MARATHON OIL CORPORATION REPORTS
                                  SECOND QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
HOUSTON, July 31, 2008 – Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) today reported second quarter 2008 net
income of $774 million, or $1.08 per diluted share. Net income in the second quarter 2007 was $1.550 billion,
or $2.25 per diluted share. For the second quarter 2008, net income adjusted for special items was $858
million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to net income adjusted for special items of $1.548 billion, or
$2.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2007.

Marathon's second quarter 2008 results include a non-cash, after-tax mark-to-market loss of $220 million on
derivatives intended to mitigate price risk related to future sales of Canadian synthetic crude. The last of these
derivatives is set to expire in the fourth quarter of 2009.

“The second quarter 2008, compared to the second quarter 2007, was a challenging quarter financially,
particularly as a result of the significantly lower refining and wholesale marketing realized margins in a very
difficult downstream environment and the derivatives loss incurred in the Oil Sands Mining segment. However,
our Upstream business had a record quarter in profitability and our Integrated Gas segment continues to
perform well,” said Clarence P. Cazalot, Jr., Marathon president and CEO.

“Operationally, the quarter saw Marathon delivering on our defined profitable growth in the Upstream
segment, with production available for sale increasing more than 8 percent over the same period in 2007 and
we have had two high-margin major development projects brought online within the last two months.

“The Alvheim/Vilje development offshore Norway achieved first oil in early June and is currently producing
from five wells in the Alvheim portion of the development, and the non-operated Neptune development in the
Gulf of Mexico began operations just after the quarter ended. Strong production from Alvheim and Neptune,

                                                                  Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results
and solid operations across our entire Upstream business will help drive Marathon’s production performance
for the year and will contribute significantly to Marathon’s production growth through 2012.

“While the downstream environment remains challenged with tight margins, Marathon is focused on lowering
feedstock costs and increasing efficiency and flexibility by expanding our coking capacity. The 180,000 barrels
per day (bpd) refinery expansion at our facility in Garyville, La., is almost 60 percent complete, on budget and
scheduled for late 2009 startup. Construction recently started on the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrading Project, and
upon completion in late 2010, it will allow us to refine an additional 80,000 bpd of heavy crude oil,” Cazalot
said.

Exploration and Production
Exploration and Production segment income totaled $828 million in the second quarter of 2008, which was
more than double the $400 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily a result of higher
liquid hydrocarbon realizations as well as higher natural gas volumes.

Sales volumes during the quarter averaged 350,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), compared to
338,000 boepd for the same period last year. Due to timing of a lifting, the sales volumes were lower than the
estimate of 356,000 boepd provided in the interim update.

Production available for sale in the second quarter 2008 averaged 374,000 boepd, an increase of more than 8
percent from 345,000 boepd in the same period last year. The difference between production volumes
available for sale and the recorded sales volumes is due to the timing of international oil liftings and natural
gas held in storage. Production available for sale exceeded estimates provided in the first quarter, primarily
due to the deferral of planned plant maintenance in Equatorial Guinea and the better-than-forecast reliability
of the Alvheim/Vilje facilities during ramp-up of production. The Company has narrowed its expectations for
2008 production available for sale to be between 380,000 and 400,000 boepd, excluding the effects of any
dispositions.

United States upstream income was $359 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $173 million in
the second quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas realizations,
partially offset by lower sales volumes.

International upstream income was $469 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $227 million in
the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas
realizations, and higher natural gas sales that included a full quarter of operations at the EG LNG plant, which
commenced production in May 2007.

                                                                                              nd

The Alvheim/Vilje development offshore Norway commenced production on June 8, 2008 and to date has
achieved an uptime of approximately 80 percent. Currently, there are five wells producing from the Alvheim
portion of the development and the Vilje field is expected to come onstream in early August. Based on the
results thus far, Alvheim/Vilje is expected to reach a combined production rate of 75,000 net (120,000 gross)
boepd before the end of this year. Marathon has a 65 percent operated interest in the Alvheim fields and a 47
percent outside-operated working interest in the Vilje field.

