NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.’s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. AllWith the exception of certain adjustments associated with the acquisition of Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) and McMoRan Exploration Co. (MMR), collectively known as Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC (FM O&G), all such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month periodand six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

As further discussed in Note 2, FCX completed its acquisition of PXP on May 31, 2013, and MMR on June 3, 2013. The financial results for second-quarter2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2013, include PXP's results beginning June 1, 2013, and MMR's results beginning June 4, 2013.

2. ACQUISITIONS
Oil and Gas. PXP and MMR are now both wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries of FCX. These acquisitions add a portfolio of oil and gas assets to FCX's global mining business to create a U.S.-based natural resource company. The portfolio of oil and gas assets includes oil production facilities and growth potential in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM), oil production from the onshore Eagle Ford shale play in Texas, oil production facilities onshore and offshore California, onshore resources in the Haynesville shale natural gas play in Louisiana, and a position in the emerging shallow water, ultra-deep natural gas play on the Shelf of the GOM and onshore in South Louisiana. The acquisitions have been accounted for under the acquisition method as required by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations,” with FCX as the acquirer. As further discussed in Note 7, FCX issued $6.5 billion of senior notes in March 2013 for net proceeds of $6.49 billion, which was used, together with borrowings under a $4.0 billionfive-year bank term loan, to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration for both transactions and the repayment of certain indebtedness of PXP.

In the PXP acquisition, FCX acquired PXP for per-share consideration equivalent to 0.6531 shares of FCX common stock and $25.00 in cash. PXP stockholders had the right to elect to receive merger consideration in the form of cash or shares of FCX common stock, subject to the proration provisions in the merger agreement. Based on the final results of the merger consideration elections and as set forth in the merger agreement, FCX issued 91 million shares of its common stock and paid $3.8 billion in cash (which includes $411 million for the value of the $3 per share special dividend paid to PXP stockholders on May 31, 2013).

Following is a summary of the $6.6 billion purchase price for PXP (in millions, except the exchange ratio and closing share price):

In the MMR acquisition, for each MMR share owned, MMR shareholders received $14.75 in cash and 1.15 units of a royalty trust, which holds a five percent overriding royalty interest in future production from MMR's ultra-deep exploration prospects that existed as of December 5, 2012, the date of the merger agreement. MMR conveyed the royalty interests to the royalty trust immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, and they were "carved out" of the mineral interests that were acquired by FCX and not considered part of purchase consideration.

Prior to June 3, 2013, FCX owned 500,000 shares of MMR's 5.75% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2, which was accounted for under the cost method and recorded on its balance sheet at $432 million on May 31, 2013. On May 31, 2013, FCX acquired 51 million shares of MMR's common stock, which had a fair value of $848 million on that date based upon the closing market price of MMR's common stock ($16.63 per share, i.e.,Level 1 measurement), through its acquisition of PXP. As a result of FCX obtaining control of MMR on June 3, 2013, FCX remeasured its ownership interests in MMR to a fair value of $1.4 billion in accordance with ASC Topic 805, resulting in a gain of $128 million in second-quarter 2013. Fair value was calculated using the closing quoted market price of MMR's common stock on June 3, 2013, of $16.75 per share (i.e.,Level 1 measurement for the common stock and Level 2 measurement for the preferred stock).

Table of Contents


In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price from FCX's acquisitions of both PXP and MMR has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest based on their estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. The estimated fair values were based on preliminary estimates and are subject to change as FCX completes its analysis. The fair value estimates were based on, but not limited to quoted market prices, where available; expected future cash flows based on estimated reserve quantities; costs to produce and develop reserves; current replacement cost for similar capacity for certain fixed assets; market rate assumptions for contractual obligations; appropriate discount rates and growth rates, and oil and gas forward prices. The excess of the total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest has been recorded as goodwill. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value measurement of the oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations included in other liabilities (refer to Note 8 for further discussion) and noncontrolling interest were based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market (as discussed above) and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The fair value measurement of long-term debt, including the current portion, was based on prices obtained from a readily available pricing source and thus represents a Level 2 measurement.

As of June 30, 2013, FCX had not identified any material pre-acquisition contingencies where the related asset, liability or impairment is probable and the amount of the asset, liability or impairment can be reasonably estimated. Prior to the end of the purchase price allocation period, if information becomes available that an asset existed, a liability had been incurred or an asset had been impaired as of the acquisition dates, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the purchase price allocations.

Goodwill arose on these acquisitions principally because of limited drilling activities to date and the absence of production history and material reserve data associated with the very large geologic potential of an emerging trend targeting deep-seated structures in the shallow waters of the GOM and onshore analogous to large discoveries in the deepwater GOM and other proven basins prospects. In addition, goodwill also resulted from the requirement to recognize deferred taxes on the difference between the fair value and the tax basis of the acquired assets.

In second-quarter2013 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, FM O&G contributed revenue of $336 million and operating income of $64 million since the acquisition dates. Acquisition-related costs totaled $61 million in second-quarter2013 and $75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, FCX deferred debt issuance costs of $95 million in connection with the debt financing of the acquisitions (refer to Note 7 for further discussion of the debt financing), which are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest. In 2011, PXP issued (i) 450,000 shares of Plains Offshore Operations Inc. (Plains Offshore) 8% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) for gross proceeds of $450 million and (ii) non-detachable warrants to purchase in aggregate 9.1 million shares of Plains Offshore's common stock with an exercise price of $20 per share. In addition, Plains Offshore issued 87 million shares of Plains Offshore Class A common stock, which will be held in escrow until the conversion and cancellation of the Preferred Stock or the exercise of the warrants. Plains Offshore holds certain of FM O&G's oil and natural gas properties and assets located in the GOM in water depths of 500 feet or more, including the Lucius oil field and the Phobos prospect, but excluding the properties acquired by PXP in 2012 from BP Exploration & Production Inc., BP America Production Company and Shell Offshore Inc. The Preferred Stock represents a 20 percent equity interest in Plains Offshore and pays quarterly cash dividends of 6 percent per annum and an additional 2 percent per annum dividend. The 2 percent dividend may be deferred and accumulated quarterly until paid ($18 million of accumulated dividends as of June 30, 2013). The shares of preferred stock also fully participate, on an as-converted basis at four times, in cash dividends distributed to any class of common stockholders of Plains Offshore. Plains Offshore has not distributed any dividends to its common stockholders.

Table of Contents


The holders of the Preferred Stock (preferred holders) have the right, at any time at their option, to convert any or all of such holder's shares of Preferred Stock and exercise any of the associated non-detachable warrants into shares of Class A common stock of Plains Offshore, at an initial conversion/exercise price of $20 per share; the conversion price is subject to adjustment as a result of certain events. Furthermore, Plains Offshore has the right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock if certain events occur more than 180 days after an initial public offering or a qualified public offering of Plains Offshore. FM O&G also has a right to purchase shares of Plains Offshore preferred stock, common stock and warrants under certain circumstances in order to permit the consolidation of Plains Offshore for federal income tax purposes. Additionally, at any time on or after November 17, 2016, the fifth anniversary of the closing date, FM O&G may exercise a call right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and associated non-detachable warrants for cash, at a price equal to the liquidation preference described below.
At any time after November 17, 2015, the fourth anniversary of the closing date, a majority of the preferred holders may cause Plains Offshore to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exit event. An exit event, as defined in the stockholders agreement, means, at the sole option of Plains Offshore (i) the purchase by FM O&G or the redemption by Plains Offshore of all the preferred stock, warrants and common stock held by the preferred holders for the aggregate fair value thereof; (ii) a sale of Plains Offshore or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, in each case in an arms' length transaction with a third party, at the highest price available after reasonable marketing efforts by Plains Offshore; or (iii) a qualified initial public offering. In the event that Plains Offshore fails to consummate an exit event prior to the applicable exit event deadline, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the warrants will immediately and automatically be adjusted such that all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis taken together with shares of Plains Offshore common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, in the aggregate, will constitute 49 percent of the common equity securities of Plains Offshore on a fully diluted basis. In addition, FM O&G would be required to purchase $300 million of junior preferred stock in Plains Offshore.

The preferred holders are entitled to vote on all matters on which common stockholders are entitled to vote.
In the event of liquidation of Plains Offshore, each preferred holder is entitled to receive the liquidation preference before any payment or distribution is made on any Plains Offshore junior preferred stock or common stock. A liquidation event includes any of the following events: (i) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Plains Offshore, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) a sale, consolidation or merger of Plains Offshore in which the stockholders immediately prior to such event do not own at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving entity, or (iii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Plains Offshore's assets to a person other than FM O&G or its affiliates. The liquidation preference, as defined in the stockholders agreement, is equal to (i) the greater of (a) 1.25 times the initial offering price and (b) the sum of (1) the fair market value of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and (2) the applicable tax adjustment amount, plus (ii) any accrued dividends and accumulated dividends.
The non-detachable warrants may be exercised at any time on the earlier of (i) November 17, 2019, the eighth anniversary of the original issue date or (ii) a termination event. A termination event is defined as the occurrence of any of (a) the conversion of the Preferred Stock, (b) the redemption of the Preferred Stock, (c) the repurchase by FM O&G or any of its affiliates of the Preferred Stock or (d) a liquidation event of Plains Offshore, described above. The non-detachable warrants are considered to be embedded derivative instruments for accounting purposes and have been assessed as not being clearly and closely related to the related Preferred Stock. Therefore, the warrants are classified as a long-term liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be adjusted to fair value each reporting period with adjustments recorded in other income (expense).
The Preferred Stock of Plains Offshore is classified as temporary equity because of its redemption features and is therefore reported outside of permanent equity in FCX's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The redeemable noncontrolling interest ($752 million) approximates its redemption value as of June 30, 2013. Subsequent remeasurement of the redeemable noncontrolling interest will represent its initial carrying amount adjusted for any noncontrolling interest's share of net income (loss) or changes to the redemption value. Additionally, the carrying amount will be further increased by amounts representing dividends not currently declared or paid, but which are payable under the redemption features described above. Future mark-to-market adjustments to the redemption value, subject to a minimum balance of the original recorded value ($749 million) on May 31, 2013, shall be reflected in retained earnings and earnings per share. FM O&G will accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date FCX acquired PXP to the earliest redemption date.

The most significant pro forma adjustments to income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, were to exclude $506 million of acquisition-related costs and the $128 million gain on the investment in MMR and to include them in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.

Cobalt Chemical Refinery Business. On March 29, 2013, FCX, through a newly formed consolidated joint venture, completed the acquisition of a cobalt chemical refinery in Kokkola, Finland, and the related sales and marketing business. The acquisition provides direct end-market access for the cobalt hydroxide production at Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A.R.L. (TFM or Tenke). The joint venture operates under the name Freeport Cobalt, and FCX is the operator with an effective 56 percent ownership interest. The remaining effective ownership interest is held by itsFCX's partners in TFM, including 24 percent by Lundin Mining Corporation (Lundin) and 20 percent by La Générale des Carrières et des Mines (Gécamines). Initial considerationConsideration paid was $355382 million, which included $34 million for cash acquired and is subject to a working capital adjustment of $27 million, and was funded 70 percent by FCX and 30 percent by Lundin. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, there is also the potential for additional consideration of up to $110 million over a period of three years, contingent upon the achievement of revenue-based performance targets. The initial estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in FCX's consolidated financial statements as of March 31,June 30, 2013.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Pending Acquisitions. On December 5, 2012, FCX announced definitive agreements to acquire, in separate transactions, Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) and McMoRan Exploration Co. (MMR). PXP per-share consideration is equivalent to 0.6531 shares of FCX's common stock and $25.00 in cash (approximately $3.4 billion in cash and 91 million shares of FCX common stock). MMR per-share consideration consists of $14.75 in cash (approximately $3.4 billion in cash, or $2.1 billion net of MMR interests owned by FCX and PXP) and 1.15 units ofAs a royalty trust, which will hold a five percent overriding royalty interest in future production from MMR's existing shallow water ultra-deep prospects. As further discussed in Note 6, in March 2013, FCX issued $6.5 billion of senior notes for net proceeds of $6.4 billion, which will be used, together with a five-year bank term loan that provides for borrowings up to $4.0 billion, to fund the cash portionresult of the merger consideration for both transactions and the repayment of certain indebtedness of PXP and MMR.

Completion of each transaction is subject to receiptacquisitions of PXP and MMR, stockholder approvalthe following supplements the significant accounting policies contained in FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Basis of their respective transactions. ThePresentation. FCX began consolidating its wholly owned subsidiaries, PXP transaction is not conditioned onand MMR, effective June 1, 2013, and June 4, 2013, respectively. PXP's and MMR's financial information consolidates the closingresults of the MMR transaction,operations and the MMR transaction is not conditioned onassets and liabilities for their majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in unincorporated joint ventures, as well as individual interests in oil and gas exploration, development and production activities, are reflected using the closingproportionate consolidation method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of the PXP transaction. On April 18, 2013, PXP announced that it will holdEstimates. As a special meetingresult of its stockholders on May 20, 2013, to vote on the proposed acquisition of PXP by FCX. On May 3, 2013,and MMR, announcedother significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include oil and natural gas reserve estimation; timing of transfers of oil and gas properties not subject to amortization into the full cost pool; determination of fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest, and recognition of goodwill and deferred taxes in connection with business combinations; and valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular, initial estimates of acquisition fair values are preliminary and subject to change as the related valuations are finalized.

