2012 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Statoil's second quarter 2012 net operating income was NOK 62.0 billion, a 2% increase compared to NOK 61.0 billion in the second quarter of 2011.

"Statoil continues to deliver good financial results and strong cash generation. We increased oil and gas production by 17% in the second quarter compared to the same period last year. Production in the second quarter was as expected and we maintain our production guidance for 2012," says Helge Lund, Statoil's president and CEO.

"We increased our gas production by 33% and we also grew liquids production by 8% consistent with our growth ambitions through start-ups, ramping up production and lower maintenance effects," says Lund.

On the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS), Statoil delivered positive production performance primarily through higher gas sales, achieving an 11% total production increase. There was limited maintenance on the NCS in the second quarter and a higher maintenance level is expected in the third quarter. Statoil increased international production by 32%, including more than doubling the production in North America compared to the second quarter last year. Statoil has announced two significant discoveries offshore Tanzania and Norway since the previous quarter, continuing the exploration success from 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. Over the past 15 months a total of eight significant discoveries have added to Statoil's resource base.

"Since the previous quarter, Statoil has made additional strategic progress, including further implementing the co-operation agreement with Rosneft, successfully completing the divestments of Statoil Fuel & Retail ASA to Alimentation Couche-Tard and NCS assets to Centrica, and sanctioning two projects on the NCS," says Lund.

Due to higher activity level and higher share of capitalised exploration, Statoil expects to invest around USD 18 billion in capital expenditures in 2012. Statoil now expects to complete around 45 wells with a total activity level at around USD 3.5 billion, excluding signature bonuses.

Net income was NOK 26.6 billion in the second quarter, down 2% from NOK 27.1 billion in the same period in 2011.

Key events since first quarter:

Continuing international growth - production increase from ramp-ups of several fields internationally.
Important industrial developments continued on the NCS - sanctioning the Svalin fast-track and Gullfaks subsea compression projects, installing the Valemon steel jacket in the North Sea and taking the first construction steps for the Aasta Hansteen field in Northern Norway.
Portfolio management to enhance value creation - closed the divestments of Statoil Fuel & Retail ASA to Couche-Tard and NCS assets to Centrica.
Strong exploration performance - two significant discoveries: The gas and condensate discovery King Lear in the North Sea is an important contribution to revitalising the NCS, while the Lavani gas discovery offshore Tanzania supports Statoil's ambition for international growth. High exploration activity with drilling in 22 wells, six discoveries and six awaiting final evaluation. Nine wells ongoing at the end of the second quarter 2012.
Early access at scale in new and promising basins - awarded 26 leases in the first lease sale in the Central Gulf of Mexico since March of 2010. Signed agreements with Rosneft on joint bidding for exploration licenses in the Norwegian Barents Sea and on joint technical evaluation covering two Russian onshore assets. Farmed into shale opportunities in Australia.

The statements below are related to developments in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011, and developments in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011, respectively.

Second quarter 2012

Total equity liquids and gas production [7] was up 17%, to 1,980 mboe per day in the second quarter, primarily due to increased gas deliveries from the NCS, start-up of production from Pazflor in Angola and Gullfaks South Brent on the NCS. Ramp-up of production on various fields, production from the newly acquired Bakken field in the USA and lower reductions from maintenance activities, added to the increase. The Heidrun redetermination settlement with a relatively high equity production in the second quarter of 2011 and expected natural decline on mature fields, counteracted the increase in equity production.

Total entitlement liquids and gas production was up 20%, to 1,786 mboe per day, impacted by the increase in equity production as described above. The average Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) effect was 194 mboe per day compared to 206 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2011. The lower PSA effect was mainly a result of different factors (e.g. tax barrels, capex uplift, cost recovery) at individual fields that resulted in increased entitlement volumes. The decrease in PSA effects was partly offset by the increase in equity production and lower profit tranches for a number of fields.

Total liquids and gas liftings were 1,778 mboe per day, a 26% increase from 1,416 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, there was an overlift of 5 mboe per day [3], compared to an underlift of 56 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2011.

Refining reference margin [2] was USD 6.1 per barrel in the second quarter, a significant increase compared to the second quarter of 2011 when the refining reference margin was USD 2.2 per barrel.

The 3% increase in production cost per boe [6] was mainly related to higher costs from fields in the production ramp-up phase during the last twelve months resulting in relatively higher cost per boe from new fields coming on stream and increased activity related to well maintenance.

Exploration expenditure (including capitalised exploration expenditure) was NOK 5.1 billion in the second quarter, compared to NOK 3.9 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The NOK 1.2 billion increase was mainly caused by higher drilling activity; 22 wells with drilling activity in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 17 wells in the same period last year. Also, more expensive wells being drilled and increased seismic and field evaluation expenditures added to the increase.

In the second quarter of 2012, a total of 13 exploration wells were completed before 30 June 2012, two on the NCS and 11 internationally. Excluding the King Lear discovery announced in July, five wells were announced as discoveries in the second quarter, one on the NCS and four internationally.

First half 2012

Total equity liquids and gas production [7] was up 14% to 2,087 mboe per day in the first half of 2012, primarily because of increased gas deliveries from the NCS, start-up of production from new fields, ramp-up of production on various fields, production from the newly acquired Bakken-field in the USA and higher maintenance activities in the first half of 2011. The Heidrun redetermination, operational challenges and expected natural decline in production on mature fields, counteracted the increase in equity production.

Total entitlement liquids and gas production was up 16% to 1,878 mboe per day in the first half of 2012, impacted by the increase in equity production as described above, and by higher PSA-effects. The average PSA-effect on entitlement production was 208 mboe per day in the first half of 2012 compared to 206 mboe per day in the first half of 2011.

Total liquids and gas liftings were 1,867 mboe per day, compared to 1,557 mboe per day in the first half of 2011. The 20% increase in lifting is based on the increase in entitlement production. In the first half of 2012, there was an overlift position of 2 mboe per day [3], compared to an underlift position of 54 mboe per day in the same period last year.

Refining reference margin [2] was USD 4.5 per barrel in the first half of 2012, compared to USD 2.4 per barrel in the first half of 2011.

Exploration expenditure (including capitalised exploration expenditure) was NOK 11.1 billion in the first half of 2012, compared to NOK 8.3 billion in the same period of 2011. The NOK 2.8 billion increase was mainly due to more expensive wells and an increased number of wells being drilled. Also increased seismic and field evaluation costs added to this increase.

In the first half of 2012 Statoil completed 25 exploration wells, nine on the NCS and 16 internationally. A total of 13 wells were announced as discoveries in the period, six on the NCS and seven internationally.

Second quarter 2012

Net operating income was NOK 62.0 billion in the second quarter, an increase of 2% compared to the second quarter last year. The 2% increase in net operating income was mainly attributable to increased volumes of liquids and gas sold and higher prices for gas. The increase was partly offset by lower prices for liquids and higher costs mainly reflecting the overall increased activity level.

