MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
1. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods reported. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise.
These financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared
in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. Certain
reclassifications of prior year data have been made to conform to 2002
classifications. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Marathon Oil
Corporation (Marathon).
2. Prior to December 31, 2001, Marathon, formerly named USX Corporation,
had two outstanding classes of common stock: USX-Marathon Group common
stock (Marathon Stock), which was intended to reflect the performance of
Marathon's energy business, and USX-U. S. Steel Group common stock
(Steel Stock), which was intended to reflect the performance of
Marathon's steel business. On December 31, 2001, Marathon disposed of
its steel business through a tax-free distribution of the common stock
of its wholly owned subsidiary United States Steel Corporation (United
States Steel) to holders of Steel Stock in exchange for all outstanding
shares of Steel Stock on a one-for-one basis (the Separation). At
December 31, 2001, the net debt and other financings of United States
Steel was $54 million less than the net debt and other financings
attributable to the Steel Stock, adjusted for a $900 million value
transfer and certain one-time items related to the Separation. On
February 6, 2002, United States Steel made a payment to Marathon of $54
million, plus applicable interest, to settle this difference.
Marathon has accounted for the business of United States Steel as a
discontinued operation. The income from discontinued operations for the
periods ended September 30, 2001, represents the net income attributable
to the Steel Stock, except for certain limitations on the amounts of
corporate administrative expenses and interest expense (net of income
tax effects) allocated to discontinued operations as required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because
operating and investing activities are separately identifiable to each
of Marathon and United States Steel, such amounts have been separately
disclosed in the statement of cash flows. Financing activities were
managed on a centralized, consolidated basis. Therefore they have been
reflected on a consolidated basis in the statement of cash flows.
3. Effective January 1, 2001, Marathon adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138.
This statement requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities at fair value. The transition adjustment related to
adopting SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, was recognized as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle. The unfavorable cumulative
effect on net income, net of a tax benefit of $5 million, was $8
million. The unfavorable cumulative effect on other comprehensive income
(loss) (OCI), net of a tax benefit of $4 million, was $8 million.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
---------------------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
3. (Continued)
Since the issuance of SFAS No. 133, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) has issued several interpretations. As a result, Marathon
has recognized in income beginning on January 1, 2002, the effect of
changes in the fair value of two long-term natural gas sales contracts
in the United Kingdom. As of January 1, 2002, Marathon recognized a
favorable cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $13
million, net of tax of $7 million. The unfavorable pretax change in the
fair value of the gas contracts during the first nine months of 2002 was
$9 million. The recorded derivative assets will continue to be
marked-to-market.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS
No. 143). This statement requires the fair value of a liability for an
asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The
associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Marathon will adopt this
statement effective January 1, 2003, as required. The adoption of this
statement will result in a cumulative effect and be reported as a change
in accounting principle relating primarily to the abandonment of oil and
gas producing facilities. At this time, Marathon cannot reasonably
estimate the effect of adoption on either its financial position or
results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS No.
145). Extinguishment of debt will be accounted for in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results of
Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business,
and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions". SFAS No. 145 has a dual effective date. The provisions
relating to accounting for leases were applicable to transactions
occurring after May 15, 2002. The provisions relating to the early
extinguishment of debt will be adopted by Marathon on January 1, 2003.
As a result, losses from the early extinguishment of debt in 2002, which
are currently reported as extraordinary items, will be reported in
income from continuing operations in comparative financial statements
subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 145.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146 "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS No.
146). SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities
that are initiated after December 31, 2002.
4. Basic net income per share is calculated by adjusting net income for
dividend requirements of preferred stock when applicable and is based on
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income per share assumes exercise of stock options, provided
the effect is not antidilutive.

6. During 2002, in two separate transactions, Marathon acquired interests in
the Alba Field offshore Equatorial Guinea, West Africa, and certain other
related assets.
On January 3, 2002, Marathon acquired certain interests from CMS Energy
Corporation for $1,005 million. Marathon acquired three entities that own a
combined 52.4% working interest in the Alba Production Sharing Contract and
a net 43.2% interest in an onshore liquefied petroleum gas processing plant
through an equity method investee. Additionally, Marathon acquired a 45%
net interest in an onshore methanol production plant through an equity
method investee. Results of operations for the nine months of 2002 include
the results of the interests acquired from CMS Energy from January 3, 2002.
On June 20, 2002, Marathon acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
Globex Energy, Inc. (Globex) for $155 million. Globex owned an additional
10.9% working interest in the Alba Production Sharing Contract and an
additional net 9.0% interest in the onshore liquefied petroleum gas
processing plant. Globex also held oil and gas interests offshore
Australia.
The allocations of purchase price are preliminary. The allocations to
intangible assets are not expected to be significant. The goodwill arising
from the preliminary allocations was $179 million, which was assigned to
the E&P segment. Significant factors that resulted in the recognition of
goodwill include: the ability to acquire an established business with an
assembled workforce and a proven track record and a strategic acquisition
in a core geographic area.
Additionally, the purchase price allocated to the equity method investments
is $224 million higher than the underlying net assets of the investees.
This excess will be amortized over the expected useful life of the
underlying assets except for $35 million of goodwill relating to the equity
investments.

In the first quarter 2001, Marathon acquired Pennaco Energy, Inc.(Pennaco),
a natural gas producer. Marathon acquired 87% of the outstanding stock of
Pennaco through a tender offer completed on February 7, 2001 at $19 a
share. On March 26, 2001, Pennaco was merged with a wholly owned
subsidiary of Marathon. Under the terms of the merger, each share not held
by Marathon was converted into the right to receive $19 in cash. The total
cash purchase price of Pennaco was $506 million. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The goodwill
totaled $70 million. Goodwill amortization ceased upon adoption of SFAS
No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Results of operations for the nine months of
2001 include the results of Pennaco from February 7, 2001.
The following unaudited pro forma data for Marathon includes the results

legal and employee benefit costs incurred by Globex related to the
acquisition.

7. During the second quarter of 2002, Marathon acquired additional interests
in coalbed methane assets in the Powder River Basin of northern Wyoming
and southern Montana from XTO Energy, Inc. (XTO) in exchange for certain
oil and gas properties in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana.
Additionally, 100 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) of long term gas
transportation capacity was released to Marathon by the original owner of
the Powder River Basin interests.
On July 1, 2002, Marathon completed this transaction by selling its
production interests in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico to XTO for $42
million. Marathon recognized a pretax gain of $24 million in the third
quarter related to this transaction.
8. Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories of
crude oil and refined products is determined primarily under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method.

When the cost basis of its inventory exceeds market value, Marathon
establishes an inventory market valuation (IMV) reserve to adjust the
cost basis of its inventories to current market value. Quarterly
adjustments to the IMV reserve result in noncash charges or credits to
income from operations. Decreases in market prices below the cost basis
result in charges to income from operations. Once a reserve has been
established, subsequent inventory turnover and increases in prices (up
to the cost basis) result in credits to income from operations. Nine
months ended September 30, 2002, results of operations include a credit
to income from operations of $72 million.