Goodwill.Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually, unless events occur or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a related reporting unit below its carrying value. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. FCX uses a discounted cash flow model to determine if the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than the fair value of the reporting unit. FCX's approach to allocating goodwill includes the identification of the reporting unit it will holdbelieves has contributed to the excess purchase price and includes consideration of the reporting unit's potential for future growth. Goodwill arose with FCX's acquisitions of PXP and MMR, which has been allocated to the oil and gas reporting unit. Events affecting oil and gas prices may cause a special meetingdecrease in the fair value of the reporting unit, and FCX could have an impairment of its stockholders on June 3, 2013,goodwill in future periods. When a sale of oil and gas properties occurs, goodwill is allocated to votethat property based on the proposed acquisitionrelationship of MMR by FCX. Both transactions are expectedthe fair value of the property sold to close in second-quarter 2013, subjectthe total reporting unit's fair value. A significant sale of oil and gas properties may represent a triggering event that requires goodwill to satisfaction of all conditions to closing.be evaluated for impairment.

Oil and Gas Properties. FCX follows the full cost method of accounting whereby all costs associated with oil and gas property acquisitions, exploration and development activities are capitalized. Such costs include internal general and administrative costs, such as payroll and related benefits and costs directly attributable to employees engaged in acquisition, exploration and development activities. General and administrative costs associated with production, operations, marketing and general corporate activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs, along with estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and asset retirement costs that are not already included in oil and gas properties, net of related salvage value, are amortized to expense under the unit-of-production method using engineers' estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. The information containedcosts of unproved oil and gas properties are excluded from amortization until the properties are evaluated. Interest is capitalized on oil and gas properties not subject to amortization and in the process of development. Proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties are accounted for as reductions to capitalized costs unless such sales cause a 25 percent or greater change in the total proved reserves of oil and gas attributable to a cost center, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

As of June 30, 2013, property, plant, equipment and development costs, net on the condensed consolidated financial statementsbalance sheet included $12.2 billion for oil and natural gas properties subject to depletion and $11.4 billion for oil and natural gas properties not subject to depletion.

Under the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) full cost accounting rules, FCX reviews the carrying value of its oil and gas properties each quarter on a country-by-country basis, with each country representing a cost center. FCX currently has one cost center, the U.S. Under these rules, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization, and related deferred income taxes) for each cost center may not exceed a “ceiling” equal to:

the present value, discounted at 10 percent, of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, net of estimated future income taxes; plus
the cost of unproved properties not being amortized; plus
the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized (net of related tax effects).

These rules generally require that FCX price its future oil and gas production at the trailing twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. FCX reference prices are the West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, for oil and the notes herein doesHenry Hub spot price for gas. Such prices are utilized except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. The reserve estimates exclude the effect of any oil and gas derivatives FCX has in place. The estimated future net cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations included in the net book value of the oil and gas properties. The rules require an impairment if the capitalized costs exceed this “ceiling.” At June 30, 2013, the ceiling with respect to FCX's oil and gas properties exceeded the net capitalized costs, and therefore, FCX did not reflect FCX's pending acquisitions of PXP or MMR.record an impairment.

As a result of second-quarter 2013 oil and gas acquisitions, FCX recognized a net tax benefit of $183 million consisting of income tax benefits of $190 million associated with net reductions in FCX's valuation allowances and $69 million related to the release of the deferred tax liability on PXP's investment in MMR common stock; partially offset by income tax expense of $76 million associated with the write off of deferred tax assets related to environmental liabilities.

Excluding the net benefit of $183 million of acquisition-related adjustments, FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 34 percent for the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013 and 33 percent for the first-quarterfirst six months of 2012. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income can result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate.

Revolving Credit Facility. On February 14, 2013, FCX and PT Freeport Indonesia entered into a new senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, which replaced FCX's existing revolving credit facility (scheduled to mature on March30, 2016) upon completion of the acquisition of PXP. On May 31, 2013, in connection with the PXP acquisition, FCX satisfied all conditions under its new senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, and PXP joined the revolving credit facility as a borrower. The new revolving credit facility is available until May 31, 2018, in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion, with $500 million available to PT Freeport Indonesia. At June 30, 2013, FCX had no borrowings and $46 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $3.0 billion, of which $1.5 billion could be used for additional letters of credit. Interest on the new revolving credit facility, currently London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.50 percent, will be determined by reference to FCX's credit rating.

Acquisition-Related Debt. In connection with financing FCX's acquisitions of PXP and MMR, FCX used the proceeds from the issuance of $6.5 billion of senior notes and a $4.0 billion unsecured bank term loan (the Term Loan) to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration for both transactions, to refinance certain of PXP's outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Notes. On March 7, 2013, in connection with the financing of FCX's then pending acquisitions of PXP and MMR, FCX issued $6.5 billion of senior unsecured notes in four tranches. FCX sold $1.5 billion of 2.375% Senior Notes due March 2018 (5-year notes), $1.0 billion of 3.100% Senior Notes due March 2020 (7-year notes), $2.0 billion of 3.875% Senior Notes due March 2023 (10-year notes) and $2.0 billion of 5.450% Senior Notes due March 2043 (30-year notes) for total net proceeds of $6.49 billion. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2013. FCX used the proceeds from the senior notes, together with its Term Loan, primarily to fund the acquisitions of PXP and MMR, including the payment of cash consideration for the acquisitions and the repayment of certain indebtedness.

Bank Term Loan. On February 14, 2013, FCX entered into an agreement for a $4.0 billion bank term loan (theunsecured Term Loan)Loan in connection with the pendingthen-pending acquisitions of PXP and MMR. Borrowings of up to $4.0 billion under the unsecured Term Loan will becomebecame available to FCX upon the closing of the PXP and/or the MMR acquisitions to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration for both transactions, to refinance certain of PXP's and MMR's outstanding debt, or for general corporate purposes.acquisition. At the time of the closing of the PXP transaction closes,acquisition, PXP will joinjoined the Term Loan as a borrower.

The Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments during the second, third and fourth years of the Term Loanloan in annual amounts equal to 10 percent, 15 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of the original aggregate principal amount, and the remainder will mature five years from the date of the first borrowing (May 31, 2013). At FCX's option, the Term Loan will bear interest at either an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)LIBOR or an alternate-based rate (as defined under the Term Loan agreement) plus a spread to be determined by reference to FCX's credit ratings (currently LIBOR plus 1.50 percent or the alternate-based rate plus 50 basis points)0.50 percent). FCX expects to select LIBOR for amounts borrowed at closing.

Also onPXP Debt Assumed. February 14, 2013, FCX and PT Freeport Indonesia entered into a new senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, which will refinance and replace FCX's existing revolving credit facility (scheduled to mature on March 30, 2016) upon completion of the pending acquisition of PXP. Interest on the new revolving credit facility will be determined by reference to FCX's credit rating (currently LIBOR plus 1.50 percent). At the time the PXP acquisition closes, PXP will join the revolving credit facility as a borrower. No amounts are currently available to FCX under the new revolving credit facility.

Repayments. In connection with the acquisition of PXP, FCX repaid the $3.9 billion outstanding under PXP's amended credit facility because of the change of control provision in the agreement. Additionally, during June 2013, FCX redeemed all of its 7⅝% Senior Notes due 2018, which were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, for $415 million.

During June 2013, certain holders of MMR's 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017, which were recorded at acquisition-date fair value, converted notes into merger consideration totaling $211 million, including cash consideration of $186 million and 14.5 million royalty trust units (fair value of $25 million at the date of acquisition).

On March 14, 2012, FCX redeemed the remaining $3.0 billion of its outstanding 8.375% Senior Notes due 2017, for which holders received 104.553 percent of the principal amount together with the accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of this redemption, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $168 million ($149 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders) in second-quarter 2012.

Other. During the first quarter of 2013, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $45 million ($39 million to net income attributable to FCX common stockholders) for financing costs incurred for the terminated $9.5 billion acquisition bridge loan facility, which was entered into in December 2012 to provide interim financing for the acquisitions of PXP and MMR but was replaced with other financing.

In February 2012, FCX sold $500 million of 1.40% Senior Notes due 2015, $500 million of 2.15% Senior Notes due 2017 and $2.0 billion of 3.55% Senior Notes due 2022 for total net proceeds of $2.97 billion. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually.

Guarantees. In connection with the acquisition of PXP, FCX guaranteed the PXP senior notes, and the guarantees by certain PXP subsidiaries were released. At the time of FCX's acquisition of MMR, FCX guaranteed MMR's 11.875% Senior Notes due 2014, and the guarantees by certain MMR subsidiaries were released. Refer to Note 14 for a discussion of FCX's senior notes guaranteed by FM O&G.

Restrictive Covenants.The Term Loan and new revolving credit facility both contain customary affirmative covenants and representations, and also contain a number of negative covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of FCX's subsidiaries that are not borrowers or guarantors to incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations) and FCX's ability or the ability of FCX's subsidiaries to: create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in mergers, liquidations and dissolutions; and sell assets. The Term Loan and new revolving credit facility also contain financial ratios governing maximum total leverage and minimum interest coverage.

The fair value of AROs assumed in the acquisitions of PXP and MMR ($741 million and $283 million, respectively) were estimated based on projected cash flows, an estimated long-term annual inflation rate of 2.5 percent, and discount rates based on FCX's estimated credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rates ranging from 1.3 percent to 6.3 percent.

The following information updates previously reported information regarding AROs included in Note 13 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, to reflect the acquisitions of PXP and MMR. Consistent with normal oil and gas industry practices, substantially all of the oil and gas leases require that, upon termination of economic production, the working interest owners plug and abandon non-producing wellbores, remove platforms, tanks, production equipment and flow lines and restore the wellsite. Typically, when producing oil and gas assets are purchased, the purchaser assumes the obligation to plug and abandon wells and facilities that are part of such assets. However, in some instances, an indemnity may be received with respect to those costs. FCX cannot be assured that it will be able to collect on these indemnities. In connection with the acquisitions of PXP and MMR, the most significant asset retirement obligations were related to the oil and gas properties located in the GOM.

Litigation. The following information includes a discussion of updates to previously reported legal proceedings included in Note 13 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and Note 9 of FCX's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Shareholder Litigation. On June 13, 2013, the Arizona Superior Court extended the stay of In Re Freeport-McMoRan Derivative Litigation, No. CV2012-018351, until December 31, 2013.  On July 19, 2013, the plaintiffs in In Re Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. Derivative Litigation, No. 8145-VCN, pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, filed a second amended consolidated complaint and voluntarily dismissed without prejudice the aiding and abetting claims against most of the defendants.
On May 9, 2013, the Delaware Court of Chancery in In Re Plains Exploration & Production Company Stockholder Litigation, No. 8090-VCN, denied plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. The defendants moved to dismiss the claims on May 30, 2013.

On June 28, 2013, the parties in In Re McMoRan Exploration Co. Stockholder Litigation, No. 8132-VCN, entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which are not material. A settlement hearing is scheduled for October 11, 2013.

Tax Matters.Cerro Verde Royalty Dispute. As reported in Note 13 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, SUNAT, the Peruvian national tax authority, has assessed mining royalties on ore processed by the Cerro Verde concentrator that commenced operations in late 2006. These assessments cover the period October 2006 to December 2007 and the years 2008 and 2009. In July 2013, the Peruvian Tax Tribunal issued two decisions affirming SUNAT's assessments for the period October 2006 through December 2008, which are estimated to total $73 million ($175 million including interest and penalties). On July 19, 2013, a hearing on SUNAT's assessment for 2009 was held, but no decision has yet been issued by the Tax Tribunal for that year. The decisions end the administrative stage of the appeal procedures for these assessments. However, Cerro Verde has the right to contest these matters through a judiciary appeal, which it is currently considering because it continues to believe that its 1998 stability agreement provides an exemption for all minerals extracted from its mining

19



concession, irrespective of the method used for processing those minerals. Although FCX believes its interpretation of the stability agreement is correct, if Cerro Verde is ultimately found responsible for these assessments, it will also be liable for interest, which accrues at rates that range from approximately 7 to 18 percent based on the year accrued and the currency in which the amounts would be payable. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate amount of the assessments for the period October 2006 through December 2009, including interest and penalties, is estimated at $245 million. SUNAT may make additional assessments for mining royalties and associated penalties and interest for the years 2010 through 2013, which Cerro Verde will contest. No amounts were accrued as of June 30, 2013.

Indonesia Tax Matters. As reported in Note 13 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, PT Freeport Indonesia has received assessments from the Indonesian tax authorities for additional taxes and interest related to various audit exceptions for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007. During first-quarter 2013, PT Freeport Indonesia also received assessments from the Indonesian tax authorities for additional taxes of $59 million and interest of $55 million related to various audit exceptions for 2008. During second-quarter 2013, the Indonesian tax authorities agreed to refund $291 million ($320 million was included in other accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012) associated with overpayments made by PT Freeport Indonesia for 2011. PT Freeport Indonesia expects to file objections for $21 million of the remaining 2011 overpayments that it believes it is due. Additionally, the Indonesian tax authorities withheld $126 million of the 2011 overpayment for assessments from 2005 and 2007, which PT Freeport Indonesia is disputing. A refund of $165 million was received in July 2013. PT Freeport Indonesia has filed objections to the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 assessments because it believes it has properly determined and paid its taxes, and no amounts have been accrued as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, PT Freeport Indonesia has $265 million included in other assets for amounts paid on disputed tax assessments, including the $126 million discussed above for the 2011 refunds. Objections will be filed related to the 2011 assessments in the second half of 2013.

