Main elements impacting the quarter aggregates

• Hydrocarbon production is expected to be at 2.4 Mboe/d, thanks to the ramp up of the Mero 2 project in Brazil that partially offsets unplanned shutdowns in Ichthys LNG and security-related disruptions in Libya. Exploration & Production results are expected to reflect the decrease in liquid prices compensated by an increase in gas prices.
• Integrated LNG results are expected to be above $1 billion, in a context of low market volatility and a decrease in production due to unplanned maintenance on Ichthys LNG.
• Integrated Power results are expected to be broadly in line with the second quarter.
• Downstream results are expected to sharply decrease given much lower refining margins in Europe and in the Rest of the World.

Actual results could vary significantly from estimates based on the application of these sensitivities.
