2014 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Statoil’s third quarter 2014 operating and financial review

Statoil's third quarter 2014 net operating income was NOK 17.0 billion, a decrease from NOK 39.3 billion in the third quarter of 2013. Net income was negative NOK 4.8 billion mainly due to impairments. Adjusted earnings were NOK 30.9 billion, a decrease from NOK 40.4 billion in the third quarter of 2013.

“Statoil’s quarterly earnings were negatively impacted by lower oil and gas prices and our decision to defer gas sales to enhance value. Our negative net income in accordance with IFRS relates to quarter-specific items. We delivered strong operational performance and cash generation in the quarter,” says Eldar Sætre, Statoil's acting president and CEO.

“We are progressing well on our efficiency improvement program. We continued to produce with high regularity on the Norwegian continental shelf and execute our projects as planned, remaining on track for our 2014 production guiding,” says Sætre.

Statoil’s adjusted earnings were NOK 30.9 billion in the third quarter. The decrease from the third quarter of 2013 was mainly a result of lower oil and gas prices, reduced ownership share from divestments, higher depreciation due to investments in producing assets, new fields coming on stream and a larger share of oil in the production mix.

Statoil’s reported net income for the third quarter in accordance with IFRS was negative NOK 4.8 billion due to quarter specific accounting charges of NOK 13.5 billion. These charges were mainly related to an impairment of the Kai Kos Dehseh asset in Canada, triggered by the postponement of the Corner field development, as well as impairments of exploration assets in the Gulf of Mexico and Angola. In line with practice to reflect the underlying performance, certain quarter-specific items are not included in the adjusted earnings.

"Our cash flow from operations so far this year is NOK 168 billion before tax. We have a strong balance sheet, and will pay a dividend of NOK 1.80 per share for the quarter," says Sætre. At the end of the quarter, Statoil’s net debt to capital employed was 19%. Organic capital expenditure was around USD 15 billion year-to-date, and the guidance of around USD 20 billion for 2014 remains.

Statoil delivered production of 1,829 mboe per day in the third quarter. This is around the same level as in the third quarter of 2013, despite expected natural decline, reduced ownership share from divestments and lower gas off-take on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). High production efficiency, as well as start-up and ramp-up of production, contributed positively to the production. Production guidance for the year is re-iterated, despite a deliberate choice to produce less gas during the summer.

The board of directors appointed Eldar Sætre as acting president and CEO on 15 October. "Statoil’s strategy remains firm. Safe and efficient operations are our top priorities, and we continue developing the business according to plan," says Sætre. Statoil’s board of directors has established a sub-committee which has started the search for Statoil’s next CEO.

Statoil made strong progress on project development and execution. The company started production on the two North Sea fast-track projects Fram H-North and Svalin C; successfully installed the Valemon platform in the North Sea; put a new compressor in operation on the Kvitebjørn field in the North Sea, to increase recovery by 220 mmboe; and started the Kristin low pressure production, yielding 160 additional mmboe.

Statoil also delivered on strategic portfolio management to realise value and strengthen flexibility. Statoil announced transactions of more than USD 3.5 billion in the quarter, including divestment of NCS assets and a sale of Shah Deniz in Azerbaijan. Since 2010, Statoil has announced more than USD 23 billion in proceeds from transactions and delivered around USD 12 billion in gains.

Also, in October Statoil continued its exploration progress, announcing its seventh natural gas discovery offshore Tanzania. This brings the total of in-place volumes up to approximately 21 tcf in block 2, adding gas volumes for a future large-scale gas infrastructure development. Statoil also recently proved new high-value oil resources of 30-80 mmboe in the Grane area in the North Sea.

The serious incident frequency (SIF) was 0.8 in the third quarter of 2014, unchanged from the third quarter 2013.

Statoil 3rd quarter 2014 2

THIRD QUARTER 2014 GROUP REVIEW

Operational performance in the quarter was solid. Results for the third quarter were impacted by reduced oil and gas prices and impairment losses.

Total equity liquids and gas production [4] was 1,829 mboe per day, at the same level as in third quarter of 2013 despite expected natural decline, reduced ownership shares from divestments and lower gas off-take on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). Start-up and ramp-up of production on various fields and lower maintenance activity partly offset the decrease.

Total entitlement liquids and gas production [3] was down 2% to 1,626 mboe per day, impacted by the decrease in equity production as described above and a lower negative effect from production sharing agreements (PSA effect).

Net operating income (IFRS) was NOK 17.0 billion in the third quarter, a decrease of 57% compared to the third quarter of 2013.

Net operating income in the third quarter 2014 was negatively affected by impairment losses of NOK 13.5 billion in total, mainly relating to the Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands project in Canada triggered by the postponement of the Corner field development and general weakening of market outlooks, impairment of midstream assets due to reduced expectations for future trading activities and impairment of exploration assets, mainly in Angola and in the Gulf of Mexico due to dry wells and uncommercial discoveries.

Net operating income in the third quarter of 2013 was negatively impacted by impairment losses of NOK 6.0 billion and provisions of NOK 4.3 billion mainly related to a redetermination process, while gain on sale of assets of NOK 6.4 billion, eliminations of NOK 1.7 billion and change in fair value of derivatives affected net operating income positively.