Contractual Obligations. The following information updates previously reported contractual obligations included in Note 14 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, to reflect the acquisitions of PXP and MMR. As is common within the oil and gas industry, FCX has various commitments and operating agreements associated with oil and gas exploration, development and production activities, gathering and transportation, and oilfield and other services. Aggregate future obligations under these agreements total $2.2 billion, primarily comprising minimum commitments of $1.3 billion for ultra-deepwater drillships for the GOM drilling campaign and $490 million associated with the deferred premium costs and future interest expected to be accrued on the crude oil option contracts, which will be paid once the options settle (refer to Note 9 for further discussion). FCX's future commitments associated with the oil and gas unconditional purchase obligations total $1.4 billion for the remainder of 2013, $267 million in 2014, $272 million in 2015, $70 million in 2016, $43 million in 2017 and $124 million thereafter.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FCX does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments unless there is an existing asset or obligation, or it anticipates a future activity that is likely to occur and will result in exposure to market risks, which FCX intends to offset or mitigate. FCX does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, but has entered into derivative financial instruments in limited instances to achieve specific objectives. These objectives principally relate to managing risks associated with commodity price changes, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Commodity Contracts.  From time to time, FCX has entered into forward, futures and swap contracts to hedge the market risk associated with fluctuations in the prices of copper and gold commodities it purchases and sells. As a result of the acquisition of PXP, FCX acquired a variety of oil and gas commodity derivatives, such as swaps, collars, puts, calls and various combinations of these instruments, to hedge the exposure to the volatility of oil and gas commodity prices.

Derivative financial instruments used by FCX to manage its risks do not contain credit risk-related contingent provisions. As of March 31, 2013, FCX had no price protection contracts relating to its mine production. A discussion of FCX’s derivative commodity contracts and programs follows.

Commodity Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments – Fair Value Hedges
Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX's U.S. copper rod customers request a fixed market price instead of the Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX), a division of the New York Mercantile Exchange (COMEX)(NYMEX), average copper price in the month of shipment. FCX hedges this price exposure in a manner that allows it to receive the COMEX average price in the month of shipment while the customers pay the fixed price they requested. FCX accomplishes this by entering into copper futures and swap contracts and then liquidating the copper futures contracts and settling the copper swap contracts during the month of shipment, which generally results in FCX receiving the COMEX average copper price in the month of shipment. Hedging gains or losses from these copper futures and swap contracts are recorded in revenues. FCX did not have any significant gains or losses during the three-month or six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2013 and 2012, resulting from hedge ineffectiveness. At March 31,June 30, 2013, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 5753 million pounds at an average contract price of $3.543.32 per pound, with maturities through MarchMay 2014.

Commodity Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Embedded Derivatives. As described in Note 1 to FCX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, under “Revenue Recognition,” certain FCX copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold sales contracts provide for provisional pricing primarily based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) price (copper) or the COMEX price (copper) and the London Bullion Market Association (London PM) price (gold) at the time of shipment as specified in the contract. Similarly, FCX purchases copper under contracts that provide for provisional pricing. FCX applies the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception in accordance with derivatives and hedge accounting guidance to the host sales agreements since the contracts do not allow for net settlement and always result in physical delivery. Sales and purchases with a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative (i.e., the price settlement mechanism that is settled after the time of delivery) that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is the sale or purchase of the metals contained in the concentrates or cathodes at the then-current LME or COMEX price (copper) or the London PM price (gold) as defined in the contract. Mark-to-market price fluctuations recorded through the settlement date are reflected in revenues for sales contracts and in cost of sales as production and delivery costs for purchase contracts.

A summaryOil and Gas Contracts. As a result of FCX’s embeddedthe acquisition of PXP, FCX assumed PXP's 2013, 2014 and 2015 economic hedge positions that consisted of crude oil options, and crude oil and natural gas swaps. The crude oil and natural gas derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues.

The crude oil options were entered into by PXP to protect the realized price of a portion of PXP's expected future sales in order to limit the effects of crude oil price decreases. These contracts are composed of crude oil put spreads (consisting of put options with a floor limit) and crude oil three-way collars (consisting of a put option with a floor limit and a call option). The premiums associated with put options are deferred until the settlement period. At March 31,June 30, 2013, follows:the deferred option premiums and accrued interest associated with the crude oil option contracts totaled $478 million, which was included as a component of the fair value of the crude oil options.

If the index price is less than the per barrel floor, FCX receives the difference between the per barrel floor and the index price up to a maximum of $20 per barrel less the option premium. If the index price is at or above the per barrel floor, FCX pays the option premium and no cash settlement is received.
c.
If the index price is less than the per barrel floor, FCX receives the difference between the per barrel floor and the index price up to a maximum of $20 per barrel. FCX pays the difference between the index price and the per barrel ceiling if the index price is greater than the per barrel ceiling. If the index price is at or above the per barrel floor and at or below the per barrel ceiling, no cash settlement is required.

In addition, at June 30, 2013, outstanding crude oil swaps with a weighted-average swap price of $109.23 per barrel cover approximately 7 million barrels (MMBbls) of crude oil, and natural gas swaps with a weighted-average swap price of $4.15 per million British thermal units (MMBTU) cover approximately 57 MMBTUs of natural gas.

Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, FCX’s wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into forward copper contracts designed to hedge its copper price risk whenever its physical purchases and sales pricing periods do not match. These economic hedge transactions are intended to hedge against changes in copper prices, with the mark-to-market hedging gains or losses recorded in cost of sales. At March 31,June 30, 2013, Atlantic Copper held net forward copper sales contracts for 16 million pounds at an average contract price of $3.483.22 per pound, with maturities through JuneSeptember 2013.

These derivatives are the only derivatives that are offset in the balance sheet in accordance with accounting guidance. Based on the respective contract, embedded derivatives on provisional sales/purchases are netted with the corresponding outstanding receivable/payable balances. At March 31, 2013, the net amounts were in a net liability position of $60 million, of which a credit of $43 million was netted against trade accounts receivable, and a credit of $17 million was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2012, the net amounts were in a net asset position of $9 million, of which a debit of $15 million was included in trade accounts receivable, and a credit of $6 million was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
FCX's commodity contracts have netting arrangements with counterparties with which the right of offset exists, and it is FCX's policy to offset balances by counterparty on the balance sheet. FCX's embedded derivatives on provisional sales/purchases are netted with the corresponding outstanding receivable/payable balances.

Plains Offshore Warrants. These are non-detachable warrants, which are considered to be embedded derivative instruments, associated with the Plains Offshore Preferred Stock (refer to Notes 2 and 10 for further discussion).

Credit Risk.  FCX is exposed to credit loss when financial institutions with which FCX has entered into derivative transactions (commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate swaps) are unable to pay. To minimize the risk of such losses, FCX uses counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. FCX does not anticipate that any of the counterparties it deals with will default on their obligations. As of March 31,June 30, 2013, FCX did not have significantthe maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions.transactions was $43 million.

Other Financial Instruments.  Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities, trust assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable and long-term debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents (which included time deposits of $37 million at June 30, 2013, and $514 million at December 31, 2012), accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and dividends payable approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (refer to Note 810 for the fair values of investment securities, trust assets and long-term debt).

a.In the first quarter of 2013, FCX entered into an overnight repurchase agreement with a financial institution. In connection with the agreement, FCX purchases an undivided interest in U.S. government treasury and/or agency securities at market value, and the financial institution agrees to repurchase the securities on demand (the following business day) at the original purchase price plus a designated interest rate. FCX does not participate in the actual return on the underlying securities. Because of its short-term, highly liquid nature, and the insignificant risk of changes in value, FCX considers this financial instrument a cash equivalent.

8.10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). FCX recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. Other than with respect to oil and gas derivatives assumed in the acquisition of PXP, FCX did not have any significant transfers in or out of LevelsLevel 1, 2, or 3 for firstsecond-quarter 2013.

Valuation Techniques

Money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

FCX's investment in MMR's 5.75% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (MMR investment) is not actively traded. Historically, FCX used a pricing simulation model in determining fair value of the MMR investment; however, because of the definitive agreement to acquire MMR (refer to Note 2), FCX incorporated a discounted cash flow model in determining fair value of the MMR investment at March 31, 2013. Accordingly, FCX primarily valued its MMR investment based on a discounted cash flow model that uses risk-adjusted discount rates as the most

Table of Contents


significant observable input and an expected settlement date. FCX continues to classify this valuation within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities (U.S. core fixed income funds, government securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and municipal bonds) are valued using a bid evaluation or a mid evaluation. A bid evaluation is an estimated price at which a dealer would pay for a security. A mid evaluation is the average of the estimated price at which a dealer would sell a security and the estimated price at which a dealer would pay for a security. These evaluations are based on quoted prices, if available, or models that use observable inputs and, as such, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents



Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold purchases and sales have critical inputs of quoted monthly LME or COMEX copper forward prices and the London PM gold forward price at each reporting date based on the month of maturity; however, FCX's contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange. As a result, these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

FCX's derivative financial instruments for crude oil options are valued using an option pricing model, which uses various inputs including IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) crude oil prices, volatilities, interest rates and contract terms. FCX's derivative financial instruments for crude oil and natural gas swaps are valued using a pricing model that has various inputs including NYMEX and ICE price quotations, interest rates and contract terms. Valuations are adjusted for credit quality, using the counterparties' credit quality for asset balances and FCX's credit quality for liability balances. For asset balances, FCX uses the credit default swap value for counterparties when available or the spread between the risk-free interest rate and the yield rate on the counterparties' publicly traded debt for similar instruments (which considers the impact of netting agreements on counterparty credit risk, including whether the position with the counterparty is a net asset or net liability). The 2013 and 2014 crude oil and natural gas swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the inputs used in the valuation models are directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the instruments. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 crude oil options are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the inputs used in the valuation models are not observable for substantially the full term of the instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the crude oil options are implied volatilities and deferred premiums. Significant increases (decreases) in implied volatilities in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The implied volatilities ranged from 18 percent to 62 percent, with a weighted average of 23 percent. The deferred premiums ranged from $5.15 per Bbl to $7.22 per Bbl, with a weighted average of $6.35 per Bbl. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of these derivative financial instruments.

FCX’s derivative financial instruments for copper futures and swap contracts and copper forward contracts that are traded on the respective exchanges are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted monthly COMEX or LME forward prices at each reporting date based on the month of maturity (refer to Note 79 for further discussion). Certain of these contracts are traded on the over-the-counter market and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.hierarchy based on COMEX and LME forward prices.

The preliminary fair value of FCX's warrants associated with the Plains Offshore Preferred Stock was estimated using a valuation model based on the estimated fair value of the underlying Plains Offshore common stock, risk-free interest rates and probability-weighted cash flows. The assumptions used in the valuation model are highly subjective because the common stock is not publicly traded. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the Plains Offshore warrants.

Long-term debt, including the current portion, is valued using prices obtained from a readily available pricing source and, as such, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

At December 31, 2012, FCX's investment in MMR's 5.75% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (MMR investment) was not actively traded; therefore, FCX valued its MMR investment based on a pricing simulation model that used the quoted market prices of MMR's publicly traded common stock as the most significant observable input and other inputs, such as expected volatility, expected settlement date and risk-free interest rate. Therefore, this investment was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. MMR's 5.75% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock was canceled in connection with the acquisition of MMR.

10.11. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSSTANDARD
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that requires companies to disclose information regarding offsetting and other arrangements for derivatives and other financial instruments. Additionally, in January 2013, FASB issued an ASU that limited the scope of the balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (i) offset in the financial statements or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. FCX adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013.

In February12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During July 2013, FASB issued an ASU that clarified the reclassification requirements from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. This ASU requires disclosureenhanced "make-whole" conversion rates triggered by FCX's acquisition of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present eitherMMR expired on the faceMMR's (i) 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (4% Senior Notes) on July 18, 2013, (ii) 8% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (8% Preferred Stock) on July 9, 2013, and (iii) 5.75% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 1 (5.75% Preferred Stock) on July 9, 2013.

12.13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Subsequent to the acquisitions of PXP and MMR, FCX has organized its operations into fivesix primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining, Africa mining, Molybdenum mines and Molybdenum mines.Oil & Gas operations. Notwithstanding this structure, FCX internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis.basis for its mining operations. Therefore, FCX concluded that its operating segments include individual mines or operations relative to its mining operations. For oil and gas operations, operating segments are determined on a country-by-country basis and all of FCX's oil and gas operations are in the U.S. Operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Beginning in first-quarter 2013, the Molybdenum operations division was revised to only report FCX's two molybdenum mines in North America - the Henderson underground mine and the Climax open-pit mine, both in Colorado - as a division (i.e. Molybdenum mines). The molybdenum sales company and related conversion facilities are included with Corporate, Other Mining & Eliminations in the following segment tables. In addition, FCX revised its segment disclosures for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, to conform with the current period presentation.

TableOil & Gas Operations. The recently acquired oil and gas operations include oil production facilities and growth potential in the Deepwater GOM, oil production from the onshore Eagle Ford shale play in Texas, oil production facilities onshore and offshore California, onshore resources in the Haynesville shale natural gas play in Louisiana, and a position in the emerging shallow water, ultra-deep natural gas play on the Shelf of Contentsthe GOM and onshore in South Louisiana. All of the operations are considered one operating segment.



Intersegment Sales. Intersegment sales between FCX’s operations are based on similar arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.

FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of Indonesia mining sales to PT Smelting until final sales to third parties occur. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices result in variability in FCX's net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.
Allocations. FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to a mine or operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level, whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country. In addition, most mining exploration and research activities are managed at the corporate level, and those costs along with some selling, general and administrative costs are not allocated to the operating divisions or segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the discussion of our Business and Properties in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results (refer to "Cautionary Statement" for further discussion). In particular, the financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 include the results of Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas (FM O&G) only since June 1, 2013.

Throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations all references to earnings or losses per share are on a diluted basis, unless otherwise noted.