During the first nine months of 2002, $14 million of gains, net of tax,
were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of
cash flow hedges. As a result of a revised production forecast, it is
no longer probable the original forecasted transactions will occur.
10. The provision for income taxes for the periods reported is based on tax
rates and amounts which recognize management's best estimate of current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In July 2002, the United Kingdom enacted a supplementary 10 percent tax
on profits from North Sea oil and gas production retroactively
effective to April 17, 2002. In the third quarter 2002, Marathon
recognized a one-time noncash deferred tax adjustment of $61 million
related to prior periods.
The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2002
decreased by $400 million compared to the prior period primarily due to
a $1,323 million decrease in income before income taxes in 2002
compared to 2001. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of
2002 was 46% compared to 35% for the comparable period in 2001. Without
the one-time non cash deferred tax adjustment of $61 million, the
effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2002 would have been
36%.
Interest and other financial costs in the nine months of 2001 included
a favorable adjustment of $9 million related to certain prior years'
taxes.
11. At September 30, 2002, Marathon had no borrowings against its $1,354
million long-term revolving credit facility and no borrowings against
its $451 million short-term revolving credit facility. In April 2002,
Marathon initiated a $1,350 million U.S. commercial paper program which
is backed by the long-term revolving credit facility. $275 million of
commercial paper was outstanding at September 30, 2002.
Certain banks provide Marathon with uncommitted short-term lines of
credit totaling $200 million. At September 30, 2002, there were no
borrowings against these facilities.

At September 30, 2002, MAP had no borrowings against its $350 million
short-term revolving credit agreements with banks and had no borrowings
outstanding against its $190 million revolving credit agreement with
Ashland, Inc., which was amended and extended for one year to March 15,
2003. MAP had an additional committed $100 million 364-day revolving
credit facility which expired in July 2002.
At September 30, 2002, in the event of a change in control of Marathon,
debt obligations totaling $2,378 million and operating lease obligations
of $100 million may be declared immediately due and payable. In such
event, Marathon may also be required to either repurchase the leased
Fairfield slab caster for $96 million or provide a letter of credit to
secure the remaining obligation.
12. In the first nine months of 2002, Marathon issued notes of $1.45
billion as follows: $450 million due 2012, $550 million due 2032 and
$450 million due 2007, bearing interest at 6.125%, 6.8% and 5.375%,
respectively. Additionally, Marathon Global Funding Corporation, a
100%-owned consolidated finance subsidiary of Marathon, issued notes of
$400 million due 2012, bearing interest at 6.0%. Marathon has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed the securities of Marathon Global Funding.
Marathon used the net proceeds to fund the purchase price and
associated costs of the CMS Energy and Globex acquisitions, to
refinance existing debt, to reduce outstanding commercial paper and for
other general corporate purposes. The debt repurchased and retired
early had average terms to maturity of between two and 21 years bearing
interest at rates ranging from 8.125% to 9.375% per year, or a weighted
average of 9.04% per year. The retirement of $144 million in the third
quarter resulted in an extraordinary loss of $7 million (net of tax of
$5 million) or $0.02 per share. During the nine months ended September
30, 2002, Marathon retired $337 million of long-term debt resulting in
an extraordinary loss of $33 million (net of tax of $20 million) or
$0.10 per share.
13. Marathon is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or
threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a
variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the
environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate
resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the
aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements.
However, management believes that Marathon will remain a viable and
competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these
contingencies could be resolved unfavorably.
Marathon is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide
for control of pollutants released into the environment and require
responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal
sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. At September 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $72
million and $77 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to
estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be
incurred or the penalties that may be imposed. Receivables for
recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist
companies in cleanup efforts related to underground storage tanks at
retail marketing outlets, were $58 million at September 30, 2002, and
$60 million at December 31, 2001.

For a number of years, Marathon has made substantial capital expenditures
to ensure its existing facilities comply with various laws relating to
the environment. In the nine months of 2002 and for the years 2001 and
2000, such capital expenditures totaled $69 million, $85 million and $73
million, respectively.
At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, accrued liabilities for
platform abandonment and dismantlement totaled $217 million and $193
million, respectively.
Marathon guaranteed certain obligations related to the business of
United States Steel. As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the
exposure for all of these matters totaled $19 million and $28 million,
respectively.
United States Steel is the sole general partner of Clairton 1314B
Partnership, L.P., which owns certain cokemaking facilities formerly
owned by United States Steel. Marathon has guaranteed to the limited
partners all obligations of United States Steel under the partnership
documents. United States Steel may dissolve the partnership under
certain circumstances, including if it is required to fund accumulated
cash shortfalls of the partnership in excess of $150 million. In
addition to the normal commitments of a general partner, United States
Steel has indemnified the limited partners for certain income tax
exposures. United States Steel has reported that it currently has no
unpaid outstanding obligations to the limited partners.
At September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, Marathon's pro rata share
of obligations of LOOP LLC and various pipeline investees secured by
throughput and deficiency agreements totaled $168 million. Under the
agreements, Marathon is required to advance funds if the investees are
unable to service debt. Any such advances are prepayments of future
transportation charges.
At September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, MAP had guaranteed the
repayment of $75 million and $38 million, respectively of the outstanding
balance of Centennial Pipeline LLC's Master Shelf and Revolving Note
Agreements.
At September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, Marathon's contract
commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and long-term
investments totaled $664 million and $297 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Marathon Oil Corporation (Marathon), formerly USX Corporation, is
engaged in worldwide exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas;
domestic refining, marketing and transportation of crude oil and petroleum
products primarily through its 62 percent owned subsidiary, Marathon Ashland
Petroleum LLC (MAP); and other energy related businesses. Management's
Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The
discussion of the Consolidated Statement of Income should be read in conjunction
with the Supplemental Statistics provided on page 45.
Prior to December 31, 2001, Marathon had two outstanding classes of
common stock: USX-Marathon Group common stock (Marathon Stock), which was
intended to reflect the performance of Marathon's energy business, and USX-U. S.
Steel Group common stock (Steel Stock), which was intended to reflect the
performance of Marathon's steel business. On December 31, 2001, Marathon
disposed of its steel business by distributing the common stock of its wholly
owned subsidiary United States Steel Corporation (United States Steel) to
holders of Steel Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Steel Stock on
a one-for-one basis (the Separation).
Certain sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis include
forward-looking statements concerning trends or events potentially affecting
Marathon. These statements typically contain words such as "anticipates",
"believes", "estimates", "expects" or similar words indicating that future
outcomes are uncertain. In accordance with "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these statements are
accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not
necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ
materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. For
additional risk factors affecting the businesses of Marathon, see the
information preceding Part I in the Marathon 2001 Form 10-K and subsequent
filings.
New Accounting Standards
------------------------
Since the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No.
133), the FASB has issued several interpretations. As a result, Marathon has
recognized in income beginning on January 1, 2002, the effect of changes in the
fair value of two long-term natural gas sales contracts in the United Kingdom
(U.K.). As of January 1, 2002, Marathon recognized a favorable cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle of $13 million, net of tax of $7 million.
The unfavorable pretax change in the fair value of the gas contracts during the
first nine months of 2002 was $9 million. The recorded derivative assets will
continue to be marked-to-market. Marathon expects to experience some volatility
in earnings as a result of these interpretations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS No. 143).
This statement requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Marathon
will adopt this statement effective January 1, 2003, as required. The adoption
of this statement will result in a cumulative effect and be reported as a change
in accounting principle relating primarily to the abandonment of oil and gas
producing facilities. Marathon expects that the cumulative effect adjustment
will be favorable and that the effect on future earnings will be unfavorable.
However, Marathon cannot reasonably quantify the effect of adoption on either
its financial position or results of operations at this time.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS No. 145). Extinguishment
of debt will be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 145 has a dual effective date. The
provisions relating to accounting for leases were applicable to transactions
occurring after May 15, 2002. The provisions relating to the early
extinguishment of debt will be adopted by Marathon on January 1, 2003. As a
result, losses from the early extinguishment of debt in 2002, which are
currently reported as extraordinary items, will be reported in income from
continuing operations in comparative financial statements subsequent to the
adoption of SFAS No. 145.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146 "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS No. 146).
SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are
initiated after December 31, 2002.