Adjusted earnings [5] were NOK 30.9 billion in the third quarter, down 24% compared to the third quarter of 2013 mainly due to lower prices for liquids and gas measured in NOK, reduced gas sales and increased depreciation and operating costs.

The increase in depreciation was mainly due to new investments, start-up and ramp-up of production and a larger share of oil in the production mix in order to optimise value creation. The increase in operating expenses and selling, general & administrative expenses was mainly due to increased gas transportation related to value chain optimisation and other one-off expenses. Lower exploration expenses due to reduced drilling and field development activities partly offset the decrease in adjusted earnings.

Statoil 3rd quarter 2014 3

Adjusted earnings after tax were NOK 9.1 billion, which reflects an effective tax rate on adjusted earnings of 70.6%, compared to an effective tax rate on adjusted earnings of 70.1% in the third quarter of 2013. The tax rate increased mainly due to relatively higher adjusted earnings from the NCS in the third quarter of 2014. Income from the NCS is subject to higher than average tax rates.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were NOK 26.1 billion, a decrease of NOK 14.1 billion compared to the third quarter of 2013, mainly due to changes in working capital items amounting to NOK 13.4 billion.

Cash flows used in investing activities were NOK 17.5 billion, a decrease of NOK 7.3 billion compared to the third quarter of 2013 mainly due to lower investments of NOK 16.1 billion in deposits with more than three months maturity. Investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to NOK 26.2 billion. Proceeds from sale of assets of NOK 2.5 billion in the third quarter of 2014 was mainly related to the divestments of working interests in Angola Block 15/06, Block 39 and in the Dudgeon offshore wind-farm.

Cash flows used in financing activities amounted to NOK 6.6 billion, and were mainly related to the payment of dividends in the third quarter 2014. The amounts reported in 2013 were impacted by a debt issuance of NOK 20.2 billion.

First nine months 2014

Net operating income was NOK 100.4 billion compared to NOK 111.6 billion in the first nine months of 2013.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2014 was negatively affected by impairment losses of total NOK 18.0 billion (mainly the Kai Kos Dehseh oilsands project in Canada and US onshore assets and midstream assets) and losses on several exploration assets. Gain on sale of assets of NOK 6.5 billion (mainly ownership shares in the Shah Deniz project, the Angola assets and the Dudgeon offshore windfarm) and an award payment related to a commercial dispute of NOK 2.8 billion positively affected net operating income in the first nine months.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2013 was negatively impacted mainly by impairments losses of NOK 6.0 billion, a provision related to a redetermination process of NOK 4.3 billion, and an onerous contract provision of NOK 4.9 billion, while gain on sale of assets of NOK 6.4 billion affected net operating income positively.

Adjusted earnings [5] were NOK 109.2 billion in the first nine months of 2014. The 10% decrease compared to the first nine months of 2013 was mainly due to decreased volumes of both liquids and gas, partly offset by higher prices.

Increased depreciation expenses mainly due to new investments and increased production from ramp-up and start-up on various fields, added to the decrease. Also, increased transportation, higher pension cost and other one-off expenses, reduced adjusted earnings in the first nine months of 2014. Adjusted exploration expenses were down 24% mainly due to lower drilling and seismic activity, reduced field development costs and a higher capitalisation rate.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were NOK 99.1 billion, an increase of NOK 12.4 billion compared to the first nine months of 2013. The increase was mainly due to higher prices measured for liquids, and a positive contribution from lower taxes paid, partly offset by changes in working capital.

Cash flows used in investing activities were NOK 75.8 billion, the decrease compared to the first nine months of 2013 was mainly due to lower investments in deposits with more than three months maturity. Investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to NOK 88.2 billion. Proceeds from sale of assets in 2014 amounted to NOK 11.2 billion, which relates mainly to the divestment of interests in the Shah Deniz field and the South Caucasus pipeline.

Cash flows used in financing activities amounted to NOK 29.5 billion, and are mainly related to the payments of dividends in 2014 of NOK 28.0 billion. The amounts reported in 2013 were impacted by a 2013 debt issuance of NOK 37.5 billion.

OUTLOOK

· Organic capital expenditures for 2014 (i.e. excluding acquisitions, capital leases and other investments with significant different cash flow pattern), are estimated at around USD 20 billion.

· Statoil will continue to mature the large portfolio of exploration assets and expects to complete around 50 wells in 2014 with a total exploration activity level at around USD 3.5 billion, excluding signature bonuses.

· Statoil focuses on value creation, and RoACE (Return on Average Capital Employed) is expected to stabilise at the 2013 level, based on an oil price of USD 100 per barrel (real 2013).

· Our ambition is to keep our unit of production cost in the top quartile of our peer group.

· For the period 2013 - 2016 organic production growth [7] is expected to come from new projects resulting in around 3% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) from a 2013 level rebased for divestments and redeterminations. ¹⁾

· The equity production development for 2014 is estimated to be around 2% CAGR from a 2013 level rebased for divestments and redetermination. [7]

· Scheduled maintenance activity is estimated to reduce quarterly production by approximately 25 mboe per day in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily planned outside the NCS, mostly in liquids. In total, the maintenance is estimated to reduce equity production by around 50 mboe per day for the full year 2014, of which the majority is liquids.

