We are committed to operating in a sustainable manner and collaboratively working with our communities around the world. As part of our commitment to sustainably developing essential energy resources, we recognize our obligations to protect our environment, biodiversity and public health, while finding and producing oil and natural gas resources that make modern life possible.

Our conservation efforts are rooted in each phase of the development cycle. We make it a priority to partner with landowners, government regulators, environmental and non-government organizations (NGOs) and educational institutions to promote conservation and implement technologies and practices that protect the environment and all that depend on it.

From monitoring wildlife habitats and tailoring development plans to planting native seeds as a part of reclamation efforts, we are proud of our approach to protecting and preserving our natural world in a manner that adds value to local and global stakeholders.

“Whether we’re partnering with government agencies to protect wildlife habitats or going the extra mile to rescue an injured raptor, our people show how deeply they care for our environment. We have a responsibility to do things the right way, and that’s demonstrated through our actions every day.”

Working with stakeholders as well as funding and participating in research that monitors sage-grouse populations are only a few of the initiatives sown under the careful watch of our Health, Safety and Environment(HSE) teams and others in Wyoming.

Representatives from the oil and natural gas industry, state agencies, ranchers and conservation groups joined together to establish the Sage-Grouse Implementation Team to help administer and guide the State of Wyoming’s policy for sage-grouse management. The team also sets standards for resource development with the primary focus on protecting habitats important to the species.

Through the use of horizontal and directional drilling, the oil and natural gas industry has reduced surface disturbance by nearly 70 percent; thereby, minimiz-ing impacts on the species. Today, 75 percent of identified leks (breeding areas) have fewer than 12 wells within a 3.2 kilometer radius. As a result, oil and natural gas devel-opment has significantly reduced its impacts on sage-grouse breeding grounds and populations.

Few phenomena in North America are as majestic as the big game migrations seen in Wyoming. Thousands of animals make annual treks to and from winter and summer ranges. We have worked to help study these migration patterns and routes in areas we operate and tailored our operations to avoid impacts.

These studies are helping develop the science guiding the State of Wyoming’s policy to manage migration corridors for big game, such as mule deer, to safeguard valuable wildlife resources for future generations.

Previous studies in the state were developed when the oil and natural gas industry primarily used densely spaced vertical wells that in some cases had significant impact on wildlife habitats.

Today, the modernized oil and natural gas industry uses directional and horizontal drilling to reduce surface disturbance by up to 70 percent.

This means teams can develop Wyoming’s resources with as few as one well pad per square mile – well under the state’s recommended development level of no more than four well pads per square mile within migration corridors.

Previous studies have found that big game change migratory patterns at density levels of five-to-seven well pads per square mile. We recognize the importance of maintaining these historic migrations, and we’re doing our part to ensure migrations continue. “The advent of directional and

horizontal drilling – along with hydraulic fracturing – have led to a dramatic reduction in surface space needed for operations,” said HSE Representative Nick Owens. “These technological innovations now enable us to do more with less, and researchers have discovered big game can migrate through moderate levels of development without any noticeable changes in their migratory behavior. Wildlife is truly gaining ground here in Wyoming.”

The east African country’s Tsavo-Mkomazi ecosystem is home to approximately 11,000 elephants, according to a 2014 aerial census by the Kenya Wildlife Service, but the population of these large mammals has sharply declined over the last decade.

We recognize the challenges the country faces with poaching and the impacts on the economy and local communities that depend on Kenya’s tourism sector.

To counter this trend, we have partnered with the Tusk Trust, a non-profit organization that works on several conservation projects and over the last 25 years has invested in wildlife protection, community development and education programs across Africa.

In Kenya, the figurative phrase, “the elephant in the room,” is not nearly as metaphorical as it may sound.

The Niassa National Reserve in Northern Mozambique is one of the most unique wild places on Earth.

Traditional leaders approved a site within the Reserve for an initiative by the Niassa Lion Project (NLP) that sought to bring jobs and skills training to the communities that live side by side with lions, leopards and elephants.