Revenues increased by 17%, positively impacted by higher gas prices and increased volumes of liquids and gas sold. The increase was partly offset by lower prices for liquids.

Other income increased by 59% to NOK 13.9 billion mainly because of increased gains from sale of assets.

In the second quarter of 2012, lower value of products in operational storage (NOK 0.9 billion), impairment losses (NOK 0.7 billion) and lower fair values of derivatives (NOK 0.2 billion) and other provisions/items (NOK 0.1 billion) had a negative impact on net operating income, while gain on sale of assets mainly related to the sale of Statoil Fuel and Retail ASA and the divestment of assets on the NCS to Centrica (NOK 13.5 billion), reversal of a provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension (NOK 3.8 billion), change in over/underlift position (NOK 0.1 billion) and the effects of eliminations (NOK 0.8 billion) had a positive impact on net operating income.

In the second quarter of 2011, underlift (NOK 2.2 billion) had a negative impact on net operating income while net gain on sale of 40% of the Peregrino asset (NOK 8.8 billion), higher fair values of derivatives (NOK 6.3 billion), reversal of impairment losses (NOK 2.2 billion), other items (NOK 0.8 billion) and the effects of eliminations (NOK 1.5 billion) had a positive impact on net operating income.

Purchases [net of inventory variation], which represent Statoil's purchase of SDFI [8] and 3rd party volumes increased by 28%, mainly due to the higher volumes of oil and gas purchased, partly offset by reduced prices of liquids measured in NOK.

Operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1%, mainly due to a reversal of a provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension of NOK 3.8 billion, partly offset by increased operating plant costs related to higher activity level, increased transportation costs related to higher produced and traded gas volumes, increased well maintenance at several fields and increased royalty costs.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses were up 67%, mainly due to increased production and because new fields with higher depreciation came on stream in the latter part of 2011. Higher proved reserves and changes in abandonment estimates and reduced depreciation due to changed product mix on Troll, partly offset the increase. In addition, reversal of impairment losses of NOK 2.2 billion in the second quarter of 2011 contributed to the increase.

Exploration expenses increased by NOK 3.0 billion which was mainly attributable to higher drilling costs of which a lower portion has been capitalised because of non-commercial wells. Lower reversals of previous impaired prospects and signature bonuses and higher exploration expenditures capitalised in previous periods being expensed in this quarter added to the increase.

Net financial items amounted to a loss of NOK 2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2012, compared to a gain of NOK 0.2 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The change was mainly due to an impairment loss related to a financial investment in the second quarter of 2012, and strengthening of the USD against NOK and EUR in the second quarter of 2012 and weakening of the USD against NOK and EUR in 2011, which creates different currency effects between the quarters.

Exchange rates	30 June 2012	31 December 2011	30 June 2011
USDNOK	5.98	5.99	5.39
EURNOK	7.53	7.75	7.79

Income taxes were NOK 32.9 billion in the second quarter, equivalent to an effective tax rate of 55.3%, compared to an effective tax rate of 55.8% in the second quarter of 2011. The tax rate decreased mainly due to higher capital gains with lower than average tax rates in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. The decreased tax rate was also caused by NOK 6.0 billion lower taxable income than income before tax in the second quarter of 2012 related to currency effects in companies that are taxable in currencies other than the functional currency. The decreased tax rate was partially offset by relatively higher income from the NCS in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011. Income from the NCS is subject to a higher than average tax rate.

Net income amounted to NOK 26.6 billion in the second quarter. In addition to the impact of net operating income as described above, the 2% decrease was mainly attributable to increased net financial losses, partly offset by slightly lower effective tax rates.

First half 2012

In the first half of 2012, net operating income was NOK 119.9 billion, an increase of 7% compared to the same period last year, primarily caused by the increase in liquids and gas prices measured in NOK and increased volumes being sold because of the increase in production and liftings, but partly offset by increased exploration expenses.

Revenues increased by 25%, positively impacted by increased volumes of liquids and gas sold and higher prices measured in NOK for both liquids and gas. Lower unrealised gains on derivatives and lower gains from sale of assets partly offset the increase in revenues.

In the first half of 2012, lower fair values of derivatives (NOK 2.0 billion), lower values of products in operational storage (NOK 0.5 billion) and impairment losses (NOK 0.7 billion) negatively impacted net operating income, while gain on sale of assets (NOK 13.5 billion), reversal of a provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension (NOK 4.3 billion), change in over/underlift position (NOK 0.2 billion) and effects of eliminations (NOK 0.3 billion) had a positive impact on net operating income.

In the first half of 2011, change in over/underlift position (NOK 3.7 billion) negatively impacted net operating income, while gain on sale of assets (NOK 14.3 billion), higher fair value of derivatives (NOK 3.6 billion), reversals net of impairment losses (NOK 3.1 billion), higher values of products in operational storage (NOK 0.8 billion), other provisions/items (NOK 1.5 billion) and effects of eliminations (NOK 1.4 billion) had a positive impact on net operating income.

Purchases [net of inventory variation] increased by 34%, mainly due to the higher volumes of oil and gas purchased, and higher prices of liquids measured in NOK.

Operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 13%, mainly due to increased operating plant costs related to start-up and ramp-up of production on various fields. Also, increased royalties, higher transportation activity due to higher oil volumes and longer distances and increased transportation costs due to lower Gassled ownership share, added to the increase. These effects were partly offset by a reversal of a provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension of NOK 4.3 billion.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses increased by 48% mainly because of start-up of new fields in the second half of 2011. In addition, ramp-up and net increased entitlement production from other fields, increased investments and updated removal/abandonment estimates increased depreciation costs. Also net reversals of impairment losses in the first half of 2011 of NOK 3.1 billion added to the increase. These effects were partly offset by increased reserve estimates.

Exploration expenses increased by 43%, mainly due to higher drilling costs and a higher number of wells being drilled, lower reversals of previous impaired prospects and signature bonuses, and higher exploration expenditures capitalised in previous periods being expensed in this period.

Net financial items amounted to a loss of NOK 3.0 billion in the first half of 2012, compared to a loss of NOK 0.3 billion in the first half of 2011. The change was mainly due to an impairment loss related to a financial investment in the first half of 2012, and a stable USD against NOK and a strengthening of the USD against EUR in the first half of 2012 and a major weakening of the USD against NOK and EUR in 2011, which creates different currency effects between the first half of 2012 and 2011.

Income taxes were NOK 75.0 billion in the first half of 2012, equivalent to an effective tax rate of 64.1%, compared to 61.3% in the first half of 2011.The increase is mainly explained by relatively higher income from the NCS, which is subject to higher than average tax rate.

In the first half of 2012, net income amounted to NOK 41.9 billion. In addition to the impact of net operating income as described above, the 3% decrease was mainly attributable to a higher effective tax rate and increased loss on net financial items.