· Indicative PSA (Production Sharing Agreement) effect and US royalties are estimated to around 200 mboe per day in 2014 based on an oil price of USD 110 per barrel.

· Deferral of gas production to create future value, gas off-take, timing of new capacity coming on stream and operational regularity represent the most significant risks related to the production guidance.

¹⁾An updated status will be provided on the Capital Markets Update on 6 February 2015.

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION NORWAY

Third quarter 2014 review

Average daily production of liquids and gas decreased by 3% to 1,086 mboe per day compared to the third quarter of 2013. The decrease was mainly due to expected natural decline on mature fields, divestments and lower gas-offtake. The decrease was partly offset by fewer turnarounds, ramp-up of new fields together with higher production regularity compared to the same quarter last year.

Net operating income for Development and Production Norway (DPN) was NOK 24.6 billion compared to NOK 36.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013.

Net operating income in the third quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by gain on sale of assets of NOK 6.4 billion.

Adjusted earnings were NOK 23.2 billion, down 24%. The decrease was mainly due to reduced gas and liquids prices together with reduced gas production. Increase depreciation was mainly due to new investments on major producing fields together with new fields in production. In addition, a larger share of oil in the production mix contributed to the increase. Lower drilling activity reduced exploration expenses.

Third quarter			Adjusted earnings	First nine months			Full year

First nine months 2014

Net operating income for DPN was NOK 82.1 billion compared to NOK 99.9 billion in the first nine months of 2013.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2013 was positively impacted by gain on sale of assets of NOK 6.4 billion, partly offset by provisions of NOK 0.8 billion and losses on changes in fair value of derivatives.

Adjusted earnings [5] were NOK 81.4 billion in the first nine months of 2014, down 16%. The result was impacted by lower production mainly due to divestments and expected natural decline. Lower gas-offtake in order to create future value and lower gas prices added to the decrease. New fields in production together with higher production regularity compared to the same period last year partly offset the decrease.

The increase in depreciation was mainly due to new investments on major producing fields and new fields in production. In addition, higher volumes of deferred gas with a corresponding larger share of oil in the production mix contributed to the increase. Exploration expenses decreased mainly due to lower drilling activity compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Statoil 3rd quarter 2014 6

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION INTERNATIONAL

Third quarter 2014 review

Average equity production of liquids and gas increased by 2% to 743 mboe per day compared to the third quarter of 2013. The increase was mainly due to ramp-up on CLOV (Angola), Marcellus (US) and PSVM (Angola). The increase was partly offset by the farm-down in Shah Deniz and expected natural decline at various fields.

Average daily entitlement production of liquids and gas decreased marginally to 540 mboe per day compared to the third quarter of 2013. Increased equity production and lower negative effect of production sharing agreements (PSA effect) were more than offset by higher negative effect from US royalties. The PSA effect was 166 mboe per day in the third quarter of 2014 compared to 175 mboe per day in the third quarter of 2013.

In the third quarter of 2014, Net operating income for Development and Production International (DPI) was NOK 8.8 billion negative, compared to NOK 0.5 billion in the same period in 2013.

In the third quarter of 2014 net operating income was negatively impacted by impairment losses of NOK 12.1 billion, mainly related to the Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands project of NOK 8.1 billion and impairment of exploration assets of NOK 3.4 billion. A provision for a commercial dispute of NOK 0.7 billion also contributed to the reduction in net operating income. Gain on sale of assets of NOK 0.5 billion partly offset the reduction in net operating income. In the third quarter of 2013 net operating income was negatively impacted by provisions of NOK 4.3 billion and impairment losses of NOK 1.4 billion.

Adjusted earnings were down 44% to NOK 3.5 billion. The decrease was mainly due to lower realised oil and gas prices, partly offset by higher entitlement production. Increased operating expenses mainly driven by onshore activities in the US, and higher depreciation mainly due to increased production from start-up and ramp-up, contributed to the decrease. Lower exploration expenses due to increased capitalisation and a lower portion of exploration expenditures capitalised earlier years being expensed, partly offset the decrease in adjusted earnings.

First nine months 2014

Net operating income for DPI was NOK 5.1 billion compared to NOK 10.3 billion in the first nine months of 2013.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2014 was negatively impacted by impairment losses. The impairment losses were mainly related to Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands project of NOK 8.1 billion, US onshore assets of NOK 5.0 billion together with exploration assets of NOK 3.4 billion. The negative impact was partly offset by gains on sale of assets of NOK 5.8 billion related to the Shah Deniz project and Angola assets.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2013 was negatively impacted by provisions of NOK 4.3 billion together with impairment losses.

Adjusted earnings [5] were NOK 16.7 billion in the first nine months of 2014. The 2% decrease compared to the first nine months of 2013 was mainly caused by higher operating expenses and depreciation driven by production growth. Lower oil and gas prices together with provisions relating to a redetermination process added to this decrease. The decrease was partly offset by higher entitlement production and lower exploration expenses. The decrease in exploration expenses was due to reduced seismic and field development costs together with higher capitalisation.

