“During 2010 Marathon continued to deliver significant value by fully integrating the expanded Garyville refinery, increasing the Company’s oil sands mining capacity and adding considerably to the Company’s Upstream portfolio, including expansion of our liquids-rich U.S. resource acreage by more than 60 percent and our entry into the Iraqi Kurdistan Region,” said Clarence P. Cazalot Jr., Marathon’s president and CEO. “With significant investment in these and other major projects over the past few years, and our focus on oil production and reserves, we have a solid foundation that will benefit from improving global economic conditions and, in particular, from wider crude differentials, stronger commodity prices and higher overall demand for our products. Along with our solid financial position, we are well positioned to further increase shareholder value with the delivery of two strong independent energy companies through the spin-off of our Downstream operations into Marathon Petroleum Corporation, which we anticipate will be effective June 30, 2011.”

Exploration and Production
The E&P segment income totaled $496 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $439 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily the result of higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas price realizations, partially offset by increases in depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) and exploration costs. For full-year 2010, E&P segment income was $1.940 billion, compared to $1.221 billion for 2009. This increase was primarily the result of higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas price realizations, partially offset by higher exploration, DD&A and operating costs. Results for 2010 included a pre-tax gain on derivative instruments of $95 million, compared to a pre-tax gain of $60 million for full-year 2009. The majority of derivative contracts for E&P expired by year-end 2010.

E&P sales volumes during the fourth quarter averaged 417,000 boepd, compared to 413,000 boepd for the same period in 2009. For full-year 2010, sales volumes averaged 391,000 boepd, a 2 percent decrease from the 2009 average of 400,000 boepd from continuing operations. The lower sales volumes in 2010 were primarily the result of planned downtime associated with the turnaround of production facilities in Equatorial Guinea completed in the second quarter, natural field declines and asset dispositions.

Production available for sale averaged 420,000 boepd for the fourth quarter of 2010 and 391,000 boepd for the full year, compared to 403,000 boepd and 405,000 boepd, respectively, for the same periods in 2009. The increase for the fourth quarter was primarily due to a full quarter of production from Droshky in the Gulf of Mexico that commenced in July 2010. The decrease for the full year was the result of the planned turnaround in Equatorial Guinea, natural field declines and asset dispositions.The difference between production volumes available for sale and recorded sales volumes was due to the timing of liftings.

Marathon estimates 2011 E&P production available for sale will be essentially flat with 2010 volumes, with a range between 380,000 and 400,000 boepd, excluding the effect of any future acquisitions or dispositions. Production increases in the Company’s U.S. conventional portfolio are expected to offset field declines elsewhere, largely in the North Sea.

United States E&P reported income of $17 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $116 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. While sales volumes and liquid hydrocarbon realizations rose in the most-recent quarter, DD&A expense also increased $236 million, primarily as a result of Droshky production. For full-year 2010, U.S. E&P income was $250 million, compared to $55 million for the prior year. The increase was a result of higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas realizations, along with higher liquid hydrocarbon sales volumes, partially offset by higher DD&A and higher exploration and operating costs.

International E&P income was $479 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $323 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase reflects the impact of higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas realizations, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The Company was overlifted by 11,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and underlifted by 6,000 bpd in fourth quarter of 2010, resulting in lower liquid hydrocarbon sales in the most-recent quarter compared to 2009. Exploration expenses increased $72 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of the dry hole for the Bravo-1 well in Indonesia in the fourth quarter of 2010. International E&P income for full-year 2010 was $1.690 billion, compared to $1.166 billion in 2009. This increase was primarily related to higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas realizations, partially offset by higher exploration expenses and income taxes.

Exploration expenses were $216 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $498 million for the entire year, compared to $126 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $307 million for full-year 2009. The full-year increase was the result of dry holes in Indonesia and the Gulf of Mexico.

During the fourth quarter, Marathon completed an agreement for entry into the Eagle Ford Shale in Wilson and Atascosa counties, Texas. Under terms of the agreement, Marathon will pay $10 million and drill and complete four wells to earn approximately 17,000 acres. Marathon has the option to purchase an additional 58,000 net acres in the two counties. If Marathon executes this option, the full 75,000 net acres, including the initial payment, carried well interest and lease extensions, will cost approximately $2,800 per acre.

