  8. Slide 8: Capital Allocation Philosophy

    8 New projects must meet expectations for good returns Return Targets* Domestic – 15+% International – 20+% Compare new projects and asset acquisitions with share repurchases Pursue only those opportunities which meet our standards for ROCE and complement our existing assets Make decisions based on

  9. Slide 9: Capital Spending Program

    9 2008 capital program was about $4.7 billion, and we spent another $4.7 billion for acquisitions. As a result, we have accumulated a sizeable inventory of projects which can be delayed until the industry cost structure is in line with product prices. Service company cost structure is more reflectiv

  10. Slide 10: Capital Spending Program

    10 Gas drilling with less than $5 per mcf gas is unattractive. We will continue to fully fund much of our Middle East operations, successful exploration programs in California, Utah, and exploration in Argentina. Formerly "quick payout" wells in the Permian and California will be deferred until they

  11. Slide 11: Capital Spending Program

    11 We are renegotiating our supplier contracts to further reduce costs and are laying down rigs, including paying cancellation costs when that makes sense. We expect these efforts to result in a reduction in the cost of executing our capital programs, as well as, a reduction of our operating expense