MARKETING, PROCESSING AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

Third quarter 2014 review

Natural gas sales volumes amounted to 11.1 billion standard cubic meters (bcm), down 17% compared to the third quarter of 2013 mainly due to lower entitlement production on the Norwegian continental shelf and lower third party volumes sold. Of the total gas sales in the third quarter of 2014, entitlement gas amounted to 9.2 bcm compared to 10.0 bcm in the third quarter of 2013.

Average invoiced European natural gas sales price decreased by 21%, mainly due to decrease in market prices related to our gas contract portfolio. Averaged invoiced North American pipe gas sales price decreased by 5%.

Net operating income for Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy (MPR) was NOK 1.8 billion compared to NOK 0.9 billion in the third quarter of 2013.

Net operating income in the third quarter 2014 was impacted by impairment losses of NOK 1.4 billion related to midstream assets due to the reduced expectations of future trading activities. Net operating income in the third quarter of 2013 was impacted by impairment losses of NOK 4.2 billion related to the refineries.

Adjusted earnings were NOK 4.4 billion, compared to NOK 3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2013. The increase is mainly due to stronger refinery margins together with increased margins for the US gas sales, partly offset by lower margins for the European gas sales due to lower sales volumes in addition to lower margins from LNG trading. Increased margins from trading of Gas Liquids are offset by reduced margins from trading of crude and oil products.

Compared to the third quarter of 2013, adjusted operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses reflects higher transport costs due to value chain optimisation. In addition, one-off expenses related to ongoing activity level impacted the expenses in the third quarter this year compared to third quarter of 2013.

First nine months 2014

Net operating income for MPR was NOK 13.4 billion compared to NOK 0.7 billion negative in the first nine months of 2013.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2014 was positively impacted by an income due to the award payment related to a commercial dispute of NOK 2.8 billion and a gain on sale of assets of NOK 0.7 billion. Impairment losses net of reversal of NOK 1.2 billion and a loss on operational storage impacted net operating income negatively.

Net operating income in the first nine months of 2013 was negatively impacted by impairment losses related to the refineries (NOK 4.2 billion) and an onerous contract provision related to the Cove Point terminal (NOK 4.1 billion).

Adjusted earnings [5] were NOK 12.7 billion in the first nine months of 2014. The increase of NOK 5.3 billion compared to the first nine months of 2013 was mainly due to stronger contribution from US gas sales as a result of higher prices, improved margins for gas in Europe and stronger margins from LNG. Further, adjusted earnings increased due to higher margins for liquids as a result of improved overall trading performance, improved refinery margins and increased result related to ownership in infrastructure.

Notes to the condensed interim financial statements

1 Organisation and basis of preparation

General information and organisation

Statoil ASA, originally Den Norske Stats Oljeselskap AS, was founded in 1972 and is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Forusbeen 50, N-4035 Stavanger, Norway.

The Statoil group’s (Statoil's) business consists principally of the exploration, production, transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum and petroleum-derived products. Statoil ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Norway) and the New York Stock Exchange (USA).

All Statoil's oil and gas activities and net assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) are owned by Statoil Petroleum AS, a 100% owned operating subsidiary. Statoil Petroleum AS is co-obligor or guarantor of certain debt obligations of Statoil ASA.

Statoil's condensed interim financial statements for the third quarter of 2014 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 28 October 2014.

Basis of preparation

These condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) for a complete set of financial statements, and these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. IFRSs as adopted by the EU differ in certain respects from IFRSs as issued by the IASB, but the differences do not impact Statoil's financial statements for the periods presented. A description of the significant accounting policies applied is included in the Statoil annual financial statements for 2013 and applies to these condensed interim financial statements.

The condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. Certain amounts in the comparable period have been restated to conform to current period presentation.

The condensed interim financial statements are unaudited.

Changes to significant accounting policies in the first nine months of 2014

Except for the two policy changes described in the following, there have been no other changes to significant accounting policies in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the annual financial statements for 2013.

Natural gas sales made by Statoil subsidiaries on behalf of the Norwegian State

With effect from the first quarter 2014, Statoil changed its policy for the presentation of natural gas sales, and related expenditure, on behalf of the Norwegian State made by Statoil subsidiaries in their own name. Where the subsidiary is considered the principal in the transaction, such gas sales were previously presented gross in the Consolidated statement of income, while the Norwegian State’s share of profit or loss was reflected in Statoil’s Selling, general and administrative expenses as expenses or reduction of expenses, respectively.

With effect from the first quarter 2014, such natural gas sales by Statoil subsidiaries on behalf of the Norwegian State are presented net in the Consolidated statement of income. They are linked to, and in nature no different from, Statoil ASA’s marketing and sale of natural gas in its own name, but for the Norwegian State’s account and risk, which are presented net. Following the change in policy, the assessment of the principal in the transactions and the related presentation of sales for the account and risk of the Norwegian State are determined on a consolidated basis. The revised policy more consistently reflects the sales of natural gas for the account and risk of the Statoil group, excluding transactions on behalf of the Norwegian State, and therefore provides more relevant information.

