Hamilton, Bermuda, February 24, 2011 — Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C., the general partner of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P.(Teekay Offshoreorthe Partnership)(NYSE: TOO), today reported the Partnership’s results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Partnership generated distributable cash flow(1)of $26.9 million, compared to $20.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
On January 26, 2011, a cash distribution of $0.475 per unit was declared for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The cash distribution was paid on February 14, 2011, to all unitholders of record on February 7, 2011.
“The Partnership’s cash flow increased significantly in the fourth quarter, compared to the third quarter, due to a full quarter of earnings from the amended Statoil shuttle tanker master agreement and a return to normal production for thePetrojarl VargFPSO unit,” commented Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C. “The Partnership’s fourth quarter cash flow also benefited from the completion of the acquisition of theCidade de Rio das Ostras FPSO unit and two shuttle tanker newbuildings, the second of which delivered ahead of schedule in December 2010.” Mr. Evensen continued, “However, shuttle tanker operating costs increased during the fourth quarter primarily due to the acquisition of the newbuildingsAmundsen SpiritandNansen Spirit, unexpected repair costs relating to certain shuttle tankers, and the delayed completion of certain seasonal repair and maintenance activities. We expect shuttle tanker operating costs to decline next quarter as the seasonal and non-recurring expenditures are reduced. We are pleased to have the opportunity to acquire the remaining 49 percent ownership interest in Teekay Offshore Operating L.P., a transaction which we expect will be accretive to the Partnership’s distributable cash flow per unit and will also simplify its ownership structure. In addition, the bond and equity financings we completed during the fourth quarter have further strengthened the Partnership’s financial position which has enabled us to pursue such acquisition opportunities.”
Summary of OPCO Offer and Other Recent Transactions
In January 2011, the Partnership received an offer to acquire from Teekay Corporation (Teekay) the remaining 49 percent interest in Teekay Offshore Operating L.P. which the Partnership does not currently own. OPCO currently operates a fleet of 34 shuttle tankers, four Floating Storage and Offtake(FSO)units, nine double-hull conventional oil tankers and two lightering vessels. The offer is currently being reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner and its Conflicts Committee. If accepted, the Partnership anticipates financing the acquisition through a combination of $175 million in cash, which approximates the proceeds raised in the Partnership’s December 2010 equity offering, and the remainder in the form of new limited partner and general partner units to be issued to Teekay.
(1) | Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the Partnership and other master limited partnerships. Please seeAppendix Bfor a reconciliation of distributable cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measure under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). |

During December 2010, the Partnership completed a follow-on equity offering of 6.44 million common units, which provided net proceeds to the Partnership of $175.2 million (including 840,000 units from the underwriters’ over-allotment option exercised in full and the general partner’s contribution). The net proceeds from the offering were applied towards repaying a portion of outstanding debt under the Partnership’s revolving credit facilities, which can be later redrawn for general partnership purposes, including funding acquisitions.
During November 2010, the Partnership issued NOK 600 million in senior unsecured bonds that mature in November 2013. All interest and principal payments relating to the bond have been swapped into U.S. dollars. The aggregate principal amount of the bonds is equivalent to approximately USD 98.5 million and the interest rate is at LIBOR + 5.04 percent.
On October 1, 2010, the Partnership completed the acquisition of the Cidade de Rio das Ostras (Rio das Ostras) FPSO unit from Teekay, which is on a long-term charter with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras), for a purchase price of $158 million. In addition, OPCO, the 51 percent-owned subsidiary of Teekay Offshore, acquired on October 1, 2010 and December 10, 2010, respectively, the newbuilding shuttle tankers, theAmundsen Spiritand theNansen Spiritfor a cost of $129 million per vessel. OPCO also agreed to acquire an additional newbuilding shuttle tanker, thePeary Spirit, for approximately $133 million, concurrent with the commencement of its time-charter contract in July 2011.
Teekay Offshore’s Fleet
The following table summarizes Teekay Offshore’s fleet as of February 1, 2011, including vessels owned by OPCO, of which the Partnership currently owns a 51 percent interest. OPCO’s fleet includes 34 shuttle tankers (including five chartered-in vessels and one committed newbuilding under construction), four FSO units, and 11 conventional oil tankers.