In the Gulf of Mexico, the Neptune development began production on July 6, 2008, and reached full facility oil
capacity after only 15 days of operations. While the production did not have an impact on the second quarter
results, the field is currently producing from five wells and the sixth well is expected online in early August.
Marathon holds a 30 percent outside-operated working interest in Neptune. The facility's design capacity is
50,000 bpd of oil and 50 mmcfd of natural gas.

Marathon continues to ramp up production in the Bakken Shale resource play in North Dakota. The Company
currently has seven rigs drilling which are achieving best-in-class drilling performance and continue to improve
drilling time and well costs. Marathon expects to drill approximately 65 company-operated Bakken wells in
2008, and will have approximately 100 wells in the play by the end of the year. The Company’s net production
from the Bakken Shale increased 130 percent from the fourth quarter 2007 rate of 2,170 boepd to the second
quarter of 2008 rate of 5,070 boepd, and is currently producing 6,200 boepd.

Offshore Angola, Marathon and its co-venturers received approval to proceed with the first deepwater oil
development project on Block 31, comprised of the Plutão, Saturno, Vênus and Marte (PSVM) fields. Key
contracts are ready to be awarded and construction work is expected to begin later this year. Gross production
at a rate of about 150,000 bpd is targeted in 2012. A total of 48 production, gas and water injection plus infill
wells are planned for PSVM.

Marathon has participated in three deepwater Angola exploration/appraisal wells that have reached total depth
during the year, but for which disclosure of the results is pending receipt of government and partner


                                           Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results page 3
approvals. The Company is also currently participating in an appraisal well on Block 32. Marathon holds a 10
percent outside-operated interest in Block 31 and a 30 percent outside-operated interest in Block 32.

In early July, Marathon entered into a definitive agreement with Centrica plc, the parent company of British
Gas, under which Centrica will purchase Marathon's non-operated interests in the Heimdal infrastructure,
related producing fields and associated undeveloped acreage offshore Norway. Total proceeds before closing
adjustments are expected to be $416 million. The companies anticipate closing the transaction during the late
third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2008.




Oil Sands Mining

The Oil Sands Mining segment reported a loss of $157 million for the second quarter of 2008. This includes a
$250 million after-tax loss on derivative instruments, of which $220 million was unrealized. These derivative
instruments were put in place by Western Oil Sands Inc. prior to its acquisition by Marathon in October 2007
to mitigate price risk related to future sales of synthetic crude oil. The last of these derivative instruments is
set to expire in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Marathon’s second quarter 2008 net bitumen production before royalties from the Athabasca Oil Sands Project
(AOSP) mining operation was 24,000 bpd. Production was lower than expected due to a revised plan to
manage the disposal of tailings that resulted in mining a lower grade ore, as well as planned and unplanned
maintenance at the mine. (Tailings consist primarily of water and sediment that remain after the bitumen is
extracted from the ore.)

Due in large part to the temporary decrease in ore grade, Marathon has reduced its 2008 Oil Sands Mining
production expectations to between 25,000 and 28,000 boepd.

                                                                                                       nd

Refining, Marketing and Transportation
The Refining, Marketing and Transportation (RM&T) segment income was $158 million in the second quarter of
2008 compared to $1.246 billion in the second quarter of 2007, with the decrease primarily a result of the
lower refining and wholesale marketing gross margin.

The refining and wholesale marketing gross margin per gallon was 8.35 cents in the second quarter of 2008,
compared to 39.25 cents in the second quarter of 2007. The primary factor contributing to this decrease was
the decline in the relevant market indicators [Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) 6-3-2-1 crack spreads] in the
Midwest (Chicago) and Gulf Coast markets. For example, the Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) 6-3-2-1 crack
spread on a two-thirds Chicago, one-third Gulf Coast basis decreased to $2.47 per barrel in second quarter
2008 from $15.47 per barrel in second quarter 2007. In addition, the Company was not able to fully pass
along to its wholesale customers the substantial increase in refined product spot market prices experienced in
the second quarter of 2008. Consequently, the Company’s wholesale price realizations in the second quarter

                                                    Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results page 4
did not increase over the comparable prior year period as much as the spot market prices used in the market
indicators increased quarter over quarter.

