PanCanadian's net income doubles for the second quarter of 2001.

CALGARY, July 16 /PRNewswire/

- PanCanadian Petroleum Limited announced today net income doubled to $432 million, or $1.69 per share, during the second quarter of 2001 compared to $213 million, or $0.84 per share, recorded during the same period in 2000. Cash flow increased 32 per cent to $678 million, or $2.65 per share, compared to $514 million, or $2.04 per share last year. A substantial increase in natural gas production during the quarter and strong realized prices for natural gas compared to the previous year led to this excellent financial performance.

"PanCanadian had an outstanding second quarter. Earnings and cash flow continue to be very strong, with earnings over the past twelve months now exceeding $1.5 billion, and we announced a very significant discovery in the Central North Sea. Furthering this momentum, we have resumed exploration drilling off the East Coast of Canada," said David Tuer, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our exceptional portfolio of opportunities and our track record of growing production profitably will position us well as we become a fully independent, publicly traded company publicly traded company

A company whose shares of common stock are held by the public and are available for purchase by investors. The shares of publicly traded firms are bought and sold on the organized exchanges or in the over-the-counter market.
 later in the year."

During the second quarter of 2001, natural gas production increased 17 per cent to average 1,056 million cubic feet per day, up from 899 million cubic feet per day for the same period in 2000. Production of crude oil and natural gas liquids declined eight per cent to average 111,680 barrels per day Barrels per day (abbreviated BPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd or b/d) is a measurement used to describe the amount of crude oil (measured in barrels) produced or consumed by an entity in one day.  from 121,930 barrels per day for the same period in 2000. The decline in oil production reflects the disposition of certain oil properties during the second half of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001.

PanCanadian realized a second quarter average natural gas price of $6.77 per thousand cubic feet, an increase of 74 per cent over the average price of $3.90 per thousand cubic feet received in the same period of 2000. Realized crude oil prices averaged $28.60 per barrel in the second quarter, down 11 per cent from $31.97 per barrel for the same period last year due to wider differentials.

For the first half of 2001, net income more than doubled to $927 million, or $3.62 per share, compared to $398 million, or $1.57 per share, recorded for the same period in 2000. Cash flow was up to $1,550 million, or $6.07 per share, for the six months ended 2001 compared to $975 million, or $3.87 per share, recorded in 2000.

Consolidated capital spending capital spending

Spending for long-term assets such as factories, equipment, machinery, and buildings that permits the production of more goods and services in future years.
 for the first half of 2001 totalled $831 million, and 1,212 wells were drilled at a success rate of 94 per cent. Net debt at June 30, 2001 was $178 million, down from $1.1 billion at year-end 2000.

The results of commodity and currency hedges contributed $29 million in the quarter, primarily from the forward sale of 450 million cubic feet per day of natural gas at an equivalent AECO AECO Aeromedical Evacuation Control Officer
AECO Advance Engineering Change Order
AECO Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Owner-operated
 price of $8.57 per thousand cubic feet.

PanCanadian recorded $153 million in Canadian cash taxes for the first half of 2001 compared to $2 million recorded in the same period last year. The Company expects to continue to incur significant amounts of Canadian cash taxes in 2001 due to the substantial increase in operating income Operating Income

 during the past quarter, PanCanadian anticipates that prices for both commodities will continue to be strong throughout 2001 relative to historical average prices. The Company believes the long-term outlook for natural gas prices remains robust given the tight demand/supply fundamentals across North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . The Company has hedged a significant portion of its natural gas production until the end of October 2001. As at June 30, 2001, the following hedges are in place:

Discovery in the Central U.K. North Sea

PanCanadian announced a very significant crude oil discovery in the U.K. Central North Sea on June 6, 2001. During testing, the "Buzzard buzzard, common name for hawks of the genus Buteo and the genus Pernis, or honey buzzard, of the Old World family Accipitridae. Honey buzzards feed on insects, wasp and bumblebee larvae, and small reptiles.

PanCanadian is planning a two or three well appraisal program commencing in the early fall of this year to establish additional potential of the "Buzzard" field. PanCanadian holds a 45.01 per cent interest in this discovery.

Exploration block acquired in Brazil

PanCanadian was awarded an additional exploration and production license during Brazil's Round 3 auction in early June. PanCanadian acquired a 100 per cent interest in BM-PAMA-2, a deep-water block covering 570,000 acres off Brazil's Northeast coast. The block is adjacent to the BM-PAMA-1 block, in which PanCanadian holds a 50 per cent interest.

