BP (UK): Third quarter 2019 results
• Underlying replacement cost profit for the third quarter of 2019 was

impacted by significantly lower Upstream earnings, resulting from
lower prices, maintenance and weather impacts.

billion resulted in a reported loss for the quarter of $0.7 billion.
• Operating cash flow, excluding Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments,
was $6.5 billion for the quarter, including a $0.1 billion working capital
release (after adjusting for net inventory holding losses). Gulf of
Mexico oil spill payments were $0.4 billion on a post-tax basis.
• A dividend of 10.25 cents per share was announced for the quarter.
Scrip dividend alternative suspended for the third quarter.

a quarter that saw lower oil and gas prices and significant hurricane
impacts. Our focus remains firmly on maintaining financial
discipline and delivering safe and reliable operations throughout BP.

CNOOC (Hong Kong) Limited Announces Key Operational
Statistics for the Third Quarter of 2019
• The Company achieved a total net production of 124.8 million barrels of oil equivalent
(“BOE”) for the third quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 9.7% year over year (“YoY”).
Production from offshore China increased 8.9% YoY to 80.2 million BOE, mainly attributable
to production growth from the commencement of new projects. Overseas production increased
11.2% YoY to 44.6 million BOE, mainly due to the contribution from the new projects of Egina
and Appomattox.
• During the period, the Company made three new discoveries and drilled 19 successful
appraisal wells. In offshore China, Kenli 6-1 in Bohai was successfully appraised and is
expected to be a mid-sized oil and gas structure. In Guyana, the new discovery of Tripletail was
made in the Stabroek block, which is the fourteenth oil discovery achieved in the block and will
support the future development of the Turbot area.
• On development and production, three out of six new projects planned for this year have
commenced production. Bozhong 34-9 oil field, Caofeidian 11-1/11-6 comprehensive
adjustment project and Wenchang 13-2 comprehensive adjustment project are undergoing
offshore commissioning.
• The unaudited oil and gas sales revenue of the Company reached approximately RMB48.34
billion for the third quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 0.8% YoY, mainly due to the
increase in production offset the decrease in realized prices. During this quarter, the Company’s
average realized oil price decreased 14.9% YoY to US$60.89 per barrel, which is in line with
the international oil prices. The Company’s average realized gas price decreased 8.8% YoY to
US$5.70 per thousand cubic feet, mainly due to the increased proportion of gas production with
lower realized gas price.
• For the third quarter of 2019, the Company's capital expenditure increased 27.9% YoY to
approximately RMB19.53 billion, mainly due to the significant increase in workload.
Executive Commentary
President of CNOOC Limited, commented: “In the third quarter, the Company further
strengthened its efforts in exploration and development, seeing a steady increase in net
production in offshore China and from overseas. The Company is confident of achieving
the full-year production and operation targets, and will strive to create maximum and
enduring value for its shareholders.”

Executive Commentary
"After growing significantly during the first two quarters of the year,
Diamondback’s oil production declined in the third quarter due to the sale of
our Central Basin Platform assets effective July 1, 2019, which removed
~5,800 barrels per day of low margin oil production from our asset base.
Notwithstanding the effect of this sale, Diamondback’s overall production
grew, but the oil percentage declined in the third quarter due to the
completion of 18 wells in our Vermejo area in Reeves County and 14 wells
in Glasscock County, five of which were DUCs drilled prior to the closing of
the Energen merger. Wells in these two areas on average begin production
with oil cuts of ~65% and made up over 35% of total gross wells completed
in the third quarter, versus 12% of wells completed in the first half of 2019
and ~15% of expected fourth quarter wells. This completion mix, along
with the return of significant oil volumes that were impacted by offset
completions in the third quarter, is expected to result in fourth quarter 2019
oil production growth of ~3% from third quarter volumes. As a result of the
change in our portfolio asset mix due to the Energen merger, we now expect
to average 66% - 67% oil for full year 2019 and ~66% oil in 2020," stated
Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback.