Future Growth Opportunities
Pursuant to an omnibus agreement that Teekay Offshore entered into in connection with its initial public offering in December 2006, Teekay is obligated to offer to the Partnership its interest in certain shuttle tankers, FSO units, FPSO units and joint ventures it may acquire in the future, provided the vessels are servicing contracts in excess of three years in length. Teekay Offshore may also acquire other vessels that Teekay may offer the Partnership from time to time.
Shuttle Tankers
As described above, the Partnership recently received an offer from Teekay to acquire the remaining 49 percent limited partner interest in OPCO which is currently being reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner and its Conflicts Committee. OPCO recently acquired two Aframax shuttle tanker newbuildings (theAmundsen Spiritand theNansen Spirit) and has committed to acquire one additional Aframax shuttle tanker newbuilding (thePeary Spirit) that is scheduled to deliver to OPCO in July 2011. Teekay is obligated to offer the Partnership a fourth shuttle tanker newbuilding (theScott Spirit) within 365 days after its delivery, provided the vessel is servicing a charter contract in excess of three years in length.

FPSO Units
Pursuant to the omnibus agreement and a subsequent agreement, Teekay is obligated to offer to sell thePetrojarl FoinavenFPSO unit, an existing FPSO unit of Teekay’s operating under a long-term contract in the North Sea, to Teekay Offshore prior to July 9, 2012. The purchase price for thePetrojarl FoinavenFPSO unit would be at its fair market value plus any additional tax or other similar costs to Teekay that would be required to transfer the FPSO unit to the Partnership.
On October 19, 2010, Teekay announced that it had signed a long-term contract with Petrobras to provide a FPSO unit for the Tiro and Sidon fields located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The contract with Petrobras will be serviced by a newly converted FPSO unit, namedPetrojarl Cidade de Itajai. The new FPSO unit is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2012, when it will commence operations under a nine-year, fixed-rate time-charter contract to Petrobras with six additional one-year extension options. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, Teekay is obligated to offer to the Partnership its interest in this FPSO project at Teekay’s fully built-up cost, within 365 days after the commencement of the charter with Petrobras.
Financial Summary
The Partnership reported adjusted net income attributable to the partners(1) (as detailed inAppendix Ato this release) of $13.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $12.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Adjusted net income attributable to the partners excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of increasing net income by $36.2 million and decreasing net income by $16.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, as detailed inAppendix A. Including these items, the Partnership reported, on a GAAP basis, net income attributable to the partners of $50.0 million (as detailed inAppendix Ato this release) for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million in the previous quarter. Net revenues(2) for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $203.1 million compared to $181.8 million in the previous quarter.
For accounting purposes, the Partnership is required to recognize, through the consolidated statements of income (loss), changes in the fair value of certain derivative instruments as unrealized gains or losses. This revaluation does not affect the economics of any hedging transactions or have any impact on the Partnership’s actual cash flows or the calculation of its distributable cash flow.
The Partnership has recast its historical financial results to include the results of theFalcon SpiritFSO unit,Petrojarl VargFPSO unit,Rio das OstrasFPSO unit and theAmundsen Spirit newbuilding shuttle tanker relating to the periods prior to their acquisition by the Partnership from Teekay, and for which pre-acquisition results are referred to in this release as the Dropdown Predecessor. In accordance with GAAP, business acquisitions of entities under common control that have begun operations are required to be accounted for in a manner whereby the Partnership’s financial statements are retroactively adjusted to include the historical results of the acquired vessels from the date the vessels were originally under the control of Teekay. For these purposes, theFalcon Spiritwas under common control by Teekay from December 15, 2009 until April 1, 2010, when it was sold to the Partnership, thePetrojarl VargFPSO unit was under common control by Teekay from October 1, 2006 to September 10, 2009, when it was sold to the Partnership, theRio das OstrasFPSO unit was under common control by Teekay from April 1, 2008 to October 1, 2010, when it was sold to the Partnership and theAmundsen Spiritnewbuilding shuttle tanker was under common control by Teekay from July 30, 2010 to October 1, 2010.
On October 1, 2010, OPCO agreed to acquire Teekay Corporation’s interests in two entities, which owned the newbuilding shuttle tankers, theNansen Spiritand thePeary Spirit, respectively. Prior to their acquisition by OPCO, these entities are considered variable interest entities. TheNansen Spiritwas acquired on December 10, 2010 and thePeary Spiritis expected to be acquired in July 2011. As a result, the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of thePeary Spiritfrom October 1, 2010 to the end of the quarter, and theNansen Spiritfrom October 1, 2010 to December 10, 2010, the date theNansen Spiritwas acquired from Teekay Corporation.
(1) | Adjusted net income attributable to the partners is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer toAppendix Aincluded in this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP and information about specific items affecting net income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Partnership’s financial results. | |
(2) | Net revenues represents revenues less voyage expenses, which comprise all expenses relating to certain voyages, including bunker fuel expenses, port fees, canal tolls and brokerage commissions. Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of shipping companies.