The changes have been applied retrospectively in these condensed interim financial statements including the notes. The change in accounting policy is immaterial to the Consolidated statement of income for the periods covered by these condensed interim financial statements. There is no impact on Net operating income, Net income, the Consolidated balance sheet or the Consolidated statement of cash flows from this policy change.

Recognition of disputed income tax positions

With effect from the third quarter 2014, Statoil changed its policy for the recognition of income tax positions for which payment has been made despite Statoil disputing the tax claim involved. Previously only amounts virtually certain of being refunded to Statoil were reflected as assets for positions involving such disputed income tax amounts. As of the third quarter 2014 Statoil reflects as assets any disputed amounts that are probable of being refunded. The corresponding impact to profit and loss is reflected as a reduction within Income tax in the Consolidated statement of income.

Statoil 3rd quarter 2014 14

The change in policy mitigates the previously asymmetrical accounting for disputed tax cases involving assets and liabilities. Disputed income tax positions are now reflected in the Consolidated balance sheet as assets if a refund from the relevant tax authority is probable, and as liabilities if an outflow of cash from Statoil is probable. This ensures that the accounts more consistently reflect the underlying facts and evaluations in each case. Consequently more relevant information is provided independently of whether an income tax dispute occurs in a tax regime that requires up-front payment in disputed matters (such as for instance Norway), or in a tax regime where disputed payments are not due until a dispute has been legally settled in Statoil’s disfavour.

The change in accounting policy is not material to the Consolidated statement of income, the Consolidated balance sheet and the Consolidated statement of cash flows for the periods covered by these condensed interim financial statements, and consequently has not been applied retrospectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, considering the current and expected future market conditions. A change in an accounting estimate is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

2 Segments

Statoil's operations are managed through the following operating segments: Development and Production Norway (DPN), Development and Production North America (DPNA), Development and Production International (DPI), Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy (MPR) and Other.

Statoil reports its business through reporting segments which correspond to the operating segments, except for the operating segments DPI and DPNA which have been aggregated into one reporting segment, Development and Production International. This aggregation has its basis in similar economic characteristics, the nature of products, services and production processes, the type and class of customers and the methods of distribution.

The Eliminations section includes the elimination of inter-segment sales and related unrealised profits, mainly from the sale of crude oil and products. Inter-segment revenues are based upon estimated market prices.

Segment data for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 is presented below. The measurement basis of segment profit is Net operating income. Deferred tax assets, pension assets and non-current financial assets are not allocated to the segments. Also, the line Additions to PP&E, intangibles and associated companies is excluding movements due to changes in asset retirement obligations.

In the third quarter of 2014, the segment data for DPI has been negatively impacted by impairment losses of NOK 8.1 billion relating to the Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands project in Alberta, Canada. The impairment losses are presented as Depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses and Exploration expenses based on the impaired assets’ nature of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets, respectively. The impairment losses were triggered by Statoil’s decision in the third quarter to postpone the development decision for the Corner field development, which is part of the Kai Kos Dehseh project, in combination with a general weakening of the market outlook for oil sands projects such as Kai Kos Dehseh, including the impact of market factors such as increased cost level and market access for Alberta oil.

In the DPI segment impairment losses of NOK 3.5 billion on other exploration assets, mainly related to dry wells and uncommercial discoveries in Angola and in the Gulf of Mexico, were recognised in the third quarter of 2014.

The segment data for DPI for the first nine months of 2014 has also been influenced by impairment losses related to US onshore assets of NOK 4.3 billion in the second quarter which primarily affected goodwill. The impairments were mainly related to updated assumptions with sustained negative local price differentials.

The segment data for MPR in the third quarter of 2014 include impairment losses of NOK 1.4 billion relating to midstream assets. The impairment mainly relates to reduced expectations of future trading activities.

The segment data for MPR for the first nine months of 2014 also includes an amount of NOK 2.8 billion (USD 0.5 billion), recognised and presented as Other income in the first quarter following an arbitration ruling in Statoil’s favour. The awarded payment was received by Statoil and the case finally concluded in the first quarter of 2014.

The segment data for MPR and DPI has also been influenced by the sale transactions discussed in note 3 Acquisitions and dispositions.

Revenues by geographic areas

When attributing Revenues third party and Other income to the country of the legal entity executing the sale for the third quarter of 2014, Norway constitutes 74%, and the USA constitutes 15%.

3 Acquisitions and dispositions

Transactions closed in the third quarter

During the third quarter of 2014 Statoil closed an agreement to divest a 35% working interest in the Dudgeon offshore wind-farm and retain a 35% working interest, an agreement to farm down a 15% working interest in Angola Block 39 and retain a 40% working interest, and an agreement to divest its 5% working interest in Angola Block 15/06. Gains of NOK 0.9 billion from the transactions have been presented within the line item Other income in the Consolidated statement of income from the Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy (MPR) and Development and Production International (DPI) segments by NOK 0.4 billion and NOK 0.5 billion, respectively.