Equinor (Norway) third quarter 2019 results
• Adjusted earnings were USD 2.59 billion in the third quarter, down from USD 4.84 billion in the same period
in 2018. Adjusted earnings after tax were USD 1.08 billion, down from USD 1.99 billion in the same period last
year. Lower prices for both liquids and gas impacted the earnings for the quarter.
• IFRS net operating income was negative USD 0.47 billion in the third quarter, down from USD 4.60 billion in
the same period of 2018. IFRS net income was negative USD 1.11 billion in the third quarter, down from
positive USD 1.67 billion in the third quarter of 2018. Net operating income was impacted by net impairment
charges of USD 2.79 billion, of which USD 2.24 billion relates to unconventional onshore assets in North
America, mainly as a result of more cautious price assumptions.
• Equinor delivered total equity production of 1,909 mboe per day in the third quarter, down 8% from the same
period in 2018. The flexibility in the gas fields is used to delay production to periods with higher expected gas
prices. High turnaround activity also impacted the production.
• As of the end of third quarter 2019, Equinor has completed 32 exploration wells with 14 commercial
discoveries. Adjusted exploration expenses [5] in the quarter were USD 0.26 billion, compared to USD 0.24
billion in the same quarter of 2018, with more wells drilled and completed.
• Cash flows provided by operating activities before taxes paid and changes in working capital amounted to
USD 16.60 billion for the first nine months of 2019 compared to USD 20.43 billion in the same period of 2018.
Organic capital expenditure was USD 7.38 billion for the first nine months of 2019. At quarter end, net debt to
capital employed1 was 22.5%, also impacted by currency effects and the impairments in the quarter. Following
the implementation of IFRS 16, net debt to capital employed1 was 28.4%.
• The board of directors has decided on a dividend of USD 0.26 per share for the third quarter. In the third
quarter Equinor launched a share buy-back programme of up to USD 5 billion over a period until the end of
2022. In the first tranche shares will be purchased for up to USD 500 million in the market, and by the end of
the third quarter shares for USD 91 million have been settled and paid.
• The twelve-month average Serious Incident Frequency (SIF) was 0.6 for the twelve months ended 30
September 2019, compared to 0.5 for the same period a year ago.
Executive Commentary
“We maintain strong cost and capital discipline, but our results are impacted by lower commodity prices in
the quarter. In addition, we have decided to use our flexibility to defer gas production to periods with
higher expected prices. Based on our strong balance sheet and outlook for profitable growth, we have in
the quarter demonstrated our commitment to capital distribution and are executing the first tranche of a
5-billion-dollar share buy-back programme.” says President and CEO of Equinor ASA.

Galp (Portugal) set for new growth cycle, boosts investment on
projects for the energy transition
• Adjusted net income (RCA) in the first nine months of 2019 declined 33% from a
year earlier, to €403 million. Non-recurring events totaling €128 million include the
impact of recent unitization processes in Brazil. Net income by international
accounting standards, known as IFRS, was €283 million.
• Nine-month Capex marginally declined to €573 million when compared with the
same period of 2018, with 73% allocated to E&P projects. Downstream Capex
focused mainly on energy efficiency improvements in the refineries, as well as on
maintenance works.
• As of September 30, net debt stood at €1.645 billion, €92 million below year-end,
reflecting the company’s positive cash generation during the three quarters. Net
debt to Ebitda is 0.8x.
• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda
RCA) at the end of September totaled €1.73 billion, or €3 million more than in the
same period a year before. More than 85% of Galp’s Ebitda originated in
international markets.
• The E&P unit has contributed to balance Galp’s operational results at a period in
which Galp’s refining system operated with constraints, particularly during the third
quarter, namely with the implementation of energy efficiency projects and
programmed maintenance works. The drop in refining margins, from $5.1 to $3 per
barrel, also contributed to a drop in Refining and Marketing operational earnings in
the first nine months of 2019 from a year earlier to €317 million.
Executive Commentary
“We are preparing Galp for a new growth cycle in which we will contribute
very actively to the energy transition,” said Chief Executive Officer. “We will
promote economically and environmentally sustainable solutions, maintaining,
as always, the commitment towards acting in a socially responsible manner that
will not cease to ensure the company’s long-term growth, its financial discipline

