Table of Contents
This summary description of our business and the offering may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete
understanding of our business and this offering, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. In particular, you should read the following summary together with the more detailed information
and consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Company overview
We are a worldwide oil and gas exploration and production company. We also have retail and wholesale gasoline marketing operations in the United States
and refining and marketing operations in the United Kingdom. Our operations currently are classified into two business activities: (1) "Exploration and
Production" and (2) "Refining and Marketing." As described under "--Recent developments," we are in the process of selling our refining and marketing, or
downstream, operations in the United Kingdom as wel as our U.K. exploration and production operations, and we are implementing a plan to spin off our
United States downstream operations to shareholders.
Murphy's exploration and production business explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids worldwide. Murphy's activities are
currently subdivided into five geographic segments, including the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Republic of the Congo and all other countries. Total
worldwide 2011 production on a barrel of oil equivalent basis (six thousand cubic feet of natural gas equals one barrel of oil) was 179,388 barrels per day.
Total hydrocarbon production in 2012 is currently expected to average about 193,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The projected production increase of
approximately 7.6% in 2012 is primarily related to higher oil and gas volumes produced in the Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas as the Company
continues its dril ing program in the area, higher natural gas production at the Tupper West area in Western Canada where first production occurred in
February 2011, and higher oil production at Kikeh where new wel s have been brought on production. These volume increases are expected to more than
offset production declines in 2012 at other producing fields. Income from the worldwide Exploration and Production segment represented nearly 83% of
consolidated net income from continuing operations in 2011.
Murphy's refining and marketing, or downstream, activities are subdivided into segments for the United States and the United Kingdom. Our U.S. business
primarily consists of retail marketing of petroleum products through a large chain of motor refueling stations. Most of these stations are located on or near
Walmart store sites, with the remaining stations located at other high traffic sites that are near major thoroughfares. Sales from our U.S. retail marketing
stations represented 47.4% of our consolidated revenues in 2011, 53.1% in 2010 and 51.4% in 2009. Our market share of U.S. retail gasoline sales was
approximately 2.6% in 2011.
The U.S. downstream business entered the renewable fuels business by acquiring an ethanol production facility in North Dakota during 2009, and also
purchased an unfinished ethanol production facility in Texas in 2010 that was completed and began operations in 2011.

Table of Contents
Additionally, the U.S. operations include refined product terminals with wholesale marketing activities. We sold our U.S. petroleum refineries in Meraux,
Louisiana and Superior, Wisconsin and certain associated marketing assets in 2011.
Our U.K. downstream business primarily consists of operations that refine crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products such as gasoline and
distil ates, buy and sell crude oil and refined products, and transport and market petroleum products. In 2011, we owned approximately 7.5% of the refining
capacity in the United Kingdom, and our U.K. fuel sales represented 2.0% of the total U.K. market share.
Recent developments
On October 16, 2012, Murphy announced that its board of directors (1) approved a plan to spin off to its stockholders its U.S. downstream subsidiary,
Murphy Oil USA, Inc. ("Murphy USA"), with Murphy USA becoming an independent and separately traded company, (2) authorized a special dividend of
$2.50 per share for a total dividend of approximately $500 mil ion and (3) authorized a share buyback program of up to $1 bil ion of the Company's shares of
common stock. Murphy also reaffirmed the plan to divest its U.K. downstream operations and stated that it is continuing to review possible options with
respect to selected assets.
Murphy believes that creating two publicly traded companies would offer a number of advantages:

· each business would focus on its strategic priorities with financial targets that best fit its own market and opportunities;

· each business would be able to al ocate resources and deploy capital in a manner consistent with its priorities; and

· investors, both current and prospective, would be able to value the two businesses based on their respective financial characteristics and make

investment decisions based on those characteristics.
In addition, on October 31, 2012, Murphy announced that during the third quarter of 2012 its board of directors had authorized the sale of its exploration and
production operations in the United Kingdom. Murphy has since agreed to sel certain of these assets and to buy certain oil properties in the Seal Lake region
of northern Alberta, Canada.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2012, the U.K. exploration and production segment has been reclassified to discontinued operations.
Murphy Oil Corporation
After the announced separation, Murphy Oil Corporation wil become an independent exploration and production company with principal activities focused in
the United States, Canada and Malaysia. Murphy wil continue its exploration program and offshore development projects complemented by predictable
growth in its North America onshore businesses primarily in the Eagle Ford Shale and Seal areas. The U.K. downstream operations wil remain with Murphy
until such time as these assets are ful y divested. At September 30, 2012, and after giving effect