Crude oil refined during the second quarter of 2008 averaged 1,023,000 bpd, a 49,000 bpd decrease from the
second quarter of 2007, and total refinery throughputs were 1,203,000 bpd, 6 percent lower than the
1,280,000 bpd in the second quarter of 2007.

Marathon’s refining and wholesale marketing gross margin included pre-tax derivatives losses of $187 million
for the second quarter of 2008 compared to losses of $139 million for the second quarter of 2007. In the
second quarter of 2008, Marathon decreased its use of derivatives to mitigate crude oil price risk between the
time that domestic crude oil purchases are priced and when they are actually refined into salable petroleum
products. Approximately half of the losses recognized in the second quarter of 2008 were incurred in April
before these steps to decrease the use of derivatives were fully in place. Marathon will selectively continue its
practice of using derivatives to protect the carrying value of seasonal RM&T inventories and long-haul foreign
crude oil spot purchases.

Speedway SuperAmerica (SSA) gasoline and distillates gross margin per gallon averaged 8.62 cents in the
second quarter of 2008, compared to 10.29 cents in the second quarter of 2007. SSA same store gasoline
sales volume declined by 4.8 percent during the second quarter of 2008 while same store merchandise sales
increased by 1 percent during the same period. Starting in June 2007, SSA ran a special sales promotion that
was estimated to increase SSA’s 2007 second quarter same store gasoline sales volume by almost 3 percent.
Excluding this special sales promotion, the Company estimates that SSA’s 2008 second quarter same store
gasoline sales volume decline would have been about 2.1 percent compared to the actual 4.8 percent decline.

                                                                                        2nd Quarter Ended June 30

In June 2008, Marathon began construction on the projected $1.9 billion Detroit heavy oil upgrading project.
With expected completion in late 2010, the project will increase the refinery’s ability to process heavy crude
oil by 80,000 bpd.

The projected $3.2 billion Garyville refinery expansion project in Louisiana continues to progress on time and
on budget toward a 2009 start-up.




Integrated Gas

Integrated Gas segment income was $102 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $12 million in
the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily related to income from the Equatorial Guinea LNG
production facility which commenced operations in May 2007. The production facility, in which Marathon holds
a 60 percent interest, delivered 14 cargoes during the second quarter of 2008. Expenses for Gas-to-FuelsTM

and other natural gas commercialization technologies in the second quarter of 2008 were $22 million
compared to $10 million in the second quarter of 2007.

                                                                                         2nd Quarter Ended June 30

Net LNG sales for the second quarter of 2008 exceeded original estimates because the planned maintenance
at the Equatorial Guinea LNG production facility originally scheduled for the second quarter was deferred to
the third quarter. The operational availability of the facility has been superior, operating at 93 percent year-
to-date.



Corporate

Marathon continued its share repurchase program during the second quarter, repurchasing approximately 3
million shares at a cost of approximately $152 million. Since January 2006, Marathon’s Board of Directors has
authorized the repurchase of up to $5 billion of Marathon’s common stock. As of the end of the second
quarter, approximately $2.8 billion in Marathon shares had been repurchased, bringing total shares
repurchased so far to 63.6 million.



Special Items
Marathon has two natural gas sales contracts in the United Kingdom that are accounted for as derivative
instruments. Mark-to-market changes in the valuation of these contracts must be recognized in current period
income. In the second quarter of 2008, the non-cash after-tax mark-to-market loss on these contracts related
to sales of natural gas from the Brae field complex totaled $84 million. Due to the volatility in the fair value of
these contracts, Marathon consistently excludes these non-cash gains and losses from net income adjusted for
special items.

