 << Previous Risks in Acquisitions
	
		| 
Statoil pursued attractive growth opportunities, sometimes by acquiring 
businesses or properties that complemented or expanded its existing portfolio. 
Statoil's ability to implement this strategy successfully depended upon a 
variety of factors, including its ability to:
 • Identify acceptable opportunities;
 • Negotiate favorable terms;
 • Develop the performance of new market opportunities or acquired properties or 
businesses promptly and profitably;
 • Integrate acquired properties or businesses into its operations;
 • Arrange financing, if necessary...

 |  Risks in Operations
Statoil was exposed to various operations risks, including reservoir risk, risk 
of loss of oil and gas production and offshore catastrophe risk. All 
installations were insured, So the replacement cost would be covered by the 
captive insurance company, which also had a reinsurance program. Under this 
reinsurance program, as of December 31, 2002, approximately 70% of the 
approximately NOK 110 billion total insured amount was reinsured in the 
international reinsurance markets... 
	
		|  | Political Risks
Statoil had assets located in unstable regions around the world. There had been 
war and civil strife in the Caspian region through much of the 1990s. 
 In addition, the states bordering the Caspian Sea disputed ownership and 
distribution of proceeds from the Caspian's seabed and subsoil resources. 
Statoil's activities in the Persian Gulf were vulnerable to disruption due to 
war and terrorism...
 |  Health, Safety, Environmental & Catastrophe Risks
Statoil incurred substantial capital and operating costs to comply with 
increasingly complex laws and regulations covering the protection of the 
environment and human health and safety. These included costs to reduce air 
emissions and discharges to the sea and to remediate contamination at various 
owned and previously owned facilities and at third-party sites where products or 
wastes were handled or disposed. Statoil was subject to statutory liability in 
respect of losses or damages suffered as a result of spills or discharges of 
petroleum from manufacturing facilities... Financial Risks
Market Risks Statoil had established an Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (ERM) Program for 
managing market risks. The Corporate Risk Committee (CRC) met on a regular basis 
to review the existing policies and implementation of the guidelines.
Statoil used a "top-down" approach to risk management, which highlighted the 
most important risks and then used a sophisticated risk optimization model to 
manage these risks...