Shuttle Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s shuttle tanker segment increased to $49.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $45.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of theAmundsen Spiriton October 1, 2010 and higher revenue generated by five vessels which commenced operating under the amended Statoil master agreement effective September 2010, partially offset by higher vessel operating expenses. Shuttle tanker vessel operating costs increased during the fourth quarter due to the delivery of theAmundsen SpiritandNansen Spirit, unexpected repair costs incurred on certain shuttle tankers, and the delayed completion of certain seasonal repair and maintenance activities.

4
Conventional Tanker Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s conventional tanker segment increased to $18.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $14.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to fewer scheduled drydocking days in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter.
FSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s FSO segment decreased to $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to higher vessel operating expenses in the fourth quarter.
FPSO Segment
Cash flow from vessel operations from the Partnership’s FPSO segment increased to $19.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of theRio das OstrasFPSO unit on October 1, 2010 and the completion of the planned maintenance shutdown of thePetrojarl VargFPSO unit in the third quarter.

APPENDIX B — RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
APPENDIX B — RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure — Distributable Cash Flow (DCF)
Distributable cash flow represents net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-controlling interest, non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gains and losses on vessel sales, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives, income (loss) from variable interest entities, non-cash income taxes, loss on write down of vessels and unrealized foreign exchange related items. Maintenance capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, the Partnership’s capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by GAAP. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net income for the quarter.

The amounts included in this release related to theAmundsen Spiritnewbuilding shuttle tanker Dropdown Predecessor and theRio das OstrasFPSO Dropdown Predecessor figures are only expected to impact the accounting for periods prior to the date theAmundsen Spiritnewbuilding shuttle tanker and theRio das OstrasFPSO were acquired by the Partnership, and therefore will have no effect on the adjusted net income attributable to the partners or distributable cash flow of the Partnership for any period, including the fourth quarter of 2010. |

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management’s current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements regarding: the Partnership’s future growth prospects, cash flows and distributions to unitholders; the expected impact on the Partnership’s future cash flow as a result of the new Master Agreement with Statoil and the addition of three newbuilding shuttle tankers on time-charter under this agreement; the potential for Teekay to offer additional vessels to the Partnership and the Partnership’s acquisition of any such vessels, particularly thePetrojarl FoinavenFPSO unit, thePetrojarl Cidade de ItajaiFPSO unit and the fourth newbuilding Aframax shuttle tanker; the timing and certainty of the Partnership’s acceptance of an offer to acquire the remaining 49 percent interest in OPCO and the expected impact on the Partnership’s future distributable cash flow per unit; and the potential for the Partnership to acquire other vessels or offshore projects from Teekay or third parties. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in evaluating any such statement: vessel operations and oil production volumes; variations in expected levels of field maintenance; increased operating expenses; variability in shuttle tanker tonnage requirements under the Statoil Master Agreement; different-than-expected levels of oil production in the North Sea offshore fields where theAmundsen Spirit,Nansen SpiritandPeary Spiritoperate; potential early termination of contracts, including theRio das OstrasFPSO time-charter contract and the Statoil Master Agreement; failure of Teekay to offer to the Partnership additional vessels; failure to acquire additional vessels due to Teekay Offshore determining that they are unsuitable or not sufficiently profitable to the Partnership; required approvals by the Conflicts Committee of Teekay Offshore’s general partner to acquire from Teekay vessels or ownership interests in OPCO; the Partnership’s ability to raise financing to purchase additional vessels or interests in OPCO; failure to secure a new contract in excess of three years for Teekay’s fourth Aframax shuttle tanker newbuilding; and other factors discussed in Teekay Offshore’s filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Partnership’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