The Company will conduct a conference call and webcast today, July 31, at 2:00 p.m. EDT during which it will
discuss second quarter results. The webcast will include synchronized slides. To listen to the webcast of the
conference call and view the slides, visit the Marathon website at www.Marathon.com. Replays of the webcast
will be available through Aug. 14, 2008. Quarterly financial and operational information is also provided on
Marathon’s Web site at http://ir.marathon.com in the Quarterly Investor Packet.

                                                      ###

In addition to net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Marathon
has provided supplementally “net income adjusted for special items,” a non-GAAP financial measure which
facilitates comparisons to earnings forecasts prepared by stock analysts and other third parties. Such
forecasts generally exclude the effects of items that are considered non-recurring, are difficult to predict or to
measure in advance or that are not directly related to Marathon's ongoing operations. A reconciliation
between GAAP net income and “net income adjusted for special items” is provided in a table on page 1 of this
release. “Net income adjusted for special items” should not be considered a substitute for net income as
reported in accordance with GAAP. Management, as well as certain investors, uses “net income adjusted for
special items” to evaluate Marathon's financial performance between periods. Management also uses “net
income adjusted for special items” to compare Marathon's performance to certain competitors.

Unlike capital expenditures reported under generally accepted accounting principles, the projected costs for
the Garyville refinery expansion project and the Detroit refinery heavy oil upgrading and expansion project
discussed in this release do not include capitalized interest. Capitalized interest is budgeted at the corporate
level.

This release contains forward-looking statements with respect to 2008 worldwide net liquid hydrocarbon and
natural gas production available for sale, bitumen production, timing and levels of production from the
Alvheim/Vilje development and Neptune development, Blocks 31 and 32 offshore Angola, the anticipated
disposition of interests in the Heimdal area and related assets, anticipated future exploratory and development
drilling activity, the Garyville refinery expansion project, the Detroit refinery heavy oil upgrading and
expansion project, and the common stock repurchase program. Some factors that could potentially affect
2008 worldwide net liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production available for sale, bitumen production, the
timing and levels of production from the Alvheim/Vilje development and Neptune development, Blocks 31 and
32 offshore Angola, and anticipated future exploratory and development drilling activity include pricing, supply
and demand for petroleum products, the amount of capital available for exploration and development,
regulatory constraints, timing of commencing production from new wells, drilling rig availability, unforeseen
hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response
thereto, and other geological, operating and economic considerations. Worldwide net liquid hydrocarbon and
natural gas production available for sale could also be affected by the occurrence of acquisitions or
dispositions of oil and gas properties. Development of Block 32 may be further affected by the inability or
delay in obtaining government and third-party approvals and permits. The disposition of interests in the
Heimdal area could be adversely affected by the inability or delay in obtaining necessary government and
third party approvals and other customary closing conditions. Factors that could affect the Garyville refinery
expansion and the Detroit refinery heavy oil upgrading and expansion projects include transportation logistics,
availability of materials and labor, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, delays in obtaining or
conditions imposed by necessary government and third-party approvals, and other risks customarily
associated with construction projects. The common stock repurchase program could be affected by changes
in prices of and demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined products, actions of competitors, disruptions or
interruptions of the Company’s production or refining operations due to unforeseen hazards such as weather
conditions or acts of war or terrorist acts, and other operating and economic considerations. The foregoing
factors (among others) could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-
looking statements. In accordance with the quot;safe harborquot; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, Marathon Oil Corporation has included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007, and subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K, cautionary language identifying other important
factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

       capital expenditures subsequent to April 2007 are not included in Marathon’s capital expenditures.
(b)
       Amounts are net after royalties, except for Ireland where amounts are before royalties.