Hellenic Petroleum (Greece): Third quarter / Nine-month 2019
financial results
• 3Q19 Adjusted EBITDA came in at €201m, a notable improvement vs last quarters, while
Adjusted Net Income amounted to €90m. Higher total production, at 4.3m MT and good
operations at refining units, despite end of run performance ahead of scheduled shut-downs
and IMO test runs, resulted to sales exceeding 4m MT. Equally, improved performance in
Domestic and International Fuels Marketing had a positive contribution.
• The BoD, considering the strong results, as well as positive outlook for the Group,
decided the distribution of an interim dividend of €0.25/share, payable in January 2020.
• IFRS Reported Results were affected by crude price movements, which in 3Q19 dropped
to the lower levels of the last two years, leading to a 12% drop in Revenues to €2.3bn.
Equally, impact on Net Income was also negative, with inventory valuation losses of €43m,
vs €53m gains recorded in 3Q18, as prices then increased. It should be noted that the
results include for the first time the impact of new IFRS 16 on operating leases of retail fuel
stations and other equipment.
• The Group continued to improve its financial position, with finance cost further dropping
by 25% y-o-y in 3Q19, at €27m, mainly on account of repayment of the €325m Eurobond
issued in 2014. Furthermore, during the quarter, the Group proceeded to the successful
issue of a new €500m, 2% Eurobond, with partial refinancing of existing bonds maturing in
2021. The transaction is expected to lead to an additional annual decrease in finance costs
of approximately €15m, with total reduction exceeding 50% in the last 3 years, with a
notable impact on the Group’s cash flow profile and dividend distribution capacity.
Executive Commentary
Group CEO, commented on results: “Improved 3Q19 results, the strongest of last 3
quarters, are particularly encouraging, on the back of a material improvement in
environment. We are operating in a highly cyclical industry, without the ability to
influence international developments. As a result, it is important to focus on issues we
can control through strategic direction, managing and operating our business units and
improving competitiveness. Despite 2019 being the most challenging refining
environment in the last few years, our results and financial position are strong. On a
positive note, domestic fuels market recorded a 3% growth. We consider the short-term
outlook to be positive, with the introduction of new bunkering fuel specs; our recent
performance in capital markets, with the successful Eurobond issue in 3Q19, further
confirms the confidence of the domestic and international investor community in
HELLENIC PETROLEUM. I would like to thank once again the management and
employees for their significant contribution to our successful performance.”

MOL Group (Hungary) Upgrades 2019 Guidance After Robust
Q3 Results
• Upstream EBITDA declined to USD 235mn in Q3, reflecting lower oil
and significantly lower gas prices. The volume of hydrocarbon production
slightly decreased by 1 % year-on-year in Q3 and stood at 107,500 barrels
of oil equivalent per day (boepd), but year to date production of 112
thousand boepd remains above the full-year guidance.
• Downstream segment’s Clean CCS EBITDA improved by 4 % to 272mn
USD in the third quarter, as refinery margins rebounded from the H1
decrease. Motor fuel demand continued to expand by 3% in the relevant
CEE region and supported the downstrem results. MOL’s biggest ever
organic investment, polyol plant construction site works boosted up in Q3
and progresses as scheduled.
• Consumer Services reached new all-time high quarterly result at USD
161mn, up by 10% year-on-year as both non-fuel and fuel margins
expanded further, and the segment benefits from the strong regional fuel
demand trends as well. MOL’s flagship Fresh Corner branded non-fuel
concept rollout dynamically continues across the network, the number of
reconstructed sites with Fresh Corners rose to 794 from 615 a year ago.
• The Gas Midstream segment reached USD 27mn EBITDA in Q3, 8%
higher than a year ago.
Executive Commentary
Chairman-CEO commented the results: “The strong financial delivery
of our resilient, integrated business model in the first 9 months allows
us to upgrade our full-year 2019 Clean CCS EBITDA guidance to
around USD 2.4bn (from around USD 2.3bn). We also continue to
generate positive simplified free cash flow, thus fully funding even the
nearly doubling organic investments, as we push forward with our
strategic transformational projects. The flagship polyol plant remains
on track and on schedule, with major construction site works boosted
up in Q3 and overall completion now exceeding 35%.”

