OPERATED FIELDSBALDERThe Balder field consists of a floating production andstorage vessel (FPSO) and subsea production systems. Itis located in the North Sea approximately 190 km westof Stavanger. In October 2003, Balder started gas exportto the Jotun facilities for processing and export viaStatpipe. Over the last years, numerous upgrades to theprocess and compression systems have been made,resulting in significantly improved reliability.Additionally, the Balder FPSO processes production fromthe Ringhorne field, which started up in February 2003.In 2003 the combined average production from Balderand Ringhorne was 68,000 barrels of oil per day.ExxonMobil has 100% ownership in the field.

JOTUNThe Jotun field is developed with two installations – awellhead/drilling platform, which produces to an FPSO.The field is located in the North Sea 200 km west ofStavanger. The average production in 2003 was 39,000barrels of oil per day. An infill drilling campaign wasinitiated in 2002. A total of five wells were drilled in2002/03, partly offsetting the field decline in 2003.ExxonMobil is the operator of Jotun and has 45% equityin the field. Other participants are Shell (45%), Petoro(3%) and Det Norske Oljeselskap (7%).

RINGHORNEThe Ringhorne field development is located about 9 kmnorth of Balder and includes both a wellhead platformand subsea production facilities. The production istransferred to the Balder vessel for final processing,storage and unloading. Work was completed in the firstquarter of 2004 to link Ringhorne into the Jotun facili-ties to optimize oil and gas production in this area. Twonew discoveries were made close to Ringhorne during2003 which will likely be developed from the Ringhorneplatform. The field began producing in February 2003,and development drilling will continue through 2006. Itis expected that production from Balder and Ringhornewill peak at between 115 -120,000 barrels oil per day.ExxonMobil has 100% ownership in the field.

SIGYNThe Sigyn field, which is located in the Sleipner area inthe North Sea, started producing on 22 December 2002.The field consists of a subsea system connected to theSleipner A platform. Sigyn production was 40.000barrels o.e. per day in 2003. ExxonMobil is the operatorand has 40% ownership in the field, along with Statoil(50%) and Norsk Hydro (10%).

PRODUCTION IN NORWAY

The graph shows ExxonMobil's total production in Norway,

figures in 1000 barrels oil equivalent per day.

OBO – FIELDS OPERATED BY OTHERSExxonMobil’s production from fields operated byothers averaged 287,000 barrels of oil equivalents perday in 2003. In total, ExxonMobil has ownership interests in approximately 20 producing fields on the Norwegian continental shelf.

Three major new OBO projects were started up in2003; Grane field where ExxonMobil has 25,6%interest, Mikkel with 33% interest, and Fram Westwith 25% interest.

Three new projects are expected to be finished in2004: Sleipner West Compression and Sleipner WestAlpha North with 32% interest and Oseberg South-Jstructure with 5% interest. Start-up of further 8–10

OBO projects is anticipated over the next 3–4 years,including major new OBO fields like Kristin and OrmenLange. Investments in upgrading of existing plantsand new fields indicate that liquids production overthe next 1–2 years could increase by 20%, while thegas production could increase by 10–15% over thenext 4–5 years.

The Statfjord field, where ExxonMobil has 21% inter-est, is one of the largest contributors to liquids pro-duction, and important decisions lie ahead concerningStatfjord Late Life production.

“We are committed to maintaining safe and environmentally responsible opera-tions in our search for new oil and gas fields” Timothy Tyrrell, Exploration Manager, Norway

TECHNOLOGYThe organization in Norway can draw on ExxonMobil’stechnology, research efforts and experience gainedworldwide. Examples are use of 4-D seismic to plannew Jotun wells, EM Power – a highly advanced datatool for reservoir modelling, advanced extended reach,horizontal wells for increased recovery from Jotun andRinghorne, etc.

OG21 is an initiative started by Norwegian authoritiesto develop new technology and new systems tomaintain the production on the Norwegian Continental

Shelf. In this program ExxonMobil has a leading rolein the area “cost-effective drilling”, and the companyparticipates in two projects related to emissions to airand discharges to sea.

ExxonMobil is the energy company worldwide investingmost on research and development – more than 600million dollars per year – and furthermore, the company is increasing rather than cutting down on itsresearch programs.

EXPLORATIONExxonMobil has been an active explorer in Norwaysince 1965 when Esso Norge AS was awarded the firstthree exploration licenses on the NorwegianContinental Shelf (NCS). Since that time the companyhas explored in the Barents Sea, the North Sea andNorwegian Sea discovering commercial reserves inexcess of 3.5 billion oil equivalent barrels. Over thelast 10 years in particular, ExxonMobil has exploredactively in the deepwater blocks of the Norwegian Seaand around existing infrastructure of the North Seaand Haltenbanken. This exploration program and par-ticipation in over 100 wells during the last 10 yearshave resulted in finding more than 1 billion net oilequivalent barrels emphasizing the value of having adiverse portfolio of frontier and mature area opportu-nities. The success is due to the application of state-of-the-art exploration technologies, a very high quali-ty and highly trained local staff and access to techni-cal expertise on a global scale.

ExxonMobil's exploration activities during 2003 yield-ed promising results. Out of a total of 20 explorationwells drilled by the industry on the NCS, ExxonMobildrilled 5 wells. They resulted in two oil discoveries in

block 25/8 in the Utsira High area, and a minor gas dis-covery on the Naglfar Dome in the deep water Vøringbasin in the Norwegian Sea. The last two explorationwells, the Isak well (Block 25/9) east of the JotunField and the Beta West well (Block 16/7) in theSleipner Area, turned out dry.

ExxonMobil is a long term player on the NCS buildingfor the future of the Norwegian oil and gas industry.The company has applied actively in the “Open Door”round called APA ( Awards in Predefined Areas). Forthe 18th licensing round ExxonMobil conducted anextensive evaluation which resulted in an applicationfor multiple blocks. A crucial element for the future isaccess to high quality exploration acreage in areascurrently not open for exploration activity. We willcontinue to show our commitment to coexistence withall industries through flawless implementation of ourexploration programes resulting in zero harmfulimpact on the environment. Our performancedemonstrated on the NCS to date, coupled with ourworldwide experience in environmentally sensitive areas,operating procedures and advanced technology ensuresthat the coexistence will continue into the future.

REFINING AND LOGISTICS

MARKETING

ExxonMobil’s refinery at Slagentangen, Vestfold, inau-gurated in 1961, is located in a sheltered environmentat the Oslofjord, in an area serving as a recreationresort for the population of the eastern part ofNorway. The refinery processes crude oil into fuels forsea, land and air transportation, as well as heatingproducts. Annual production capacity is 5.5 milliontons of crude oil per year, which represents more thanhalf of Norway’s total consumption. The refinery con-verts crude oil, mainly from the North Sea, into mostqualities of engine fuels and fuel oils. The lightest arepropane and butane. Then follows petrol, aviationfuel, kerosine, diesel and light fuel oil. The heaviestproduct is heavy oil. In 2002 a new diesel reactor wastied in and put into operation. With this new equip-ment Slagen was able to produce sulphur free diesel(less than 10 ppm sulphur) which is a prerequisite for

modern, environmental friendly cars with catalysttreatment of exhaust gases, 3 years before this is alegal requirement.

Around 60% of the refinery production is exported,qualifying the refinery as one of the largest exportcompanies of mainland Norway. All crude oil andaround 90% of the total production is offloaded/loaded at the jetty which can receive ships up to 250,000 ton deadweight. Annually around 800 shipscall on the port. Slagentangen also houses theSupplies, Transportation and Distribution (STD)section in charge of all ExxonMobil’s trade of crude oiland petroleum products – both refinery productionand production from the fields in the North Sea – inaddition to managing major storage terminals situatedaround the country.

ExxonMobil markets products under both the Esso andMobil brands through a chain of 337petrol stations all over Norway.ExxonMobil’s overall market share forpetroleum products is 22%, the sameshare as for petrol. A speciality chain iscurrently being established under thename “On the Run”, and the first stationof this concept was opened in Vestby,Akershus, in 2001. A total of thirteen “Onthe Run” stations had been opened by theend of 2003. The initiative signifies thatExxonMobil is expanding the selection ofgoods available at its gasoline stations –groceries and light meals. ExxonMobil’s

sale of products outsidethe gasoline stationsis partly basedon direct sale tocustomers andpartly throughdealers and salesdistributors. Themain products arefuels for land, sea,and air transporta-tion, heating pro-ducts and lubricantsas well as specialproducts.

“The refinery has over many years been a forerunner in meeting new environmentaldemands, in particular in areas such as energy efficiency and production of sulphur-free diesel qualities.” Petter Finn Holland, Slagen refinery manager

The figure shows the price structure (in øre per liter) of unleaded 95 octane gasoline as of January 2003. It appears that total taxes to the State constitute 70 percent of the retail price.

“In ExxonMobil it is fundamental that we all operate safely, influencing others todo the same.” Kathy Pepper, Production and Country Manager

SAFETY AND HEALTH

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTThe petroleum activities both onshore and offshoremust be undertaken within the framework of a sus-tainable development, and in a manner that ensurescoexistence with other interests.

To meet these challenges, the environmental programof ExxonMobil in Norway is fully integrated in theplanning and execution of our activities. The environ-mental management system, based on the inter-national standard ISO 14001, is designed to ensuresystematic and continuous improvement within theenvironmental area.

Overall environmental objectives include amongstother targets for zero-acute pollution, achieving a zeroharmful discharges level to sea by year 2005, reducingemissions to air, minimizing the amount of waste andthe risk of undesirable incidents, contributing toenvironmentally related research and striving for anoptimally efficient use of energy.