marathon oil 2nd Quarter 2008

  • 1. MARATHON OIL CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2008 RESULTS HOUSTON, July 31, 2008 – Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) today reported second quarter 2008 net income of $774 million, or $1.08 per diluted share. Net income in the second quarter 2007 was $1.550 billion, or $2.25 per diluted share. For the second quarter 2008, net income adjusted for special items was $858 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to net income adjusted for special items of $1.548 billion, or $2.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2007. nd 2 Quarter Ended June 30 (In millions, except per diluted share data) 2008 2007 Net income adjusted for special items(a) $ 858 $ 1,548 Adjustments for special items (net of income taxes): Loss on U.K. natural gas contracts (84) (5) Gain on sale of discontinued operations - 8 Loss on early extinguishment of debt - (1) Net income $ 774 $ 1,550 $ 1.20 $ 2.25 Net income adjusted for special items(a) - per diluted share $ 1.08 $ 2.25 Net income - per diluted share $ 22,225 $ 16,887 Revenues and other income 714 689 Weighted average shares - diluted (a) Net income adjusted for special items is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for net income as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See page 6 for further discussion of net income adjusted for special items. Marathon's second quarter 2008 results include a non-cash, after-tax mark-to-market loss of $220 million on derivatives intended to mitigate price risk related to future sales of Canadian synthetic crude. The last of these derivatives is set to expire in the fourth quarter of 2009. “The second quarter 2008, compared to the second quarter 2007, was a challenging quarter financially, particularly as a result of the significantly lower refining and wholesale marketing realized margins in a very difficult downstream environment and the derivatives loss incurred in the Oil Sands Mining segment. However, our Upstream business had a record quarter in profitability and our Integrated Gas segment continues to perform well,” said Clarence P. Cazalot, Jr., Marathon president and CEO. “Operationally, the quarter saw Marathon delivering on our defined profitable growth in the Upstream segment, with production available for sale increasing more than 8 percent over the same period in 2007 and we have had two high-margin major development projects brought online within the last two months. “The Alvheim/Vilje development offshore Norway achieved first oil in early June and is currently producing from five wells in the Alvheim portion of the development, and the non-operated Neptune development in the Gulf of Mexico began operations just after the quarter ended. Strong production from Alvheim and Neptune, Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results
  • 2. and solid operations across our entire Upstream business will help drive Marathon’s production performance for the year and will contribute significantly to Marathon’s production growth through 2012. “While the downstream environment remains challenged with tight margins, Marathon is focused on lowering feedstock costs and increasing efficiency and flexibility by expanding our coking capacity. The 180,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery expansion at our facility in Garyville, La., is almost 60 percent complete, on budget and scheduled for late 2009 startup. Construction recently started on the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrading Project, and upon completion in late 2010, it will allow us to refine an additional 80,000 bpd of heavy crude oil,” Cazalot said. Segment Results Total segment income was $931 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $1.658 billion in the second quarter of 2007. 2nd Quarter Ended June 30 (In millions) 2008 2007 Segment Income (Loss) Exploration & Production (E&P) United States $ 359 $ 173 International 469 227 Total E&P 828 400 Oil Sands Mining (OSM) (157) - Refining, Marketing & Transportation (RM&T) 158 1,246 Integrated Gas (IG) 102 12 (a) Segment Income $ 931 $ 1,658 a) See Preliminary Supplemental Statistics on page 9 for a reconciliation of segment income to net income as reported under generally accepted accounting principles. Exploration and Production Exploration and Production segment income totaled $828 million in the second quarter of 2008, which was more than double the $400 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily a result of higher liquid hydrocarbon realizations as well as higher natural gas volumes. Sales volumes during the quarter averaged 350,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), compared to 338,000 boepd for the same period last year. Due to timing of a lifting, the sales volumes were lower than the estimate of 356,000 boepd provided in the interim update. Production available for sale in the second quarter 2008 averaged 374,000 boepd, an increase of more than 8 percent from 345,000 boepd in the same period last year. The difference between production volumes available for sale and the recorded sales volumes is due to the timing of international oil liftings and natural gas held in storage. Production available for sale exceeded estimates provided in the first quarter, primarily due to the deferral of planned plant maintenance in Equatorial Guinea and the better-than-forecast reliability of the Alvheim/Vilje facilities during ramp-up of production. The Company has narrowed its expectations for 2008 production available for sale to be between 380,000 and 400,000 boepd, excluding the effects of any dispositions.

