increase of $10.6 billion or 57% in 2005 compared to 2004 is primarily due to higher natural gas and oil prices at year-end 2005 and successful exploration and development drilling in North America. Derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges have not been included in the estimates of future net cash flows. As of December 31, 2005, the undiscounted and discounted amounts related to cash flow hedges that would have reduced future net cash flows were $40 million and $37 million, respectively, before income taxes.
      The present value of future net cash flows does not purport to be an estimate of the fair market value of Anadarko’s proved reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, anticipated changes in future prices and costs, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in producing oil and gas. Significant changes in estimated reserve volumes or commodity prices could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      Under the full cost method of accounting, a noncash charge to earnings related to the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties on a country-by-country basis may be required when prices are low. Whether the Company will be required to take such a charge depends on the prices for crude oil and natural gas at the end of any quarter, as well as the effect of both capital expenditures and changes to proved reserves during that quarter. If a noncash charge were required, it would reduce earnings for the period and result in lower DD&A expense in future periods.
          Expected future development costs over the next three years to develop PUDs as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:
