1 Includes reserves acquired through property exchanges.<br />

2 Includes reserves disposed of through property exchanges.<br />

3 Included are year-end reserve quantities related to production-sharing contracts (PSC) (refer to page 24 for the defi nition of a PSC). PSC-related reserve quantities are 47 percent, 44 percent<br />

and 33 percent for consolidated companies for <strong>2006</strong>, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 100 percent for TCO for each year.<br />

4 Net reserve changes (excluding production) in <strong>2006</strong> consist of 549 billion cubic feet of developed reserves and 630 billion cubic feet of undeveloped reserves for consolidated companies<br />

and (769) billion cubic feet of developed reserves and 849 billion cubic feet of undeveloped reserves for affi liated companies.<br />

5 During 2005, the percentages of undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2004, transferred to developed reserves were 5 percent and 2 percent for consolidated companies and affi liated<br />

companies, respectively.<br />

Noteworthy amounts in the categories of proved-reserve<br />

changes for 2004 through <strong>2006</strong> in the table above are discussed<br />

below:<br />

Revisions In 2004, revisions increased reserves for consolidated<br />

companies by a net 248 billion cubic feet (BCF),<br />

composed of increases of 928 BCF internationally and<br />

decreases of 680 BCF in the United States. Internationally,<br />

about half of the 346 BCF increase in Africa related to properties<br />

in Nigeria, for which changes were associated with well<br />

performance reviews, development drilling and lease fuel calculations.<br />

The 236 BCF addition in the Asia-Pacific region<br />

was related primarily to reservoir analysis for a single field.<br />

Most of the 325 BCF in the “Other” international area was<br />

related to a new gas sales contract in Trinidad and Tobago.<br />

In the United States, the net 391 BCF downward revision in<br />

the Gulf of Mexico was related to well-performance reviews<br />

and technical analyses in several fields. Most of the net 316<br />

BCF negative revision in the “Other” U.S. area related to two<br />

coal bed methane fields in the Mid-Continent region and<br />

their associated wells’ performance. The 963 BCF increase<br />

for TCO was connected with updated analyses of reservoir<br />

performance and processing plant yields.<br />

In 2005, reserves were revised downward by 14 BCF for<br />

consolidated companies and 498 BCF for equity affi liates.<br />

For consolidated companies, negative revisions were 428 BCF<br />

in the Asia-Pacific region. Most of the decrease was attribut-<br />
