UPSTREAM

Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 2.59 million barrels per day in the first quarter 2014, down from 2.65 million barrels per day in the 2013 first quarter. Production increases from project ramp-ups in Nigeria, Angola and the United States were more than offset by normal field declines and weather-related, unplanned downtime, particularly in Kazakhstan.

U.S. upstream earnings of $912 million in the first quarter 2014 were down $220 million from a year earlier due to lower crude oil production and realizations and higher operating and depreciation expenses, partially offset by higher natural gas realizations.

The company’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and natural gas liquids was $91 in the first quarter 2014, down from $94 a year ago. The average sales price of natural gas was $4.77 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $3.11 in last year’s first quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 640,000 barrels per day in the first quarter 2014 was down 24,000 barrels per day, or 4 percent, from a year earlier. Production increases in the Marcellus Shale in western Pennsylvania and the Delaware Basin in New Mexico were more than offset by normal field declines. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 4 percent in the 2014 first quarter to 438,000 barrels per day, while net natural gas production decreased 3 percent to 1.21 billion cubic feet per day.

International upstream earnings of $3.4 billion decreased $1.4 billion from the first quarter 2013. The decrease between quarters was primarily due to lower crude oil production and realizations and higher tax, depreciation and exploration expenses. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $53 million in the 2014 quarter, compared with an increase of $172 million a year earlier.

The average sales price for crude oil and natural gas liquids in the first quarter 2014 was $99 per barrel, down from $102 a year earlier. The average price of natural gas was $6.02 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $6.07 in last year’s first quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 1.95 million barrels per day in the first quarter 2014 was down 33,000 barrels per day, or 2 percent, from a year ago. Production increases due to project ramp-ups in Nigeria and Angola were more than offset by normal field declines and weather-related, unplanned downtime, particularly in Kazakhstan. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 2 percent to 1.28 million barrels per day, while net natural gas production was essentially unchanged at 4.04 billion cubic feet per day.

DOWNSTREAM

U.S. downstream operations earned $422 million in the first quarter 2014 compared with earnings of $135 million a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales and a gain on the sale of an interest in a pipeline affiliate. Lower operating expenses, in part due to lower planned turnaround activity in first quarter 2014, also contributed to the increase in earnings.

Refinery crude oil input of 872,000 barrels per day in the first quarter 2014 increased 296,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to the absence of effects of an August 2012 incident at the refinery in Richmond, California, that shut down the crude unit. The absence of first quarter 2013 planned turnaround activities at the refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi, also contributed to the increase. Refined product sales of 1.20 million barrels per day were up 100,000 barrels per day from the first quarter 2013, mainly reflecting higher gas oil and kerosene sales. Branded gasoline sales increased 1 percent to 505,000 barrels per day.

International downstream operations earned $288 million in the first quarter 2014, compared with $566 million a year earlier. The decrease was mainly due to lower margins on refined product sales. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $28 million in the 2014 period, compared to an increase of $76 million in the 2013 period.

Refinery crude oil input of 774,000 barrels per day in the first quarter 2014 decreased 44,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, mainly as a result of planned downtime at the Star Petroleum Refining Company in Thailand. Total refined product sales of 1.40 million barrels per day in the 2014 first quarter were down 46,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, mainly due to lower fuel oil sales.