PENDING ACQUISTIONS

In December 2012, we announced definitive agreements to acquire, in separate transactions, Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) and McMoRan Exploration Co. (MMR). Completion of each transaction is subject to receipt of PXP and MMR stockholder approval of their respective transaction. The PXP transaction is not conditioned on the closing of the MMR transaction, and the MMR transaction is not conditioned on the closing of the PXP transaction. On April 18, 2013, PXP announced that it will hold a special meeting of its stockholders on May 20, 2013, to vote on the proposed acquisition of PXP by FCX. On May 3, 2013, MMR announced it will hold a special meeting of its stockholders on June 3, 2013, to vote on the proposed acquisition of MMR by FCX. Both transactions are expected to close in second-quarter 2013, subject to satisfaction of all conditions to closing. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of these pending acquisitions.

The information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations does not reflect the pending acquisitions of PXP or MMR.

OVERVIEW

During second-quarter 2013, we completed the acquisitions of Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) and McMoRan Exploration Co. (MMR). PXP per-share consideration was equivalent to 0.6531 shares of our common stock and $25.00 in cash, resulting in issuance of 91 million shares of FCX common stock and payment of $3.8 billion in cash (including $411 million for the special dividend paid to PXP stockholders on May 31, 2013). In the MMR acquisition, for each MMR share owned, MMR shareholders received $14.75 in cash ($1.7 billion in cash, net of our and PXP's existing interests in MMR) and 1.15 units of a royalty trust, which holds a five percent overriding royalty interest in future production from MMR's ultra-deep exploration prospects that existed as of December 5, 2012, the date of the merger agreement. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the oil and gas acquisitions, including a summary of the preliminary purchase price allocations.

With these acquisitions, we are a premier U.S.-based natural resource company with an industry leading global portfolio of mineral assets, significant oil and gas resources and a growing production profile. We are one of the world’sworld's largest publicly traded copper gold and molybdenum mining companies in terms of reserves and production.producer. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world's largest copper and gold deposits, in terms of recoverable reserves, significant mining operations in North and South America, and the Tenke Fungurume (Tenke) minerals district in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We also operate Atlantic Copper, our wholly owned copper smelting and refining unitsignificant oil and natural gas assets in Spain.North America, including reserves in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM), onshore and offshore California and in the Eagle Ford and Haynesville shale plays, and an industry leading position in the emerging shallow water, ultra-deep gas trend on the shelf of the GOM and onshore in South Louisiana.

On March 29, 2013, through a newly formed joint venture, we acquired a large-scale cobalt chemical refinery in Kokkola, Finland, and the related sales and marketing business. The joint venture operates under the name Freeport Cobalt, and we are the operator of the joint venture with an effective 56 percent ownership interest. The remaining ownership interest is held by our partners in Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A.R.L. (TFM), including 24 percent by Lundin Mining Corporation (Lundin) and 20 percent by La Générale des Carrières et des Mines (Gécamines). This acquisition enhances our cobalt marketing position, product portfolio and product development capabilities and provides direct end-market accessOur results for the cobalt hydroxide production by TFM. Initial consideration paid was $355 millionsecond quarter and first six months of 2013, includingcompared with the $34 million2012 periods, primarily reflected lower metal price realizations, and include the results of acquired cash. Under the terms of the agreement, there is the potential for additional consideration of up to $110 million over a period of three years, contingent upon the achievement of revenue-based performance targets. The acquisition was funded 70 percent by us and 30 percent by Lundin, which amounts will be repaid prior to any shareholder distributions.FM O&G beginning June 1, 2013. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion.

We are progressing on major development projects, including the development of the underground ore bodies at Grasberg, and the expansion projects at Morenci and Cerro Verde. Studies are also under way to evaluate a major mill project at El Abra and various mill projects to process significant sulfide ore in North America. The advancement of these studies is designed to position us to invest in production growth within our existing portfolio of assets. Refer to “Operations”"Consolidated Results" for further discussion of our current operatingconsolidated financial results for the three- and development activities.six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

On May 14, 2013, a tragic accident, which resulted in 28 fatalities and 10 injuries, occurred at PT Freeport Indonesia when the rock structure above an underground ceiling for a training facility collapsed in an unprecedented and unexpected event. While the accident occurred outside the area of mining operations, PT Freeport Indonesia temporarily suspended mining and processing activities at the Grasberg complex in respect for the deceased and injured workers and their families, to devote all available resources to the rescue and recovery efforts, and to conduct inspections of its facilities in coordination with Indonesian government authorities. Refer to "Operations - Indonesia Mining" for further discussion.

At March 31,June 30, 2013, we had $9.63.3 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and $10.121.2 billion in total debt. During first-quarter 2013, we completeddebt, including $10.5 billion of acquisition-related debt and $7.1 billion of debt assumed in debt financings associatedconnection with the pending acquisitions of PXP and MMR consisting ofMMR. Refer to Note $6.5 billion7 of senior notes and a "Capital Resources and Liquidity" for further discussion.$4.0 billion bank term loan (the Term Loan). No amounts are currently available to FCX under the Term Loan, which will be funded at closing of the acquisitions.

The weighted-average interest rate of these financings approximates 3.1 percent.During second-quarter2013, we took actions to reduce or defer capital expenditures and other costs, and initiated efforts to identify potential asset sales to reduce debt and maintain financial strength and flexibility in response to recent declines in metals prices. Refer to "Capital Resources and Liquidity" and Note 6 for further discussion.

At current copper and oil prices, we expect to produce significant operating cash flows, and to use our cash to invest in our development projects, reduce debt and return cash to shareholders through dividends on our common stock.

Refer to "Consolidated Results" for discussion of items impacting our consolidated results for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012.
OUTLOOK
 
We view the long-term outlook for our business positively, supported by limitations on supplies of copper and oil and by the requirements for copper and oil in the world’s economy. In recent weeks, the price of copper and other commodities have declined as a result of slowing growth in China and weakness in other global economies. We will continue to monitor market developments and adjust our operating strategy as conditions change. Our financial results vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for copper, gold, and molybdenum and oil, as well as other factors. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Because we cannot control the price of our products, the key measures that management focuses on in operating our business are sales volumes, unit net cash costs for our mining operations, cash production costs per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) for our oil and gas operations and operating cash flow. Discussion of the outlook for each of these measures follows.

Sales Volumes.  Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year 2013:
Copper (millions(billions of recoverable pounds):
 
North America copper mines1,4451.5
South America mining1,3351.3
Indonesia mining1,0850.9
Africa mining4350.4
 4,3004.1
Gold (thousands(millions of recoverable ounces):
 
Indonesia mining1,2451.0
North and South America mining1300.1
 1,3751.1
Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds)a
92
Oil Equivalents (million BOE, or MMBOE)
35
b
a.
Projected molybdenum sales include 5250 million pounds produced at our molybdenum mines and 4042 million pounds produced at our North and South America copper mines.
b.Reflects projected sales of oil and gas for the period June 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013.

Consolidated sales from mines for second-quarterthird-quarter 2013 are expected to approximate 1.01.1 billion pounds of copper, 295330 thousand ounces of gold, and 2322 million pounds of molybdenum.molybdenum and 15 MMBOE. Projected 2013 sales volumes of copper and gold are approximately 210 million pounds and 260 thousand ounces lower than the estimates provided in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013, primarily reflecting the impact of the temporary production suspension in second-quarter 2013, impacts of achieving a full ramp-up in underground production and the timing of accessing higher grade material in the Grasberg open pit at PT Freeport Indonesia. Projected sales volumes are dependent on a number of factors, including achievement of targeted mining rates, the successful operation of production facilities,operational performance, the impact of weather conditions and other factors.

Mining Unit Net Cash Costs. Assuming average prices of $1,4001,300 per ounce of gold and $1110 per pound of molybdenum for the remaindersecond half of 2013, and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our copper mining operations are expected to average $1.451.58 per pound of copper for 2013. Projected unit net cash costs for 2013 are higher than previousthe estimates provided in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013, primarily because of the impact of lower copper and gold credits.volumes from Indonesia. The impact of price changes for the remaindersecond half of 2013 on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.0150.01 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and average realized prices (primarily gold and molybdenum prices), and. Unit net cash costs are expected to decline induring the second half of 2013 and in 2014 as we gain access to higher grade ore at Grasberg (54 percent of our projected consolidated copper sales volumes and 63 percent of our projected consolidated gold sales volumes are expected in the second half of 2013).Indonesia. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Production and Delivery Costs” for further discussion of consolidated production and delivery costs for our mining operations.

Oil and Gas Cash Production Costs per BOE. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates for the second half of2013, cash production costs per BOE are expected to approximate $19 per BOE for the year 2013 (reflecting results beginning June 1, 2013). Refer to “Operations – Oil and Gas” for further discussion of oil and gas production and delivery costs.

cash flows (excluding results of the pending PXP and MMR acquisitions) are estimated to approximate $5.55.8 billion (net of $30 million in net working capital uses and changes in other tax payments) for the year 2013 (including $0.4 billion in net working capital sources and changes in other tax payments). Projected operating cash flows for the year 2013 also reflect estimated taxes of $1.91.3 billion, which includes a net income tax benefit of $183 million for acquisition related adjustments (refer to “Consolidated Results – Provision for Income Taxes” for further discussion of our projected consolidated effective annual tax rate for 2013). The impact of price changes for the remaindersecond half of 2013 on operating cash flows would approximate $270200 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $5030 million for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold, and $8055 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.molybdenum and $55 million for each $5 per barrel increase in the price of Brent crude oil.


COPPER, GOLD AND MOLYBDENUM MARKETS

Metals.World prices for copper, gold and molybdenum can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January 2003 through AprilJuly 2013, the London Metal Exchange (LME) spot copper price varied from a low of $0.70 per pound in 2003 to a record high of $4.60 per pound in 2011, the London Bullion Market Association (London) PM gold price fluctuated from a low of $320 per ounce in 2003 to a record high of $1,895 per ounce in 2011, and the Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price ranged from a low of $3.28 per pound in 2003 to a record high of $39.25 per pound in 2005. Copper, gold and molybdenum prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in our “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012., as updated by our subsequent SEC filings.


This graph presents LME spot copper prices and the combined reported stocks of copper at the LME, Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX), a division of the New York Mercantile Exchange (COMEX)(NYMEX), and the Shanghai Futures Exchange from January 2003 through AprilJuly 2013. From 2006 through most of 2008, limited supplies, combined with growing demand from China and other emerging economies, resulted in high copper prices and low levels of inventories. In late 2008, slowing consumption, turmoil in the U.S. financial markets and concerns about the global economy led to a sharp decline in copper prices, which reached a low of $1.26 per pound in December 2008. Higher copper prices since that time are attributable to a combination of demand from developing economies and

pro-growth monetary and fiscal policy decisions in Europe, China and the U.S. During first-quartersecond-quarter 2013, LME spot copper prices ranged from a low of $3.423.01 per pound to a high of $3.743.42 per pound, averaged $3.603.24 per pound, and wasclosed at $3.443.06 per pound on March 31,June 30, 2013.

Subsequent to March 31, 2013, copper prices have been impacted by demand related concerns, with LME spot copper prices closing at $3.21 per pound on April 30, 2013. Despite the decline in copper prices and increases in global exchange inventories, weWe believe the underlying long-term fundamentals of the copper business remain positive, supported by the significant role of copper in the global economy and a challenging supply environment.

Future copper prices are expected to be volatile and are likely to be influenced by demand from China and emerging markets, economic activity in the U.S. and other industrialized countries, the timing of the development of new supplies of copper and production levels of mines and copper smelters. LME spot copper prices closed at $3.09 per pound on July 31, 2013.

Energy.The market prices for crude oil and natural gas can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January 2003 through July 2013, the Brent crude oil price ranged from a low of $23.26 per barrel in 2003 to a high of $146.08 per barrel in 2008 and the NYMEX natural gas price fluctuated from a low of $1.91 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2012 to a high of $15.38 per MMBtu in 2005. Crude oil and natural gas prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in our “Risk Factors” contained in Part II, Item 1A.


This graph presents Brent crude oil prices and NYMEX natural gas contract prices from January 2003 through July 2013. Oil prices reached a record high of $146.08 per barrel in July 2008 as economic growth in emerging economies and the U.S. created high global demand for oil and lower inventories. By the end of 2008, financial turmoil in the U.S. contributed to a global economic slowdown and a decline in many commodity prices, including oil which reached a low of $36.61 in December 2008. Crude oil prices have rebounded since 2008, supported by a gradually improving global economy and demand outlook. Recently, prospects for increased North American oil supplies led by U.S. shale production and weaker global growth expectations have weighed on the markets. During second-quarter2013, the Brent crude oil price ranged from a low of $97.69 per barrel to a high of $111.08 per barrel, averaged $103.36 per barrel and was $102.16 per barrel on June 30, 2013. The Brent crude oil price was $107.70 on July 31, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. The preparation of these statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base these estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances; however, reported results could differ from those based on the current estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As a result of the acquisitions of PXP and MMR, the following provides updates to the critical accounting policies and estimates presented in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Oil and Gas Reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. The term “reasonable certainty” means a high degree of confidence that the quantities of

2540

Table of Contents                 


oil and natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. Engineering estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves directly impact financial accounting estimates, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and the full cost ceiling limitation. Preliminary estimates of total proved reserves, which are determined using methods prescribed by the U.S. SEC, including the use of an average price calculated as the trailing twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month reference price as adjusted for location and quality differentials. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than the average prices and costs as of the date of the estimate.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond our control. Future development and abandonment costs are determined annually for each of our properties based upon its geographic location, type of production structure, water depth, reservoir depth and characteristics, currently available procedures and consultations with engineering consultants. Because these costs typically extend many years into the future, estimating these future costs is difficult and requires management to make judgments that are subject to future revisions based upon numerous factors, including changing technology and the political and regulatory environment. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating the recovery from underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Because all reserve estimates are subjective, the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, production and operating costs, the amount and timing of future development expenditures and future oil and gas sales prices may all differ from those assumed in our estimates.