Agreement for sale of interests in licences on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to Wintershall

In the third quarter of 2014 Statoil entered into an agreement with Wintershall to sell certain ownership interests in licences on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for a cash consideration worth NOK 8.1 billion (USD 1.25 billion) as of the economic date, 1 January 2014. The transaction is expected to be closed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and will be recognised in the Development and Production Norway (DPN) and the Marketing, Processing and Renewable Energy (MPR) segments. Statoil has estimated the gain as of the economic date to approximately NOK 4.9 billion. The gain, adjusted for activity in the interim period, will be recognised upon closing of the transaction. The transaction is tax exempt under the rules in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax system and the estimated gain includes a release of related deferred tax liabilities.

Sale of interests in the Shah Deniz project and the South Caucasus Pipeline

In the first quarter of 2014 Statoil closed an agreement with BP and in the second quarter of 2014 Statoil closed an agreement with SOCAR to divest a 3.33% working interest and a 6.67% working interest, respectively, in the Shah Deniz project and the South Caucasus Pipeline. Gains of NOK 1.8 billion (DPI NOK 1.7 billion and MPR NOK 0.1 billion) and NOK 3.6 billion (DPI NOK 3.5 billion and MPR NOK 0.1 billion), respectively, were recognised in the first and second quarter of 2014. The gains have been presented in the line item Other income in the Consolidated statement of income. The part of the transaction recognised in the DPI segment was tax exempt under the rules in Norway and Azerbaijan. Proceeds from the sale were NOK 2.7 billion and NOK 5.5 billion in the first and second quarter, respectively.

Subsequent to 30 September 2014, Statoil has entered into an agreement to sell its remaining 15.5% working interest in the Shah Deniz project. See note 8 Subsequent events.

Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands swap agreement

In the second quarter of 2014 Statoil and its partner PTTEP closed an agreement to swap the two parties' respective interests in the Kai Kos Dehseh oil sands project in Alberta, Canada. Statoil paid a balancing cash consideration of NOK 2.5 billion and assumed a net liability of NOK 0.3 billion. Subsequent to the closing, Statoil continues as 100% owner of the Leismer and Corner projects, while PTTEP owns 100% of the Thornbury, Hangingstone and South Leismer areas. The transaction was recognised in the DPI segment in the second quarter of 2014 resulting in an increase in Property, plant and equipment of NOK 4.6 billion, including a transfer from Intangible assets of NOK 1.8 billion, and with no impact on the Consolidated statement of income.

In the third quarter of 2014 Statoil decided to postpone the development decision for the Corner field development. See note 2 Segments.

The tax rate for the third quarter of 2014, and for the first nine months of 2014, was primarily influenced by impairments with lower than average tax rates. For the first nine months of 2014 the tax rate was also influenced by the tax exempted sale of interests in the Shah Deniz Project and the recognition of a non-cash tax income following a verdict in the Norwegian Supreme Court in February 2014. The Supreme Court voted in favour of Statoil in a tax dispute regarding the tax treatment of foreign exploration expenditures.

The tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was primarily influenced by a tax exempted gain on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). This was partly offset by impairments with lower than average tax rates. The tax rate for the first nine months of 2013 was primarily influenced by expenses and impairments, including onerous contract provisions and losses on financial items, subject to lower than average tax rates. This was partly offset by a tax exempted gain on the NCS.

7 Provisions, commitments, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Statoil's estimated asset retirement obligations (ARO) have increased by NOK 12.1 billion during the first nine months of 2014, mainly due to a reduction in discount rates. The main part of the ARO increase related to the second quarter. Changes in ARO are reflected within Property, plant and equipment and Provisions in the Consolidated balance sheet.

In the first quarter of 2014 a major part of the financial exposure related to long term gas sales price review claims at that time, for which arbitration previously had been requested, was settled on commercial terms with no significant impact on the condensed interim financial statements. At the end of the third quarter of 2014 the exposure related to ongoing price review arbitration cases was approximately NOK 3.6 billion for gas delivered prior to third quarter end. Statoil has provided for its best estimate related to price review arbitration cases in these condensed interim financial statements, with the impact to the Consolidated statement of income reflected as revenue adjustments.

During the normal course of its business Statoil is involved in legal proceedings, and several other unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The ultimate liability or asset, respectively, in respect of such litigation and claims cannot be determined at this time. Statoil has provided in its condensed interim financial statements for probable liabilities related to litigation and claims based on the company's best judgement. Statoil does not expect that its financial position, results of operations or cash flows will be materially affected by the resolution of these legal proceedings.

8 Subsequent events

In October 2014 Statoil entered into an agreement with Petronas to sell its remaining 15.5% interest in the Shah Deniz project and the South Caucasus Pipeline for a cash consideration per economic date 1 January 2014 of NOK 14.2 billion (USD 2.2 billion). The transaction is expected to be closed in the first half of 2015. Statoil expects to recognise a gain from the transaction primarily in the DPI segment. Upon closing, Statoil will reduce commitments related to long-term agreements for pipeline transportation of approximately NOK 50 billion (USD 8 billion).

On 28 October 2014, the Board of Directors resolved to declare an interim dividend of NOK 1.80 per share. The shares will trade ex-dividend on 14 November 2014. The payment will be executed on 28 November 2014 for shareholders at OSE and around 5 December for ADR holders at NYSE.