  • 3. United States upstream income was $359 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $173 million in the second quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas realizations, partially offset by lower sales volumes. International upstream income was $469 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $227 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas realizations, and higher natural gas sales that included a full quarter of operations at the EG LNG plant, which commenced production in May 2007. nd 2 Quarter Ended June 30 2008 2007 Key Production Statistics Net Sales United States – Liquids (mbpd) 63 65 United States – Natural gas (mmcfpd) 431 460 International – Liquids (mbpd) 119 134 International – Natural gas (mmcfpd) 573 374 Total Net Sales (mboepd) 350 338 The Alvheim/Vilje development offshore Norway commenced production on June 8, 2008 and to date has achieved an uptime of approximately 80 percent. Currently, there are five wells producing from the Alvheim portion of the development and the Vilje field is expected to come onstream in early August. Based on the results thus far, Alvheim/Vilje is expected to reach a combined production rate of 75,000 net (120,000 gross) boepd before the end of this year. Marathon has a 65 percent operated interest in the Alvheim fields and a 47 percent outside-operated working interest in the Vilje field. In the Gulf of Mexico, the Neptune development began production on July 6, 2008, and reached full facility oil capacity after only 15 days of operations. While the production did not have an impact on the second quarter results, the field is currently producing from five wells and the sixth well is expected online in early August. Marathon holds a 30 percent outside-operated working interest in Neptune. The facility's design capacity is 50,000 bpd of oil and 50 mmcfd of natural gas. Marathon continues to ramp up production in the Bakken Shale resource play in North Dakota. The Company currently has seven rigs drilling which are achieving best-in-class drilling performance and continue to improve drilling time and well costs. Marathon expects to drill approximately 65 company-operated Bakken wells in 2008, and will have approximately 100 wells in the play by the end of the year. The Company’s net production from the Bakken Shale increased 130 percent from the fourth quarter 2007 rate of 2,170 boepd to the second quarter of 2008 rate of 5,070 boepd, and is currently producing 6,200 boepd. Offshore Angola, Marathon and its co-venturers received approval to proceed with the first deepwater oil development project on Block 31, comprised of the Plutão, Saturno, Vênus and Marte (PSVM) fields. Key contracts are ready to be awarded and construction work is expected to begin later this year. Gross production at a rate of about 150,000 bpd is targeted in 2012. A total of 48 production, gas and water injection plus infill wells are planned for PSVM. Marathon has participated in three deepwater Angola exploration/appraisal wells that have reached total depth during the year, but for which disclosure of the results is pending receipt of government and partner Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results page 3
  • 4. approvals. The Company is also currently participating in an appraisal well on Block 32. Marathon holds a 10 percent outside-operated interest in Block 31 and a 30 percent outside-operated interest in Block 32. In early July, Marathon entered into a definitive agreement with Centrica plc, the parent company of British Gas, under which Centrica will purchase Marathon's non-operated interests in the Heimdal infrastructure, related producing fields and associated undeveloped acreage offshore Norway. Total proceeds before closing adjustments are expected to be $416 million. The companies anticipate closing the transaction during the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2008. Oil Sands Mining The Oil Sands Mining segment reported a loss of $157 million for the second quarter of 2008. This includes a $250 million after-tax loss on derivative instruments, of which $220 million was unrealized. These derivative instruments were put in place by Western Oil Sands Inc. prior to its acquisition by Marathon in October 2007 to mitigate price risk related to future sales of synthetic crude oil. The last of these derivative instruments is set to expire in the fourth quarter of 2009. Marathon’s second quarter 2008 net bitumen production before royalties from the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) mining operation was 24,000 bpd. Production was lower than expected due to a revised plan to manage the disposal of tailings that resulted in mining a lower grade ore, as well as planned and unplanned maintenance at the mine. (Tailings consist primarily of water and sediment that remain after the bitumen is extracted from the ore.) Due