Changes to estimates of proved reserves could result in changes to the prospective depletion rate for our oil and gas operations, which could have a significant impact our results of operations. Based on our estimated proved reserves and our net oil and gas properties subject to amortization at June 30, 2013, a 10 percent increase in our costs subject to depletion would increase our depletion rate by approximately $3.37 per BOE and a 10 percent reduction to proved reserves would increase our depletion rate by approximately $3.75 per BOE. Changes in estimates of proved oil and gas reserves may also affect our assessment of the impairments of oil and gas properties and goodwill. We believe that if our aggregate estimated proved reserves were significantly revised, such a revision could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Impairments of Oil and Gas Properties. As discussed in Note 3, we follow the full cost method of accounting whereby all costs associated with oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized and amortized to expense under the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. Additionally, at June 30, 2013, we had $11.4 billion of costs for unproved oil and gas properties, which are excluded from amortization. These costs will be transferred into the amortization base as the properties are evaluated and proved reserves are established or if impairment is determined. We assess our unproved properties at least annually, and if impairment is indicated, the amount of the impairment is added to the amortization base. Accordingly, an impairment of unproved properties does not immediately result in the recognition of a charge to the consolidated statements of income, but rather increases the costs subject to amortization. The transfer of costs into the amortization base involves a significant amount of judgment and may be subject to changes over time based on our drilling plans and results, geological and geophysical evaluations, the assignment of proved reserves, and other factors.

We review the carrying value of our oil and gas properties each quarter on a country-by-country basis in accordance with full cost accounting rules. In evaluating our oil and gas properties for impairment, estimates of future cash flows are used (refer to Note 3, for further discussion of the ceiling test calculation). Additionally, SEC rules require that we price our future oil and gas production at the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month reference prices adjusted for location and quality differentials. Such prices are utilized except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. The pricing in ceiling test impairment calculations required by full cost accounting may cause results that are not in line with market conditions that exist at the end of an accounting period. For example, in periods of increasing oil and gas prices, the use of a twelve-month average price in the ceiling test calculation may result in an impairment. Conversely, in times of declining prices, ceiling test calculations may not result in an impairment. At June 30, 2013, with respect to our U.S. oil and gas properties, our only cost center, the "ceiling" exceeded net capitalized costs by approximately 10 percent and we did not record an impairment.

Table of Contents


Because the ceiling test used to evaluate impairment of our oil and gas properties requires us to make several estimates and assumptions that are subject to risk and uncertainty, changes in these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of our oil and gas properties. Events that could result in impairment of our oil and gas properties include, but are not limited to, decreases in future oil and natural gas prices, decreases in estimated proved oil and gas reserves and any event that might otherwise have a material adverse effect on our oil and gas production levels or costs. Any potential future impairment charge would not have an impact on our operating cash flows.

Goodwill. At June 30, 2013, the carrying value of goodwill related to our oil and gas acquisitions totaled $1.9 billion (refer to Note 3 for further discussion). The final valuation of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is not complete and the carrying amounts initially assigned to the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests may change as the fair value analysis is completed. Any adjustments to the recorded values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in the acquisitions of PXP and MMR could impact the amount of goodwill recorded. In accordance with accounting rules, goodwill resulting from a business combination is assigned to the acquiring entity's reporting units that are expected to benefit from the business combination. The reporting unit to which goodwill is allocated under full cost accounting is the associated full cost pool. As discussed in Note 3, our oil and gas operations currently have one cost center, the U.S; therefore, goodwill has been allocated to the oil and gas reporting unit.

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at least annually. We will review goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that may indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying amount.

Because cash flows used to assess recoverability of goodwill will require us to make several estimates and assumptions that are subject to risk and uncertainty, changes in these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of recorded goodwill. Additionally, because projected oil and gas prices represent a critical assumption used in evaluating goodwill for impairment, future decreases in oil and gas prices could result in impairment of goodwill. Other events that could indicate impairment of goodwill assigned to our U.S. oil and gas reporting unit include, but are not limited, a decrease in estimated oil and gas reserves, sales of oil and gas properties, a significant adverse change in the economic or business climate and any event that might otherwise have a material adverse affect on our oil and gas production volumes or future development costs. Furthermore, as our U.S. full cost pool represents a depleting asset, absent net increases in the fair value of the reporting unit, the amount of recorded goodwill could be impaired at a future date; any future goodwill impairment charge would not have an impact on our operating cash flows.

Provisionally Priced Copper Sales
During the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013, 4645 percent of our mined copper was sold in concentrate, 2829 percent as cathode and 26 percent as rod from our North America operations. Substantially all of our copper concentrate and cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted LME monthly average spot copper prices. We receive market prices based on prices in the specified future period, which results in price fluctuations recorded through revenues until the date of settlement. We record revenues and invoice customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on our provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. To the extent final prices are higher or lower than what was recorded on a provisional basis, an increase or decrease to revenues is recorded each reporting period until the date of final pricing. Accordingly, in times of

rising copper prices, our revenues benefit from adjustments to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales pursuant to contracts entered into in prior periods; in times of falling copper prices, the opposite occurs.

At March 31,June 30, 2013, we had provisionally priced copper sales at our copper mining operations, primarily South America and Indonesia, totaling 340306 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $3.413.06 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the March 31,June 30, 2013, provisional price recorded would have a net impact on our 2013 consolidated revenues of approximately $2321 million ($1211 million to net income attributable to common stockholders). The LME spot copper price closed at $3.213.09 per pound on April 30,July 31, 2013.

Oil & Gas Derivative Instruments
Our oil and gas operations use various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk related to sales of oil and gas production. These instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting and mark-to-market price fluctuations are reflected in revenues each period. A variety of derivative instruments, including swaps, put and call options, and various combinations of these instruments are in place to protect certain levels of oil and gas cash flows through 2015.

Production and Delivery Costs
Consolidated production and delivery costs increased to $2.72.9 billion in first-quartersecond-quarter2013 and $5.6 billion for the first six months of 2013, compared with $2.42.6 billion in first-quartersecond-quarter 2012 and $5.1 billion for the first six months of2012. Excluding production and delivery costs associated with oil and gas operations ($89 million for June 2013), higher production and delivery costs for our mining operations primarily reflectingreflected higher production in Africa and North America. The first six months of 2013 also reflected higher production in Indonesia and Africa and higher costs in North and South America.

Consolidated unit site production and delivery costs (before net noncash and other costs) for our copper mining operations averagedwere $1.942.11 per pound of copper in first-quartersecond-quarter 2013, compared with $1.962.02 for the first six months of2013, $2.01 per pound of copper in first-quartersecond-quarter 2012, and $1.98 for the first six months of2012. Higher consolidated unit site production and delivery costs in the 2013 periods primarily reflectingreflected higher mining rates in North America and higher costs in South America. The second-quarter2013 was also impacted by lower copper sales volumes in Indonesia, and Africa,the higher mining rates and costs in the Americas for the first six months of 2013 were partly offset by higher costscopper sales volumes in North and South America.Indonesia. Assuming achievement of current volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit site production and delivery costs are expected to average $1.891.94 per pound of copper for the year 2013. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs associated with our operating divisions, and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Our copper mining operations require significant energy, principally diesel, electricity, coal and natural gas. Energy costs approximated 21 percent of our consolidated copper production costs in 2012 and are expected to approximate 2120 percent for the year 2013, including purchases of approximately 270 million gallons of diesel fuel; 7,5007,400 gigawatt hours of electricity at our North America, South America and Africa copper mining operations (we generate all of our power at our Indonesia mining operation); 760685 thousand metric tons of coal for our coal power plant in Indonesia; and 1 million MMBTU (million British thermal units)MMBtu of natural gas at certain of our North America mines.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization expense totaled $329530 million in first-quartersecond-quarter 2013 and $267859 million for the first six months of2013 (which included $169 million for our oil and gas operations in June 2013) compared with, $291 million in first-quartersecond-quarter2012 and $558 million for the first six months of 2012. DepreciationOur mining depreciation will vary under the unit of production (UOP)UOP method as a result of changes in sales volumes and the related UOP rates at our individual mines, which have increased because of asset additions. Higher depreciation, depletion and amortization for our mining operations primarily reflected higher production in Africa, North America and at our molybdenum operations, and asset additions in South America and Indonesia. The first six months of 2013 also reflects higher production from Indonesia.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $113186 million in first-quartersecond-quarter2013 and $299 million for the first six months of 2013, compared with $10497 million in first-quartersecond-quarter2012 and $201 million for the first six months of 2012, primarily reflectingbecause of costs recorded in first-quarter2013 associated with the pending acquisitions of PXP and MMR and for the March 2013 acquisition of the cobalt chemical refinery business.MMR. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of these acquisitions.

Favorable explorationExploration results indicate opportunities for what we believe could be significant future potential reserve additions in North and South America and in the Tenke minerals district. The drilling data in North America continues to indicate the potential for expanded sulfide production.

For the year 2013, exploration and research expenditures for our mining operations are expected to approximate $280220 million, including $235185 million for exploration. ExplorationMining exploration activities will continue to focus primarily on the potential for future reserve additions in our existing mineral districts. Approximately one-thirdProjected exploration spending for 2013 is approximately 20 percent lower than the estimates provided in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013, as a result of the 2013 budget is associated with global greenfield exploration projects.ongoing efforts to reduce capital spending and other operating costs (refer to "Capital Resources and Liquidity" for further discussion).

As discussed in Note 3, exploration costs for our oil and gas operations are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties within property, plant, equipment and development costs on our consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Obligations and Shutdown Costs
Environmental obligation costs reflect net revisions to our long-term environmental obligations, which will vary from period to period because of changes to environmental laws and regulations, the settlement of environmental matters and/or circumstances affecting our operations that could result in significant changes in our estimates. Shutdown costs include care and maintenance costs and any litigation, remediation or related expenditures associated with closed facilities or operations.

Net charges for environmental obligations and shutdown costs totaled $1516 million in first-quartersecond-quarter2013 and $31 million for the first six months of 2013, compared with $1081 million in first-quartersecond-quarter2012 and $91 million for the first six months of 2012.

OPERATIONS

North America Copper Mines
We operate seven copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. All of these mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci, an unincorporatedMorenci. We record our 85 percent joint venture interest in which we own an 85 percent undivided interest.Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.

The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) operations. A majority of the copper produced at our North America copper mines is cast into copper rod by our Rod & Refining segment. The remainder of our North America copper sales is in the form of copper cathode or copper concentrate, a portion of which is shipped to Atlantic Copper.Copper (our wholly owned copper smelter). Molybdenum concentrate is also produced by certain of our North America copper mines (Sierrita, Bagdad, Morenci and Chino), which is sold to our molybdenum sales company at market-based pricing.

Operating and Development Activities. We have increased production from our North America copper mines in recent years and continue to evaluate opportunities to invest in additional production capacity at our North America copper mines in response to positive exploration results in recent years. Future investments will be undertaken based on the results of economic and technical feasibility studies and taking into consideration market conditions.

Morenci Mill Expansion. We are expanding mining and milling capacity at Morenci to process additional sulfide ores identified through exploratory drilling. The approximate $1.4 billion project is targeting incremental annual production of approximately 225 million pounds of copper in 2014 (an approximate 40 percent increase from 2012) through an increase in milling rates from 50,000 metric tons of ore per day to approximately 115,000 metric tons of ore per day, and mining rates from 700,000 short tons per day to 900,000 short tons per day. The targeted increase in mining rates has been achieved engineering activities are nearing completion and construction activities for the new mill and related facilities are in progress. We have incurred project costs ofAt June 30, 2013, $441629 million as of March 31, 2013has been incurred for this project ($147335 million during the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013)., with approximately $1.0

a.Reflects sales of molybdenum produced by certain of the North America copper mines to our molybdenum sales company at market-based pricing.

Our North America copper mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. HigherAs anticipated, average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) of $1.861.92 per pound of copper in first-quartersecond-quarter2013 and $1.89 per pound for the first six months of 2013, compared withwere higher than unit net cash costs of $1.511.62 per pound in first-quartersecond-quarter2012 and $1.57 per pound for the first six months of 2012, primarily reflectedreflecting higher mining rates and lower molybdenum credits.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, North America's average unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.

50




Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and an average price of $1110 per pound of molybdenum for the remaindersecond half of 2013, we estimate that average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our North America copper mines would approximate $1.891.87 per pound of copper for the year 2013, compared with $1.67 per pound in 2012. North America's projected average unit net cash costs would change by approximately $0.0250.015 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum during the remaindersecond half of 2013.

South America Mining
We operate four copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru, and El Abra, Candelaria and Ojos del Salado in Chile. We own a 53.56 percent interest in Cerro Verde, a 51 percent interest in El Abra, and an 80 percent interest in both Candelaria and Ojos del Salado. All operations in South America are consolidated in our financial statements.

South America mining includes open-pit and underground mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. Production from our South America mines is sold as copper concentrate or copper cathode under long-term contracts. Our South America mines ship a portion of their copper concentrate inventories to Atlantic Copper (our wholly owned copper smelter). In addition to copper, the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mines produce gold and silver, and the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrates thatwhich are sold to our molybdenum sales company at market-based pricing.

Operating and Development Activities.
Cerro Verde Expansion. We have commenced initial construction activities associated with a large-scale expansion at Cerro Verde. The project with an estimated cost of $4.4 billion, will expand the concentrator facilities from 120,000 metric tons of ore per day to 360,000 metric tons of ore per day and provide incremental annual production of approximately 600 million pounds of copper and 15 million pounds of molybdenum beginning in 2016. Considering the long-term nature and large size of the project, actual costs could vary from these estimates. Project costs ofAt June 30, 2013, $641849 million havehas been incurred as of March 31, 2013for this project ($149358 million during the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013)., with approximately $3.6 billion remaining to be incurred.