E&P segment revenues decreased by $100 million in the third quarter of
2002 from the comparable prior-year period. This decrease primarily reflected
lower worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas volumes and losses from
derivative activities, partially offset by higher liquid hydrocarbon prices. For
the first nine months of 2002, revenues decreased by $917 million from the
prior-year period. This decrease primarily reflected lower worldwide natural gas
and liquid hydrocarbon prices and lower domestic liquid hydrocarbon volumes,
partially offset by higher international liquid hydrocarbon volumes.
RM&T segment revenues in the third quarter of 2002 were flat with the
comparable prior-year period. For the first nine months of 2002, revenues
decreased by $2,191 million from the prior-year period. The decrease in the
first nine months primarily reflected lower refined product prices.

decreased by $2,013 million from the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in
the third quarter was due primarily to lower refined product margins and lower
liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas volumes. The decrease in the first nine
months was due to lower refined product margins, lower liquid hydrocarbon and
natural gas prices and volumes.
Worldwide E&P segment income decreased $6 million and $622 million in
the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively, compared with the
same periods in 2001, primarily due to the factors discussed below.
Domestic E&P income in the third quarter of 2002 decreased by $20
million from last year's third quarter. Results in the first nine months of 2002
decreased by $549 million from the same period in 2001. The decrease in the
third quarter was primarily due to lower liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas
volumes. The decrease in the first nine months was due primarily to lower liquid
hydrocarbon and natural gas prices and volumes, higher exploratory dry well
expense and decreased derivative gains.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
International E&P income in the third quarter of 2002 increased by $14
million from last year's third quarter. Results in the first nine months of 2002
decreased by $73 million from the same period in 2001. The increase in the third
quarter is a result of the addition of production interests in Equatorial
Guinea, higher liquid hydrocarbon prices and lower transportation costs. This
increase was partially offset by a mark-to-market valuation loss of $21 million
associated with long-term natural gas contracts in the U.K. The decrease in the
first nine months was due primarily to lower natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon
prices, higher dry well expense and higher derivative losses partially offset by
the addition of production interests in Equatorial Guinea and lower
transportation costs. The first nine months of 2002 income includes a $9 million
loss related to changes in the fair value of natural gas sales contracts in the
U.K. (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
RM&T segment income in the third quarter of 2002 decreased by $467
million from last year's third quarter. Results in the first nine months of 2002
decreased by $1,425 million from the same period in 2001. The decrease in
downstream segment income was primarily due to a significantly lower refining
and wholesale marketing margin. The refining and wholesale marketing margin was
lower in the third quarter 2002 compared to the prior year period as crude oil
costs increased more than refined product prices. Continuing narrow price
differentials between sweet and sour crude oil in the third quarter 2002 also
negatively impacted the refining and wholesale marketing margin. The refining
and wholesale marketing margin was severely compressed in the first nine months
of 2002 as refined product prices decreased more than crude oil costs compared
to the prior year period.
OERB segment income in the third quarter of 2002 increased by $23
million from last year's third quarter. Results in the first nine months of 2002
increased by $34 million from the same period in 2001. The increase in the third
quarter reflected a favorable effect of $14 million from increased margins in
our gas marketing activities and mark-to-market valuation changes in derivatives
used to support those activities, earnings of $5 million from Marathon's equity
investment in the Equatorial Guinea methanol plant acquired in 2002, and the
recognition of a $5 million property damage loss in the third quarter 2001 for
an equity investment in an offshore pipeline. The increase for the nine months
was primarily the net result of increased margins in our gas marketing
activities and mark-to-market valuation changes in derivatives used to support
those activities and the aforementioned property damage loss in 2001.
Net interest and other financial costs for the third quarter and the
first nine months of 2002 increased $25 million and $81 million, respectively,
from the comparable 2001 period. These increases were due to higher average
debt levels resulting from acquisitions and the Separation. Also, in the first
nine months of 2001, interest and other financial costs included a favorable
adjustment of $9 million related to prior year taxes.
The minority interest in income of MAP, which represents Ashland's 38
percent ownership interest, decreased $178 million and $512 million in the third
quarter and the first nine months of 2002, respectively, from the comparable
2001 periods, due to lower MAP income as discussed above for the RM&T segment.
The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2002 increased
by $25 million from the comparable 2001 period primarily due to the United
Kingdom's enactment of a supplementary 10 percent tax on profits from North Sea
oil and gas production retroactively effective to April 17, 2002 resulting in a
one-time non cash deferred tax
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