²⁾ In the calculation of adjusted net interest-bearing debt, we make certain adjustments which make net interest-bearing debt and the net debt to capital employed ratio non-GAAP financial measures. For an explanation and calculation of the ratio, see Use and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Gross interest-bearing debt¹⁾ increased by NOK 33.2 billion mainly due to increased non-current finance debt of NOK 18.1 billion and increased current finance debt of NOK 15.0 billion, primarily related to proceeds from new finance debt issued in capital markets, amounting to USD 10.3 billion in 2013.

Net interest-bearing debt adjusted²⁾ increased by NOK 15.6 billion, mainly due to an increase in gross interest-bearing debt of NOK 33.2 billion, partly offset by increase in in cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments by NOK 18.1 billion.

The net debt to capital employed ratio²⁾ increased from 14.3% to 16.4%, mainly due to a increase in net interest-bearing debt of NOK 15.1 billion and an increase in capital employed of NOK 41.2 billion. Net debt to capital employed adjusted²⁾ increased from 17.2% to 19.0% mainly due to the same factors.

Current financial investments increased by NOK 20.0 billion. Current financial investments are a part of our liquidity management and reflect mainly deposits, treasury bills and commercial papers with a maturity of more than three months.

USE AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (i.e. IFRS).

For more information on our use of non-GAAP financial measures, see report section - Financial analysis and review - Non-GAAP measures in Statoil's 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

The following financial measures may be considered non-GAAP financial measures:

· Adjusted earnings (including Adjusted revenues and other income, Adjusted purchases, Adjusted operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, Adjusted depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses and Adjusted exploration expenses)

· Adjusted earnings after tax

· Net interest-bearing debt adjusted

· Net debt to capital employed ratio

· Net debt to capital employed ratio adjusted

Adjusted earnings are based on net operating income and adjusts for certain items affecting the income for the period in order to separate out effects that management considers may not to be specifically related to Statoil's underlying operational performance in the individual reporting period. Management considers adjusted earnings to be a supplemental measure to Statoil's IFRS measures that provides an indication of Statoil's underlying operational performance in the period and facilitates a better understanding of operational trends between the periods. Adjusted earnings adjusts for the following items:

· Adjustments are made for changes in the unrealised fair value of derivatives not accounted for as hedges. Statoil uses derivatives to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency, interest rates or commodity prices. However, when hedge accounting is not applied the unrealised fair value adjustment for derivatives is not matched by a similar adjustment for the exposure being managed. As a result, only the realised gains and losses on derivatives are reflected in adjusted earnings. The gains and losses on derivatives are then reflected in the period in which they impact our cash flows and generally match the associated cash flow of the exposure being managed.

· Periodisation of inventory hedging effect: Commercial storage is hedged in the paper market. Commercial storage is accounted for by using the lowest of cost and market price. If market prices increase over cost price, there will be a loss in the IFRS profit & loss statement since the derivatives always reflects changes in the market price. An adjustment is made to reflect the unrealised market value on the commercial storage. As a result, loss on derivatives is matched by a similar adjustment for the exposure being managed. If market prices decrease under cost price, the write-down and the derivative effect in the IFRS profit & loss statement will offset each and no adjustment is done.

· Over/underlift is accounted for using the sales method and therefore revenues are reflected in the period the product is sold rather than in the period it is produced. The over/underlift position depends on a number of factors related to our lifting program and the way it corresponds to our entitlement share of production. The effect on income for the period is therefore adjusted, to show estimated revenues and associated costs based upon the production for the period which management believes better reflects operational performance.

· Operational storage includes inventories held in the refining and retail operations which are accounted for at the lower of cost and net realizable value. An adjustment is made in the cost of goods sold for changes in the value of inventories during the period held (holding gains or losses) to align to the product pricing.

· Impairment and reversal of impairment are excluded from adjusted earnings since they affect the economics of an asset for the lifetime of that asset; not only the period in which it is impaired or the impairment is reversed. Impairment and reversal of impairment can impact both the Exploration expenses and the Depreciation, amortization and impairment line items.

· Gain or loss from sales is eliminated from the measure since the gain or loss does not give an indication of future performance or periodic performance; such a gain or loss is related to the cumulative value creation from the time the asset is acquired until it is sold.

Statoil 3rd quarter 2014 24

· Internal unrealised profit on inventories: Volumes derived from equity oil on inventory will vary depending on several factors and inventory strategies, i.e. level of crude oil in inventory, equity oil used in the refining process and level of in-transit cargoes. Internal profit related to volumes sold between entities in the group, and still in inventory at period end, is eliminated according to IFRS (write down to production cost). The proportion of realised versus unrealised gain will fluctuate from one period to another due to inventory strategies and accordingly impact Net operating income. This impact is not assessed to be a part of the underlying operational performance, and elimination of internal profit related to equity volumes is excluded in adjusted earnings.

· Other items of income and expense are adjusted when the impacts on income in the period are not reflective of Statoil's underlying operational performance in the reporting period. Such items may be unusual or infrequent transactions but they may also include transactions that are significant which would not necessarily qualify as either unusual or infrequent. Other items can include transactions such as provisions related to reorganisation, early retirement, etc.