OUTLOOK

Organic capital expenditures for 2012 (i.e. excluding acquisitions and capital leases), are estimated at around USD 18 billion.

The Company will continue to mature its large portfolio of exploration assets and expects to complete around 45 wells in 2012 with a total exploration activity level at around USD 3.5 billion, excluding signature bonuses.

Statoil has an ambition to continue to be in the top quartile, of its peer group, for unit of production cost .

Planned maintenance is expected to have a negative impact on the quarterly production of approximately 110 mboe per day in the third quarter of 2012, of which two thirds are planned on the NCS. In total, the maintenance is estimated to have an impact on equity production of around 50 mboe per day for the full year 2012, of which most are liquids.

RISK UPDATE

Risk factors

The results of operations largely depend on a number of factors, most significantly those that affect the price for volumes sold. Specifically, such factors include liquids and natural gas prices, exchange rates, liquids and natural gas production volumes, which in turn depend on entitlement volumes under profit sharing agreements and available petroleum reserves, Statoil's, as well as our partners' expertise and co-operation in recovering oil and natural gas from those reserves, and changes in Statoil's portfolio of assets due to acquisitions and disposals.

The illustration shows how certain changes in crude oil prices (a substitute for liquids prices), natural gas contract prices and the USD/NOK exchange rate, if sustained for a full year, could impact our net operating income. Changes in commodity prices and currency and interest rates may result in income or expense for the period as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives in the balance sheet. The illustration is not intended to be exhaustive with respect to risks that have or may have a material impact on the cash flows and results of operation. See the annual report for 2011 and the 2011 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a more detailed discussion of the risks to which Statoil is exposed.

Financial risk management

Statoil has policies in place to manage risk for commercial and financial counterparties by the use of derivatives and market activities in general. The group's exposure towards financial counterparties is considered to have an acceptable risk profile.

The markets for short- and long-term financing are currently considered to function well for corporate borrowers with Statoil's credit standing and general characteristics. With regard to liquidity management, the focus is on finding the right balance between risk and reward and most funds are currently placed in short-term money market instruments with minimum single A-rating.

In accordance with our internal credit rating policy, we continuously assess counterparty credit risk with a focus on counterparties identified as high risk. We assess our overall credit risk as satisfactory.

Second quarter 2012

Average daily production of liquids decreased by 4%, mainly due to Heidrun redetermination settlement with a relatively high equity production in the second quarter of 2011, no production from Tordis in the second quarter of 2012 due to corrosion problems, and swivel challenges (water injection) at Norne. In addition, expected reductions due to natural decline on mature fields contributed to the decrease. These effects were partly offset by a new well in production at Morvin and new production from Gullfaks Sør Brent, and lower effects on turnarounds compared to the same quarter last year at several fields.

Average daily production of gas increased by 29%, mainly due to higher gas off-take at Troll and Oseberg, higher regularity in 2012 and new production from Gullfaks Sør Brent, higher production from Kvitebjørn in 2012 compared to the same quarter last year due to drilling in a depleted reservoir in 2011, higher ownershare at Snøhvit, and lower effects on turnarounds compared to the same quarter last year at several fields. This increase was partly offset, mainly due to natural decline at several fields.

First half 2012

Average daily production of liquids decreased by 2%, mainly related to Heidrun redetermination settlement with a relatively high equity production first half of 2011, Grane gascooler problems and expected reductions due to natural decline on mature fields. These effects were partly offset by a new well at Morvin and Oseberg, increased water injection compared to 2011 and new wells at Gullfaks, and lower effects on turnarounds compared to the same period last year at several fields.

Average daily production of gas increased by 19%, mainly related to higher gas off-take at Troll and Oseberg, new wells in production and high regularity at Gullfaks, and higher production from Kvitebjørn in 2012 compared to the same period last year due to drilling in depleted reservoir in 2011. This increase was partly offset by natural decline at several fields.

Second quarter 2012

Net operating income for Development and Production Norway was NOK 46.5 billion compared to NOK 37.2 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to gain on sale of NCS assets to Centrica, increased oil and gas production and a positive USD/NOK exchange rate, but partly offset by a decrease in the price of oil and increased operating expenses.

In the second quarter of 2012, gain on sale of NCS assets to Centrica (NOK 7.5 billion), overlift (NOK 1.0 billion) and reversal of provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension (NOK 0.7 billion) had a positive impact on net operating income. An unrealised loss on derivatives (NOK 1.0 billion), impairment on Glitne (NOK 0.6 billion) and other items (NOK 0.2 billion) had a negative impact on net operating income. In the second quarter of 2011, underlift (NOK 1.8 billion) negatively impacted net operating income. An unrealised gain on derivatives (NOK 1.9 billion) had a positive impact on net operating income.

Total revenues and other income increased by 20%, primarily driven by a gain on the sale of NCS assets to Centrica (NOK 7.5 billion), a positive effect of NOK 3.8 billion due to increased production of gas, higher transfer sales price of natural gas (measured in NOK) which had a positive impact of NOK 0.8 billion, and a positive exchange rate deviation effect of NOK 2.7 billion. The increase was partly offset by a negative effect of NOK 1.3 billion due to decreased production of liquids, and lower realised liquids price that had a negative impact of NOK 3.9 billion.

Operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 11%, mainly due to increased operating plant costs related to higher activity levels and increased well maintenance at some fields.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses increased by 10%, mainly due to net increased production, increased investments and impairment on Glitne, primarily offset by increased proved reserves.

Exploration expenses decreased by NOK 0.3 billion, mainly due to lower drilling activity. In addition, a reduction in exploration expenditure capitalised in previous years being expensed in the second quarter of 2012 contributed to the decrease.

First half 2012

In the first half of 2012, net operating income for Development and Production Norway was NOK 93.2 billion compared to NOK 75.8 billion in the first half of 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to gain on sale of NCS assets to Centrica, increased oil and gas production and a positive USD/NOK exchange rate, but partly offset by a decrease in the price of oil and increased operating expenses.

In the first half of 2012, the gain related to a sale of NCS assets to Centrica (NOK 7.5 billion), reversal of provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension (NOK 0.7 billion) and overlift (NOK 0.6 billion) positively impacted net operating income. An unrealised loss on derivatives (NOK 0.9 billion), impairment on Glitne (NOK 0.6 billion) and other items (NOK 0.1 billion) negatively impacted net operating income. In the first half of 2011, underlift (NOK 2.7 billion) negatively impacted net operating income. An unrealised gain on derivatives (NOK 2.2 billion) positively impacted net operating income.

Total revenues and other income increased by 19%, primarily driven by a gain related to the sale of NCS assets to Centrica (NOK 7.5 billion), a positive effect of NOK 4.9 billion due to increased production of gas and liquids, higher transfer sales price of natural gas (measured in NOK) which had a positive impact of NOK 2.4 billion, and a positive exchange rate deviation effect of NOK 3.3 billion.

Operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 21%. This was mainly due to increased operating plant costs related to higher activity on maintenance and well maintenance on some fields.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses increased by 8%, mainly due to net increased production and impairment on Glitne, but partly offset by increased proved reserves.

Exploration expenses decreased by NOK 1.1 billion, mainly due to lower drilling activity, higher capitalisation and no exploration expenditures capitalised in previous years being expensed in 2012.

Portfolio developments since last quarter:

Significant discovery: The gas and condensate discovery King Lear in the North Sea is an important contribution to revitalising the NCS with high-value barrels.
Submitted PDO of Svalin fast-track project in North Sea.
Enhancing recovery through subsea compression project at Gullfaks sanctioned by Board of Directors.

Second quarter 2012

Average daily entitlement production of liquids and gas increased by 59%, mainly due to higher equity production in the second quarter of 2012 and a lower negative effect from Production Sharing Agreements (PSA). The PSA effect on entitlement production was 194 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 206 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in PSA effect was mainly due to increased entitlement factors for individual fields, partly offset by increased PSA effect from increased equity production.

Average daily equity production of liquids increased to 510 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2012, up 27%. The increase was mainly related to the start-up of production from Pazflor (Angola) in the third quarter of 2011 and Caesar-Tonga (GoM) in the first quarter of 2012, Bakken in the U.S. which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011, ramp-up of Peregrino (Brazil) which started production in the second quarter of 2011, Murzuq (Libya) due to suspended production in the second quarter of 2011 and ramp-up of Leismer (Canada). The increase was partly offset by decreased production from ACG (Azerbaijan) mainly due to well limitations and operational issues, Kizomba B (Angola) due to natural decline and Girassol (Angola) due to turnaround.

Average daily equity production of gas increased from 98 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2011 to 154 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2012. The increase was mainly related to additional wells at Marcellus and Eagle Ford (U.S) and better market conditions at In Salah (Algeria).

First half 2012

Average daily entitlement production of liquids and gas was 455 mboe per day in the first half of 2012, compared to 308 mboe per day in the first half of 2011. The increase in entitlement production was mainly due to higher equity production in the first half of 2012. The PSA effect on entitlement production was 208 mboe per day in the first half of 2012, compared to 206 mboe per day in the first half of 2011.

Average daily equity production of liquids increased by 24%, mainly related to the start-up of production from Pazflor in the third quarter of 2011 and Caesar-Tonga in the first quarter of 2012, Bakken which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011, ramp-up of Peregrino which started production in the second quarter of 2011, Murzuq due to suspended production in the first half of 2011 and Leismer (ramp-up). The increase was partly offset by decreased production from ACG mainly due to well limitations and operational issues, Tahiti due to natural decline, In Amenas due to reduced well potential and revised equity share and Kizomba B due to natural decline.

Average daily equity production of gas increased by 50%, mainly related to additional wells at Marcellus and better market conditions at In Salah and Shah Deniz (Azerbaijan).

Second quarter 2012

In the second quarter of 2012, net operating income for Development and Production International was NOK 2.6 billion compared to NOK 17.3 billion in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to a gain of NOK 8.8 billion from the sale of a 40% share in Peregrino in Brazil and net impairment reversals of NOK 2.3 billion, which impacted net operating income positively in the second quarter of 2011.

Net operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was positively impacted by a gain of NOK 0.2 billion related to sale of assets and reversal of impairment of NOK 0.1 billion, whereas underlift of NOK 0.9 billion impacted net operating income negatively. In the second quarter of 2011, a gain of NOK 8.8 billion from the sale of a 40% share in Peregrino in Brazil, net impairment reversals of NOK 2.3 billion and other items of NOK 0.8 billion impacted net operating income positively. An underlift of NOK 0.4 billion affected net operating income negatively in that period.

Total revenues and other income were NOK 19.0 billion, down 17%. The decrease was mainly due to a gain of NOK 8.8 billion from the sale of a 40% share in Peregrino in Brazil in the second quarter of 2011, partly offset by higher entitlement production, which increased revenues by NOK 8.0 billion, offset by lower realised liquids and gas prices (measured in NOK), which reduced revenues by NOK 1.1 billion.

Operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 48%, primarily driven by increased royalty expenses of NOK 0.9 billion. In addition, higher production and ramp-up of new fields increased expenses.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses increased from NOK 1.1 billion to NOK 6.7 billion. Start-up of new fields (Pazflor, Bakken, Caesar-Tonga and Kizomba Satellites), increased depreciation costs by approximately NOK 2.2 billion. In addition, ramp-up and net increased entitlement production from other fields increased depreciation. Also, net reversals of impairments of NOK 2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2011, added to the increase.

Exploration expenses amounted to NOK 4.7 billion in the second quarter of 2012. The increase of NOK 3.3 billion is mainly due to increased expenses of non-commercial wells and increased seismic and field evaluation costs.

First half 2012

In the first half of 2012, net operating income for Development and Production International was NOK 10.1 billion compared to NOK 27.3 billion in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to a gain of NOK 14.4 billion from the sale of a 40% share in Peregrino and a 40% share of the Canadian oil sands assets and net impairment reversals of NOK 2.3 billion, which impacted net operating income positively in the first half of 2011.

Net operating income for the first half of 2012 was positively impacted by a gain of NOK 0.2 billion from the sale of Lorien in the Gulf of Mexico and NOK 0.1 billion from a signature bonus reimbursement, whereas an underlift of NOK 0.4 billion impacted net operating income negatively. Net operating income for the first half of 2011 was positively impacted by NOK 14.4 billion from gains from the sale of a 40% share in Peregrino and a 40% share of the Canadian oil sands assets, net impairment reversals of NOK 2.3 billion and other items of NOK 0.8 billion. An underlift of NOK 1.0 billion and unrealised loss on derivatives of NOK 0.1 billion negatively impacted net operating income in the first half of 2011.

Total revenues and other income decreased by 4%. Higher entitlement production and higher realised liquids and gas prices (measured in NOK) which had positive impacts of NOK 12.9 billion and NOK 0.9 billion respectively, were more than offset by a reduction in other income, mainly due to gains from the sale of a 40% share in Peregrino and a 40% share of the Canadian oil sands assets of NOK 14.4 billion.

Operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses increased from NOK 6.0 billion to NOK 9.5 billion, primarily driven by increased royalty expenses of NOK 2.1 billion. In addition, higher production and ramp-up of new fields increased expenses.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses increased from NOK 4.6 billion to NOK 12.7 billion, primarily explained by start-up of new fields after June 2011, which increased depreciation costs by approximately NOK 5.2 billion. In addition, ramp-up and net increased entitlement production from other fields increased depreciation. In addition, net impairment reversals of NOK 2.3 billion in the first half of 2011, added to the increase.