An agreement has been reached with the Regional Government of Arequipa, the National Government, Servicio de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Arequipa S.A. (SEDAPAR) and other local institutions to allow Cerro Verde to finance the engineering and construction of a wastewater treatment plant for Arequipa. Once Cerro Verde obtains a license for the treated water it would be used to supplement existing water supplies to support the concentrator expansion.  

El Abra Sulfide. We continue to engage in studies to evaluate a potential large-scale milling operation at El Abra to process additional sulfide material and to achieve higher recoveries. Exploration results at El Abra have identified a significant sulfide resource. Future long-term investments will require evaluation and the completion of feasibility studies and will be dependent on overall market conditions.

For the year 2013, consolidated sales volumes from South America mines are expected to approximate 1.341.3 billion pounds of copper compared with sales of 1.25 billion pounds of copper in 2012, primarily reflect the mining ofreflecting higher grade ore at Candelaria. Refer to "Outlook" for projected gold and molybdenum sales volumes.

Unit Net Cash Costs. Unit net cash costs per pound of copper is a measure intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Gross Profit per Pound of Copper

The following tables summarize unit net cash costs and gross profit per pound at the South America mining operations for the second quarters and first quarterssix months of 2013 and 2012.

Our South America mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Higher average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) of $1.511.54 per pound of copper in first-quartersecond-quarter2013 and $1.53 per pound for the first six months of 2013, compared with $1.401.49 per pound in first-quartersecond-quarter2012 and $1.45 per pound for the first six months of 2012, primarily reflected higher costs for maintenance and repairs.mining costs.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, South America's unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.

Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results - Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $1,4001,300 per ounce of gold and $1110 per pound of molybdenum for the remaindersecond half of 2013, we estimate that average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our South America mining operations would approximate $1.441.42 per pound of copper for the year 2013, compared with $1.50 per pound in 2012.

Indonesia Mining
Indonesia mining includes PT Freeport Indonesia’s Grasberg minerals district. We own 90.64 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia, including 9.36 percent owned through our wholly owned subsidiary, PT Indocopper Investama. As previously reported in Note 14 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we have agreed to consider a potential sale of our interest in PT Freeport Indocopper Investama at fair market value. PT Freeport Indonesia is currently engaged in discussions with the Indonesian government related to its Contract of Work (COW) and intends to conclude that process before proceeding with any further discussions about thea potential sale of an interest in PT Indocopper Investama.

PT Freeport Indonesia produces copper concentrates, which contain significant quantities of gold and silver. Substantially all of PT Freeport Indonesia’s copper concentrates are sold under long-term contracts, of which approximately one-half is sold to Atlantic Copper (our wholly owned copper smelter) and PT Smelting (PT Freeport Indonesia’s 25-percent owned copper smelter and refinery in Indonesia) and the remainder to other third-party customers.

We have established certain unincorporated joint ventures with Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto), under which Rio Tinto has a 40 percent interest in certain assets and future production exceeding specified annual amounts of copper, gold and silver. Refer to Note 2 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, for discussion of our joint ventures with Rio Tinto.

PT Freeport Indonesia has commenced discussions with union officials regarding its bi-annual labor agreement which is scheduled for renewal in September 2013. For additional discussion of risks associated with our operations in Indonesia, including labor matters, refer to “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Operating and Development Activities. We have several projects in progress in the Grasberg minerals district, primarily related to the development of the large-scale, high-grade underground ore bodies. In aggregate, these underground ore bodies are expected to ramp up over several years to produce approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day following the currently anticipated transition from the Grasberg open pit in 2017. Over the next five years, estimated aggregate capital spending on these projects is currently expected to average $735$760 million per year ($585600 million per year net to PT Freeport Indonesia). Considering the long-term nature and large size of these projects, actual costs could vary from these estimates.

The following provides additional information on the continued development of the Common Infrastructure project, the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine and development of the Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) ore body that lies below the Deep Ore Zone (DOZ) underground mine.

Common Infrastructure and Grasberg Block Cave. In 2004, PT Freeport Indonesia commenced its Common Infrastructure project to provide access to its large undeveloped underground ore bodies located in the Grasberg minerals district through a tunnel system located approximately 400 meters deeper than its existing underground tunnel system. In addition to providing access to our underground ore bodies, the tunnel system will enable PT Freeport Indonesia to conduct future exploration in prospective areas associated with currently identified ore bodies. The tunnel system was completed to the Big Gossan terminal, and the Big Gossan mine was brought into production in fourth-quarter 2010. Development of the DMLZ and Grasberg Block Cave underground mines is advancing.

The Grasberg Block Cave underground mine accounts for more than 40 percent of our recoverable proven and probable reserves in Indonesia. Production at the Grasberg Block Cave mine is currently scheduled to commence in 2017, at the end of mining the Grasberg open pit (currently expected to occur at the end of 2016). Targeted production rates once the Grasberg Block Cave mining operation reaches full capacity are expected to approximate 160,000 metric tons of ore per day.

Aggregate mine development capital for the Grasberg Block Cave mine and associated Common Infrastructure is expected to approximate $4.4 billion (incurred between 2008 and 2021), with PT Freeport Indonesia’s share totaling approximately $4.1 billion. Aggregate project costs totaling $941 million1.0 billion have been incurred through March 31,June 30, 2013 ($81186 million during the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013).

DMLZ. The DMLZ ore body lies below the DOZ mine at the 2,590-meter elevation and represents the downward continuation of mineralization in the Ertsberg East Skarn system and neighboring Ertsberg porphyry. We plan to mine the ore body using a block-cave method with production beginning in 2015. Targeted production rates once the DMLZ mining operation reaches full capacity are expected to approximate 80,000 metric tons of ore per day.

Drilling efforts continue to determine the extent of this ore body. Aggregate mine development capital costs for the DMLZ mine are expected to approximate $2.3 billion (incurred between 2009 to 2020), with PT Freeport Indonesia’s share totaling approximately $1.4 billion. Aggregate project costs totaling $583652 million have been incurred through March 31,June 30, 2013 ($73142 million during the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013).

CopperIndonesia's copper sales volumes from our Indonesia mining operations increased tototaled 198158 million pounds infor first-quartersecond-quarter2013, 356 million pounds for the first six months of2013, 183 million pounds for second-quarter2012 and 317 million pounds for the first six months of2012. Indonesia's gold sales volumes totaled 151 thousand ounces for second-quarter2013 and 342 thousand ounces for the first six months of 2013, compared with 134 million247 thousand pounds inounces for first-quartersecond-quarter 2012 when labor related disruptions affected operations. Productivity measures have continued to improve resulting in first-quarter 2013 daily mill throughput averagingand 199,400513 thousand metric tons per day, includingounces for the 59,000first six months of2012 metric tons per day from the DOZ underground mine..

As expected, Indonesia'sCopper and gold sales volumes for the first-quarter2013 gold salesperiods reflect estimated production impacts of 191approximately 125 million pounds of copper and 125 thousand ounces were lower than first-quarter2012of gold sales of 266 thousand ounces primarily as a result of the temporary suspension of operations following the accident described below. Lower gold sales volumes for the 2013 periods also reflect mining in a lower grade section of the open pit. Additionally, copper and gold sales volumes for the first six months of 2012 were impacted by lower production rates as a result of the first-quarter 2012 work interruptions at PT Freeport Indonesia.

On May 14, 2013, a tragic accident, which resulted in 28 fatalities and 10 injuries, occurred at PT Freeport Indonesia when the rock structure above an underground ceiling for a training facility collapsed in an unprecedented and unexpected event. While the accident occurred outside the area of mining operations, PT Freeport Indonesia temporarily suspended mining and processing activities at the Grasberg complex in respect for the deceased and injured workers and their families, to devote all available resources to the rescue and recovery efforts, and to conduct inspections of its facilities in coordination with Indonesian government authorities.

Following approval from Indonesia's Department of Energy and Mineral Resources, PT Freeport Indonesia resumed open-pit mining and concentrating activities at its Grasberg operations on June 24, 2013, and resumed underground operations on July 9, 2013. PT Freeport Indonesia has conducted safety inspections throughout its operations, which focused on ground control installation and monitoring. PT Freeport Indonesia's mill rates currently average approximately 200,000 metric tons of ore grades fromper day. Productivity in the open-pit operations continues to improve and the DOZ mine sequencing.is being ramped up. Current DOZ rates approximate 40,000 metric tons of ore per day and are expected to reach 80,000 metric tons of ore per day by mid-2014. For further discussion of the risks associated with underground mining, refer to "Risk Factors" contained in Part 1, Item 1A. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC.

At the Grasberg mine, the sequencing in mining areas with varying ore grades causes fluctuations in the timing of ore production resulting in varying quarterly and annual sales of copper and gold. Consolidated sales volumes from our Indonesia mining operations are expected to approximate 1.10.9 billion pounds of copper and 1.251.0 million ounces of gold for 2013, compared with 716 million0.7 billion pounds of copper and 915 thousand0.9 million ounces of gold in 2012. We expectProjected 2013 sales volumes of copper and gold are approximately 230 million pounds and 250 thousand ounces lower than the estimates provided in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013, primarily reflecting the impact of the temporary production suspension in second-quarter 2013, impacts of achieving a full ramp-up in underground production and the timing of accessing higher grade material in the open pit. Sales from Indonesia are expected to increase in the second half of 20132014 through 2016 as PT Freeport Indonesia gains access to higher ore grades and achieves the targeted ramp up in production from the DOZ underground mine to approximately 80,000grades.

A significant portion of PT Freeport Indonesia's costs are fixed and unit costs vary depending on production volumes. Indonesia's unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) increased to $1.342.71 per pound of copper in first-quartersecond-quarter 2013, compared with $0.331.37 per pound in first-quartersecond-quarter2012, primarily reflecting the impact of the temporary production suspension in second-quarter 2013 and lower gold credits.

Table of Contents


Average unit net cash costs at PT Freeport Indonesia averaged $1.95 per pound for the first six months of2013, compared with $0.93 per pound for the first six months of 2012, primarily reflecting lower gold credits, partly offset by higher copper sales volumes.

Treatment charges vary with the volume of metals sold and the price of copper, and royalties vary with the volume of metals sold and the prices of copper and gold.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, PT Freeport Indonesia’s unit depreciation rate
varies with the level of copper production and sales.

Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results - Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and an average gold price of $1,4001,300 per ounce for the remaindersecond half of 2013, we estimate that Indonesia's unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) would approximate $1.001.51 per pound of copper for the year 2013, and would change by $0.050.04 per pound for each $50 per

ounce change in the average price of gold for the remaindersecond half of 2013. Indonesia's projected unit net cash costs for 2013 are higher than previous estimates primarily because of lower gold credits. Because of the fixed nature of a large portion of Indonesia's costs, unit costs vary from quarter to quarter depending on copper and gold sales volumes, as well as average realized gold prices for the quarterly period.volumes. Indonesia's unit net cash costs are expected to decline during the second half of 2013 and in 2014 as it gains access to higher grade ore.

Africa Mining
Africa mining includes TFM'sTenke Fugurume Mining S.A.R.L.'s (TFM) Tenke minerals district. We hold an effective 56 percent interest in the Tenke copper and cobalt mining concessions in the Katanga province of the DRC through our consolidated subsidiary TFM and are the operator of TFM.Tenke.

The Tenke operation includes surface mining, leaching and SX/EW operations. Copper production from the Tenke minerals district is sold as copper cathode. In addition to copper, the Tenke minerals district produces cobalt hydroxide.

For additional discussion of risks associated with our operations in Africa, refer to “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012., as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Operating and Development Activities. Our investment in the initial project approximated $2 billion, and as of March 31, 2013, we have received intercompany loan repayments (including interest) of approximately $946 million.

TFM has completed its second phase expansion project, which included optimizing the current plant and increasing mine, mill and processing capacity. The expanded mill is capable of throughput of 14,000 metric tons of ore per day to enable increasing copper production by 150 million pounds to over 430 million pounds per year. Costs incurred to date total approximately $615 million and included mill upgrades, additional mining equipment and a new tankhouse. A second sulphuric acid plant, which was included in the $850 million total estimated project capital cost, is expected to be installed in 2015. The expanded mill facility is performing well, with average throughput rates for the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013 average throughput rates ofaveraging 14,60014,800 metric tons of ore per day. The addition of a second sulphuric acid plant is expected to be completed in 2015.

We continue to engage in drilling activities, exploration analyses and metallurgical testing to evaluate the potential of the highly prospective Tenke minerals district. These analyses are being incorporated in future plans to evaluate opportunities for expansion. Future expansions are subject to a number of factors, including economic and market conditions, and the business and investment climate in the DRC.

Molybdenum Mines
We have two wholly owned molybdenum mines in North America – the Henderson underground mine and the Climax open-pit mine, both in Colorado. The Henderson and Climax mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrates, which are typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrates produced at the Henderson and Climax mines, as well as from certain of our North and South America copper mines, are processed at our own conversion facilities.

b.Revenues reflect sales of the molybdenum mines' production to our molybdenum sales company at market-based pricing. On a consolidated basis, realizations are based on actual contract terms of sales made to third parties. As a result, our consolidated average realized price per pound of molybdenum (refer to "Consolidated Results") will differ from the amounts reported in this table.

Average unit net cash costs for our molybdenum mines wastotaled $7.326.79 per pound of molybdenum in first-quartersecond-quarter2013 and $7.05 per pound for the first six months of 2013, compared with Henderson's unit net cash costs of $6.886.83 per pound in first-quartersecond-quarter 2012, reflecting higher input costs at Henderson and $6.85 per pound for the additionfirst six months of production from Climax.

2012. Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, we estimate average unit net cash costs for our molybdenum mines to average approximately $7.257.10 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2013 (reflecting approximately $7.50 per pound for Henderson and $6.90 per pound for Climax).

Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining
Atlantic Copper, our wholly owned subsidiary located in Spain, smelts and refines copper concentrates and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013, Atlantic Copper purchased 3433 percent of its concentrate requirements from our South America mining operations, 2118 from our Indonesia mining operations and 16 percent from our North America copper mines, and 14 percentwith the remainder purchased from our Indonesia mining operations.third parties. Through this form of downstream integration, we are assured placement of a significant portion of our concentrate production.

Smelting and refining charges consist of a base rate and, in certain contracts, price participation based on copper prices. Treatment charges for smelting and refining copper concentrates represent a cost to our mining operations, and income to Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting. Thus, higher treatment and refining charges benefit our smelter operations and adversely affect our mining operations.

Atlantic Copper is planning a 60-day major maintenance turnaround beginning in September 2013, which is expected to have a net impact of approximately $45 million on second-half 2013 operating results.

We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of Indonesia mining sales to PT Smelting until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions (reductions) to net income attributable to common stockholders totaling $252 million ($0.03 per share) in first-quartersecond-quarter 2013 and $(32)27 million (for the first six months of2013, compared with $(0.03)17 million per share) in first-quartersecond-quarter2012 and $(35) million for the first six months of 2012. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods’ net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $8531 million at March 31,June 30, 2013. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in our net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

Oil and Gas
Our recently acquired oil and gas business (FM O&G) provides exposure to energy markets with positive fundamentals, strong margins and cash flows and a large resource base with financially attractive exploration and development investment opportunities. The portfolio of assets includes significant oil production facilities and growth potential in the Deepwater GOM, strong oil production from the onshore Eagle Ford shale play in Texas, established oil production facilities onshore and offshore California, large onshore resources in the Haynesville natural gas shale play in Louisiana and an industry leading position in the emerging shallow water, ultra-deep gas trend on the Shelf of the GOM and onshore in South Louisiana. Excluding the impact of derivative instruments, approximately 90 percent of our oil and gas revenues are from oil and NGLs.

Exploration, Operating and Development Activities. Our oil and gas business has significant reserves with financially attractive organic growth opportunities. The portfolio includes a broad range of relatively low-risk development opportunities and high-potential exploration prospects. The business will be managed to reinvest its cash flows in projects with attractive rates of returns and risk profiles.

Capital expenditures for our oil and gas operations totaled $190 million during June 2013, including $77 million in Eagle Ford, $52 million in GOM (including GOM Shelf), $30 million in California and $18 million in the ultra-deep gas trend. Capital expenditures for our oil and gas operations are expected to approximate $1.3 billion for the second half of 2013, including approximately $0.4 billion in the Deepwater GOM, $0.4 billion in Eagle Ford and $0.2 billion in the ultra-deep gas trend. Capital expenditures for our oil and gas operations are expected to be funded by

Table of Contents


their operating cash flows. In addition, we are undertaking a plan to divest certain conventional GOM Shelf oil and gas properties and may consider potential additional sales or partnering arrangements, depending on market conditions (refer to "Capital Resources and Liquidity" for further discussion).

GOM.Multiple development and exploration opportunities have been identified in the Deepwater GOM that are expected to benefit from tieback opportunities to available production capacity at the large-scale Holstein, Marlin and Horn Mountain deepwater production platforms, which are operated by FM O&G. We have contracted three drill ships to drill and evaluate deepwater prospects, two of which are currently under construction. Completion of construction and delivery of these drill ships is expected mid-2014 and early 2015, respectively.

At the Lucius development in Keathley Canyon (in which FM O&G has a 23.33 percent working interest) five of the six planned wells have been drilled with the sixth well currently in progress. In December 2011, the operator and its working interest partners sanctioned development of Lucius, a subsea development consisting of a truss spar hull located in 7,200 feet of water with a topside capacity of 80 MBbls of oil per day and 450 MMcf of gas per day. First production is anticipated in the second half of 2014.

In April 2013, the operator of the Phobos prospect (in which FM O&G has a 50 percent working interest) announced that the Phobos-1 well encountered approximately 250 net feet of high quality oil pay in Lower Tertiary reservoirs. The Phobos discovery is located in approximately 8,500 feet of water, approximately 11 miles south of the Lucius development. Phobos' close proximity to Lucius could enhance the economics of this project. The operator and partners are incorporating the data from the Phobos-1 well to determine future plans.

Eagle Ford.We have an attractive position in a section of the Eagle Ford shale play rich in oil and NGLs, located in South Texas. Production from the field has grown significantly in recent years and totaled 43 MBOE per day in June 2013. At June 30, 2013, we had six drilling rigs operating. As part of our capital reduction initiatives, we expect to reduce drilling activity at Eagle Ford over the next several quarters. Our Eagle Ford acreage position provides flexibility to manage our drilling program to meet capital spending and cash flow objectives.

California. Our development plans are principally focused on maintaining stable production levels in our long established producing fields principally onshore in California.

Haynesville. We have rights to a substantial natural gas resource located in the Haynesville shale play in North Louisiana. Drilling activities in recent years have been significantly reduced as a result of low natural gas prices. The field is currently being operated to maximize cash flows in a low natural gas price environment. FM O&G has flexibility to manage its drilling program while preserving its large resource to benefit from potentially higher future natural gas prices.

Ultra-deep Trend. We have a leading industry position in the emerging ultra-deep trend with a significant onshore and offshore lease acreage position with high quality prospects and the potential to develop a significant long-term, low-cost source of natural gas. Data from seven wells drilled to date indicate the presence of geologic formations that are analogous to productive formations in the Deepwater GOM and onshore in the Gulf Coast region. The near-term focus is on further defining the trend onshore. We currently have two onshore ultra-deep exploration prospects in-progress, including Lineham Creek (in which FM O&G has a 36 percent working interest) and Lomond North in the Highlander area (in which FM O&G has a 72 percent working interest). Our 2014 development plans are expected to include activities at the Davy Jones No. 2 well (in which FM O&G has a 63.4 percent working interest) and Blackbeard West No. 1 well (in which FM O&G has a 69.4 percent working interest).

a.Cash operating margin for our oil and gas operations reflects realized revenues less cash production costs. Realized revenues exclude unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments and cash production costs exclude accretion and other costs. For reconciliations of realized revenues (including average realizations for oil, natural gas and NGLs) and cash production costs per BOE to revenues and production and delivery costs reported in our consolidated financial statements, refer to "Product Revenues and Production Costs."

In June 2013, realized revenues for our oil and gas operations averaged $74.37 per BOE and cash production costs averaged $16.58 per BOE, resulting in a cash operating margin of $57.79 per BOE. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates for the second half of 2013, cash production costs are expected to approximate $19 per BOE for the year 2013 (reflecting results beginning June 1, 2013).

During June 2013, Brent crude oil price averaged $103.38 per barrel. Our average realized price for crude oil in June 2013 was $97.42 per barrel, or 94 percent of Brent. Excluding the impact of derivative instruments, the June 2013 average realized price for crude oil was $97.05 per barrel.

During June 2013, the NYMEX gas price for the June 2013 contract was $4.15 per MMBtu. Our average realized price for natural gas in June 2013 was $3.86 per MMBtu, or approximately 93 percent of NYMEX. Excluding the impact of derivative instruments, the June 2013 average realized price for natural gas was $3.81 per MMBtu.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our operating cash flows vary with prices realized from copper, gold, molybdenum and molybdenum sales,oil, our sales volumes, production costs, income taxes, other working capital changes and other factors. InDuring second-quarter2013, we took actions to reduce capital expenditures and other costs, and initiated efforts to identify potential asset sales to reduce debt and maintain financial strength and flexibility in response to recent years, strong operating performancedeclines in metals prices. As a first step, we have reduced our budgeted future capital expenditures, exploration and favorable copperother costs by a total of $1.9 billion in 2013 and gold prices2014, including $1.0 billion in reductions and deferrals of mining capital projects, $0.4 billion in reduced oil and gas investments and $0.5 billion in reduced minerals exploration, research and other costs. Capital spending plans remain under review and will be revised as market conditions warrant. 

We have enabled usalso initiated a process to divest certain oil and gas properties from our conventional GOM Shelf properties. We have a broad set of natural resource assets which provide many alternatives for future actions to enhance our financial flexibility and liquidityvalue for shareholders. Additional capital cost reductions and divestitures will be pursued as required to maintain a strong balance sheet while preserving a strong resource position reduce debt and pay cash dividends to shareholders, while pursuingportfolio of assets with attractive long-term growth opportunities. We view the long-term outlook for our business positively, supported by limitations on supplies of copper and by the requirements for copper in the world’s economy, and will continue to adjust our operating strategy as market conditions change.prospects.

Refer to Note 67 for further discussion.

Operating Activities
During the first-quarterfirst six months of 2013, we generated operating cash flows totaling $831 million1.9 billion, net (net of $430195 million for working capital uses and changes in other tax payments. Operatingpayments), compared with operating cash flows for the first-quarterfirst six months of 2012 totaled $801 million2.0 billion, net (net of $720774 million for working capital uses and changes in other tax payments.payments). The decrease in net working capital uses and changes in other tax payments was primarily associated with changes in accounts receivable. As discussed in "Consolidated Results - Revenues," substantially all of our copper concentrate and cathode sales contracts are provisionally priced; accordingly, the quarter-end forward price is a major determinate of recorded revenues and the resulting receivables. At June 30, 2013, our provisionally prices copper sales we recorded at an average of $3.06 per pound of copper, compared with $3.49 per pound at June 30, 2012.

Excluding impacts for pending acquisitions, and basedBased on current mineoperating plans and subject to future copper, gold, molybdenum and molybdenumoil prices, we expect estimated operating cash flows for the year 2013 plus available cash to be sufficient to fund our budgeted capital expenditures, dividends, noncontrolling interest distributions and other cash requirements for the year. Refer to “Outlook” for further discussion of projected operating cash flows for the year 2013.

The remaining take-or-pay contracts primarily comprise the procurement of copper concentrates ($1.0 billion), electricity ($507 million) and transportation services ($495 million). Some of our take-or-pay contracts are settled based on the prevailing market rate for the service or commodity purchased, and in some cases, the amount of the actual obligation may change over time because of market conditions. Obligations for copper concentrates provide for deliveries of specified volumes to Atlantic Copper at market-based prices. Electricity obligations are primarily for contractual minimum demand at the South America and Tenke mines. Transportation obligations are primarily for South America contracted ocean freight and for North America rail freight.

Litigation and Other Contingencies
Other than as disclosed in Note 98 and contained in "Legal Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1. of this quarterly report, there have been no material changes to our contingencies associated with legal proceedings and other matters since the end of 2012. Refer to Note 13 and "Legal Proceedings" contained in Part I, Item 3. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, for further information regarding legal proceedings and other matters.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

During second-quarter 2013, we completed the acquisitions of PXP and MMR. Accordingly, the following presents updated disclosures about market risks contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Commodity Price Risk
In addition to the commodity price risk associated with the market prices of copper, gold and molybdenum, as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, our financial results may vary with fluctuations in oil prices. Market prices for crude oil have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Because we cannot control the price of our products, including oil, the key measure that management focuses on in operating our business are sales volumes, production costs and operating cash flows. Refer to “Outlook” for further discussion of projected sales volumes, unit net cash costs for our mining operations, cash production costs per BOE for our oil and gas operations and operating cash flows.

Our recently acquired oil and gas business has historically used derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk for a substantial portion of its oil and gas production. In connection with the acquisition of PXP, we assumed PXP's 2013, 2014 and 2015 derivative contracts that consist of crude oil options, and crude oil and natural gas swaps (refer to Note 9 for further discussion). As a result, we may not benefit fully from increases in oil and gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the derivative contracts. The unfavorable impact of net adjustments to the derivative contracts we acquired in connection with our acquisition of PXP totaled $35 million ($27 million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter2013. Because the oil and gas derivative contracts do not qualify or are not designated as hedging instruments, they are recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues. We expect fluctuations in our consolidated statements of income as changes occur in the index prices.

Following presents the estimated impact of a 10 percent change in Brent crude oil and NYMEX forward prices on the fair values of outstanding oil and natural gas derivative instruments, compared with the forward prices used to determine the June 30, 2013, fair values:
 10% Increase 10% Decrease

Crude oil collars(15) 30
Crude oil swaps(74) 74
Natural gas swaps(20) 20

Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of our oil and gas derivative positions at June 30, 2013.

These contracts may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances. Our derivative arrangements provide us protection on the volumes if prices decline below the prices at which these derivatives are set, but ceiling prices in our derivatives may cause us to receive less revenue on the volumes than we would receive in the absence of derivatives.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We do not expect the impact of recently issued accounting standards to have a significant impact on our future financial statements and disclosures.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

Mining Product Revenues and Unit Net Cash Cost. Unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining

companies, although our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We present gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. We use the by-product method in our presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of our revenues are copper revenues, (ii) we mine ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of our costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals we produce, (iv) it is the method used to compare mining operations in certain industry publications and (v) it is the method used by our management and the Board to monitor operations. In the co-product method presentation below, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent our metals sales volumes and realized prices change.

We show revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as separate line items. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, we have reflected these separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, start-up costs, write-offs of equipment and/or unusual charges. They are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs. As discussed above, gold, molybdenum and other metal revenues at copper mines are reflected as credits against site production and delivery costs in the by-product method. FollowingThe following schedules for our mining operations are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods together with reconciliations to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Oil & Gas Product Revenues and Cash Production Costs per Unit. Realized revenues and cash production costs per unit are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash operating margin of our oil and gas operations expressed on a basis relating to each BOE. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our oil and gas operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Because gains and losses on derivative instruments do not result from sales of oil and gas, we have reflected these separately as adjustments to revenues. Additionally, accretion and other costs are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of cash production costs per BOE. The following schedules include calculations of oil and natural gas product revenues and cash production costs together with a reconciliation to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risks during the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2013. For additional information on market risks, refer to “Disclosures About Market Risks” included in Part II,I, Item 7A.2. of our annualthis quarterly report on Form 10-K10-Q for the yearperiod ended December 31, 2012June 30, 2013. For projected sensitivities of our operating cash flow to changes in commodity prices, refer to “Outlook” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31,June 30, 2013; for projected sensitivities of our provisionally priced copper sales and derivative instruments to changes in commodity prices refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31,June 30, 2013.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.