---------------------------------------------
adjustment of $61 million. This increase was partially offset by a $65 million
decrease in 2002 quarterly income before income taxes compared to the same
period in 2001. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2002 was 61%
compared to 39% for the third quarter of 2001. Without the one-time non cash
deferred tax adjustment of $61 million, the effective tax rate for the third
quarter of 2002 would have been 35%.
Discontinued operations in the third quarter and first nine months of
2001 related to the businesses of United States Steel.
Extraordinary loss from early extinguishment of debt in the third
quarter of 2002 was attributable to the $144 million of long-term debt retired,
resulting in a pre-tax extraordinary loss of $12 million ($7 million net of
taxes or $.02 per share). During the first nine months of 2002, Marathon retired
$337 million of long-term debt resulting in a pretax extraordinary loss of $53
million ($33 million net of taxes or $.10 per share.)
The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles of $13
million, net of a tax provision of $7 million in the first nine months of 2002
represents the adoption of recently issued interpretations by the FASB of SFAS
No. 133 in which Marathon must recognize in income the effect of changes in the
fair value of two long term natural gas contracts in the United Kingdom. The $8
million loss, net of a tax benefit of $5 million, in the first nine months of
2001 was an unfavorable transition adjustment related to the adoption of SFAS
No. 133. For further discussion, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Net income for the third quarter and first nine months decreased by $83
million and $909 million, respectively, in 2002 from 2001, primarily reflecting
the factors discussed above.
Dividends to Stockholders
-------------------------
On October 30, 2002, the Marathon Board of Directors (the Board)
declared dividends of 23 cents per share, payable December 10, 2002, to
stockholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2002.
Cash Flows
----------
Net cash provided from operating activities was $1,470 million in the
first nine months of 2002, compared with $2,695 million (from continuing
operations) in the first nine months of 2001. The $1,225 million decrease mainly
reflects the effects of lower refined product margins and lower prices for
liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas.
Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2002 totaled $1,023
million excluding the acquisitions of Equatorial Guinea interests, compared with
$1,020 million in the first nine months of 2001. The $3 million increase mainly
reflected increased spending in the first nine months of 2002 in the OERB
segment offset by decreased spending in the RM&T segment. The increase in the
OERB segment was attributable to the $32 million paid to acquire the right to
deliver and sell liquefied natural gas at terminal facilities located at Elba
Island, near Savannah, Georgia. Marathon can supply up to 58 billion cubic feet
of natural gas per year, for a minimum of 17 years, at the Elba Island LNG
regasification terminal. For information regarding capital expenditures by
segment, refer to the Supplemental Statistics on page 45.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Acquisitions included cash payments of $1,160 million in the first nine
months of 2002 for the two acquisitions of Equatorial Guinea interests and $506
million in the first nine months of 2001 for Pennaco Energy, Inc. (Pennaco). For
further discussion of acquisitions, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Cash from disposal of assets was $94 million in the first nine months
of 2002, compared with $181 million in the first nine months of 2001. In 2002,
proceeds totaling $42 million were from the disposition of certain oil and gas
properties in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico to complete the exchange
transaction described below. Other proceeds in 2002 were primarily the result of
the disposition of certain Speedway SuperAmerica LLC (SSA) stores. Proceeds in
2001 were mainly from the sale of various Canadian oil fields, SSA stores, and
various domestic producing properties.
Net cash provided from financing activities was $430 million in the
first nine months of 2002, compared with net cash used of $962 million in the
first nine months 2001. The increase was due to the financing primarily
associated with the two acquisitions of Equatorial Guinea interests of
approximately $1.2 billion. This was partially offset by the early
extinguishment of debt of $337 million and the $295 million repayment of
preferred securities which became redeemable or were converted to a right to
receive cash upon the Separation. In early January 2002, Marathon paid $185
million to retire the 6.75% Convertible Quarterly Income Preferred Securities
and $110 million to retire the 6.50% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
Additionally, distributions to minority shareholder of MAP were $87 million in
the first nine months of 2002, compared to $450 million in the comparable 2001
period.
Significant noncash activities in the first nine months of 2002
included an asset exchange whereby Marathon acquired additional interests in
coalbed methane assets in the Powder River Basin of northern Wyoming and
southern Montana in exchange for certain oil and gas properties in eastern Texas
and northern Louisiana. Additionally, 100 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) of
long term gas transportation capacity was released to Marathon as part of this
transaction.
Derivative Instruments
----------------------
See Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk for
discussion of derivative instruments and associated market risk.
Debt Ratings
--------------------------------
Marathon's senior unsecured debt is currently rated investment grade by
Standard and Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch
Ratings with ratings of BBB+, Baa1, and BBB+, respectively.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Liquidity
---------
Marathon's main sources of liquidity and capital resources are
internally generated cash flow from operations, committed and uncommitted credit
facilities, and access to both the debt and equity capital markets. Marathon's
ability to access the debt capital market is supported by its investment grade
credit ratings. Because of the liquidity and capital resource alternatives
available to Marathon, including internally generated cash flow, Marathon's
management believes that its short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to
fund operations, including its capital spending program, repayment of debt
maturities for the years 2002, 2003, and 2004, and any amounts that may
ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.
Marathon has a committed $1,354 million long-term revolving credit
facility that terminates in November 2005 and a committed $451 million 364-day
revolving credit facility that terminates in November 2002. At September 30,
2002, there were no borrowings against these facilities. Marathon expects to
renew the 364-day facility at approximately the same size. In April 2002,
Marathon initiated a $1,350 million U.S. commercial paper program which is
backed by the long-term revolving credit facility. $275 million of commercial
paper was outstanding at September 30, 2002. Additionally, at September 30,
2002, Marathon had other uncommitted short-term lines of credit totaling $200
million, of which no amounts were drawn. MAP currently has a committed $350
million short-term revolving credit facility which expires in July 2003.
Additionally, MAP has a $190 million revolving credit agreement with Ashland
which expires in March 2003. As of September 30, 2002, MAP did not have any
borrowings against these facilities.
In early September 2002, Marathon filed a new universal shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering
$2.7 billion aggregate amount of common stock, preferred stock and other equity
securities, debt securities, trust preferred securities and/or other securities,
including securities convertible into or exchangeable for other equity or debt
securities.
In the first nine months of 2002, Marathon issued notes of $1.45
billion as follows: $450 million due 2012, $550 million due 2032 and $450
million due 2007, bearing interest at 6.125%, 6.8% and 5.375%, respectively.
Additionally, Marathon Global Funding Corporation, a 100%-owned consolidated
finance subsidiary of Marathon, issued notes of $400 million due 2012, bearing
interest at 6.0%. Marathon has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
securities of Marathon Global Funding.
Marathon used the net proceeds to fund the purchase price and
associated costs of the CMS Energy and Globex acquisitions, to refinance
existing debt, to reduce outstanding commercial paper and for other general
corporate purposes. The debt repurchased and retired early had average terms to
maturity of between two and 21 years bearing interest at rates ranging from
8.125% to 9.375% per year, or a weighted average of 9.04% per year. The
retirement of $144 million in the third quarter resulted in an extraordinary
loss of $7 million (net of tax of $5 million) or $0.02 per share. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, Marathon retired $337 million of long-term
debt resulting in an extraordinary loss of $33 million (net of tax of $20
million) or $0.10 per share.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Marathon is not dependent on off-balance sheet arrangements to meet its
liquidity and capital resource needs. Marathon has used and may use in the
future off-balance sheet arrangements to fund specific projects. For additional
details of off-balance sheet arrangements, see Liquidity and Capital Resources
on page 38 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contract commitments for property, plant and equipment acquisitions and
long-term investments at September 30, 2002, totaled $664 million compared with
$297 million at December 31, 2001.
Marathon management's opinion concerning liquidity and Marathon's
ability to avail itself in the future of the financing options mentioned in the
above forward-looking statements are based on currently available information.
To the extent that this information changes, future availability of financing
may be adversely affected. Factors that affect the availability of financing
include the performance of Marathon (as measured by various factors including
cash provided from operating activities), the state of worldwide debt and equity
markets, investor perceptions and expectations of past and future performance,
the global financial climate, and, in particular, with respect to borrowings,
the levels of Marathon's outstanding debt and credit ratings by rating agencies.
Obligations Associated with the Separation of United States Steel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Marathon remains obligated (primarily or contingently) for certain debt
and other financial arrangements for which United States Steel has assumed
responsibility for repayment under the terms of the Separation. In the event of
United States Steel's failure to satisfy these obligations, Marathon would
become responsible for repayment. As of September 30, 2002, Marathon has
identified the following obligations totaling $676 million which have been
assumed by United States Steel:
o $470 million of industrial revenue bonds related to environmental
improvement projects for current and former United States Steel
facilities, with maturities ranging from 2009 through 2033. Accrued
interest payable on these bonds was $7 million at September 30, 2002.
o $80 million of sale-leaseback financing under a lease for equipment at
United States Steel's Fairfield Works, with a term extending to 2012,
subject to extensions. Accrued interest payable on this financing was
$2 million at September 30, 2002.
o $97 million of operating lease obligations, of which $83 million was in
turn assumed by purchasers of major equipment used in plants and
operations divested by United States Steel.
o A guarantee of United States Steel's $19 million contingent obligation
to repay certain distributions from its 50%-owned joint venture PRO-TEC
Coating Company.
o A guarantee of all obligations of United States Steel as general
partner of Clairton 1314B Partnership, L.P. to the limited partners.
United States Steel has reported that it currently has no unpaid
outstanding obligations to the limited partners. For further discussion
of the Clairton 1314B guarantee, see Note 13 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
o $1 million under the tax sharing agreement as described below.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Of the total $676 million, obligations of $560 million and
corresponding receivables from United States Steel were recorded on Marathon's
consolidated balance sheet (current portion - $14 million; long-term portion -
$546 million). The remaining $116 million was related to off-balance sheet
arrangements and contingent liabilities of United States Steel.
Each of Marathon and United States Steel, as members of the same
consolidated tax reporting group during taxable periods ended on or prior to
December 31, 2001, is jointly and severally liable for the federal income tax
liability of the entire consolidated tax reporting group for those periods.
Marathon and United States Steel have entered into a tax sharing agreement which
allocates tax liabilities relating to taxable periods ended on or prior to
December 31, 2001. To address the possibility that the taxing authorities may
seek to collect a tax liability from one party where the tax sharing agreement
allocates that liability to the other party, the agreement includes
indemnification provisions.
United States Steel reported in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 2002, that it has significant restrictive covenants related
to its indebtedness including cross-default and cross-acceleration clauses on
selected debt which could have an adverse effect on its financial position and
liquidity. However, United States Steel management believes that its liquidity
will be adequate to satisfy its obligations for the foreseeable future. If there
is a prolonged delay in the recovery of the manufacturing sector of the U.S.
economy, United States Steel believes that it can maintain adequate liquidity
through a combination of deferral of nonessential capital spending, sale of
non-strategic assets and other cash conservation measures.
Environmental Matters
---------------------
Marathon has incurred and will continue to incur substantial capital,
operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of
environmental laws and regulations. To the extent these expenditures, as with
all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of Marathon's products and
services, operating results will be adversely affected. Marathon believes that
substantially all of its competitors are subject to similar environmental laws
and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary
depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its
operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether or not
it is engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of
crude oil and refined products.
Marathon has been notified that it is a potentially responsible party
(PRP) at 11 waste sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as of September 30, 2002. In addition,
there are three sites where Marathon has received information requests or other
indications that Marathon may be a PRP under CERCLA but where sufficient
information is not presently available to confirm the existence of liability. At
many of these sites, Marathon is one of a number of parties involved and the
total cost of remediation, as well as Marathon's share thereof, is frequently
dependent upon the outcome of investigations and remedial studies. There are
also 103 additional sites, excluding retail marketing outlets, related to
Marathon where remediation is being sought under other environmental statutes,
both federal and state, or where private parties are seeking remediation
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
through discussions or litigation. Of these sites, 16 were associated with
properties conveyed to MAP by Ashland for which Ashland has retained liability
for all costs associated with remediation. Marathon accrues for environmental
remediation activities when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the
amount of associated costs is reasonably determinable. As environmental
remediation matters proceed toward ultimate resolution or as additional
remediation obligations arise, charges in excess of those previously accrued may
be required. (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
New or expanded environmental requirements, which could increase
Marathon's environmental costs, may arise in the future. Marathon intends to
comply with all legal requirements regarding the environment, but since many of
them are not fixed or presently determinable (even under existing legislation)
and may be affected by future legislation, it is not possible to predict
accurately the ultimate cost of compliance, including remediation costs which
may be incurred and penalties which may be imposed. However, based on presently
available information, and existing laws and regulations as currently
implemented, Marathon does not anticipate that environmental compliance
expenditures (including operating and maintenance and remediation) will
materially increase in 2002.
Marathon's environmental capital expenditures are expected to be
approximately $122 million in 2002. Based upon currently identified projects,
Marathon anticipates that environmental capital expenditures will be
approximately $157 million in 2003; however, actual expenditures may vary as the
number and scope of environmental projects are revised as a result of improved
technology or changes in regulatory requirements and could increase if
additional projects are identified or additional requirements are imposed.
New Tier II gasoline rules, which were finalized by the EPA in February
2000, and the diesel fuel rules, which were finalized in January 2001, require
substantially reduced sulfur levels for gasoline and diesel. The combined
capital costs to achieve compliance with the gasoline and diesel regulations
could amount to approximately $850 million, which includes costs that could be
incurred as part of other refinery upgrade projects, between 2002 and 2006. This
is a forward-looking statement. Some factors (among others) that could
potentially affect gasoline and diesel fuel compliance costs include obtaining
the necessary construction and environmental permits, operating and logistical
considerations, further refinement of preliminary engineering studies and
project scopes, and unforeseen hazards.
During 2001 MAP entered into a New Source Review consent decree and
settlement of alleged Clean Air Act and other violations with the EPA covering
all of MAP's refineries. The settlement committed MAP to specific control
technologies and implementation schedules for environmental expenditures and
improvements to MAP's refineries over approximately an eight year period. The
current estimated cost to complete these programs is approximately $300 million
in expenditures over the next six years.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
MAP has used MTBE as an octane enhancer and oxygenate in reformulated
gasoline to comply with applicable laws for many years. The maximum amount of
MTBE in gasoline is limited to 15% by volume. Approximately 7% of MAP's 2001
gasoline production contained MTBE. MAP had three MTBE units at its refineries
in Detroit, Robinson and Catlettsburg with a relatively immaterial combined book
value. Because several states in MAP's marketing area have passed laws banning
MTBE as a gasoline component in the future, MAP decided in the first quarter of
2002 to begin to phase out production of MTBE and to reduce the remaining
estimated useful life of the MTBE units. MTBE production was discontinued in
October 2002, by which time the MTBE units were fully depreciated.
Other Contingencies
-------------------
Marathon is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or
threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of
matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. The
ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the
aggregate, be material to Marathon. However, management believes that Marathon
will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that
these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably to Marathon. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Liquidity".
MAP has instituted a number of process and facility modifications at
its Catlettsburg refinery to correct the operating conditions that led to a
product quality issue earlier this year. MAP has been working with some regional
gasoline jobbers and dealers since August to remedy certain product quality
issues in gasoline produced at this refinery. As a part of its response to the
situation, MAP has inspected a large number of retail, terminal and
transportation facilities, and is systematically cleaning facilities that may
have been impacted.
Credit Risk
-----------
Marathon is exposed to credit risk in the form of possible nonpayment
by customers and trading partners. A significant portion of this risk is
concentrated in energy related businesses. The creditworthiness of customers and
trading partners is subject to continuing review. When deemed appropriate,
Marathon requires prepayment or letters of credit to secure credit exposure.
Additionally, netting agreements are utilized to reduce exposures to firms with
both receivables and payables. Marathon has in the past and continues to conduct
business with the so-called "energy merchant" firms. Many of these firms have
seen their credit ratings deteriorate during 2002. As a result, Marathon has
reduced its exposure to these entities. In some cases security has been
requested and, in other cases, all business activity has been stopped. Marathon
estimates its aggregate net exposure to energy merchant companies to be less
than $20 million with no individual company exposure greater than $10 million.
Marathon has significant exposures to United States Steel arising from
the separation. Those exposures are discussed in "Obligations Associated with
the Separation of United States Steel".
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Outlook
-------
The outlook regarding Marathon's E&P segment revenues and income is
largely dependent upon future prices and volumes of liquid hydrocarbons and
natural gas. Prices have historically been volatile and have frequently been
affected by unpredictable changes in supply and demand resulting from
fluctuations in worldwide economic activity and political developments in the
world's major oil and gas producing and consuming regions. Any significant
decline in prices could have a material adverse effect on Marathon's results of
operations. A prolonged decline in such prices could also adversely affect the
quantity of crude oil and natural gas reserves that can be economically produced
and the amount of capital available for exploration and development.
Marathon estimates its 2003 and 2004 production will average
approximately 390,000 to 395,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). This
compares to estimated 2002 production of approximately 413,000 BOEPD. The 2003
production forecast is less than expected due to project delays in Norway, as
well as slower response time for new production in the Powder River Basin.
Production for 2004 is less than the previous forecast of 430,000 to 435,000
boepd, due primarily to delayed production response in the Powder River Basin,
permitting delays for the onshore facility associated with the Corrib field off
the west coast of Ireland, and uncertainty regarding the development of the
Ozona deepwater discovery in the Gulf of Mexico. This production revision is
expected to negatively impact 2003 and 2004 earnings by approximately $.03 and
$.10 per share, respectively, based on Marathon's forecast assumptions.
Marathon continues to project an increase in its proven reserve base to
approximately 1.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent by the end of 2004.
On October 23, 2002, Marathon announced the Camden Hills field in the
ultra-deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico began producing natural gas in 7,209 feet
of water. The development, located in Mississippi Canyon Block 348 approximately
150 miles southeast of New Orleans, is the deepest field in the recently
completed Canyon Express gas gathering system that links the Camden Hills,
Aconcagua and Kings Peak fields. Marathon holds a 50 percent interest in Camden
Hills and serves as operator.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, Marathon plans to commence drilling
operations on three deepwater wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Marathon plans to
drill or participate in four additional wells in the Gulf of Mexico in 2003 and
2004.
Other major upstream activities, which are currently underway or under
evaluation, include:
o Norway, where Marathon has interests in nine licenses in the Norwegian
sector of the North Sea;
o Alaska, where Marathon had a natural gas discovery on the Ninilchik
Unit on the Kenai Peninsula with additional drilling planned in 2002;
o Angola, where Marathon participated in the drilling of the successful
Plutao exploration well on Block 31 and is currently participating in
the drilling of the Gindungo well on Block 32. Marathon plans to
participate in three or four additional exploration wells in this area
during 2003;
o Eastern Canada, where Marathon recently completed drilling the
Annapolis G-24 well and expects to drill one or two additional
exploration wells and gather extensive 3D seismic over two additional
blocks in the area during 2003; and
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION

o Equatorial Guinea, where a government approved expansion plan is
underway to boost gas production from 250 to approximately 800 MMCFD in
order to increase condensate production from 17,000 to approximately
46,000 gross barrels per day (BPD) by the fourth quarter of 2003. The
additional gas production will be reinjected into the reservoir.
Marathon is also finalizing plans to increase liquid petroleum gas
(LPG) production by late 2004 through the expansion of existing LPG
facilities from approximately 2,700 to 16,000 BPD.
Marathon has proposed plans for a major liquefied natural gas (LNG)
re-gasification and power generation complex near Tijuana in the Mexican State
of Baja California. The proposed complex would consist of a LNG marine terminal,
an off-loading terminal, onshore LNG re-gasification facilities, water
desalinization plant, wastewater treatment facilities and pipeline
infrastructure necessary to transport the natural gas. Additionally, a 1,000
megawatt natural gas-fired power generation plant would be constructed on the
site. Potential completion and start-up is projected for 2005.
In the North Sea, the Symphony natural gas pipeline project, another
key component of Marathon's integrated gas strategy, recently conducted an open
season for prospective shippers on this pipeline that is designed to transport
gas from the UK and Norwegian North Sea to southern England. Based upon input
from prospective shippers, Marathon will continue discussions with interested
parties in evaluating the best transportation alternatives to bring Norwegian
gas to the U.K. utilizing Marathon's Brae infrastructure.
On October 1, 2002, Marathon announced the signing of a letter of
intent with Rosneft Oil Company to participate in Urals North American
Marketing, a venture that would transport and market Urals crude to the North
American market. The venture is subject to the signing of definitive agreements
and obtaining necessary U.S. and Russian government approvals. Expected start-up
would be in the third quarter of 2003.
The above discussion includes forward-looking statements with respect
to the timing and levels of Marathon's worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and natural
gas production, the exploration drilling program, additional resources, and the
planned construction of LNG and pipeline facilities. Some factors that could
potentially affect worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production and
the exploration drilling program include acts of war or terrorist acts and the
governmental or military response, pricing, supply and demand for petroleum
products, amount of capital available for exploration and development,
occurrence of acquisitions/dispositions of oil and gas properties, regulatory
constraints, timing of commencing production from new wells, drilling rig
availability and other geological, operating and economic considerations. The
forward-looking information related to reserve additions is based on certain
assumptions, including, among others, presently known physical data concerning
size and character of reservoirs, economic recoverability, technology
development, future drilling success, production experience, industry economic
conditions, levels of cash flow from operations and operating conditions.
Factors that could impact the transporting and marketing of Urals crude to the
North American market include the inability or delay in obtaining necessary
government and third-party approvals, unforeseen difficulty in the negotiation
of definitive agreements among project participants, arranging sufficient
project financing, unanticipated changes in market demand or supply, competition
with similar projects and environmental and permitting issues. Some factors that
could affect the planned construction of the LNG re-gasification, power
generation and related facilities, as well as the North Sea pipeline
transportation and related facilities, include, but are not limited to,