Exploration expenses amounted to NOK 7.3 billion in the first half of 2012. The increase of NOK 3.6 billion is mainly due to increased expenses of non-commercial wells and increased seismic and field evaluation costs.

Portfolio developments since last quarter:

The Kizomba Satellites Phase 1 started production on 18 May.
Significant discovery (Lavani) offshore Tanzania.
The frame agreement for Shtokman expired 30 June.
First steps in Rosneft cooperation; signed agreements for joint technical evaluation and joint bidding for exploration licenses in the Norwegian Barents Sea.

Second quarter 2012

Natural gas sales volumes amounted to 12.7 billion standard cubic meters (bcm), up 9%. The increase was mainly related to higher entitlement production both on NCS and in the U.S. Of total gas sales in the second quarter of 2012, entitlement gas amounted to 11.2 bcm and 0.6 bcm was related to the Norwegian State's direct financial interest (SDFI) share of US gas sales. In the second quarter of 2011, 8.2 bcm of total gas sales was entitlement gas and 1.1 bcm was the SDFI share of US gas sales.

Volume weighted average invoiced natural gas sales price increased by 8%, due to higher gas prices linked to contracts for oil products as well as gas indexed prices.

Refinery throughput in the second quarter of 2012 was higher than in the second quarter of 2011, both at Mongstad and Kalundborg.

Methanol production in the second quarter of 2012 was at same level as in the second quarter of 2011.

First half 2012

Natural gas sales volumes amounted to 27.7 bcm, up 8%. The increase in total gas sales volumes was mainly related to higher entitlement production. Of total gas sales in the first half of 2012, entitlement gas amounted to 24.4 bcm gas and 1.5 bcm was related to the SDFI share of US gas sales. In the first half of 2011, 19.4 bcm of total gas sales was entitlement gas and 2.2 bcm was the SDFI share of US gas sales.

Volume weighted average invoiced natural gas sales price increased by 12%, due to increase in gas prices linked to contracts for oil products as well as gas indexed prices.

Refinery throughput was higher than in the first half of 2011 due to higher on-stream factor and capacity utilisation at both the Mongstad and Kalundborg refineries.

Methanol production decreased by 5% mainly due to unplanned shutdowns.

Second quarter 2012

Net operating income for Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy amounted to NOK 3.9 billion, down 20%.

Net operating income in the second quarter of 2012 included a gain due to periodisation of inventory hedging effects (NOK 0.4 billion), a positive change in fair value of derivatives (NOK 0.3 billion), reversal of provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension (NOK 0.3 billion), a loss on operational storage (NOK 0.9 billion) and an impairment loss related to a gas fired power station (NOK 0.1 billion). Net operating income in the second quarter of 2011 included a gain due to periodisation of inventory hedging effects (NOK 2.7 billion), a positive change in fair value of derivatives (NOK 1.6 billion) and an impairment loss related to onshore wind assets (NOK 0.1 billion).

Total revenues and other income were up 19%, due to higher prices for gas and higher volumes of oil and gas sold, but partly offset by lower prices for crude and other oil products.

Purchases [net of inventory variation] were up 22% due to the same factors.

Operating expenses and selling, general and administration expenses were down 2% to NOK 7.3 billion. The decrease was mainly due to decreased gas transportation cost due to lower booking and tariffs, but partly offset by increased transportation activity due to higher oil volumes and longer distances (to capitalise on market opportunities).

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses were slightly reduced mainly due to lower Gassled ownership.

Net operating income in Natural Gas processing, marketing and trading was NOK 3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2012, compared to NOK 2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The increase was due to higher margins from gas sales due to higher prices and volumes, in addition to a positive contribution from trading activities. The increase was partly offset by lower income due to lower Gassled ownership and negative effects of change in fair value of derivatives.

Net operating income in Crude Oil processing, marketing and trading amounted to a loss of NOK 0.1 billion in the second quarter of 2012, compared to a gain of NOK 2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was mainly due to a loss on operational storage in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease was partly offset by good margins from trading of gas liquids and higher refinery margins, as well as a gain due to periodisation of inventory hedging effects.

First half 2012

Net operating income for Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy amounted to NOK 7.1 billion, up 1%.

Net operating income in the first half of 2012 included a reversal of provision related to the discontinued part of the early retirement pension (NOK 0.3 billion), a gain due to periodisation of inventory hedging effects (NOK 0.1 billion), a negative change in fair value of derivatives (NOK 1.1 billion), a loss on operational storage (NOK 0.5 billion), and an impairment loss related to a gas fired power station (NOK 0.1 billion). Net operating income in the first half of 2011 included a reversal of a provision and an impairment in connection with Cove Point (NOK 1.6 billion), a positive change in fair value of derivatives (NOK 1.3 billion), a gain on operational storage (NOK 0.8 billion), a gain due to periodisation of inventory hedging effects (NOK 0.2 billion) and an impairment loss related to onshore wind assets (NOK 0.1 billion).

Total revenues and other income were up 25% due to higher prices and volume for crude, other oil products and gas sold.

Purchases [net of inventory variation] were up 27% to NOK 332.3 billion due to the same factors.

Operating expenses and selling, general and administration expenses were up 14% to NOK 15.9 billion. The increase was mainly due to increased transportation activity due to higher oil volumes and longer distances (to capitalise on market opportunities) and increased external gas transportation cost due to lower Gassled ownership, but partly offset by lower Gassled tariffs.

Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses increased by 78%, mainly due to a reversal of an impairment loss in connection with Cove Point in the first half of 2011.

Net operating income in Natural Gas processing, marketing and trading were NOK 6.5 billion in the first half of 2012, compared to NOK 7.2 billion in the first half of 2011. The decrease was mainly related to lower income due to lower Gassled ownership, lower net effect of reversal of impairment losses and negative effects of change in fair value of derivatives. The decrease was partly offset by higher margins from gas sales due to increased prices and higher volumes, in addition to a positive contribution from trading.

Net operating income in Crude Oil processing, marketing and trading were NOK 0.7 billion in the first half of 2012, compared to NOK 0.2 billion in the first half of 2011. The increase was mainly due to an overall strong trading results and higher refinery margins, partly offset by a loss on operational storage in the first half of 2012 compared to a gain in the same period last year.

Portfolio developments since last quarter:

Turbine installation completed in July at Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farm in the U.K.

Second quarter 2012

Cash flows provided by operations decreased by NOK 3.5 billion, mainly attributable to increased taxes paid of NOK 6.0 billion and negative changes from increase in non-current items contributing NOK 6.9 billion, which was mainly due to changes in net pension obligation. These effects were partly offset by increased cash flows from income before tax adjusted for items with non-cash effect of NOK 9.6 billion.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by NOK 9.4 billion, mainly due to lower proceeds from sales of assets and business and higher additions to PP&E and intangible assets. Proceeds from sales were mainly related to payments from the sale of the 54% shareholding in SFR, and sale of NCS assets to Centrica in the second quarter of 2012. Proceeds from sales in the second quarter of 2011 were mainly related to the sale of interests in the Peregrino oil field in Brazil.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by NOK 5.7 billion. The change was mainly related to increased short-term borrowing of NOK 5.9 billion.