Azerbaijan’s ACG Field And 8.9% In The Btc Pipeline
MOL has signed an agreement with Chevron Global Ventures Ltd and
Chevron BTC Pipeline, Ltd to acquire their non-operated E&P and
mid-stream interests in Azerbaijan, including a 9.57% stake in the
Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (“ACG”) oil field, and an effective 8.9% stake
in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (“BTC”) pipeline that transports the crude
to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, for total consideration of USD
1.57bn (subject to adjustments at closing). Once completed, this
transaction will make MOL the third largest field partner in ACG. The
supergiant ACG field is Azerbaijan’s flagship oil producing asset
covering 400 square kilometers and including six off-shore production
platforms. It has been producing oil since 1997 and has an excellent 20
year-long operational track record. The country’s largest oil field is
operated by the oil giant BP and produced on average 584,000 barrel
per day in 2018. MOL Group will team up with world-class partners
such as BP, Exxon, Equinor and SOCAR in this key strategic asset.

Sea.
Executive Commentary
“This major USD 1.57bn transaction is a significant milestone in
building our international E&P portfolio, in one of our core regions,
the CIS, where we will team up with world-class partners.
Following the closing of the deal, around half of our production will
come from outside the CEE region, giving us a healthy balance.
With these new barrels we are also strengthening our resilient,
integrated business model, which will continue to generate robust
cash flow to finance the MOL 2030 transformational projects as well
as rising dividends to our shareholders.” – commented MOL
Group’s Chairman-CEO.

NOV (USA) announces Q3 earnings results
• Reported third quarter 2019 revenues of $2.13 billion, compared to $2.13 billion for the second quarter
of 2019 and $2.15 billion for the third quarter of 2018.
• Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $244 million, which included non-cash, pre-tax charges of
$314 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA (operating profit excluding depreciation, amortization, and other items) increased $67
million sequentially to $262 million, or 12.3 percent of sales.
NOV had several significant achievements this quarter:
• NOV was awarded the equipment package and design orders for one of the world’s largest offshore
wind turbine installation vessels by Shimizu Corporation in Japan.
• NOV announced a contract award by a joint venture between Shapoorji Palloonji Oil and Gas and Bumi
Armada Berhad for the Company’s submerged turret production (STP™) system.
• NOV secured the first orders for the QuickLatch™ wireline wellhead connection systems from a major
operator in China.
• NOV received an award from a drilling contractor in the Middle East to outfit 21 rigs with the
Company’s VSM™ 300 shale shaker.
• NOV acquired Denali, Inc., a leader in fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products with more than 50
years of experience providing highly engineered, lightweight, corrosion-resistant equipment and services
to the petroleum, chemical, power generation, and water markets.

design already seeing remarkable success in Saudi Arabia.
• NOV successfully deployed its VectorZIEL rotary steerable systems (RSS) tools into Latin America for
the first time.
• NOV shipped its first managed-pressure-drilling (MPD) package into Egypt to an established customer.
• NOV’s SelectShift™ downhole adjustable motor helped a major independent operator improve drilling
times and reduce bit repair costs in West Texas, proving the ability of the SelectShift™ motor to
seamlessly shift between drilling modes can meaningfully extend bit life in the region.
Executive Commentary
"In the third quarter, adjusted EBITDA improved significantly relative to second quarter results due
to accelerating cost reductions, a favorable revenue shift towards higher-margin offshore and
aftermarket businesses, and positive project close-out variances," commented Chairman, President,
and CEO. "While third quarter revenue was essentially flat with the prior quarter, margins improved
as sales growth in international and offshore markets helped offset sequential declines from North
American operations where our customers are reducing their spending."

