Business/Energy Editors

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2002

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) is one of the world’s largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, with 2.37 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) of proved reserves and a production of 190 million BOE in 2004. Ranked No.  (NYSE NYSE

) for the second quarter of 2002, with cash flow of $2.15 per share (diluted). For the full year, Anadarko expects to earn about $3.20 per share (diluted), with cash flow of more than $8.45 per share (diluted). In the first quarter of 2002, Anadarko had 34 cents per share (diluted) of net income and $1.51 per share (diluted) of cash flow. The company's earnings guidance is largely based on key assumptions related to commodity prices and volumes as discussed below.

Price Assumptions -- Anadarko's estimates assume average NYMEX See New York Mercantile Exchange.

 oil prices of $26 for the second quarter and $24.75 for the year and NYMEX natural gas prices of $3.35 for the second quarter and $3.30 for the year. For its estimates, Anadarko used NYMEX prices, plus or minus an expected price "differential" for each of the company's major producing areas, and any adjustment from hedge positions; actual price data is shown on the attached financial table.

Volume Assumptions -- Oil and gas sales volumes are expected to total 49 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE MMBOE Million Barrels of Oil Equivalent (energy and petroleum industry) ) in the second quarter, down 2 percent from the 50 MMBOE in the first quarter and down 6 percent from the 52 MMBOE in the second quarter of 2001. Full-year 2002 sales volumes are expected to total 199 MMBOE, flat compared with 2001 sales volumes. However, in line with Anadarko's stated expectations, crude oil will account for a larger portion of total volumes. For the full year, crude oil volumes are expected to be 76 million barrels, up 12 percent from 2001. Total company natural gas volumes are expected to be 642 billion cubic feet (Bcf), down almost 8 percent from 695 Bcf in 2001. Anadarko's U.S. natural gas volumes are expected to be 509 Bcf in 2002, compared with 573 Bcf in 2001, a decrease of 11 percent from last year.

The attached financial tables detail other key assumptions behind Anadarko's estimates.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is one of the largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies in the world. Anadarko reported average daily production of 553,000 barrels of oil equivalent in the first quarter of 2002. U.S. operations are in Texas, Louisiana Louisiana (ləwē'zēăn`ə, lē'–), state in the S central United States.