ACTIVITIES AND RESULTSEXPLORATION & PRODUCTION 2003

A series of measures reducing discharges have beenimplemented at the ExxonMobil operated fields.Injection of produced water from Balder, Jotun and

Ringhorne contributes significantly to reducingdischarges to sea. Furthermore, at Jotun andRinghorne, discharges of drilling waste are reducedthrough injection. Combined with focus on chemicalreduction and by substituting environmentally harmfulchemicals with more environmentally friendly alterna-tives, it has been possible to reduce environmentalrisks related to discharges to sea.

On the Ringhorne platform a number of technologicalsolutions have been implemented to reduce emissionsto air in addition to discharges to sea. Measuresinclude amongst other closed flare during normaloperations and power generation by means of one low-NOx turbine, in addition to two conventionalturbines.ExxonMobil is co-operating with other operators toensure efficient reduction of non-methane volatileorganic compounds (nmVOC) emissions from shuttletankers. In addition, installation of nmVOC reductionfacilities have been completed at the Balder and Jotunproduction ships. These activities will meet the gov-ernment’s requirement for reducing nmVOC emissionby year 2005.

Detailed results for ExxonMobil’s producing fields the lastthree years are found in the brochure under ”Key figures”.

ExxonMobil in Norway has worked to create anenvironment where people care about and help eachother to achieve a common goal – “Nobody Gets Hurt”.We have established and visualized an importantprinciple in our safety work – all injuries andincidents can be avoided.

We are particularly pleased that our supply base oper-ations have had 15 years without any lost time inci-dents and that no upstream contractors incurred anylost time incidents in 2003. Regrettably, we had tonote that one of our upstream employees incurred alost time incident in 2003. Continuous focus on safetyis necessary to reduce and eventually eliminate majorand minor injuries.

The Slagen refinery unfortunately had two lost timeincidents in 2003 – one for own employees and onefor one of our contractors.

To achieve the goal that nobody gets hurt, we willcontinue working systematically to make sure we allhave the same attitude regarding working safely.

ExxonMobil in Norway has managed to keep the sick-ness absense low. In 2003, the sickness absense wasreduced to 3.2% which is somewhat lower than theyear before. In comparison, the general sicknessabsense in Norway increased to 8.1% in 2003.

ExxonMobil also has programs for continuous reduc-tion of exposures injurious to health, including expo-sures to chemicals and noise.

PRODUCED WATEROn the Balder/Ringhorne and Jotun fields, 79% and49% of the produced water volume was injectedrespectively in 2003. The average oil content inproduced water has been continuously reduced since2000. In 2003, the weighted annual average contentof oil in produced water was 14 mg oil /l for all fields.

CHEMICALSDischarges from ExxonMobil’s drilling and productionactivities totalled 12,881 tonnes in 2003, of whichwater and ”green” chemicals represented more than99%. Green chemicals are chemicals that occurnaturally in seawater or are considered to haveminimal environmental effect.

CO2 AND NOx *Total emissions of CO2 over recent years have beenstable, while NOx emissions have declined.TheRinghorne field started up in 2003, and the 2003 datainclude emissions from this development. The specificemissions of CO2 and Nox (emissions per exportedunit) have thus been reduced from 2002 to 2003.

NmVOCExxonMobil's operations have produced loweremissions of volatile organic hydrocarbons (nmVOC) in2003 compared with previous years. As a result ofmajor facility upgrades to install VOC recoveryequipment on the production ships as well as onshuttle tankers, substantial cuts in nmVOC emissionsare expected in coming years.

ACTIVITIES AND RESULTSREFINING 2003

SULPHUR FREE DIESELThe refinery delivers ”eco-diesel” in all qualities,including almost sulphur free ”eco-diesel” with less than 0.001 percent sulphur content.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

The refinery had no breach of dischargepermission limits for emission to air andwater in 2003. Unfortunately we hadthree acute discharges of oil to theground, which all were reportedto The CoastalDirectorate/State PollutionControl Authority (SFT)and thoroughlyfollowed up.

EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTIVEA thorough assessment with regard to the Europeanenvironmental directive Integration PreventionPollution Control (IPPC) was prepared and sent to theState Pollution Control Authority in 2003. The analysisshows that the refinery at Slagentangen performs verywell in comparison with other refineries both withregard to efficient use of energy and emission to airand water.

INSPECTION AND REHAB OF PIPE SYSTEMS ON THEQUAY AND IN THE TANK PARKA comprehensive work with risk assessment, inspec-tion and rehab of these pipe systems has now beenongoing for more than three years. The pipe systemsin the quay area have been inspected and rehabilitatedfor NOK 45 million. A further NOK 20–30 million areestimated needed to finish the inspection and rehabprogram.

RISK ASSESSMENT AND REVISION OF EMERGENCYPREPAREDNESS AGAINST ACUTE SPILLSIn cooperation with an external consultant compre-hensive risk assessment work of the refinery’s opera-tions with regard to risk of acute spills to ground, airand water has been done. The conclusion is that thetotal environmental risk at the refinery has becomesignificantly lower.