Recognizing the importance of preserving Mozambique’s lion population and natural heritage through conservation and education, Anadarko supported the construction of the NLP’s Mariri Environmental and Skills Training Center. The goal of the Center is to promote coexistence with the unique wildlife by providing locally relevant, practical skills training and education.

The NLP serves to secure and conserve lions and other large carnivores in the reserve by promoting coexistence between people and wildlife.

While acknowledging the cost to these communities, the NLP’s vision is to recognize the potential ecological, cultural and economic benefits to the people of the Niassa Reserve and all of Mozambique.

Lions are the top of the food chain, and successful lion conservation means preserving the wilderness.

Implemented by and for Mozambicans, the Center was built by a construction team composed entirely of local villagers using locally sourced materials whenever possible. For every brick made for the Center, another brick was made for community projects such as adult education classrooms and water tanks. The construction workers, some of whom formerly resorted

to poaching, learned a wide variety of new skills, including carpentry, masonry and thatching.

The Center is currently focused on three major activities: conducting bush visits, providing conservation training and hosting skills development workshops, including a course on conservation agriculture.

CONSERVING WATER RESOURCES

Our water-management and conservation philosophy is tailored to each asset through unique sourcing, recycling, technology and disposal, as well as an innovative partnership with government and agriculture.

Water-on-Demand System in Colorado

Realizing the importance of fresh water, we primarily use effluent that is purchased from a nearby municipality and processed to clean water standards before being released into rivers and ditches in our operations. We’ve worked with a number of stakeholders and ditch/reservoir companies in northeast Colorado to secure some of this water, which is then moved through more than 140 miles of permanent pipeline.

“We made a commitment toward renewable supplies in Colorado, so we look for surface waters that will be annually renewed, and groundwater that is annually recharged by the surface water,” said Anadarko Water Resource Engineer, Erik Anglund.

CONSERVING WATER

DURING DEVELOPMENT

Reusing Flowback Water in Pennsylvania

Our closed-loop system in the Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale recycles 100 percent of the flowback water from completions operations to be reused at the next well.

Flowback water from operations is collected in steel tanks and trucked to the next completion site. Here, the produced water is filtered and recycled.

A Unique Partnership in West Texas

While seeking ways to overcome current and future water challenges in the Delaware Basin of West Texas, our water team joined forces with agriculture, higher education and government to irrigate a cotton crop using recycled produced water from operations. This six-month cotton-

growing research project is the first of its kind in Texas and required a groundbreaking coalition of partners including Anadarko, the Texas Railroad Commission, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Gibson Energy and Energy Water Solutions. The research report, released in January 2016, serves as the foundation to future discussions on adapting water laws in Texas to facilitate similar conservation efforts.

Large volumes of water are withdrawn from water wells, rivers and municipal waste water.

Water is brought to the drill site through pipelines and water trucks.

Water is stored on site in steel tanks, pits and ponds.

Water is mixed with sand and small amount of chemicals before being injected into the well.

When pressure in the well is released, hydraulic fracturing fluid, formation water, and oil and natural gas begin to flow back up the well.

Water is sent through a filtration system to begin recycling.

When feasible, wastewater is recycled for use in future hydraulic fracturing operations.

Field operators in the DJ Basin are quite familiar with raptors soaring above our facilities in Colorado.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN RAPTORS

Though these impressive birds of prey are common sight overhead, rarely does any employee have a one-on-one interaction quite like operator Michael Mason. During his daily travel to wells in the area, Mason spotted an eagle that appeared to be injured.

“I observed that the eagle did not seem to be acting normally and seemed to havean injury of some kind with one of its wings,” Mason said. “After observing the eagle for about 15 minutes, I decided to call my foreman and see if he had a phone number for the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program (RMRP).”

DURING DEVELOPMENT

After three weeks of treatment and observation, Tincher took the eagle to the RMRP’s Flight complex, where it displayed its strong health by immediately trying to fly to one of the high perches. Later, Mason joined Tincher to release the bird where Mason originally found it.