First half 2012

Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by NOK 5.2 billion. The decrease was mainly attributable to higher taxes paid of NOK 9.5 billion, negative changes from increase in non-current items contributing NOK 6.6 billion, which were mainly related to changes in net pension obligation, and increase in current financial investments of NOK 12.2 billion. The increase in current financial investments can largely be explained by an increase in cash flows generated from underlying operations which in turn was placed in financial investments. These effects were partly offset by increased cash flows from income before tax adjusted for items with non-cash effect of NOK 22.6 billion.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by NOK 16.5 billion, mainly due to NOK 14.2 billion higher additions to PP&E and intangible assets. Proceeds from sales of assets and business remain at the same level. In the first half of 2012, the proceeds from sales were mainly related to payments from sale of interest in Gassled, NCS assets to Centrica and the sale of the 54% shareholding in SFR. Proceeds from sales in the first half of 2011 were related to the sale of interests in the Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands in Canada and the Peregrino oil field in Brazil.

Cash flows used in financing activities increased by NOK 2.5 billion. The change was mainly related to decreased short-term borrowing of NOK 1.3 billion, and increased dividends paid of NOK 0.8 billion.

CAPITAL SPENDING

Gross investments — (in NOK billion)	Second quarter — 2012	2011	Change	First half — 2012	2011	Change	Full year — 2011
Development and Production Norway	12.2	9.6	27%	24.4	18.5	32%	41.4
Development and Production International	12.2	8.3	46%	25.9	18.0	43%	84.4

Gross investments (1)	27.4	19.8	38%	55.3	41.5	33%	133.6

Gross investments 1) amounted to NOK 27.4 billion in the second quarter of 2012, up NOK 7.6 billion compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to the acquisition of the Bakken asset in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2011, and a higher activity level in this period.

Gross investments amounted to NOK 55.3 billion in the first half of 2012, up NOK 13.8 billion compared to the first half of 2011. The increase was mainly due to the same factors as mentioned above.

In the first half of 2012, gross investments included expenditures related to exploration, and major development projects as Gudrun, Goliat, Skarv, Valemon, Fast Track projects, Bakken, Marcellus, Eagle Ford, Jack/St Malo, CLOV and PSVM.

FINANCIAL INDICATORS

Financial indicators — (in NOK billion)	First half — 2012	2011	Change
Gross interest-bearing financial liabilities (2)	120.8	109.0	11.8
Net interest-bearing liabilities adjusted (3)	43.5	38.2	5.3
Net debt to capital employed ratio (3)	10.7%	11.3%	(5.3%)
Net debt to capital employed ratio adjusted (3)	12.5%	13.6%	(8.1%)
Current financial investments (4)	48.3	27.7	20.6
Cash and cash equivalents	36.0	50.4	(14.4)

Gross interest-bearing financial liabilities 2) increased by NOK 11.8 billion due to an increase in current bonds, bank loans, commercial papers and collateral liabilities of NOK 2.1 billion and non-current bonds, bank loans and finance lease liabilities of NOK 9.5 billion. New non-current loans increased by NOK 1.5 billion and repayment of non-current loans increased by NOK 6.2 billion from the first half year of 2011 to the first half year of 2012.

Adjusted net interest-bearing liabilities 3) decreased by NOK 5.3 billion, mainly due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments of NOK 6.2 billion, partly offset by an increase in gross financial liabilities of NOK 11.7 billion and an increased change in non-GAAP adjustments to net interest-bearing liabilities of NOK 0.3 billion.

The net debt to capital employed ratio 3) decreased from 11.3% to 10.7%, mainly due to an increase in capital employed of NOK 61.2 billion partly offset by an increase in net financial liabilities of NOK 5.6 billion. Adjusted net debt to capital employed decreased from 13.6% to 12.5% mainly due to the same factors as described above.

Current financial investments 4) increased by NOK 20.6 billion. The increase in short-term investments (three to nine months), which are a part of our cash management system, is highly influenced by the sale of Gassled, the sale of licenses to Centrica and the sale of Statoil Fuel and Retail ASA.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by NOK 14.4 billion. The decrease mainly reflects a move from cash and cash equivalents to current financial investments as a part of our cash management system.

Defined as additions to property, plant and equipment (including capitalised financial lease), capitalised exploration expenditure, intangible assets, long-term share investments and non-current loans granted.
Defined as non-current and current bonds, bank loans and finance liabilities.
In the calculation of adjusted net interest-bearing liabilities, we make certain adjustments which make net interest-bearing liabilities and the net debt to capital employed ratio non-GAAP financial measures. For an explanation and calculation of the ratio, see the following section: Use and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
Current financial investments consist of short-term investments (three to nine months) and are a part of our cash management system.

USE AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (i.e. IFRS).

For more information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures, see report section - Financial analysis and review - Non-GAAP measures in Statoil's 2011 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

The following financial measures may be considered non-GAAP financial measures:

Net interest-bearing liabilities adjusted
Production cost per boe
Net debt to capital employed ratio

Production cost per barrel is based on operating expenses related to production of oil and gas. The following is a reconciliation of overall operating expenses to operating expenses exclusively related to production of oil and gas volumes:

Reconcilliation of overall operating expenses to production cost	For the three months ended — 2012		2011
(in NOK billion)	30-Jun	31-Mar	31-Dec	30-Sep	30-Jun
Operating expenses, Statoil Group	14.1	17.8	17.5	15.3	14.1
Deductions of costs not relevant to production cost calculation
Operating expenses in Business Areas non-upstream	4.0	6.9	6.4	5.7	6.2
Total operating expenses upstream	10.0	10.9	11.0	9.6	8.0
Operation over/underlift (1)	(0.3)	0.4	(0.2)	0.4	(0.8)
Transportation pipeline/vessel upstream (2)	1.5	1.4	1.3	1.4	1.2
Miscellaneous items (3)	0.8	1.5	1.5	1.0	0.6
Total operating expenses upstream for cost per barrel calculation (4)	8.0	7.6	8.5	6.8	6.9
Entitlement production used in the cost per barrel calculation (mboe/d)	1,786	1,970	1,778	1,573	1,486
Equity production used in the cost per barrel calculation (mboe/d)	1,980	2,193	1,975	1,764	1,692
1) Exclusion of the effect from the over-underlift position in the period. Reference is made to End notes 5.
2) Transportation costs are excluded from the unit of production cost calculation.
3) Consists of royalty payments, removal/abandonment estimates and the guarantee in connection with the Veslefrikk field which are not part
of the operating expenses related to production of oil and natural gas in the period.
4) In 2012, Statoil has elected to adjust Total operating expenses upstream only for the effects of footnotes 1-3 and will no longer present
further adjustments related to restructuring and Grane gas purchase.

