Statoil may reopen the 2041 notes only if the additional 2041 notes issued will be fungible with the original 2041 notes for
United States federal income tax purposes.
·
Net proceeds: The net proceeds, after the underwriting discount but before expenses, will be $346,937,500.
The following terms apply to each series of the notes:
·
Guarantee: Payment of the principal of and interest on the notes is guaranteed by Statoil Petroleum AS. For more
information about the guarantee, you should read "Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees" beginning on page 13 of the
accompanying prospectus.
·
Denomination: The notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
·
Business day: If any payment is due in respect of the notes on a day that is not a business day, it will be made on the next
following business day, provided that no interest will accrue on the payment so deferred. A "business day" for these purposes
is any weekday on which banking or trust institutions in neither New York nor Oslo are authorized generally or obligated by
law, regulation or executive order to close.
·
Day count: 30/360.
·
Day count convention: Following unadjusted.
·
Ranking: The notes are unsecured and will rank equally with all of Statoil's other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness from time to time outstanding.
·
Redemption: The notes are not redeemable, except, in the case of each series of notes, as described below under "Optional
tax redemption" and "Optional make-whole redemption".
·
Optional tax redemption: Statoil and Statoil Petroleum have the option to redeem the notes of any series, in whole and not
in part, in the two situations described below at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the applicable series of
the notes plus accrued interest and any additional amounts due on the date fixed for redemption upon providing between 30
and 60 days' notice.
The first situation is where, as a result of changes in or amendment to, or changes in the official application or interpretation of,
any laws or regulations or rulings, or changes in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any
treaties on or after November 23, 2011 in the jurisdiction where Statoil or Statoil Petroleum is incorporated or, if different tax
resident, Statoil or Statoil Petroleum, as applicable, would be required to pay additional amounts as described below under "Payment
of additional amounts". If Statoil or Statoil Petroleum is succeeded by another entity, the applicable jurisdiction will be the
jurisdiction in which such successor entity is organized or incorporated or, if different, tax resident, and the applicable date will be
the date the entity became a successor. Statoil or Statoil Petroleum do not have the option to redeem in this case if either Statoil or
Statoil Petroleum, as applicable, could have avoided the payment of additional amounts or the deduction or withholding by using
reasonable measures available to Statoil or Statoil Petroleum, as applicable.
The second situation is where, following a merger, consolidation, sale or lease of Statoil's or Statoil Petroleum's assets to a
person that assumes Statoil's or Statoil Petroleum's obligations under the applicable series of the notes, that person is required to pay
additional amounts as described below under "Payment of additional amounts". Statoil, Statoil Petroleum or the other person would
have the option to redeem the applicable series of the notes in this situation even if the additional amounts became payable
immediately after such assumption. Neither Statoil, Statoil Petroleum nor that person has any obligation under the indenture to seek to
avoid the obligation to pay additional amounts in this situation. Statoil,

Table of Contents
Statoil Petroleum or the other person, as applicable, shall deliver to the trustee an officer's certificate to the effect that the
circumstances required for redemption exist.
·
Optional make whole redemption: Statoil has the right to redeem the notes of any series, in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the applicable series of
notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on
the applicable series of notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the redemption
date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the treasury rate plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2016 Notes and 20 basis points in the case of the 2022 Notes and
2041 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. For purposes of determining the optional make-whole
redemption price, the following definitions are applicable. "Treasury rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the
rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the comparable
treasury issue, assuming a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to
the comparable treasury price for such redemption date. "Comparable treasury issue" means the U.S. Treasury security or
securities selected by the quotation agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the
applicable series of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term
of such notes. "Comparable treasury price" means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the reference treasury
dealer quotations for such redemption date. "Quotation agent" means one of the reference treasury dealers appointed by
Statoil. "Reference treasury dealer" means Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and
their respective successors, and two other primary U.S. government securities dealers selected by Statoil, provided, however,
that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a "primary
treasury dealer"), Statoil shall substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer. "Reference treasury dealer quotations"
means with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the quotation
agent, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the quotation agent by such reference treasury dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third
business day preceding such redemption date.
·
Payment of additional amounts: None payable under current law. The government or any political subdivision or taxing
authority of such government of any jurisdiction where Statoil or Statoil Petroleum is incorporated (currently the Kingdom of
Norway) or, if different, tax resident may require Statoil or Statoil Petroleum to withhold amounts from payments on the
principal or interest on the notes of any series or payment under the guarantees for taxes, assessments or any other
governmental charges. If any such jurisdiction requires a withholding of this type, Statoil or Statoil Petroleum may be required
to pay the noteholder additional amounts so that the net amount the noteholder receives will be the amount specified in the
applicable series of the notes. However, in order for the noteholder to be entitled to receive the additional amounts, the
noteholder must not be resident in the jurisdiction that requires the withholding. Statoil and Statoil Petroleum will not have to
pay additional amounts under any or any combination of the following circumstances:
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed only because the noteholder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary
or member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, the noteholder, if the noteholder is an estate, trust,
partnership or corporation, was or is connected to

the taxing jurisdiction, other than by merely holding the notes or receiving principal or interest in respect thereof.
These connections include where the noteholder or related party:
·
is or has been a citizen or resident of the jurisdiction;
·
is or has been present or engaged in trade or business in the jurisdiction; or
·
has or had a permanent establishment in the jurisdiction.
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed due to the presentation of the notes (where presentation is
required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the applicable series of the notes became due or after the
payment was provided for, whichever occurs later.
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is on account of an estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal
property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge.
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is for a tax or governmental charge that is payable in a manner that does
not involve withholding.
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed or withheld because the noteholder or beneficial owner failed
to comply with any of Statoil's following requests:
·
to provide information about the nationality, residence or identity of the noteholder or beneficial owner, or
·
to make a declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements
in each case that the statutes, treaties, regulations or administrative practices of the taxing jurisdiction require as a
precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or governmental charge.
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed pursuant to European Union Directive 2003/48/EC or any
other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the
taxation of savings or any law or agreement implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, such
directive.
·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed on a noteholder or beneficial owner who could have avoided
such withholding or deduction by presenting its notes (where presentation is required) to another paying agent.
·
The noteholder is a fiduciary, partnership or other entity that is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the
principal of, or any interest on, the notes, and the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein) require the payment to be included in the income of a beneficiary or settlor for tax
purposes with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been
entitled to such additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the noteholder of
the notes.
The foregoing provisions will also apply to any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges imposed by any
jurisdiction in which Statoil's or Statoil Petroleum's successor is organized or incorporated or, if different, tax resident.
·
Form of notes: The notes of each series will be issued as one or more global securities. You should read "Description of
Debt Securities and Guarantees--Legal Ownership--Global Securities" beginning on page 19 of the accompanying
prospectus for more information about global securities.

Name of depositary: The Depository Trust Company, commonly referred to as "DTC".