HUMAN POPULATION: 5.356 MILLION | CAPITAL: DENVER | AREA: 104,185 SQUARE MILES

Mason then sent photos of the injured raptor to RMRP Rehabilitation Coordinator Michael Tincher, who picked up the bird for evaluation and treatment.

“During triage, we weren’t able to find any broken bones and determined that the bird had suffered soft tissue trauma to the right shoulder and was underweight,” Tincher said. “The bird received pain meds and supportive care for several days and was confined to an enclosure in our outdoor hospital complex.”

Helping to protect endangered wildlife is an essential component of operating onshore and offshore, where we continuously strive to be good stewards of the natural world.

LOGGERHEAD TURTLE

Our emphasis on responsibility led to the rescue of a Loggerhead Turtle 120 miles off the coast of Liberia. In 2011, the turtle was detected tangled in a discarded fishing net and freed by marine mammal observers (MMOs) during an offshore seismic survey.

HUMAN POPULATION: 4.294 MILLION | CAPITAL: MONROVIA | AREA: 43,000 SQUARE MILES

Smaller and more nimble than larger seismic survey vessels, guard vessels travel close to the seismic vessel in order to monitor for fishing nets, small fishing boats and debris in the water ahead of the main vessel.

In addition to the guard vessel, two MMOs work onboard the main seismic survey vessel, constantly monitoring a pre-defined exclusion area around the survey vessel for the presence of marine mammals.

During night-time operations and periods of reduced visibility, personnel use towed Passive Acoustic Monitoring equipment to conduct acoustic monitoring by detecting vocalizing cetaceans, such as whales and dolphins.

As deer meander across a lush field of clover, Pennylvania’s Elbow Fish & Game Club Board Member Tom Losch stood just 100 feet away marveling at the landscape.

RIGHTS OF WAY

The clover – and the wildlife it attracted – sat atop a natural gas pipeline, demonstrating how the natural gas industry and nature can co-exist, and serving as a model for an effective partnership between an operator and landowners.

Following the reclamation of the pipeline in our Marcellus Shale operations, we partnered with the Elbow Fish & Game Club to develop and implement best-management practices that enhance native wildlife and promote ecological sustainability on the reclaimed pipeline rights of way.

The solutions were in line with the Club’s holistic approach to land management of its 2,400 acres.

“It’s really an example of what reclamation and restoration of a pipeline – or even a wellpad – can do for wildlife,” said Kevin Yoder, Project Biologist for the National Wild Turkey Federation.

“It is our responsibility to ensure that this facility endures through the time – that it’s here for generations to come,” Losch said.

Our Health, Safety and Environment employees picked specific areas that were suitable for food plots, avoiding those with steep slopes. We also assisted with other preparation steps, such as funding some aspects of the project and taking soil samples. This collaboration includes guidance from external organizations including the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) to monitor and improve habitats for animal species native to north-central Pennsylvania.

We provided and deployed cameras placed near the rights of way and the manpower to monitor the cameras in an effort to track wildlife near the reclaimed area.

WATERFOWL HABITAT

During the initial phase of our operations on the 5,000-acre Rancho Encantado, crews realized their construction plans would result in mounds of excess soil as a result of necessary ground leveling.

As we strive to maintain a strong working relationship with landowners, we approached the ranch’s manager, Cade Green, to see if he could benefit from putting the material to work on the property.

“If you guys will build a berm, we’ll build a duck marsh right next to your facility, and I know the ducks will utilize the marsh,” Green said.

HUMAN POPULATION: 27 MILLION | CAPITAL: AUSTIN | AREA: 268,820 SQUARE MILES

Crews provided enough dirt for berms that eventually created three habitats that attract hundreds of ducks, quail, shore birds, majestic migrating sand hill cranes and more.

The development of a duck habitat is another great example of our commitment to conservation and our drive to ensure operations are compatible with surrounding areas. The large marshes also provide another attraction for guests who visit the ranch.