in large part to the temporary decrease in ore grade, Marathon has reduced its 2008 Oil Sands Mining production expectations to between 25,000 and 28,000 boepd. nd 2 Quarter Ended June 30 2008 2007 Key Oil Sands Mining Statistics Net Bitumen Production (mbpd)(a) 24 - Net Synthetic Crude Oil Sales (mbpd) 31 - (b) Synthetic Crude Oil Average Realization (per bbl) $ 116.40 $ -( (a) Before royalties. (b) Excludes losses on derivative instruments. Refining, Marketing and Transportation The Refining, Marketing and Transportation (RM&T) segment income was $158 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1.246 billion in the second quarter of 2007, with the decrease primarily a result of the lower refining and wholesale marketing gross margin. The refining and wholesale marketing gross margin per gallon was 8.35 cents in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 39.25 cents in the second quarter of 2007. The primary factor contributing to this decrease was the decline in the relevant market indicators [Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) 6-3-2-1 crack spreads] in the Midwest (Chicago) and Gulf Coast markets. For example, the Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) 6-3-2-1 crack spread on a two-thirds Chicago, one-third Gulf Coast basis decreased to $2.47 per barrel in second quarter 2008 from $15.47 per barrel in second quarter 2007. In addition, the Company was not able to fully pass along to its wholesale customers the substantial increase in refined product spot market prices experienced in the second quarter of 2008. Consequently, the Company’s wholesale price realizations in the second quarter Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results page 4
  • 5. did not increase over the comparable prior year period as much as the spot market prices used in the market indicators increased quarter over quarter. Crude oil refined during the second quarter of 2008 averaged 1,023,000 bpd, a 49,000 bpd decrease from the second quarter of 2007, and total refinery throughputs were 1,203,000 bpd, 6 percent lower than the 1,280,000 bpd in the second quarter of 2007. Marathon’s refining and wholesale marketing gross margin included pre-tax derivatives losses of $187 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to losses of $139 million for the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2008, Marathon decreased its use of derivatives to mitigate crude oil price risk between the time that domestic crude oil purchases are priced and when they are actually refined into salable petroleum products. Approximately half of the losses recognized in the second quarter of 2008 were incurred in April before these steps to decrease the use of derivatives were fully in place. Marathon will selectively continue its practice of using derivatives to protect the carrying value of seasonal RM&T inventories and long-haul foreign crude oil spot purchases. Speedway SuperAmerica (SSA) gasoline and distillates gross margin per gallon averaged 8.62 cents in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 10.29 cents in the second quarter of 2007. SSA same store gasoline sales volume declined by 4.8 percent during the second quarter of 2008 while same store merchandise sales increased by 1 percent during the same period. Starting in June 2007, SSA ran a special sales promotion that was estimated to increase SSA’s 2007 second quarter same store gasoline sales volume by almost 3 percent. Excluding this special sales promotion, the Company estimates that SSA’s 2008 second quarter same store gasoline sales volume decline would have been about 2.1 percent compared to the actual 4.8 percent decline. 2nd Quarter Ended June 30 2008 2007 Key Refining, Marketing & Transportation Statistics Crude Oil Refined (mbpd) 1,023 1,072 Other Charge and Blend Stocks (mbpd) 180 208 Total Refinery Inputs (mbpd) 1,203 1,280 Refined Product Sales Volumes (mbpd) 1,369 1,426 Refining and Wholesale Marketing Gross Margin ($/gallon) $ 0.0835 $ 0.3925 In June 2008, Marathon began construction on the projected $1.9 billion Detroit heavy oil upgrading project. With expected completion in late 2010, the project will increase the refinery’s ability to process heavy crude oil by 80,000 bpd. The projected $3.2 billion Garyville refinery expansion project in Louisiana continues to progress on time and on budget toward a 2009 start-up. Integrated Gas Integrated Gas segment income was $102 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $12 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily related to income from the Equatorial Guinea LNG production facility which commenced operations in May 2007. The production facility, in which Marathon holds a 60 percent interest, delivered 14 cargoes during the second quarter of 2008. Expenses for Gas-to-FuelsTM Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results page 5