The measure adjusted earnings after tax excludes net financial items (the principal line items impacted by the change in functional currency) and the associated tax effects on net financial items. It is based on adjusted earnings less the tax effects on all elements included in adjusted earnings (or calculated tax on operating income and on each of the adjusting items using an estimated marginal tax rate). In addition, tax effect related to tax exposure items not related to the individual reporting period is excluded from adjusted earnings after tax. Management considers adjusted earnings after tax, which reflects a normalised tax charge associated with its operational performance excluding the impact of financing, to be a supplemental measure to Statoil's net income. Certain net USD denominated financial positions are held by group companies that have a USD functional currency that is different from the currency in which the taxable income is measured. As currency exchange rates change between periods, the basis for measuring net financial items for IFRS will change disproportionally with taxable income which includes exchange gains and losses from translating the net USD denominated financial positions into the currency of the applicable tax return. Therefore, the effective tax rate may be significantly higher or lower than the statutory tax rate for any given period.

Management considers that adjusted earnings after tax provides a better indication of the taxes associated with underlying operational performance in the period (excluding financing), and therefore better facilitates a comparison between periods. However, the adjusted taxes included in adjusted earnings after tax should not be considered indicative of the amount of current or total tax expense (or taxes payable) for the period.

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax should be considered additional measures rather than substitutes for net operating income and net income, which are the most directly comparable IFRS measures. There are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax compared with the IFRS measures since they do not include all the items of revenues/gains or expenses/losses of Statoil which are needed to evaluate its profitability on an overall basis. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax are only intended to be indicative of the underlying developments in trends of our on-going operations for the production, manufacturing and marketing of our products and exclude pre and post-tax impacts of net financial items. We reflect such underlying development in our operations by eliminating the effects of certain items that may not be directly associated with the period's operations or financing. However, for that reason, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax are not complete measures of profitability. The measures should therefore not be used in isolation.

Adjusted earnings equal the sum of net operating income less all applicable adjustments. Adjusted earnings after tax equals the sum of net operating income less income tax in business areas and adjustments to operating income taking the applicable marginal tax into consideration. See the tables in the following section for details.

The calculated net debt to capital employed ratio is viewed by Statoil as providing a more complete picture of the Group's current debt situation than gross interest-bearing debt. The calculation uses balance sheet items related to gross interest-bearing debt and adjusts for cash, cash equivalents and current financial investments. Further adjustments are made for different reasons:

- Since different legal entities in the group lend to projects and others borrow from banks, project financing through external bank or similar institutions will not be netted in the balance sheet and will over-report the debt stated in the balance sheet compared to the underlying exposure in the Group. Similarly, certain net interest-bearing debt incurred from activities pursuant to the Marketing Instruction of the Norwegian government are off-set against receivables on the SDFI.

- Some interest-bearing elements are classified together with non-interest bearing elements, and are therefore included when calculating the net interest-bearing debt.

The table below reconciles net interest-bearing debt, capital employed and the net debt to capital employed ratio to the most directly comparable financial measure or measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Unless we are required by law to update these statements, we will not necessarily update any of these statements after the date of this report, either to make them conform to actual results or changes in our expectations.

END NOTES

1. The Group's average liquids price is a volume-weighted average of the segment prices of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGL), including a margin for oil sales, trading and supply.

2. The refining reference margin is a typical average gross margin of our two refineries, Mongstad and Kalundborg. The reference margin will differ from the actual margin, due to variations in type of crude and other feedstock, throughput, product yields, freight cost, inventory, etc.

3. Liquids volumes include oil, condensate and NGL, exclusive of royalty oil.

4. Equity volumes represent produced volumes under a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) that correspond to Statoil's ownership percentage in a particular field. Entitlement volumes, on the other hand, represent Statoil's share of the volumes distributed to the partners in the field, which are subject to deductions for, among other things, royalty and the host government's share of profit oil. Under the terms of a PSA, the amount of profit oil deducted from equity volumes will normally increase with the cumulative return on investment to the partners and/or production from the license. As a consequence, the gap between entitlement and equity volumes will likely increase in times of high liquids prices. The distinction between equity and entitlement is relevant to most PSA regimes, whereas it is not applicable in most concessionary regimes such as those in Norway, the UK, the US, Canada and Brazil. As of fourth quarter 2013, entitlement production from the upstream segment in the US is presented net of royalties. Historical information is aligned with the current presentation to provide comparable figures.

5. These are non-GAAP figures. See report section "Use and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures" for details.

6. Transactions with the Norwegian State. The Norwegian State, represented by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE), is the majority shareholder of Statoil and also holds major investments in other entities. This ownership structure means that Statoil participates in transactions with many parties that are under a common ownership structure and therefore meet the definition of a related party. Statoil purchases liquids and natural gas from the Norwegian State, represented by SDFI (the State's Direct Financial Interest). In addition, Statoil is selling the State's natural gas production in its own name, but for the Norwegian State's account and risk as well as related expenditures refunded by the State. All transactions are considered to be at an arms-length basis.

7. The production guidance reflects our estimates of proved reserves calculated in accordance with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines and additional production from other reserves not included in proved reserves estimates.

8. The Group's average invoiced gas prices include volumes sold by the Marketing, Processing and Renewable energy (MPR) segment.

9. The internal transfer price paid from MPR to DPN.