“It’s pretty rewarding to a landowner who loves waterfowl,” Green said. “If you’re properly managing your widlife, diversity is going to be involved because anything you do for the deer is going to be good for the quail.”

3D RENDERING OF REEF RED HAWK SPAR

RECLAMATION: UNIVERSITY & GOVERNMENT

What do you do with a floating deepwater production facility after it’s produced all the energy resources it can recover? In the case of our Red Hawk spar, we gave it a second life as an artificial reef offshore Louisiana.

RIGS TO REEF

Our Red Hawk spar made history throughout its design life. Heralded as the first cell spar built, Red Hawk reached a peak production of 150 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. In 2014, it earned distinction of being the deepest floating production unit to be retired in the Gulf of Mexico, and soon after, it became the world’s first spar to be reefed.

Used platforms and vessels that no longer have value are often considered as “essential fish habitat” by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Through the Rigs-to-Reefs program – sponsored by a number of agencies including the Bureau of Safety & Environment Enforcement, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the National Marine Fisheries Service — we identified a viable location

of an existing reef site, which was previously unavailable. “The soft, sandy bottom of the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t have a lot of cavernous, hard surfaces on which marine ecosystems can develop,” said Anadarko Facilities Engineer Ryan Kavanagh. “The spar now provides that surface, so that was one aspect that most excited the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries team about the spar becoming an artificial reef.”

The Red Hawk hull joined two production jackets reefed in this block, creating a larger ecosystem.

SURFACE AREA: 600,000 MILES | RIVER SOURCES: RIO GRANDE & MISSISSIPPI RIVER

70 nautical miles from its location, a site that would allow for the hull to be ballasted up and towed vertically to the site.

During concept selection, we surveyed the area using remotely operated vehicles. The footage obtained confirmed the presence of an active marine community in the lower 64 feet of the water column – where the hull would rest – and provided the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries with high-quality footage

they enter the waterways from the sea.

They are then transferred to holding tanks where further research is carried out into aspects such as reproduction and growth rates, with a long-term view to eventually set up a commercial eel aquaculture venture.

The best time to net them is at night during the full moon, two hours either side of high tide. This dictated that our employees joined the netting exercise at night as the young eels began their run upstream from the sea.

Earlier in the day, employees contributed their labor to a tree-planting exercise along the banks of the same stream, which is also part of the Rangitāne effort to restore the environment to a more natural state.

It was in that spirit that members of our New Zealand office in Wellington found themselves standing, at midnight, in freezing, waist-deep water, searching for juvenile or “glass” eels in support of a local aquaculture study.

Eels have long been an important food source for New Zealand’s indigenous Māori people, and the Rangitāne “iwi” (tribe) have for several years been operating a research program to understand how to boost eel numbers in local rivers and streams. The Rangitāne people occupy coastal areas adjacent to the Pegasus Basin off the eastern coast of New Zealand’s North Island.

Juvenile eels make the long and perilous journey from spawning grounds near Tonga in the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand, but just 1 percent survive the transition from sea water to the freshwater environment. In an attempt to reduce this mortality rate, the young eels are captured at the point where

dozens of vitally important species in this ecosystem that depend on these native grasses.”

Native grasses and plants promote a healthy ecosystem and enhance hunting and recreation, ranching and livestock production and pollination and food production, thus increasing the value of the land.

“What we’re doing today,” said Anadarko Production Superintendent David Doland, “is serving others today and for generations to come.”

Using science and environmental studies specific to the region, we’re able to restore pad locations with native seeds that minimize invasive species and maintain the environmental integrity of this unique area.

To determine the appropriate seed mix to meet the landowner’s needs, we turned to scientists at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at the Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

These scientists conduct a 10- to 15-year process of field seed collection from natural locations, evaluation in the Institute’s farm and laboratory, and eventual selection and distribution of seed stock to commercial growers.

“I’ve spent most of my life in South Texas, and one of the best descriptions I’ve heard of this area is that it’s the last great habitat,” said Wallace Nichols of Native Habitat Restoration. “There are literally

In addition to growing production and supporting a vibrant economy in South Texas, we’re equally committed to growing the right way, and that includes restoring the land to its original condition.