unforeseen difficulty in the negotiation of definitive agreements among project
participants, identification of additional participants to reach optimum levels
of participation, inability or delay in obtaining necessary government and
third-party approvals, arranging sufficient project financing, unanticipated
changes in market demand or supply, competition with similar projects and
environmental and permitting issues. Additionally, the LNG project could be
impacted by the availability or construction of sufficient LNG vessels. The
foregoing factors (among others) could cause actual results to differ materially
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Marathon's RM&T segment income is largely dependent upon the refining
and wholesale marketing margin for refined products, the retail gross margin for
gasoline and distillates, and the gross margin on retail merchandise sales. The
refining and wholesale marketing margin reflects the difference between the
wholesale selling prices of refined products and the cost of raw materials
refined, purchased product costs and manufacturing expenses. Refining and
wholesale marketing margins have been historically volatile and vary with the
level of economic activity in the various marketing areas, the regulatory
climate, the seasonal pattern of certain product sales, crude oil costs,
manufacturing costs, the available supply of crude oil and refined products, and
logistical constraints. The retail gross margin for gasoline and distillates
reflects the difference between the retail selling prices of these products and
their wholesale cost, including secondary transportation. Retail gasoline and
distillate margins have also been historically volatile, but tend to be
countercyclical to the refining and wholesale marketing margin. Factors
affecting the retail gasoline and distillate margin include seasonal demand
fluctuations, the available wholesale supply, the level of economic activity in
the marketing areas and weather situations that impact driving conditions. The
gross margin on retail merchandise sales tends to be less volatile than the
retail gasoline and distillate margin. Factors affecting the gross margin on
retail merchandise sales include consumer demand for merchandise items and the
level of economic activity in the marketing area.
At its Catlettsburg, Kentucky refinery, MAP has initiated a multi-year
integrated investment program to upgrade product yield realizations and reduce
fixed and variable manufacturing expenses. This program involves the expansion,
conversion and retirement of certain refinery processing units which, in
addition to improving profitability, will reduce the refinery's total gasoline
pool sulfur below 30 ppm, thereby eliminating the need for low sulfur gasoline
compliance investments at the refinery. The project is expected to be completed
in late 2003.
A MAP subsidiary, Ohio River Pipe Line LLC (ORPL), is building a
pipeline from Kenova, West Virginia to Columbus, Ohio. ORPL is a common carrier
pipeline company and the pipeline will be an interstate common carrier pipeline.
The pipeline is currently known as Cardinal Products Pipe Line and is expected
to initially move about 50,000 barrels per day of refined petroleum into the
central Ohio region. As of June 2002, ORPL had secured all of the rights-of-way
required to build the pipeline, and on August 2, 2002, the final permits
required to build the pipeline were approved. Construction began in August 2002
and start-up of the pipeline is expected to follow in the first half of 2003.
On October 30, 2002, MAP announced its 50 percent-owned Pilot Travel
Centers LLC (PTC) has signed a definitive agreement to purchase 60 retail travel
centers including fuel inventory, merchandise and supplies. The 60 locations are
in 15 states, primarily in the Midwest, Southeast and the Southwest regions of
the country. Subject to governmental approval, the transaction is expected to
close in approximately 60 days.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
The above discussion includes forward-looking statements with respect
to the Catlettsburg refinery, the Cardinal Products Pipe Line system and the PTC
definitive agreement. Some factors that could potentially cause the actual
results from the Catlettsburg investment program to differ materially from
current expectations include the price of petroleum products, levels of cash
flows from operations, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, the
completion of construction and regulatory approval constraints. Factors that
could impact the Cardinal Products Pipe Line include completion of construction
and resolution of pending litigation. Some factors that could affect the PTC
acquisition include inability or delay in obtaining necessary government and
third-party approvals, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. These
factors (among others) could cause actual results to differ materially from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
On August 6, 2002, Marathon announced it will begin expensing the fair
value of employee stock options on January 1, 2003. Marathon will adopt
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). Under this methodology, stock options will be
valued by using an option-pricing model, which expenses stock option grants over
the vesting period. Currently, Marathon accounts for stock options using the
principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25). Based upon this change, and assuming the
number of stock options granted in 2003 approximates the number of those granted
in 2002, the estimated impact on Marathon's 2003 earnings would not be
materially different than under APB No. 25.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
------------------------------------
Management Opinion Concerning Derivative Instruments
----------------------------------------------------
Management has authorized the use of futures, forwards, swaps and
options to manage exposure to market fluctuations related to commodities,
interest rates, and foreign currency.
Marathon uses commodity-based derivatives to manage price risk related
to the purchase, production or sale of crude oil, natural gas, and refined
products. To a lesser extent, Marathon is exposed to the risk of price
fluctuations on natural gas liquids and on petroleum feedstocks used as raw
materials.
The approach of Marathon`s E&P segment to the use of commodity
derivative instruments is selective and opportunistic. When it is deemed to be
advantageous, Marathon may lock-in market prices on portions of its future
production.
Marathon's RM&T segment uses commodity derivative instruments to
mitigate the price risk associated with crude oil and other feedstocks, to
protect carrying values of inventories and to protect margins on fixed-price
sales of refined products.
Marathon's other energy related businesses are exposed to market risk
associated with the purchase and subsequent resale of natural gas. Marathon uses
commodity derivative instruments to mitigate the price risk on purchased volumes
and anticipated sales volumes.
As market conditions change, Marathon evaluates its risk management
program and could enter into strategies that assume market risk whereby cash
settlement of commodity-based derivatives will be based on market prices.
From time to time, Marathon uses financial derivative instruments to
manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. As Marathon enters into
derivatives, assessments are made as to the qualification of each transaction
for hedge accounting.
Management believes that use of derivative instruments along with risk
assessment procedures and internal controls does not expose Marathon to material
risk. However, the use of derivative instruments could materially affect
Marathon's results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.
Management believes that use of these instruments will not have a material
adverse effect on financial position or liquidity.
Commodity Price Risk and Related Risks
--------------------------------------
Marathon's strategy has generally been to obtain competitive prices for
its products and allow operating results to reflect market price movements
dictated by supply and demand. As part of achieving Marathon's strategy, certain
fixed-priced physical contracts are hedged using derivative instruments that
assume market risk. Marathon will use a variety of derivative instruments,
including option combinations, as part of the overall risk management program to
manage commodity price risk within its different businesses.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-----------------------------
Sensitivity analysis of the incremental effects on pretax income of
hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent changes in commodity prices for open
derivative commodity instruments are provided in the following table(a):
Incremental Decrease in
Income Before Income Taxes
Assuming a Hypothetical
Price Change of:(a)

