  2. Preface General – The following slides are being provided as part of Unocal’s conference presentation.  These slides are not intended to be complete discussions of the matters referenced therein and should be viewed in the context of Unocal’s presentation and Unocal’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-Ks filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Unocal’s most recent quarterly earnings release and other press releases, all of which are located at www.unocal.com. Forward-Looking Statements – This presentation, including the following slides, contains forward-looking statements about matters such as Unocal’s assessment of hydrocarbon formations and potential resources; drilling and development plans and operations; other objectives and plans for future operations; project start-up dates; production rates, timing and growth; cash flows and capital expenditures; and negotiations, sales and transactions with third parties.  Although these statements are based upon Unocal’s current expectations and beliefs, they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, including volatility in commodity prices and the effectiveness of Unocal’s hedging program;  Unocal’s ability to find or acquire commercially productive oil and gas reservoirs and to develop and produce deepwater fields and other complex projects in a timely and cost-effective manner; local demand, infrastructure and the distance to markets for Unocal’s hydrocarbon production; the accuracy of Unocal’s estimates and judgments regarding hydrocarbon resources and formations; decline rates of producing properties; adverse geological and other operational factors; the extent of Unocal’s operating cash flow and other capital resources available to fund its capital expenditures; international and domestic regulatory, political, and economic factors; other risks associated with Unocal’s substantial international operations;  negotiations with, and performance by, foreign government entities, joint venture partners, independent contractors, equipment suppliers, operators of properties in which Unocal has an interest and other third parties; competition within Unocal’s highly competitive industry; and other factors discussed in Unocal’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and subsequent reports filed by Unocal with the SEC (SEC File No. 1-8483).  Copies of Unocal’s SEC filings are available from Unocal by calling 800-252-2233 or from the SEC by calling 800-SEC-0330. The reports are also available on the Unocal web site.  Unocal undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this presentation, including the following slides, to reflect future events or circumstances. All such statements are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

  3. Estimated Resource Potential Disclosures – The SEC has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions.  Unocal uses the terms “resource potential” and “recovery potential” and provides other similar estimates of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC’s guidelines may prohibit Unocal from including in filings with the SEC.  These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by Unocal.  Please refer to Unocal’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for disclosures regarding Unocal’s estimates of its proved reserves as of December 31, 2003. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures – This presentation, including the following slides, includes disclosure of EBITDAX, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure" as defined under SEC regulations. EBITDAX is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset impairments, exploration expenses, dry hole costs, special items, and cumulative effects of accounting changes.  Special items represent certain significant matters that positively or negatively impact net earnings and that management determines to be not representative of Unocal’s ongoing operations. Examples include: gain/loss from major asset sales; environmental remediation costs related primarily to inactive, closed or previously owned Unocal facilities and third party sites; costs or settlements associated with major restructuring plans; litigation settlement costs primarily associated with former Unocal operations or closed/inactive facilities; significant impairments due to changes in commodity prices; material damage to Unocal facilities or operations due to fire, explosion, earthquakes, storms or other "acts of god" not covered by insurance; certain costs associated with major acquisitions including litigation and significant trading derivatives; and insurance recoveries associated with former Unocal operations or for costs incurred in prior years. Unocal’s management believes that EBITDAX is helpful to investors and analysts because it facilitates a comparison of companies like Unocal that use the "successful efforts" accounting method with other companies in the exploration and production industry that utilize the "full-cost" method of accounting.  EBITDAX is not a substitute for net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of profitability or other GAAP financial measures. Special items excluded from EBITDAX do in fact positively or negatively impact net earnings. Other companies may define special items differently. Hence, EBITDAX may not be comparable with similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.  A quantitative reconciliation of EBITDAX to GAAP net earnings is found in Unocal’s 2001-2004 Quarterly Fact Book, which is located in the investor relations section of Unocal’s web site.