Production cost — (in NOK per boe, last twelve months)*	Entitlement production — 30-Jun		Equity production — 30-Jun
	2012	2011	2012	2011
Production cost per boe	47	46	43	41
*Production cost per boe is calculated as the Total operating expenses upstream for the last four quarters divided by the production volumes (mboe/d multiplied by number of days) for the corresponding period.

The calculated net debt to capital employed ratio is viewed by Statoil as providing a more complete picture of the group's current debt situation than gross interest-bearing financial liabilities. The calculation uses balance sheet items related to gross interest-bearing financial liabilities and adjusts for cash, cash equivalents and current financial investments. Further adjustments are made for different reasons:

Since different legal entities in the group lend to projects and others borrow from banks, project financing through external bank or similar institutions will not be netted in the balance sheet and will over-report the debt stated in the balance sheet compared to the underlying exposure in the group. Similarly, certain net interest-bearing liabilities incurred from activities pursuant to the Marketing Instruction of the Norwegian government are off-set against receivables on the SDFI.
Some interest-bearing elements are classified together with non-interest bearing elements, and are therefore included when calculating the net interest-bearing liabilities.

The table below reconciles net interest-bearing liabilities, capital employed and the net debt to capital employed ratio to the most directly comparable financial measure or measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Net debt to capital employed adjusted (B3/(A+B3)	12.5%	13.6%	21.1%

Other interest-bearing elements are cash and cash equivalents adjustments regarding collateral deposits classified as cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet but considered as non-cash in the non-GAAP calculations as well as financial investments in Statoil Forsikring classified as current financial investments.
Marketing instruction adjustment is adjustment to gross interest bearing financial liabilities due to the SDFI part of the financial lease in the Snøhvit vessels included in Statoil's balance sheet.
Adjustment for project loan is an adjustment to gross-interest bearing financial liabilities due to the BTC project loan structure.
Normalisation for cash-build-up before tax payment adjusts to exclude 50% of the cash-build-up related to tax payments due in the beginning of February, April, August, October and December, which were NOK 16.6 billion and NOK 14 billion as of June 2012 and 2011, respectively.

END NOTES

The Group's average liquids price is a volume-weighted average of the segment prices of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGL), including a margin for oil sales, trading and supply.
The refining reference margin is a typical average gross margin of our two refineries, Mongstad and Kalundborg. The reference margin will differ from the actual margin though, due to variations in type of crude and other feedstock, throughput, product yields, freight cost, inventory etc.
A total of 13 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2012 and 14 mboe per day in the second quarter of 2011 represent our share of production in associated companies which is accounted for under the equity method. These volumes have been included in the production figure, but excluded when computing the over/underlift position. The computed over/underlift position is therefore based on the difference between produced volumes excluding our share of production in an associated company and lifted volumes.
Liquids volumes include oil, condensate and NGL, exclusive of royalty oil.
Lifting of liquids corresponds to sales of liquids for Development & Production Norway and Development & Production International. Deviations from the share of total lifted volumes from the field compared to the share in the field production are due to periodic over- or underliftings.
The production cost is calculated by dividing operational costs related to the production of oil and natural gas by the total production of liquids and natural gas.
Equity volumes represent produced volumes under a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) that correspond to Statoil's ownership percentage in a particular field. Entitlement volumes, on the other hand, represent Statoil's share of the volumes distributed to the partners in the field, which are subject to deductions for, among other things, royalty and the host government's share of profit oil. Under the terms of a PSA, the amount of profit oil deducted from equity volumes will normally increase with the cumulative return on investment to the partners and/or production from the license. As a consequence, the gap between entitlement and equity volumes will likely increase in times of high liquids prices. The distinction between equity and entitlement is relevant to most PSA regimes, whereas it is not applicable in most concessionary regimes such as those in Norway, the UK, Canada and Brazil.
Transactions with the Norwegian State. The Norwegian State, represented by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE), is the majority shareholder of Statoil and also holds major investments in other entities. This ownership structure means that Statoil participates in transactions with many parties that are under a common ownership structure and therefore meet the definition of a related party. Statoil purchases liquids and natural gas from the Norwegian State, represented by SDFI (the State's Direct Financial Interest). In addition, Statoil is selling the State's natural gas production in its own name, but for the Norwegian State's account and risk as well as related expenditures refunded by the State. All transactions are considered to be on a normal arms-length basis and are presented in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 ORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

General information and organisation Statoil ASA, originally Den Norske Stats Oljeselskap AS, was founded in 1972 and is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Forusbeen 50, N-4035 Stavanger, Norway.

Statoil's business consists principally of the exploration, production, transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum and petroleum-derived products. Statoil ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Norway) and the New York Stock Exchange (USA).

All Statoil's oil and gas activities and net assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) are owned by Statoil Petroleum AS, a 100% owned operating subsidiary. Statoil Petroleum AS is co-obligor or guarantor of certain debt obligations of Statoil ASA.

Statoil's interim financial statements for the second quarter of 2012 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 25 July 2012.

Basis of preparation These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) for a complete set of financial statements, and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. IFRSs as adopted by the EU differ in certain respects from IFRSs as issued by the IASB, but the differences do not impact Statoil's financial statements for the periods presented. A detailed description of the accounting policies applied is included in the Statoil annual financial statements for 2011. There have been no significant accounting policy changes in the first half of 2012 compared to the annual financial statements for 2011.

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

The interim financial statements are unaudited.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, considering the current and expected future market conditions. A change in an accounting estimate is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Commercial factors affecting the financial statements Statoil is exposed to a number of underlying economic factors, such as liquids prices, natural gas prices, refining margins, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, as well as financial instruments with fair values derived from changes in one or more of these factors, which affect the overall results for each period. In addition the results of Statoil are influenced in each period by the level of production, which in the short term may be influenced by for example maintenance programmes. In the long term, the results are impacted by the success of exploration and field development activities.

Table of Contents

2 SEGMENTS

Statoil's operations are managed through the following operating segments: Development and Production Norway (DPN); Development and Production North America (DPNA); Development and Production International (DPI); Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy (MPR); Fuel and Retail (FR) (until 19 June 2012 when the segment was sold) and Other.

The Development and Production operating segments, which are organised based on a regional model with geographical clusters or units, are responsible for the commercial development of the oil and gas portfolios within their respective geographical areas, DPN on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, DPNA in North America including offshore and onshore activities in the United States of America and Canada, and DPI worldwide outside of North America and Norway.

Exploration activities are managed by a separate business unit, which has the global responsibility across the group for discovery and appraisal of new exploration resources. Exploration activities are allocated to and presented in the respective Development and Production segments.