Noble Energy (USA) Closes on Acquisition of Interest in the Eastern
Mediterranean Gas (EMG) Pipeline
Noble Energy, Inc. announced that the Company and its partners have
closed on the acquisition of a 39 percent equity interest in the Eastern
Mediterranean Gas Company S.A.E. (“EMG”), which owns the EMG
Pipeline. The pipeline will be used to transport natural gas volumes
into Egypt under the Company’s gas supply agreements with Dolphinus
Holdings (“Dolphinus”). Noble Energy’s net acquisition investment in
the EMG Pipeline totaled $185 million, and the Company’s effective
interest in the pipeline is 10 percent. The EMG Pipeline is a
90-kilometer pipeline, located primarily offshore, that serves as a
connection between the Israeli pipeline network and the Egyptian
pipeline network. The acquisition of interest in the pipeline was
contingent upon technical third-party recertification, including
completion of successful intelligent pigging and pressure testing of the
pipeline, which were accomplished over the past months, as well as
finalization of several commercial agreements. Noble Energy intends to
use the pipeline to accommodate the Company’s existing natural gas
contracts from Leviathan and Tamar into Egypt, commencing January
2020 and increasing to 650 MMcf/d, gross, by mid-2022.
Executive Commentary
Noble Energy’s Senior Vice President, Offshore, stated, “The
closing of the EMG acquisition will support delivery of natural gas
from the Tamar and Leviathan fields into Egypt, and represents a
major milestone toward Egypt’s goal of becoming a regional energy
hub. This acquisition, combined with our recently announced
Dolphinus gas sales contracts offtake increases, provides further
confidence in both the long-term export market and growing cash
flows from our Eastern Mediterranean assets.”

Noble Energy’s (USA) Third Quarter 2019 Demonstrates Continued
Execution and Improvement in Capital Efficiency
• The Company reported third quarter net income attributable to Noble Energy of $17 million, or $0.04 per diluted
share. Net income including noncontrolling interest was $36 million.
• Third quarter 2019 organic capital investments attributable to Noble Energy included $355 million related to U.S.
onshore upstream activities and $17 million for midstream activities funded by the Company.
• Noble Energy also invested $129 million in the Eastern Mediterranean, primarily for continued development of the
Leviathan project, and $47 million in West Africa, primarily for the drilling and completion of the Aseng 6P well.
Included in Additions to Equity Method Investments is the Company's $185 million investment to purchase interest in
the EMG Pipeline.
• Unit production expenses for the third quarter 2019 were $8.39 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), including lease
operating expenses, production taxes, gathering, transportation, and processing expenses, and other royalty costs.
These costs were below guidance primarily as a result of workover reductions, compression optimization, and lower
fuel costs.
• Marketing and other expenses, including sales and costs of purchased oil and gas, netted to $16 million in the third
quarter, primarily reflecting mitigation of firm transportation costs.
• Income from equity method investments for the third quarter of $10 million was impacted by lower than anticipated
methanol and LPG pricing, as well as operating losses on Noble Midstream Partners LP's pipeline investments (EPIC
and Delaware Crossing) incurred prior to full service commencement.
• The Company’s effective tax rate on adjusted earnings was approximately 17%. On this basis, current tax expense
was $25 million, resulting from the income generated in West Africa and Israel. Deferred taxes were a benefit of $31
million on this same basis.
• During the quarter, the Company initiated an offering of $500 million of 3.25% notes due 2029 and $500 million of
4.20% notes due 2049. Closing of the offering occurred in October 2019 and proceeds were used to fund the
redemption of $1.0 billion of 4.15% notes due 2021. The debt transaction removed all near-term maturities of term
debt and lowered the Company’s annual interest cost by more than $4 million.
• The Company ended the third quarter 2019 with $4.0 billion in financial liquidity, including cash and available credit
facility.
Executive Commentary
Noble Energy’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “Noble Energy continued its strong execution momentum in
the third quarter, with further capital efficiency gains onshore and the accomplishment of major project
milestones offshore. In 2019, we’ve significantly lowered the capital and cost intensity of our business through
continuous improvement initiatives. This is reflected in a $200 million reduction in our 2019 capital expenditures
from original plan, which we are prioritizing for the balance sheet rather than additional growth. We have also
delivered more than a five percent reduction in our operating and G&A costs versus plan this year. As we head
into 2020, we are differentially positioned with a lower corporate decline profile, reduced maintenance capital
needs, and materially higher cash flows. We are on track to deliver sustainable long-term free cash flow and
increasing returns to investors.”

