Infrastructure difficult to duplicate
Given the current oil price environment, we will focus on investment to achieve four core goals:
Accelerate geoscience, characterization and modeling programs to enhance recovery, productivity and field economic returns
Minimize base decline and set up major growth programs in both Resources and EOR segments
Focus efforts on game changing technologies and applications
Accelerate continued improvements in execution and cost
9
2016 Permian Strategy
• 2016 activity focused on core locations with minimal infrastructure investments
• Analyze appraisal data to support future development and initiate seed projects for long term growth in EOR
• Reduce rig count in Permian to 2-4 rigs
• Technical staff and engineers will focus on long-term projects, enhancing base production, and preparing full field development plans for to ramp up activity when oil prices recover.

• 1.0 million net acres
• Shift more capital to longer-cycle EOR to take advantage of lower cost of materials and services
• Inventory includes projects that have F&D costs of $3-$12/BOE
• Incremental production will come on line in 6-18 months after the start of CO2 injection
• Debottlenecking and bolt-on equipment to existing infrastructure will increase CO2injection capacity by 25% over the next 5 years

Permian EOR Cost Structure
• 1.5 million net acre position
• Shorter cycle – faster growth
• Significant improvements in capital execution efficiency and reduction in operating expenses
• Will run 2-4 drilling rigs in development areas– Maintain momentum with
efficiency improvements– Continue to optimize ultimate
recoveries• Integrate seismic with data
analytics from producing wells to further evaluate inventory
Permian Resources Summary

2016 Focus Areas
• Total of ~8,500 locations in horizontal inventory
• ~3,400 total locations economic at less than $60 / barrel which is an increase of approximately 700 locations from previous version
• ~350 locations economic below $40 / barrel
Continuing to lower economic hurdle points through reservoir characterization and optimization, improved productivity, reduced well costs, and faster time to market

2016 Capital Budget($ in bln)
• Carefully reduce activity levels without harming the strong progress on growth prospects
• Fund only those opportunities that exceed hurdle rates of return
• 2016 plan approximates expected cash from operations at around current prices
• Majority of the program will be allocated to the Permian Basin and to completing long-term projects in Chemicals and Midstream
• In Permian Resources, drilling activity focused in the Midland and Delaware near existing infrastructure, to achieve higher returns
• In Permian EOR, a modest increase for building out facilities and systems to handle and inject greater quantities of CO2, with 1-2 year production response time
2016 Capital Outlook
• Multiple long-term investments to drive cash flow and earnings growth
– Al Hosn
– Ethylene cracker JV
– Ingleside terminal
– Gas processing
• Capital spending will continue to decline and cash flows and earnings expected to grow as projects start-up.
• Increased flexibility on capital budget in 2016 and 2017

Improved Cost Structure
• Expect continued improvement in cost structure
– Strategic Initiatives
– Lower workovers
– Lower downhole maintenance
– Lower energy costs
• A key to long term success is to take advantage of this downturn to improve our future:– Major cost structure changes
– Further advances in improved recovery
– Investment in people
– Portfolio expansion
• Diverse portfolio– Two businesses in one of the best basins in the world
– Long life, low decline, value adding, cash flow generating assets
– Flexibility to ramp up or down depending on market conditions