Refined products(d)......................... 3.7(e) 12.4(e)
(a) Amounts adjusted to reflect Marathon's 62 percent ownership of MAP.
Marathon remains at risk for possible changes in the market value of
derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price
changes in the underlying hedged item. Effects of these offsets are not
reflected in the sensitivity analysis. Amounts reflect hypothetical 10%
and 25% changes in closing commodity prices for each open contract
position at September 30, 2002. Marathon management evaluates its
portfolio of derivative commodity instruments on an ongoing basis and
adds or revises strategies to reflect anticipated market conditions and
changes in risk profiles. Marathon is also exposed to credit risk in the
event of nonperformance by counterparties. The creditworthiness of
counterparties is subject to continuing review, including the use of
master netting agreements to the extent practical. Changes to the
portfolio subsequent to September 30, 2002, would cause future pretax
income effects to differ from those presented in the table.
(b) Net open contracts for the combined E&P and OERB segments varied
throughout third quarter 2002, from a low of 30,201 contracts at August
16, to a high of 38,164 contracts at September 19, and averaged 34,684
for the quarter. The number of net open contracts for the RM&T segment
varied throughout third quarter 2002, from a low of 12 contracts at
August 2, to a high of 11,916 contracts at September 24, and averaged
4,313 for the quarter. The net open contracts represent 100% of MAP's
positions. The derivative commodity instruments used and hedging
positions taken will vary and, because of these variations in the
composition of the portfolio over time, the number of open contracts by
itself cannot be used to predict future income effects.
(c) Gains and losses on options are based on changes in intrinsic value
only.
(d) The direction of the price change used in calculating the sensitivity
amount for each commodity reflects that which would result in the
largest incremental decrease in pretax income when applied to the
derivative commodity instruments used to hedge that commodity.

