Mozambique
Anadarko and its partners have been tremendously successful in the frontier waters of Mozambique's Rovuma Basin, discovering two of the most important natural gas complexes in the last decade and the largest potential LNG project in the company's history. Anadarko drilled more than a dozen successful exploration/appraisal wells since 2010, revealing two major natural gas complexes that combined hold an estimated 35 to 65-plus trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable natural gas resources (up to 100 Tcf of natural gas in place). The Prosperidade and Golfinho/Atum complexes represent a transformational opportunity for Mozambique. The partnership also announced other discoveries at the Orca and Tubarão prospects, which are located near Prosperidade and are not included in the resource estimate provided above.
As a result of this success, the company and its partners are moving forward with an initial development plan that includes four liquidification trains (5-million-tonne-per-annum (MMTPA), each) with designs to expand to 50 MMTPA in future years.

El Merk, Algeria
Anadarko and its partners achieved first oil at the El Merk project in Algeria in March of 2013. Production from El Merk is expected to steadily increase throughout 2013 to a net 30,000 barrels of oil per day as additional production facilities and fields are brought on line.
Jubilee Project, Ghana
Anadarko and partners announced first oil from the world-class Jubilee field in December 2010. First oil was achieved in a record time -- just 3.5 years following first discovery. The partnership's success has expanded in Ghana with major discoveries at the adjacent Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme fields (now called the TEN complex), which are expected to advance as the next major FPSO development in the region. In 2011, Anadarko and partners announced additional discoveries in the Teak and Akasa fields just north of the Jubilee Unit. The partnership is continuing an active drilling program offshore Ghana in 2013.
