Natural gas liquids revenues for the third quarter of 2009 decreased $22 million, or 24%, to $69 million from $91 million for the same period of 2008, due to a lower composite average price ($84 million), partially offset by an increase of 10 MBbld, or 69%, in natural gas liquids deliveries ($62 million). The composite average natural gas liquids price for the third quarter of 2009 decreased 55% to $31.14 per barrel compared to $69.33 per barrel for the same period of 2008. The increase in deliveries primarily reflects increased volumes in the Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale area (6 MBbld) and the Mid-Continent area (2 MBbld).

During 2009, increased operating and maintenance expenses in Canada ($5 million) and China ($1 million) and increased lease and well administrative expenses in Canada ($1 million) were offset by decreased lease and well administrative expenses in the United States ($3 million), decreased operating and maintenance expenses in the United States ($2 million) and changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($2 million).

DD&A expenses associated with oil and gas properties for the third quarter of 2009 were $32 million higher than the same prior year period primarily due to higher unit rates in the United States ($18 million), Trinidad ($3 million) and Canada ($3 million) and as a result of increased production in the United States ($9 million), partially offset by changes in the Canadian exchange rate ($3 million).
Impairments of $69 million for the third quarter of 2009 increased $37 million from $32 million for the same prior year period primarily due to increased amortization and impairments of unproved properties in the United States ($28 million) and increased impairments of proved properties in the United States ($8 million).