Petrobras (Brazil) acquires Buzios and Itapu fields in the Assignment
surplus auction
Petrobras informs that the consortium in which it will operate, with a 90% stake, in
partnership with the companies CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gás Ltda. and CNOOC
Petroleum Brasil Ltda., each with a 5% stake, acquired the right to exploit and
produce the volume in excess of the Assignment Agreement for the Buzios field. In
addition, Petrobras fully acquired the exploration and production rights related to
the excess volume of the Itapu field. With the results of today's auction, Petrobras
assures the maintenance of the operation in these fields, for which it had already
exercised the preemptive right, as announced to the market on May 21, 1919, and
confirms its leading position in the pre- Brazilian salt, consistent with its strategy to
focus on the exploration and production of world-class offshore assets. The Buzios
field, which began production in April 2018 and has already produced about 100
million barrels of oil and gas equivalent (boe), is the largest discovered deepwater
field in the world. It is light oil and has proven high productivity wells. The
acquisition of the right to exploit and produce the excess of the assignment of
Búzios is consistent with the strategic focus on investments in which Petrobras is
the natural owner. The knowledge acquired over about 10 years in the area and its
great potential, combined with the conditions of acquisition of the asset, with
signing bonus of R $ 68.194 billion, compatible with the value of the field, and oil
profit of 23.24 %, at the minimum level, increase the attractiveness of Buzios to the
consortium led by Petrobras.
Executive Commentary
“We are building the future for Petrobras. The Buzios field is undoubtedly a
world class asset. It is the largest offshore oil field in the world, with substantial
reserves, low extraction costs, low equilibrium prices, which means it has a high
return on capital employed, ”said Petrobras President Roberto Castello Branco.

$8.5 billion, a 3% sequential increase while pretax segment operating income of
$1.1 billion rose 13%. I am pleased with the results and proud of the team’s
performance. Sustained international activity drove overall growth despite
mixed results in North America. The North America business saw strong

pricing weakness. Third-quarter EPS of $0.43, excluding charges, was 23%
higher than the second quarter.

Suncor Energy (Canada) increases its participation in Enerkem,
strengthening their existing relationship
Enerkem Inc., a world-leading waste-to-biofuels and
chemicals producer, announced the closing of a $50 million
equity investment from Suncor. As Canada's leading
integrated energy company, Suncor first participated in the
ownership of Enerkem in April 2019 as part of a $76.3
million equity financing alongside Enerkem's existing
shareholders. With this new investment, Suncor becomes a
significant, strategic shareholder of Enerkem. In addition to
its equity interest, Suncor also provides technical resources
to support the operations of the Enerkem Alberta Biofuels
(EAB) plant located in Edmonton, Alta. EAB is the first
commercial-scale plant in the world to turn non-recyclable,
non-compostable mixed municipal solid waste into cellulosic
ethanol, a popular biofuel.
Executive Commentary
“Through this additional investment, the confidence
Suncor is showing us sends a clear signal that they
strongly support and believe in the Enerkem technology,
confirming our leadership in the advanced biofuels
market,” said Chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, Enerkem. “We are pleased to partner with a
leading Canadian player in the energy industry and to
benefit not only from their financial support but also from
their profound operational, technical and engineering
expertise.”