During the fourth quarter, Marathon increased its holdings within the Niobrara play in the DJ Basin of southeast Wyoming and northern Colorado by approximately 57,000 net acres for a total of approximately 172,000 net acres at year-end 2010. Also in the quarter, the Company increased its holdings in Oklahoma’s Anadarko Woodford Shale by approximately 13,000 net acres for a total of approximately 86,000 net acres at the end of 2010, with pending acreage contracts expected to increase Marathon’s Anadarko Woodford position to more than 100,000 net acres. The growth in both areas reflects the Company’s strategy to target unconventional, liquids-rich resource plays.

Throughout 2010, Marathon continued to add acreage to its Bakken position, ending the year at approximately 391,000 acres, a net increase of 40,000 from year-end 2009. This reflects not only an increase in net acreage but also a high-grading of the Company’s portfolio as lower-value acreage was farmed out, sold or relinquished.

Also during the quarter, Marathon’s Alvheim floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the Norwegian North Sea achieved the milestone of 100 million barrels of gross production. The vessel has current average gross production of approximately 140,000 boepd. The development includes Alvheim, Vilje and Volund; Marathon has 65 percent operated interests in Alvheim and Volund and a 47 percent outside-operated interest in Vilje.

Oil Sands Mining
The Oil Sands Mining (OSM) segment reported income of $9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to income of $41 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of increased costs associated with the start-up of Jackpine Mine operations that commenced in September 2010. For full-year 2010, OSM reported a loss of $50 million compared to income of $44 million for full-year 2009. Lower results for 2010 were largely the result of costs associated with the planned turnaround at the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP), performed primarily in the second quarter, and costs related to the Jackpine Mine start-up. Results for 2010 included pre-tax losses on crude oil derivative instruments of $9 million for the fourth quarter and pre-tax gains of $25 million for the full year, compared to pre-tax gains of $3 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and $14 million for full-year 2009. As of Dec. 31, 2010, there were no outstanding OSM derivative contracts.

Marathon’s fourth quarter 2010 net synthetic crude production (upgraded bitumen excluding blendstocks) was 34,000 bpd, compared to 29,000 bpd for the same period in 2009. Full-year production was 24,000 bpd, compared to 27,000 bpd for 2009. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2010 was primarily the result of the Jackpine start-up, while the full-year decrease was largely due to the planned AOSP turnaround.

Marathon expects first quarter net synthetic crude production will be between 28,000 and 34,000 bpd, with anticipated full-year 2011 net synthetic crude production estimated to be between 36,000 and 45,000 bpd.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, Jackpine Mine began supplying oil sands ore to the base plant processing facility and, at full capacity, will add 100,000 gross bpd to the existing Muskeg River Mine capacity of 155,000 bpd. The expanded upgrader operations began the commissioning and start-up phase as scheduled late in the fourth quarter and will continue through the first quarter of 2011. Marathon holds a 20 percent working interest in the AOSP.
 
Reserves
During 2010, Marathon added 134 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) for the E&P segment, excluding dispositions of 3 million boe, while producing 141 million boe, resulting in an E&P reserve replacement ratio of 95 percent. The net additions were primarily in Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Norway and the Bakken Shale play in the U.S. Consistent with the Company’s liquids-focused strategy, a total of 97 million barrels were added to net proved liquid hydrocarbon reserves, including acquisitions of 1 million barrels, while producing 89 million barrels, resulting in a liquids reserve replacement ratio of 109 percent.

For the OSM segment, Marathon synthetic crude oil reserves decreased 22 million barrels, primarily because of increased royalties.

Marathon’s overall reserve replacement ratio including E&P and OSM was 75 percent, with added net proved reserves of 112 million boe, excluding dispositions of 3 million boe, while producing 150 million boe.

For the three-year period ended Dec. 31, 2010, Marathon added net proved reserves of 896 million boe, excluding dispositions of 47 million boe, while producing 436 million boe, resulting in an average reserve replacement ratio of 205 percent.
 
