Putting Perspective on a Potential Liability
We’ll again preface our comments by saying we do not know how large the cost
of clean-up associated with the Macondo oil spill will be, or how large the legal
costs may end up. However, it became increasingly clear today that BP expects
its partners to pay their proportionate share of clean-up costs, which means 25%
of liability net to APC. APC recently received its first clean-up bill from BP on
June 8th and still has ~22 days left to decide whether it will pay the bill.

    We are reducing our best “estimate” of total “gross” clean-up liability
   associated with the Macondo oil spill from $30 billion to $20 billion,
   consistent with the estimate of UBS European Oils analyst, Jon Rigby.
   Please note the $20 billion figure is an estimate of clean up and
   compensation costs and basic fines, and it is merely a coincidence that the
   figure matches the level of the escrow account disclosed today. Also, should
   liabilities exceed $20 billion, BP and its partners would be liable for the
   higher figure, as the escrow account was designed to provide visibility to the
   public that funds would be available to pay for the clean-up and legal fees.
   Our approach is using a sum of estimated compensation costs for impact on
   fishing and tourism revenue, well control and clean-up costs, and basic fines
   related to the Clean Water Act.

   —   Tourism and fishing: Based on tourism estimates from various news
       sources and fishing revenues sourced from the National Oceanic and
       Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), we derived annual revenue for
       tourism and fishing industry for four coastal states: Alabama, Louisiana,
       Florida and Mississippi. Using a weighted average of potential revenue
       impact for these four states, we estimate compensation cost will total
       ~$13 billion.

   —   Well control and clean-up cost: Assuming the spill lasts for 100 days at
       a rate of 27.5 MBbld from now until capping of the well, and that the
       clean-up costs is similar to those bourn by Exxon. In addition, we add in
       cost of drilling the relief wells and $1.0 billion more for additional clean-
       up cost after the well is capped, we expect total well control and clean-up
       costs to total ~$4.8 billion. We again point out that Macondo is producing
       lighter oil which should be easier to clean up and less has made it to shore,
       and costs should be higher due to inflation but partly offset by a larger
       local oilfield service infrastructure.

   —   Basic fines: According to the Clean Water Act, there is a fine of
       $1,100/Bbl of oil spilled if there is no negligence and $4,300/Bbl if
       negligence is proved. We currently assume negligence is not proven.
       Assuming a total of ~2.3 million barrels of oil will be spilled, we estimate
       basic fine to total ~$2.5 billion. We note that our estimate of total barrel
       of oil spilled is based on estimate of 15 MBbld of spill rate since the
       beginning of the spill, and a rate of 27.5 MBbld from June 4th onward
       when spill estimate was revised up. We assume the well is not plugged
       until August 2nd. This estimate assumes the plug can only occur with a
       relief well successfully drilling into the original wellbore. The first relief
       well spud May 2, and is expected to take 70 days to reach target depth, as
       well as several tries to hit and penetrate the original well’s casing. There


                                                                                        UBS 2

       could be potential debate on how the basic fine will be calculated and
       whether current spill estimate could be back-dated.

   To put the $20 billion gross clean-up cost into perspective, we have
   included our assessment first written in our June 1st note outlining
   APC’s ability to pay for its potential liability. As there are so many
   uncertainties surrounding the potential liability, we are running four
   scenarios to outline how APC would fund the liability, and what the
   implications would be on valuation and our price target. The four liabilities
   we assume are “gross” clean-up/legal costs of $20 billion, $30 billion, $40
   billion, and $50 billion. As APC has a 25% working interest, APC’s net
   liability in these four scenarios is $5 billion, $7.5 billion, $10 billion, and
   $12.5 billion. We believe this scenario analysis is being conservative in that
   APC would not have to foot 25% of the ultimate legal settlements. Also, our
   scenario analysis does not account for the likelihood that payments will be
   strung out over a number of years (note the escrow account will be funded
   over four years) rather than the one time hit our analysis assumes. (Please
   note, we’ve adjusted downward our target multiple to 0.8x from 0.85 NAV
   since we originally published this analysis on June 1 in order to be consistent
   with our universe’s current price/NAV valuation.)

Scenario 1 -- $20 billion gross liability, $5 billion net to APC

APC has the financial wherewithal to fund this level of liability relatively
easily. It currently has cash of $3.7 billion and unused credit capacity of $1.3
billion. Additionally, it has unbooked (non-cash producing) resources with an
estimated value of $14 billion (of which we ascribe just $3 billion to the
discoveries at Heidelberg, Shenandoah, Vito, and Lucius in the deepwater
GOM).

Under this scenario, we believe fair value for APC would be ~$68 per share.
We arrive at this figure via two avenues: 1) 6.5x our normalized 2010 EBITDX
estimate implies an $86 per share equity value less $10 per share for the $5
billion liability; and 2) a 20% discount to a reduced 2P NAV of $88.

Scenario 2 -- $30 billion gross liability, $7.5 billion net to APC

APC would likely have to issue equity to fund this level of liability. We
assume APC would utilize $4 billion from cash on hand as well as combination
of reduced capex or modestly dipping into its credit line. We estimate the
remaining $3.5 billion would be funded by $2.0 billion in asset sales and $1.5
billion in equity (7% dilution). Under this scenario, we believe fair value for
APC would be ~$64 per share, or 0.80x NAV.