The MPR segment is responsible for marketing and trading of oil and gas commodities (crude, condensate, gas liquids, products, natural gas and LNG), electricity and emission rights; as well as transportation, processing and manufacturing of the above mentioned commodities, operations of refineries, terminals, processing and power plants, wind parks and other activities within renewable energy.

The FR segment marketed fuel and related products principally to retail consumers. Following the sale of Statoil Fuel & Retail ASA (SFR), the FR segment ceased to exist, but the fuel-supply agreement between Statoil and SFR is continuing. Sales of fuel from the MPR segment to SFR are presented as external sales in the MPR segment as of 20 June 2012.

The Other reporting segment includes activities within Global Strategy and Development, Technology, Projects and Drilling and the Corporate Centre, and Corporate Services.

Statoil reports its business through reporting segments which correspond to the operating segments, except for the operating segments DPI and DPNA which have been combined into one reporting segment, Development and Production International. This combination into one reporting segment has its basis in similar economic characteristics, the nature of products, services and production processes, as well as the type and class of customers and the methods of distribution.

The Eliminations section includes elimination of inter-segment sales and related unrealised profits, mainly from the sale of crude oil and products. Inter-segment revenues are based upon estimated market prices.

The measurement basis of segment profit is Net operating income . Financial items and Income tax are not allocated to the operating segments.

3 DISPOSITIONS

In April 2012 Statoil closed an agreement with Centrica, entered into in November 2011, to sell interests in certain licences on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for a total consideration of NOK 8.6 billion. The consideration includes a cash payment of NOK 7.1 billion, a contingent element and the responsibility for tax payments for the period between 1 January 2012 and the transaction date. The contingent element relates to production in a four year period and is capped at NOK 0.6 billion. A gain of NOK 7.5 billion has been recognised in the Development and Production Norway segment in the second quarter of 2012 and presented as Other income . The transaction is subject to the tax exemption rules in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax system and the gain includes a release of deferred tax liabilities related to the transaction.

On 19 June 2012 Statoil ASA sold its 54% shareholding in Statoil Fuel & Retail ASA (SFR) to Alimentation Couche-Tard for a cash consideration of NOK 8.3 billion. Until this transaction SFR has been fully consolidated in the Statoil group with a 46% non-controlling interest. In the second quarter interim financial statements, Statoil has recognised a gain of NOK 5.8 billion from the transaction, presented as Other income . The gain is exempt from taxes and has been presented in the Fuel and Retail segment.

4 FINANCIAL ITEMS

Interest income and other financial items include gains and losses from commercial paper investments nominated in DKK, EUR, GBP and NOK. For the three and six months ended 30 June 2012 losses of NOK 1.9 billion and NOK 1.0 billion, respectively, were recognised primarily because of the strengthening of the USD. For the corresponding periods in 2011, gains of NOK 0.2 billion and NOK 0.9 billion, respectively, were recognised due to the weakening of the USD.

Included in Interest income and other financial items for the three and six months ended 30 June 2012 is an impairment loss of NOK 2.1 billion related to an available for sale financial investment.

Interest and other finance expenses includes fair value effects on interest rate swap positions, which are used to manage the interest rate risk on external loans. For the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011 fair value gains of NOK 2.1 billion and NOK 1.6 billion respectively, caused by decreased interest rates, were recognised. For the corresponding six months period, fair value gains recognised were NOK 1.3 billion and NOK 0.7 billion, respectively.

5 INCOME TAXES

(in NOK million)	For the three months ended 30 June — 2012	2011	For the six months ended 30 June — 2012	2011	For the year ended 31 December — 2011
Income before tax	59,526	61,243	116,937	111,501	213,841
Income tax	(32,946)	(34,190)	(75,002)	(68,390)	(135,398)
Equivalent to a tax rate of	55.3 %	55.8 %	64.1 %	61.3 %	63.3 %

The tax rate for the three months ended 30 June 2012 was reduced as a result of tax exempted dispositions. This was partly offset by a relatively high portion of the income from the Norwegian Continental Shelf, which is subject to a higher than average tax rate. The relatively low tax rate for the three months ended 30 June 2012 also reduced the tax rate for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

The tax rates for the three and six months periods ended 30 June 2011 were primarily influenced by capital gains and reversals of impairments in entities with lower than average tax rates and a relatively low portion of income from the Norwegian Continental Shelf which is subject to a higher than average tax rate.

7 PROVISIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

In 2012 Statoil has entered into certain new operational lease contracts for drilling rigs, which contribute to an increase in the group's total future leasing commitments. The new drilling rig contracts involve future minimum lease payments of NOK 29 billion and have terms ranging from four months to eight years.

During the second quarter of 2012 the major part of the financial exposure related to price review claims, for which arbitration previously had been requested, has been settled on commercial terms with no significant impact on the interim financial statements.

During the normal course of its business Statoil is involved in legal proceedings, and several other unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The ultimate liability or asset, respectively, in respect of such litigation and claims cannot be determined at this time. Statoil has provided in its financial statements for probable liabilities related to litigation and claims based on the Company's best judgement. Statoil does not expect that its financial position, results of operations or cash flows will be materially affected by the resolution of these legal proceedings.

Table of Contents

8 PENSIONS

In April 2012 Statoil decided to discontinue the company's supplementary (gratuity) part of the early retirement scheme for employees born after 1953. A number of individual early retirement contracts will be continued.

The national Norwegian "agreement-based early retirement plan" (AFP) and the supplementary gratuity company plan have been, from an accounting perspective, regarded as constituting one combined defined benefit plan for early retirements benefits.

Following the discontinuance of the gratuity plan, a curtailment gain of NOK 3.8 billion has been recognised in the statement of income in the second quarter of 2012. For the six months period ended 30 June 2012 the curtailment amount was NOK 4.3 billion, including NOK 0.5 billion related to Statoil Fuel and Retail ASA's redesign of its defined benefit plans from the first quarter of 2012.

Employees remain entitled to the early retirement benefits available under the AFP plan or under a similar company specific plan. The AFP plan is a multi-employer defined benefit plan. International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 Employee Benefits requires that an entity's proportionate share of the defined benefit obligations in such plans are recognised as liabilities in the balance sheet to the extent that sufficient information is available and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Statoil has determined its share of this obligation based on the estimated AFP benefits to be received by Statoil employees, combined with other relevant public information, as actuarial information in respect of the total membership of the AFP arrangement is limited. After performing sensitivity analyses, Statoil has assessed this to be a sufficiently reliable estimate for recognition purposes. Accordingly, after the discontinuance of the gratuity plan, Statoil's share in the AFP plan continues to be recognised as a defined benefit obligation.

Projected benefit obligation specified by funded and unfunded plans	At 30 June	At 31 December
(in NOK million)	2012	2011
Funded pension plans	(48,208)	(48,078)
Unfunded pension plans	(22,228)	(26,966)
Projected benefit obligation at the end of the period	(70,436)	(75,044)

No changes were made to the actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit costs and obligations compared to the annual financial statements for 2011 .
