The Corporation's average worldwide crude
oil selling price in the second quarter of 2000 was approximately
$24.25 per barrel, an increase of $9.25 from the second quarter
of 1999. The Corporation's oil and gas production, on a barrel-of-oil
equivalent basis, was 362,000 barrels per day in the second quarter
of 2000, an increase of 19% over the second quarter of 1999.
Increased refining, marketing and shipping
results in the second quarter of 2000, compared with the second
quarter of 1999, reflect improved refining margins.
The net gain from asset sales in the second
quarter of 1999 represents the sale of Southeast pipeline storage
terminals and certain retail sites in South Carolina.
Sales and other operating revenues amounted
to $2,644 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared with
$1,430 million in the second quarter of 1999. The increase principally
reflects significantly higher crude oil and refined product selling
prices.
Capital expenditures in the second quarter
of 2000 were $243 million of which $194 million related to exploration
and production activities. Capital expenditures in the second
quarter of 1999 amounted to $219 million including $198 million
for exploration and production.