E&P Segment
Marathon uses derivative instruments in its E&P segment to mitigate the
price risk associated with equity production of crude oil and natural gas. As of
September 30, 2002, Marathon has entered into zero-cost collar options on
approximately 30% of its remaining forecasted 2002 worldwide equity liquids
production. These collars have been structured so that on average Marathon will
receive the following:
o When prices are below $19.34, market price plus $4 per barrel;
o $23.34 when prices are between $19.34 and $23.34;
o Market price when prices are between $23.34 and $29.35; and
o No participation in market price movements above $29.35.
The above-mentioned strategy is being marked-to-market and is reflected in
income for the period.
As of September 30, 2002, Marathon has entered into zero-cost collar
options and other derivative instruments on approximately 30% of its remaining
forecasted 2002 worldwide equity natural gas production. In one of the more
significant strategies, Marathon has placed derivatives on 177 MMCFD at an
average of $4.33 per MCF for the balance of 2002 relating to the Powder River
Basin area. A portion of the above-mentioned strategy is being marked-to-market
and is reflected in income for the period due to loss of hedge effectiveness.
The balance qualifies for hedge accounting. Marathon has also entered into a
zero-cost collar on 200 MMCFD through December 2002, whereby Marathon will
receive up to $4.48 per MCF but no less than $3.19 per MCF. This strategy is
being marked-to-market and is reflected in income for the period.
As of September 30, 2002, Marathon has entered into zero-cost collars
on 145 MMCFD of natural gas for January through December 2003, whereby Marathon
will receive up to an average $4.64 per MCF but no less than an average $3.64
per MCF. Of the 145 MMCFD, 133 MMCFD currently qualify for hedge accounting.
Additionally, Marathon has also entered into zero-cost collars on 25,000 BPD of
oil for January through December 2003, whereby Marathon will receive up to an
average $28.54 per BBL but no less than an average $23.01 per BBL. 19,000 BPD
qualify for hedge accounting. The remaining oil and gas volumes are being
marked-to-market and included in income.
Total net pretax derivative gains for the E&P segment were $9 million
and $51 million for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gains
of $23 million from discontinued cash flow hedges for the first nine months of
2002 are included in the aforementioned amounts. These gains were reclassified
from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as it is no longer probable
that the original forecasted transactions will occur.
RM&T Segment
Marathon's RM&T operations generally use derivative commodity
instruments to lock-in costs of certain crude oil and other feedstocks, to
protect carrying values of inventories and to protect margins on fixed-price
sales of refined products. Total net pretax derivative losses, net of the 38
percent minority interest in MAP, were $54 million for the first nine months
2002 compared with gains of $57 million for the first nine months 2001. RM&T's
trading activity gains and losses were not significant for the first nine months
2002 and 2001.
MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-----------------------------
OERB Segment
Marathon has sold forward a specified volume of natural gas. Marathon
has used derivatives to convert the fixed price in this contract to market
prices. The underlying physical contract matures in 2008. Marathon generally
will use derivative instruments to assume market risk on these contracts. In
addition, Marathon uses fixed-price physical contracts for portions of its
purchase for resale volumes to manage exposure to fluctuations in natural gas
prices. Total net pretax derivative losses were $1 million and $29 million for
the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Other Commodity Related Risks
-----------------------------
Marathon is subject to basis risk, caused by factors that affect the
relationship between commodity futures prices reflected in derivative commodity
instruments and the cash market price of the underlying commodity. Natural gas
transaction prices are frequently based on industry reference prices that may
vary from prices experienced in local markets. For example, New York Mercantile
Exchange (NYMEX) contracts for natural gas are priced at Louisiana's Henry Hub,
while the underlying quantities of natural gas may be produced and sold in the
Western United States at prices that do not move in strict correlation with
NYMEX prices. To the extent that commodity price changes in one region are not
reflected in other regions, derivative commodity instruments may no longer
provide the expected hedge, resulting in increased exposure to basis risk. These
regional price differences could yield favorable or unfavorable results. OTC
transactions are being used to manage exposure to a portion of basis risk.
Marathon is subject to liquidity risk, caused by timing delays in
liquidating contract positions due to a potential inability to identify a
counterparty willing to accept an offsetting position. Due to the large number
of active participants, liquidity risk exposure is relatively low for
exchange-traded transactions.
Interest Rate Risk

interest rate swap agreements, this assumes a 10% decrease in the effective
swap rate at September 30, 2002.

MARATHON OIL CORPORATION
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-----------------------------
At September 30, 2002, Marathon's portfolio of long-term debt was
substantially comprised of fixed-rate instruments. Therefore, the fair value of
the portfolio is relatively sensitive to effects of interest rate fluctuations.
This sensitivity is illustrated by the $194 million increase in the fair value
of long-term debt assuming a hypothetical 10 percent decrease in interest rates.
However, Marathon's sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding
increases in the fair value of its debt portfolio would unfavorably affect
Marathon's results and cash flows only to the extent that Marathon would elect
to repurchase or otherwise retire all or a portion of its fixed-rate debt
portfolio at prices above carrying value.
Marathon has initiated a program to manage its exposure to interest
rate movements by utilizing financial derivative instruments. The primary
objective of this program is to reduce the Company's overall cost of borrowing
by managing the fixed and floating interest rate mix of the debt portfolio.
Beginning in the third quarter 2002, Marathon entered into several interest
rate swap agreements, designated as fair value hedges, which effectively
resulted in an exchange of existing obligations to pay fixed interest rates for
obligations to pay floating rates. The following table summarizes our interest
rate swap activity as of September 30 and November 14, 2002:
As of September 30, 2002

During the first nine months of 2002, Marathon entered into U.S.
Treasury Rate lock agreements to hedge pending issuances of new debt. The U.S.
Treasury Rate lock agreements, which were designated and effective as cash flow
hedges, were settled for a net of $14 million concurrent with the issuance of
the new debt. The $9 million, net of tax, unrecognized loss is being
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net interest
and other financial cost over the life of the new debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
-----------------------------------
As of September 30, 2002, the discussion of foreign currency exchange
rate risk has not changed materially from that presented in Quantitative and

Part II - Other Information:

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Cajun Express Arbitration
In September, 2002, Marathon settled its pending arbitration with Transocean
Sedco Forex Inc. arising from Marathon's cancellation of the Cajun Express rig
contract on July 5, 2001. Transocean's July 19, 2001 demand for arbitration
sought net lost revenue of an unspecified amount. The contract may have
generated $90 million in gross revenues over the remainder of the 18 month
period. The settlement terms included payment of a portion of the disputed claim
resulting in a $9 million after-tax loss.
Environmental Proceedings
On December 3, 2001, Illinois EPA (IEPA) issued a Notice of Violation to MAP
arising out of the sinking of a floating roof on a storage tank at a
Martinsville, Illinois facility. A heavy rainfall caused the floating roof to
sink. MAP believes it may have an Act of God/emergency defense. Based upon
discussions with IEPA, MAP expects the matter to be referred to the Illinois
Attorney General's office for enforcement proceedings.
In March, 2002, MAP attended a meeting with the Illinois EPA concerning MAP's
self reporting of possible emission exceedences and permitting issues related to
some storage tanks at MAP's Robinson, Illinois facility. In late April, MAP
submitted to IEPA a comprehensive settlement proposal which was rejected by
IEPA. We have had subsequent discussions with IEPA and the Illinois Attorney
General's office and anticipate additional meetings and discussions in the
coming months.
