                     Sales and Purchase Agreements

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) and Qatar Petroleum (QP)
announced today their acquisition of a 90 percent interest in the
Edison Gas North Adriatic Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal
Project. Also, Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company Limited II
(RasGas II) and Edison Gas S.p.A. of Italy signed amended Sale and
Purchase Agreements to increase LNG supplies from the initially agreed
level of 3.5 million tons annually (MTA) to 4.7 MTA of LNG, commencing
in 2007.
   
The North Adriatic LNG Terminal will be located offshore of the
northern coast of Italy. The Terminal Agreements provide for a 90
percent interest for Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil, while Edison Gas
S.p.A. will maintain a 10 percent share. QP and ExxonMobil's shares
will be equally divided between the two companies, which will each own
a 45 percent share of the terminal equity.
   
The agreements cover the development of an offshore gasification
facility utilizing the most advanced technologies. Startup is
scheduled for 2007 and it is anticipated that the front-end
engineering and design contract (FEED) for the terminal should be
signed within the next few weeks.
   
The North Adriatic LNG Terminal is expected to provide the Italian
energy sector with the most modern state-of-the-art terminal
facilities and to support the Italian government's efforts to secure
the country's increasing energy demands in the long-term.
   
The gas for this project will be sourced from Qatar's giant North
Field, which has recoverable resources of more than 900 trillion cubic
feet of gas.