AVIAN PROTECTION

An eagle’s size and wing span clearance is taken into account when designing the vertical separation and horizontal clearance along with the use of fused cutout covers.

Anadarko also installs a single fiberglass crossarm to discourage nesting.

Our employees’ innovative spirit also compelled them to design a round screen that sits above our emission control devices, ensuring that birds cannot enter or nest in the equipment.

By drawing on expertise from other areas in which we operate, avian-friendly clearances were incorporated into the power pole design.

As we’ve expanded the use of electricity to reduce emissions at new production facilities, we considered additional efforts to protect local birds and wildlife, specifically large birds of prey.

PLANNING AROUND SENSITIVE AREAS

Field studies conducted during the baseline phase of the Environmental Impact Assessment identified and mapped sensitive habitats for a variety of flora and fauna species, both onshore and offshore.

Using this sensitivity map as a guide, the project team investigated methods to avoid or minimize potential footprint and impacts. The resulting onshore project area of the LNG park effectively reduces the disturbance of sensitive areas by 1,600 acres.

By analyzing the original proposal in light of the sensitivity map, the project team identified an alternate route for the offshore pipeline corridor through a naturally degraded area. To further reduce potential impacts, the pipeline corridor through this less sensitive area was reduced by more than 60 percent in width.

Our Mozambique Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project team has been working since 2011 to tailor its project layout to minimize potential impacts on local environments.

THROUGHOUT DEVELOPMENT CYCLES

VALUING PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS THE GLOBE

1 | Wyoming Game & Fish | United States

Our dedicated employees in Green River refinished the welcome sign for the nearby Game & Fish regional office. The men landscaped, trimmed trees and hauled away the excess material to beautify the environment around the agency’s facilities.

5 | Kenya Red Cross - Greenhouse Project | Africa

We teamed up with the Kenya Red Cross to introduce more than 17,000 students across 33 schools to modern, sustainable agricultural practices. The project aims to meet the schools’ dietary needs through increased food production, while training the students on basic skills that can go a long way toward creating sustainability.

2 | Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado - St. Vrain Park | United States

Protecting sensitive vegetation for wildlife while providing visitors the time of their life through expanded access to fishing, hiking and bird watching were the goals of our longtime partner in organizing volunteers to build a trail around a pond in St. Vrain Park. Located north of Denver, the park is one of only a few home sites for heron and egrets.

6 | Iver Nature Study Center | Europe

Since 2006, we’ve hosted annual activities to enhance the grounds at this two-acre wildlife garden and study center for education and therapeutic activities in the United Kingdom. Since 2010, we’ve also sponsored “Living Classrooms,” a program enabling children to connect and assess nature through outdoor learning.

3 | Loyalsock Township High School - Classroom Conservation | United States

We worked with students to construct and install 150 songbird nesting boxes in north-central Pennsylvania to provide safe rest sites for a variety of songbirds, including the state’s eastern bluebird. Employees also shared lessons on forest management and ecology to further the state’s conservation heritage and our commitment to protecting native species.

7 | National Authority for Aquaculture & Fishery | South America

Coordinating with the National Authority, Anadarko is participating in two projects in artisanal fishing communities on the Caribbean coast. These projects aim to improve food security and income, transfer good fishing practices and strengthen organizational capabilities within fishing associations.

4 | Houston Zoo - Houston Toad Reintroduction | United States

Funding was made available for the Houston Zoo to establish a plan of reintroducing the Houston Toad to its native environment and establishing means of helping it flourish. Once prolific in the Greater Houston Area, the Houston toad was the first amphibian placed on the endangered species list.

8 | Gorongosa Restoration Project | Africa Anadarko and its partners provide funding for the Project’s ongoing conservation efforts in the Gorongosa National Reserve, regarded as one of the world’s most biodiverse landscapes. Our support enhances the Project’s work to protect the ecosystem, create a sustainable tourism industry and assist local communities with socio-economic development.