Scenario 3-- $40 billion gross liability, $10 billion net to APC

APC would have to issue more equity and dispose a larger percentage of its
unbooked resources to fund this level of liability. We assume APC would
utilize $4 billion from cash on hand as well as combination of reduced capex or
modestly dipping into its credit line. We estimate the remaining $6 billion would
be funded by $3.0 billion in asset sales and $3 billion in equity (14.5% dilution).
Under this scenario, we believe fair value for APC would be ~$58 per share,
or 0.8x NAV.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. 17 June 2010


Scenario 4 -- $50 billion gross liability, $12.5 billion net to APC

We assume APC would utilize $4 billion from cash on hand as well as
combination of reduced capex or modestly dipping into its credit line. We
estimate the remaining $8.5 billion would be funded by $5.0 billion in asset
sales and $3.5 billion in equity (17% dilution). Under this scenario, we believe
fair value for APC would be ~$54 per share, or 0.8x NAV.

But APC May Choose Another Legal Route
We believe APC may choose not to pay the bill, and sue BP on the grounds
of gross negligence. While there has been plenty of commentary on the risky
steps taken by BP on the well design, we should note it is particularly difficult to
prove gross negligence, as it is the responsibility of the plaintiff to prove “willful
intent.” Nonetheless, five well design decisions made by BP will need to be
scrutinized in order to prove BP’s gross negligence. Henry Waxman and Bart
Stupak, Chairman of Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, wrote a
letter to Tony Hayward on June 14th, highlighting five decisions where BP may
have compromised the integrity of the well for cost and time savings. According
to the letter, the five issues are:

    (1) Casing decision. BP chose a more risky casing option of using a full
    string of “casing” from the top of the wellhead to the bottom of the well,
    instead of hanging a “liner” from the lower end of the casing and installing a
    “tieback” on top of the liner. The “tieback” option would have been safer
    because it provided more barriers to the flow of gas up the annular space
    surrounding the steel tubes. However, BP chose the more risky casing option,
    apparently because the liner option would have cost $7 to $10 million more
    and taken longer.

    (2) Too few “centralizers”. Centralizers are used to making sure the casing
    runs down the center of the wellbore. According to the letter, Halliburton, the


                                                                                                                               UBS 4
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. 17 June 2010


   contractor hired by BP to cement the well, warned BP that the well could
   have a “severe gas flow problem” if BP lowered the final string of casing
   with only six centralizers instead of the 21 recommended by Halliburton.
   However, BP rejected Halliburton’s advice to use additional centralizers.

   (3) Cement bond log. The cement bond log determines whether the cement
   has bonded to the casing and surrounding formations. BP did not run the 9-
   to 12-hour procedure and is believed to have saved over $128,000 from
   related costs.

   (4) Mud Circulation. Oil companies are required to fully circulate the
   drilling mud in a well before commencing the cementing process, which
   would allow workers to detect gas influxes and safely remove any pockets of
   gas and prevent contamination of the cement. Circulating the mud in the
   Macondo well could have taken as long as 12 hours, but BP only conducted a
   partial circulation of the drilling mud before the cement job.

   (5) Lockdown Sleeve. A casing hanger lockdown sleeve is a critical
   apparatus to lock the wellhead and the casing in the seal assembly at the
   seafloor. BP did not deploy the device, which would have prevented the seal
   from being blown out from below.




                                                                                 UBS 5
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. 17 June 2010




   Anadarko Petroleum Corp.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is an independent oil and gas exploration and
production company with North American operations located in Texas,
Louisiana, the mid-continent region, the western states, Alaska, and the Gulf of
Mexico. The company also has significant international operations in Algeria,
China, Brazil, Ghana, and Indonesia. Additionally, the company actively
markets natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids production, and it owns and
operates gas-gathering systems in its core producing areas.




   Statement of Risk

E&P companies are subject to risks associated with unexpected movements in
volatile natural gas and crude oil prices, as well as the impact that political,
economic and meteorological events could impart. Moreover, E&P companies
are subject to geologic risk (i.e., exploration risk).

APC contains above-average financial leverage relative to its peers, and requires
material debt reduction through an asset sale program. APC's high leverage to
exploration activities puts it a risk of financial losses if unsuccessful.
Additionally, APC's leverage to operations in the Gulf of Mexico makes it
susceptible to hurricane and other adverse weather conditions.

Note: On August 4, 2007 UBS revised its rating system. (See 'UBS Investment Research: Global Equity Rating Definitions' table
for details). From September 9, 2006 through August 3, 2007 the UBS ratings and their definitions were: Buy 1 = FSR is > 6%
above the MRA, higher degree of predictability; Buy 2 = FSR is > 6% above the MRA, lower degree of predictability; Neutral 1 =
FSR is between -6% and 6% of the MRA, higher degree of predictability; Neutral 2 = FSR is between -6% and 6% of the MRA,
lower degree of predictability; Reduce 1 = FSR is > 6% below the MRA, higher degree of predictability; Reduce 2 = FSR is > 6%
below the MRA, lower degree of predictability. The predictability level indicates an analyst's conviction in the FSR. A
predictability level of '1' means that the analyst's estimate of FSR is in the middle of a narrower, or smaller, range of possibilities.
A predictability level of '2' means that the analyst's estimate of FSR is in the middle of a broader, or larger, range of possibilities.
From October 13, 2003 through September 8, 2006 the percentage band criteria used in the rating system was 10%.
