"We achieved record production, highlighted by a 25,000 barrel-per-day increase in higher-margin liquids sales volumes over 2011, while continuing to safely improve efficiencies in every segment of our business. We achieved a reserve-replacement ratio of 162 percent, before the effects of price revisions, at competitive costs, and we remain on track to meet our goal of 3 billion BOE of proved reserves by the end of 2014. We also made significant progress advancing several large-scale development projects, contributing to our transparent future growth. We delivered a 67-percent success rate in 2012 from our deepwater exploration and appraisal drilling program, where we've had a very strong three-year average success rate of almost 70 percent. The combination of industry-leading deepwater exploration success and strong, capital-efficient operating results gives Anadarko a track record our employees are very proud of and look forward to building upon in 2013."