(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31,June 30, 2013.

(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During second-quarter 2011, we began a phased implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) information technology system to upgrade our information technology infrastructure and enhance operating efficiency and effectiveness. Implementation has been completed at our North America, South America, Africa and Indonesia mining operations and at our downstream operations in Europe, and we expect the initial implementation of the ERP system to be completed at all of our operations in 2013.2013, excluding the recently acquired oil and gas operations. During each phase of the implementation, an appropriate level of training of employees, testing of the system and monitoring of the financial results recorded in the system is conducted. Management has updated our system of internal control over financial reporting for the impacted operating business units.

During second-quarter 2013, we completed our acquisitions of Plains Exploration & Production Company and McMoRan Exploration Co. (collectively known as Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas, or FM O&G). We consider these oil and gas acquisitions material to our results of operations, financial position and cash flows from June 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013. The assets of FM O&G represented 42 percent of our total assets as of June 30, 2013, and the revenues from the FM O&G operations represented 8 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Refer Note 2 for additional information regarding the oil and gas acquisitions.

We are currently in the process of integrating the FM O&G operations, including internal controls and procedures and extending our Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 compliance program to include FM O&G. We anticipate a successful integration of FM O&G's operations and internal controls and procedures and will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities. We expect that our assessment of the effectiveness of our controls and procedures for the year ended December 31, 2013, will include FM O&G.

With the exception of the ERP implementation and the ongoing integration activities described above,
there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2013, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business or are associated with environmental issues arising from legacy operations conducted over the years by Freeport-McMoRan Corporation (FMC - formerly Phelps Dodge Corporation) and its affiliates. We are also involved from time to time in other reviews, investigations and proceedings by government agencies, some of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.

Management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of any proceeding reported in Note 13 and incorporated by reference into Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; although individual outcomes could be material to our operating results for a particular period, depending on the nature and magnitude of the outcome and the operating results for the period. Refer to Note 98 for discussion of updates to previously reported legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to ourDuring second-quarter 2013, we completed the acquisitions of Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) and McMoRan Exploration Co. (MMR). Accordingly, the following discussion updates the risk factors during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. For additional information on risk factors, refer toreported in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors"“Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, by addressing risk factors specific to the newly acquired oil and gas operations:

Financial risks

Extended declines in the market prices of copper, gold, molybdenum, and/or oil could adversely affect our earnings and cash flows and, if sustained, could adversely affect our ability to repay debt. Fluctuations in the market prices of copper, gold, molybdenum or oil can cause significant volatility in our financial performance and adversely affect the trading prices of our debt and common stock.

In addition to the financial risks related to market prices of copper, gold and molybdenum, as described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, our financial results may vary with fluctuations in oil prices. Historically, the market for oil has been volatile and is likely to continue to be volatile in the future. For the three-year period ending June 30, 2013, Brent crude oil prices ranged from a low of $71.45 per barrel to a high of $126.65 per barrel. Oil prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

Worldwide and domestic supplies of and demand for oil;

The level of global oil inventories;

Weather conditions;

Actions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major oil producing nations;

Political conditions and events in oil producing regions, including the possibility of insurgency, terrorism or war in such areas;

The prices of foreign exports and the availability of alternate fuel sources;

Technological advances affecting energy exploration, production and consumption;

The overall economic conditions in the United States (U.S.) and worldwide, including the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other major currencies; and

Governmental regulations and taxes.

A significant decline in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our financial results and our reserve estimates. We may also have to revise operating plans for our oil and gas operations, including delaying or postponing capital projects. In addition, declines in the prices of oil and gas could result in a “ceiling” write-down of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties and/or of goodwill recorded in connection with the second-quarter 2013 oil and gas acquisitions. For further discussion of our accounting policies and estimates used in evaluating our oil and gas properties and goodwill for impairment, refer to Note 3 (contained in Part I, Item 1. of this quarterly report) and to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (contained in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report). Any impairment charge related to our oil and gas properties or goodwill would potentially have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and stockholders' equity, but would have no effect on cash flows.


91



A significant portion of our oil and gas production for 2013 through 2015, are hedged with derivative contracts, which may prevent us from benefitting fully from price increases and may expose us to other risks.

PXP historically used derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk for a substantial portion of its oil and gas production. In connection with the acquisition of PXP, we assumed the 2013, 2014 and 2015 hedge positions that consist of oil options, and oil and gas swaps. As a result, we may not benefit fully from increases in oil and gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the derivative contracts. In addition, these derivative instruments may also expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including when:

a counterparty to the derivative contract is unable to satisfy its obligations;

production is delayed or is less than expected; or

there is an adverse change in the expected differential between the underlying price in the derivative instrument and actual prices received for our production.

Refer to Note 9 for a summary of our oil and gas derivative positions at June 30, 2013. Because the oil and gas derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and are recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues, we expect fluctuations in our consolidated statements of income as changes occur in the index prices.

Operational risks

Oil and gas reserves are estimates, and actual recoveries may vary significantly.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of reserves. Petroleum engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Because of the high degree of judgment involved, the accuracy of any reserve estimate is inherently imprecise, and a function of the quality of available data and the engineering and geological interpretation. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, our estimates of proved oil and gas reserves are based on the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. Therefore, these reserve quantities will change when actual oil or gas prices increase or decrease. Our estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of the related future net cash flows depend upon a number of factors and assumptions that may vary from actual results, including:

Historical production from the area, compared with production from other comparable producing areas;

The effects of regulations by governmental agencies;

Future oil and gas prices; and

Amounts and timing of future operating costs, transportation costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and workover and remedial costs.

Future decreases in estimated proved oil and gas reserves could result in prospective changes to our depletion rates, which could have a significant impact on our results of operations. Estimated proved oil and gas reserve decreases could also result in impairment of our oil and gas properties and/or to goodwill recorded in connection with the second-quarter 2013 oil and gas acquisitions. Any impairment charge related to our oil and gas properties or goodwill would potentially have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and stockholders' equity, but would have no effect on cash flows. For further discussion of our accounting policies and estimates used in evaluating our oil and gas properties and goodwill for impairment, refer to Note 3 (contained in Part I, Item 1. of this quarterly report) and to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (contained in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report).

We must continually replace oil and gas reserves depleted by production. We may not be successful in acquiring, developing or exploring oil and gas properties.


92



The future success of our oil and gas operations depends on our ability to find, develop and acquire additional oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Without successful acquisition or exploration activities, our oil and gas reserves will decline as a result of our current reserves being depleted by production and we may not be able to find or acquire additional reserves that are economically recoverable.



Operations in the deepwaters of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) present unique and more costly operating risks than operations in the shallower waters or onshore. In addition, our ultra-deep prospects, which target shallow water, ultra-deep formations on the Shelf of the GOM and onshore Gulf Coast, have greater risks and costs associated with their exploration and development than conventional GOM prospects..

The Deepwater GOM area has had relatively limited drilling activity due to risks associated with geological complexity, water depth and higher drilling and development costs, any of which can cause substantial cost overruns and uneconomic projects or wells. The Deepwater GOM also lacks the infrastructure present in shallower waters, which can result in significant delays in obtaining or maintaining production. As a result, deepwater operations may require significant time between a discovery and marketability, thereby increasing the financial risk of these operations.

Our objectives in our ultra-deep prospects target formations below the salt weld (i.e., ultra-deep targets) in the shallow water of the GOM Shelf and onshore in South Louisiana. These ultra-deep targets have not traditionally been the subject of exploratory activity in these regions, so that little direct comparative data is available. To date, there has been no production of hydrocarbons from ultra-deep reservoirs in these areas. As a result of the unavailability of direct comparative data and limitations of diagnostic tools that operate in the extreme temperatures and pressures encountered, it is very difficult to predict with accuracy the reservoir quality and performance of ultra-deep formations. Additionally, ultra-deep formations are significantly more expensive to drill and complete than wells drilled on the GOM Shelf at more conventional depths. Major contributors to such increased costs include far higher temperatures and pressures encountered down hole and longer drilling times.

Operating hazards, natural disasters or other interruptions of our oil and gas operations could result in potential liabilities, which may not be fully covered by our insurance.

In addition to the operational risks that could adversely affect our business, as described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the oil and gas business involves operating hazards such as well blowouts, cratering, explosions, fires, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, pipeline ruptures, pollution, and releases of toxic gas, as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, and hurricanes. Any of these operating hazards could cause personal injuries, fatalities, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, lost production, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages, or property damage, all of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and cash flows.

Our oil and gas operations are subject to extensive regulation, some of which require permits and other approvals. These regulations increase our costs and in some circumstances may terminate, delay or suspend our operations.

Our oil and gas business is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations that are interpreted by governmental agencies and other bodies vested with broad authority relating to the exploration for, and the development, production and transportation of, oil and gas, as well as environmental and safety matters. Certain of these regulations require permits for the drilling and operation of wells. Existing laws and regulations, or their interpretations, can be changed, and any changes can increase costs of compliance and operations, delay projects or significantly limit drilling activity which could adversely affect our business, operating results and cash flows.

Certain of our undeveloped leasehold acreage is subject to leases that will expire over the next several years unless production is established on units containing the acreage.

Unless production in paying quantities is established on units containing undeveloped leasehold acreage during their terms, the leases will expire. If leases expire and we are unable to renew them, we will lose our right to develop those properties. Our drilling plans are subject to change based upon various factors, including drilling results, oil and gas prices, the availability and cost of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, gathering system and pipeline transportation constraints, and regulatory approvals.

93




We have limited control over the development of properties in which we have an interest but do not operate.

Certain of our oil and gas properties, including Lucius, Ram Powell, Lineham Creek, Haynesville and portions of our Eagle Ford acreage, are operated by other companies and involve third-party working interest owners. As a result, we have limited ability to influence or control the operation or future development of such properties, including compliance with environmental, safety and other regulations, or the amount of capital expenditures that we will be required to fund with respect to such properties. Additionally, we are dependent on the other working interest owners of such projects to fund their contractual share of the operating costs and capital expenditures of such projects. These limitations and our dependence on the operator and other working interest owners for these projects could cause us to incur unexpected future costs, result in lower production and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental risks

Our oil and gas operations may incur significant costs related to environmental matters.

Oil and gas operations are subject to environmental hazards, such as oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures, discharges of petroleum products and hazardous substances, and historical disposal activities. These environmental hazards could expose us to material liabilities for property damages, personal injuries or other environmental harm, including costs of investigating and remediating contaminated properties. We may also be liable for environmental damages caused by the previous owners or operators of properties we are currently operating.

Our oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials into, and the protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations, subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages and require suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas. Any noncompliance with these laws and regulations could result in material administrative, civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities. Additionally, our compliance with these laws may, from time to time, result in delays to project implementation, and increased costs to our operations or decreased production. Furthermore, changes to existing laws and regulations, or their interpretations, can result in increased costs of compliance and operations, delayed projects, or significantly limited drilling activity.

In addition, in response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement issued new guidelines and regulations regarding safety, environmental matters, drilling equipment, and decommissioning applicable to drilling in the GOM. The enactment of new or stricter regulations in the U.S. and increased liability for companies operating in this area could adversely impact our oil and gas operations in the GOM.

Proposed federal, state or local regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing could increase our operating and capital costs.

Our oil and gas operations utilize hydraulic fracturing and other types of well stimulation. Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into rock formations to stimulate the flow of oil and gas. Hydraulic fracturing is necessary to produce commercial quantities of oil and gas from many reservoirs, especially shale formations such as the Haynesville Shale and the Eagle Ford Shale.

The process is typically regulated by state oil and gas commissions and agencies, and continues to receive significant regulatory and legislative attention at the federal, state, and local levels. Several proposals are before the U.S. Congress that, if implemented, would either prohibit or restrict the practice of hydraulic fracturing or subject the process to more extensive regulations. Several states have adopted or are considering legislation to regulate hydraulic fracturing practices that could impose more stringent permitting, transparency, and well construction requirements on hydraulic-fracturing operations or otherwise seek to ban fracturing activities altogether. In addition, some municipalities have significantly limited or prohibited drilling activities and/or hydraulic fracturing, or are considering doing so.


94



Although it is not possible to predict the final outcome of any legislation regarding hydraulic fracturing, any new federal, state or local restrictions on hydraulic fracturing that are enacted in areas where we conduct our oil and gas operations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions in the U.S.

Other risks

We may experience difficulties in integrating the oil and gas businesses of PXP and MMR, which could cause us to fail to realize many of the anticipated potential synergies of our acquisitions of PXP and MMR.

We acquired PXP and MMR because we believe that the transactions will be beneficial to our company and our stockholders. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the transactions will depend in part upon whether we can integrate these oil and gas businesses in an efficient and effective manner. We may not be able to accomplish this integration process smoothly or successfully. The difficulties of combining the oil and gas businesses of PXP and MMR potentially will include, among other things:

Coordinating geographically separated organizations and addressing possible differences with respect to incorporating corporate cultures and management philosophies;

Dedicating significant management resources to the integration, which may temporarily distract management's attention from the day-to-day business of the combined company;

Operating in states where we have not previously conducted business; and

Operating an oil and gas business, which is a line of business in which FCX has not historically engaged.