PanCanadian has taken several steps towards developing its Deep Panuke natural gas field. The Company has begun the engineering design work, and has appointed a Project General Manager with extensive experience and knowledge in offshore engineering, construction and project management. The contract for the front-end engineering design study for the project has been awarded, and the Development Plan Application, to be filed during the fourth quarter of 2001, is being prepared. Production from the field is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2005.

The Company has signed a firm service agreement with Halifax-based Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (M&NP) to transport up to 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day for 10 years. Natural gas will be piped from the offshore development to shore to connect to M&NP's mainline mainline Drug slang verb To inject a drug  at Goldboro, Nova Scotia.

Western Basin:

Causeway acquisition extends land holdings across Montana and

Saskatchewan

PanCanadian announced on June 15, 2001, that it had entered into an arrangement agreement to purchase the shares of Causeway Energy Corporation, pursuant to a plan of arrangement, for $65 million plus the assumption of $4 million of Causeway debt. Certain Alberta assets are excluded from the acquisition. The acquisition is subject to the approval of Causeway's shareholders.

The acquisition adds nominal volumes of natural gas production and reserves estimated to be 80 billion cubic feet of gas on a proven and one-half probable basis. The principal assets acquired are approximately 210,000 net acres of undeveloped land in Montana and southern Saskatchewan and a 100 per cent interest in the cross-border Chinook Chinook, indigenous people of North America

Starting in late 2002, Enbridge will transport blended bitumen produced from the first phase of the thermal project. The arrangement secures reliable and cost-effective transportation, and has the flexibility to meet future transportation needs. Approximately 10,000 barrels per day of bitumen is expected to be produced during the first phase of the project.

The well is expected to drill to an estimated depth of 25,000 feet, and will test the western extent of the reservoir. Drilling is expected to be complete early in the fourth quarter of 2001. PanCanadian's interest increased to 22.5 per cent when Enterprise Oil assumed operatorship of the Llano field in May 2001. Llano was discovered in 1997, and two appraisal wells drilled in 1999 and 2000 confirmed the presence of high quality hydrocarbon bearing sands.

SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six months ended June 30, 2001

(unaudited)

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PanCanadian Petroleum Limited and its subsidiaries, and are presented in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting
. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, except as described below. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included with the annual consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Note 1. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net income attributable per common share

In 2001, the Company retroactively ret·ro·ac·tive  
adj.
Influencing or applying to a period prior to enactment: a retroactive pay increase.

 Institute of Chartered Accountants earnings per share standard. The new standard relates to the computation, presentation and disclosure of earnings per share. Under the new standard, the treasury stock method is used instead of the imputed Attributed vicariously.

In the legal sense, the term imputed is used to describe an action, fact, or quality, the knowledge of which is charged to an individual based upon the actions of another for whom the individual is responsible rather than on the individual's
 earnings method to determine the dilutive effect Dilutive effect

Result of a transaction that decreases earnings per common share (EPS).
 of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under the treasury stock method, only "in the money" dilutive instruments effect the diluted calculations.

In computing the diluted net income attributable per common share, 5.5 million shares were added to the weighted average number of common shares during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 (2000 - 6.2 million shares) and 5.4 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2001 (2000 - 5.6 million) for the dilutive effect of employee stock options and preferred securities. The distributions on preferred securities were added back to net income attributable to common shareholders in computing diluted per share amounts.

Prior period diluted net income attributable per common share has been restated for this change. If the imputed earnings method had been used to calculate these amounts, there would not be a material dilutive effect on net income attributable per common share.

Risk management

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted mark-to-market accounting for all the Company's financial and physical positions in the Marketing and Midstream business segment. This change in accounting policy was applied prospectively and the effect on earnings in the first six months is immaterial Not essential or necessary; not important or pertinent; not decisive; of no substantial consequence; without weight; of no material significance.


immaterial adj.
. The change is also immaterial to prior period earnings. The comparative period has not been restated for the change.

Note 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the second quarter of 2001, the Company accrued a $50 million provision relating to a previously contracted purchase price adjustment in respect of $200 million of capital losses acquired from Canadian Pacific Limited (the majority shareholder of the Company) in 1997. The purchase price adjustment is contingent on certain economic events, which are now viewed as likely. The $50 million provision has been recorded as a charge to retained income.
