Port Sulphur, LA, United States

Our immediate predecessor, McMoRan Oil & Gas Co., commenced operations in May 1994 following the distribution of all of its common stock to the stockholders of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., its former parent company. The purpose of that transaction was to allow McMoRan Oil & Gas to rebuild, with essentially the same management and exploration team, the oil and gas exploration business previously conducted by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and its predecessors had engaged in oil and gas exploration, development and production activities since the early 1970s, and during the 1980s it was among the most active drillers in the Gulf of Mexico . As part of an asset restructuring program to raise new capital to exploit other significant business opportunities (including the development of a world class copper and gold deposit in Indonesia discovered in 1988), Freeport-McMoRan Inc. sold numerous assets in various transactions during the late 1980s and early 1990s. These asset sales included the vast majority of its producing oil and gas properties. Sales proceeds from these properties totaled approximately $1.3 billion. As a result, McMoRan Oil & Gas commenced operations in 1994 with an extensive geological and geophysical data base, as well as extensive technical and operational expertise, but with only a small group of exploration prospects and limited financial resources. Following its separation from Freeport-McMoRan Inc., McMoRan Oil & Gas pursued a business plan of exploring for and producing oil and gas, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the Gulf Coast area. We were created on November 17, 1998 when McMoRan Oil & Gas and Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur Inc. combined their operations. As a result, McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC and Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur LLC (Freeport Sulphur), the successors to those companies, became our wholly owned subsidiaries. A principal purpose of the combination was to use cash flow from Freeport Sulphur as a source of funding for the expansion of our oil and gas exploration and development program. The combination of McMoRan Oil & Gas and Freeport Sulphur was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase, with McMoRan Oil & Gas as the acquiring entity. As a result, our financial information for periods prior to the combination reflect only the historical operations of McMoRan Oil & Gas. The operations of Freeport Sulphur are included on and after November 17, 1998 . In August 2000, we announced the closure of our sulphur mining operations at Main Pass and our plans to sell our sulphur transportation and terminaling assets. In March 2002, we entered into agreements from the dismantlement and removal of our sulphur platforms at Main Pass and Caminada. In June 2002, we sold substantially all of our sulphur transportation and terminaling assets.

Onne, Nigeria

The establishment of Onne as a Free Port Zone provides Nigeria with an unrivalled position as the focal point for the oil and gas industry in West Africa. The Free Port Zone was conceived in the knowledge that major oil and gas production companies were interested in making Nigeria a regional centre for their operations in the West and Central Africa Sub-region. Accordingly, the Zone provides valuable incentives to investors, including easy registration to enter the Nigerian Oil and Gas market, minimum bureaucracy, and the possibility to sell products and services throughout the West African region. The Zone, which is positioned at the centre of Nigeria’s oil activities, offers excellent business opportunities to investors wishing to participate in both planned and existing projects.

London, United Kingdom

Reed began on the 7th May 1960 when Alec Reed, then aged 26, opened the first Reed branch in Hounslow, West London. He started with just £75 and worked alone for a year. Perhaps Reed's greatest achievement is that from these modest beginnings the company has grown organically, and not by acquisition, into a business with over 2000 Co-Members (staff) and 280 branches that generated sales of £373 million last year. Reed has grown by giving clients what they want - the right people - and has won a growing number of clients by continually innovating and improving the service it has to offer. Reed is committed to delivering The Intelligent Response, and this has been a consistent theme since the company began. Thanks to Alec Reed's entrepreneurial flair the company quickly emerged from the pack, not least because it approached the market in new and original ways. Reed was the first recruitment company to offer specialist recruitment services. This began with the creation of Reed Executive, Reed Accountancy and Reed Nursing Personnel in the early 1960s. At least another dozen specialist niches have been developed since. Reed's move into specialisation fundamentally changed the UK recruitment market. In the 1960s Reed expanded rapidly and with its strategy to secure prominent, prime site locations to attract the best candidates for its clients, it developed a distinctive brand on the High Street. This early combination of presence, innovation and specialisation made the brand instantly recognisable to a wide public. Following its first decade of success, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1971. The Company was once again taken private and delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2003. To this day the founder's entrepreneurial spirit is fundamental to the company's culture and to its approach to the market. James Reed, Chief Executive and son of Alec, has announced Reed is pursuing a Venture Peoplist business model, which means that it will be investing in, and pursuing new business opportunities that centre on people and people resourcing. Reed prides itself on being an organisation that continues to innovate and specialise and that will rise to meet any challenge, however great.