Integrated Gas
Integrated Gas segment income was $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $142 million for the full year, compared to $37 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $90 million for full-year 2009. Marathon’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Equatorial Guinea had operational availability above 99.5 percent for the fourth quarter. For full-year 2010, excluding the planned turnaround in the second quarter, operational availability was slightly above 99 percent.

Refining, Marketing and Transportation
The Refining, Marketing and Transportation (RM&T) segment reported income of $213 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $682 million for all of 2010, compared to a loss of $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and income of $464 million for full-year 2009. The refining and wholesale marketing gross margin per gallon was 8.99 cents in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 0.62 cents in the fourth quarter of 2009, and 7.06 cents per gallon for full-year 2010 compared to 6.10 cents for all of 2009.

Primary factors contributing to the increased segment income for the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 include a wider sweet/sour crude differential and increased sales volumes primarily resulting from the Garyville refinery expansion.

As shown in the chart below, total refinery throughputs increased over the fourth quarter of 2009 and full-year 2009, primarily as a result of the Garyville expansion, partially offset by the reduction caused by the sale of the St. Paul Park refinery effective Dec. 1, 2010.

In December, the Company closed the previously announced transaction with ACON Investments LLC and TPG Capital for the sale of most of Marathon’s Minnesota downstream assets for a total sales value of approximately $935 million. Recognition of the financial gain associated with the sale is deferred to future periods.

Special Items
In December, Marathon announced the signing of a sales agreement with Statoil Petroleum for all of Marathon’s interests in the Gudrun and Brynhild exploration areas (production licenses PL 025, PL 048E and PL 187) on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The transaction value is $85 million with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2011. The companies expect to complete the transaction in the first quarter of 2011, subject to Norwegian government approval. Based on terms of the agreement, Marathon recorded an after-tax loss of $42 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Marathon also recorded an after-tax settlement charge of $32 million in connection with the Company’s qualified pension plans during the fourth quarter of 2010.

# # #

In addition to net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Marathon has provided supplementally “net income adjusted for special items,” a non-GAAP financial measure which facilitates comparisons to earnings forecasts prepared by stock analysts and other third parties.  Such forecasts generally exclude the effects of items that are considered non-recurring, are difficult to predict or to measure in advance or that are not directly related to Marathon's ongoing operations. A reconciliation between GAAP net income and “net income adjusted for special items” is provided in a table on page 1 of this release.  “Net income adjusted for special items” should not be considered a substitute for net income as reported in accordance with GAAP.  Management, as well as certain investors, uses “net income adjusted for special items” to evaluate Marathon's financial performance between periods. Management also uses “net income adjusted for special items” to compare Marathon's performance to certain competitors.

This release contains forward-looking statements with respect to the timing and levels of the Company’s worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production, synthetic crude production, anticipated future exploratory and development drilling activity, the potential sale of Marathon's interests in production licenses PL 025, PL 048E and PL 187 on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the possibility of a significant new resource base, expectations of additional growth, the AOSP expansion, the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrading Project, proved reserves and the possible spin-off of Marathon Petroleum Corporation. Factors that could potentially affect the timing and levels of the Company’s worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production, synthetic crude production, anticipated future exploratory and development drilling activity, the possibility of a significant new resource base and expectations of additional growth, include pricing, supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products, the amount of capital available for exploration and development, regulatory constraints, timing of commencing production from new wells, drilling rig availability, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto, and other geological, operating and economic considerations. Factors that could affect the AOSP expansion and the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrading Project include transportation logistics, availability of materials and labor, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, delays in obtaining or conditions imposed by necessary government and third-party approvals, and other risks customarily associated with construction projects. Some factors that could potentially affect the sale of Marathon’s interests in PL 025, PL 048E and PL 187 on the Norwegian Continental Shelf include Norwegian governmental approval and customary closing conditions.  The forward-looking statements related to proved reserves are based on certain assumptions including, among others, presently known physical data concerning size and character of reservoirs, economic recoverability, technology development, future drilling success, production experience, industry economic conditions, levels of cash flow from operations and operating conditions. Some factors that could affect the possible spin-off of Marathon Petroleum Corporation include board approval, receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS, a registration statement declared effective by the SEC and completion of financing. The foregoing factors (among others) could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Marathon Oil Corporation has included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K, cautionary language identifying other important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
