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.

affiliated companies that recognized the need for consensus within the industry and the need for a united front in pursuing matters of mutual interest. In 1973, the Association was formally incorporated as a non-profit corporation. Today, OMSA directly represents the large majority of U.S. offshore marine transportation companies, as their principal spokesman delegated to pro-actively develop and/or to promote positions favorable to the industry in response to proposed legislation or other governmental actions, worldwide, which potentially could impact offshore operators and service companies. The Regular Member companies served by OMSA are engaged in various offshore marine activities including offshore towing and anchor handling, and the operation of offshore supply and utility service vessels, crewboats, offshore construction, diving support, pipelay, cargo and derrick barges, geophysical vessels, liftboats and other specialized offshore support vessels. Associate membership is open to companies which, while they do not own or operate marine equipment, do share common economic interests and provide professional services or sell equipment or supplies to OMSA's marine operators. This group includes shipyards, naval architects, surveyors, underwriters, vessel equipment manufacturers and distributors, suppliers of vessel components, supplies and services, financial institutions and CPA firms, among others. These companies play an extremely important and active role in support of the Association. Both classes of membership possess equal rights under the By-laws. While it is OMSA's intent to represent the common views of all members, and our Regular and Associate members generally work together closely toward goals rooted in common interest, each individual member, upon joining, reserves the right to express any view or policy that they may have contrary to those of the Association or a majority of its members.
