Exploration
ExxonMobil has been an active player on the Norwegian exploration scene since 1965, when Esso Norge AS was awarded the first three exploration licenses on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). ExxonMobil is actively exploring blocks in more frontier areas and around existing infrastructure in the North Sea and Haltenbanken. The company has, both as an operator and as a partner in OBO (Operated By Others) projects, made many oil and gas discoveries. The success is due to the application of state-of-the-art exploration technologies, a highly qualified and trained local staff, and access to ExxonMobils technical expertise on a global scale. Out of as many as 25 discoveries made on the Norwegian continental shelf in 2008, ExxonMobil has interest in around one third. Two of the most important discoveries were made at the Dagny and Njord fields. NPD has estimated the size of these two discoveries at respectively 120160 million and 3048 million barrels of oil equivalent. Common for all the new discoveries is their location near existing infrastructure. Early 2009, the company was awarded interest in two new licences in the 2008 APA Licensing Round. In May 2009, ExxonMobil was awarded operatorship and 50% interest in PL520 in the Norwegian Sea in the 20th Licensing Round. ExxonMobil will pursue evaluation of available areas in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea. We will continue the emphasis on co-existence with all industries through flawless implementation of our exploration programs, with zero harmful impact on the environment. The companys performance on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to date, coupled with its worldwide experience with environmentally sensitive areas, operating procedures and advanced technology, ensures that co-existence will continue into the future.
Technology
The organization in Norway draws on ExxonMobils technology, research efforts and experience gained worldwide. Examples are the use of 4-D seismic to plan new wells, the EM-Power a highly advanced reservoir modeling tool used for extended reach, and horizontal wells for increased recovery from Balder, Jotun and Ringhorne fields, etc. Norways research institutions are world leaders in certain fields. The parent company, ExxonMobil in the US, used amongst others Marintek, Trondheim, in developing new technology for LNG ships. In 2008 our company participated in OG21 (Oil and Gas in the 21st Century), which is a major R & D initiative started by Norwegian authorities to develop new technology and new systems in support of continued production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. In this program ExxonMobil has a leading role within cost efficient drilling. One of the projects that ExxonMobil supports entails the development of a new drilling tool named Badger Explorer a robot that does not need to be connected to a rig. Badger Explorer will be able to drill into the reservoirs while simultaneously transmitting seismic information to the surface. Several small holes have been drilled by a Badger prototype. Drilling of onshore testholes was carried out in Denmark in 2008, while there will be further testing of the prototype through an onshore drilling programme in Norway in 2009.
ExxonMobil in Norway can draw on the companys research and development within a wide number of areas i.a. within reservoir modeling.
Badger Explorer is a new drilling tool under development which is designed to perform drilling operations without the need to be connected to a drilling rig.
Production
ExxonMobils operated assets in the UK and Norway are operated by one unit, North Sea Production (NSP), which operates from two locations, Stavanger and Aberdeen. NSP is responsible for operation of the Ringhorne, Balder, Jotun, and Sigyn fields in Norway, and the Beryl Area and the Sage Gas Plant in the UK.
Ringhorne
The Ringhorne field is located about 9 km north of the Balder FPSO and includes a platform with initial processing and water injection capabilities. Production is routed to the Balder and Jotun installations for final processing, storage and offloading. Production commenced in February 2003. Also in 2003, two new discoveries were made in the Ringhorne area. Ringhorne West commenced production in April 2004, within a year of discovery, while Ringhorne East started to produce in March 2006. In 2008, the Ringhorne field produced an average of 88,300 barrels of oil per day. 4-D seismic will be collected in the Balder/Ringhorne area in 2009 in preparation of the next drilling campaign in these fields. ExxonMobil is the operator and has 100% ownership in the Ringhorne fields, except for Ringhorne East where ExxonMobils equity is 77.4%. The other Ringhorne East participants are StatoilHydro (14.8%) and Petoro (7.8%).
Sigyn
The Sigyn field, which is located in the Sleipner area in the North Sea, started producing in 2002. The field consists of two gas/condensate producers and one oil producer that are connected to the Sleipner A platform via a subsea template. In 2008, the average production on Sigyn was 56 million standard cubic feet of gas per day and 18,000 barrels of condensate per day. ExxonMobil is the operator with 40% ownership. The other participant is StatoilHydro (60%).
Balder
The Balder field consists of a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel (FPSO) and several subsea production systems. It is located in the North Sea approximately 190 km northwest of Stavanger. In early 2003, the Ringhorne platform was tied back to the Balder FPSO for processing and export. In October 2003, Balder started gas export to Statpipe via the Jotun FPSO. Numerous upgrades to the Balder FPSO process and compression systems have been carried out during the last few years, resulting in significantly improved reliability. In 2008, the Balder FPSO processed 74,400 barrels of oil per day, 21,200 from the Balder field and 53,200 from Ringhorne. ExxonMobil is the operator and has 100% ownership in the Balder field.

Production OBO Fields Operated By Others
In 2008, ExxonMobils production from OBO fields was around 314,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day. In total, the company has ownership interests in more than 20 producing fields on the Norwegian continental shelf, and furthermore the company participates in several, major development projects (including Statfjord Late Life, and Tyrihans). ExxonMobil participated in 10 exploration wells in 2008, out of which 8 wells yielded discoveries including a promising result for Dagny.

Environmental performance
The refinery had three discharges of oil to the ground in 2008 which were immediately reported to the authorities. The environmental impact of these discharges is considered small since all the oil was collected or the affected soil was removed. All other discharges to water and air were within the limits determined by the State Pollution Agency (SFT). The yearly report on the environment and social responsibility gives details on emissions and the environmental work at the refinery.
If you wish to get more information about environmentally related activities in Norway, go to our website www.exxonmobil.no. You may also call the Slagen refinery and ask for the report Milj og Samfunnsansvar statusrapport for ExxonMobil raffineriet p Slagentangen 2008/2009. The report includes discharge figures for 2008 and more information on some of the plans for cutting emissions at the refinery.