The operational availability of the facility has been superior, operating at 93 percent year- to-date. Corporate Marathon continued its share repurchase program during the second quarter, repurchasing approximately 3 million shares at a cost of approximately $152 million. Since January 2006, Marathon’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $5 billion of Marathon’s common stock. As of the end of the second quarter, approximately $2.8 billion in Marathon shares had been repurchased, bringing total shares repurchased so far to 63.6 million. Special Items Marathon has two natural gas sales contracts in the United Kingdom that are accounted for as derivative instruments. Mark-to-market changes in the valuation of these contracts must be recognized in current period income. In the second quarter of 2008, the non-cash after-tax mark-to-market loss on these contracts related to sales of natural gas from the Brae field complex totaled $84 million. Due to the volatility in the fair value of these contracts, Marathon consistently excludes these non-cash gains and losses from net income adjusted for special items. The Company will conduct a conference call and webcast today, July 31, at 2:00 p.m. EDT during which it will discuss second quarter results. The webcast will include synchronized slides. To listen to the webcast of the conference call and view the slides, visit the Marathon website at www.Marathon.com. Replays of the webcast will be available through Aug. 14, 2008. Quarterly financial and operational information is also provided on Marathon’s Web site at http://ir.marathon.com in the Quarterly Investor Packet. ### In addition to net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Marathon has provided supplementally “net income adjusted for special items,” a non-GAAP financial measure which facilitates comparisons to earnings forecasts prepared by stock analysts and other third parties. Such forecasts generally exclude the effects of items that are considered non-recurring, are difficult to predict or to measure in advance or that are not directly related to Marathon's ongoing operations. A reconciliation between GAAP net income and “net income adjusted for special items” is provided in a table on page 1 of this release. “Net income adjusted for special items” should not be considered a substitute for net income as reported in accordance with GAAP. Management, as well as certain investors, uses “net income adjusted for special items” to evaluate Marathon's financial performance between periods. Management also uses “net income adjusted for special items” to compare Marathon's performance to certain competitors. Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results page 6
  • 7. Unlike capital expenditures reported under generally accepted accounting principles, the projected costs for the Garyville refinery expansion project and the Detroit refinery heavy oil upgrading and expansion project discussed in this release do not include capitalized interest. Capitalized interest is budgeted at the corporate level. This release contains forward-looking statements with respect to 2008 worldwide net liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production available for sale, bitumen production, timing and levels of production from the Alvheim/Vilje development and Neptune development, Blocks 31 and 32 offshore Angola, the anticipated disposition of interests in the Heimdal area and related assets, anticipated future exploratory and development drilling activity, the Garyville refinery expansion project, the Detroit refinery heavy oil upgrading and expansion project, and the common stock repurchase program. Some factors that could potentially affect 2008 worldwide net liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production available for sale, bitumen production, the timing and levels of production from the Alvheim/Vilje development and Neptune development, Blocks 31 and 32 offshore Angola, and anticipated future exploratory and development drilling activity include pricing, supply and demand for petroleum products, the amount of capital available for exploration and development, regulatory constraints, timing of commencing production from new wells, drilling rig availability, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto, and other geological, operating and economic considerations. Worldwide net liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas production available for sale could also be affected by the occurrence of acquisitions or dispositions of oil and gas properties. Development of Block 32 may be further affected by the inability or delay in obtaining government and third-party approvals and permits. The disposition of interests in the Heimdal area could be adversely affected by the inability or delay in obtaining necessary government and third party approvals and other customary closing conditions. Factors that could affect the Garyville refinery expansion and the Detroit refinery heavy oil upgrading and expansion projects include transportation logistics, availability of materials and labor, unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, delays in obtaining or conditions imposed by necessary government and third-party approvals, and other risks customarily associated with construction projects. The common stock repurchase program could be affected by changes in prices of and demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined products, actions of competitors, disruptions or interruptions of the Company’s production or refining operations due to unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions or acts of war or terrorist acts, and other operating and economic considerations. The foregoing factors (among others) could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward- looking statements. In accordance with the quot;safe harborquot; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Marathon Oil Corporation has included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K, cautionary language identifying other important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
