Paris, November 4, 2005 - The Board of Directors of Total, chaired by CEO
Thierry Desmarest, met on November 3, 2005 to review the consolidated accounts
for the third quarter 2005.
Adjusted net income increased to 3,126 million euros (M€) in the third quarter
2005, an increase of 32% compared to the third quarter 2004. Commenting on the
results, CEO Thierry Desmarest said :
At a time when global demand for petroleum products was already strong, major
disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico drove oil prices and refining margins to very
high levels in the third quarter 2005. Further downstream in the oil chain,
retail marketing and petrochemicals suffered as a result of rapidly rising raw
material costs.
The 36% increase in adjusted earnings per share for Total reflects essentially
the stronger oil market environment and illustrates the sensitivity of the Group
to this environment.
Over the first nine months of 2005, Total reported the best performance among
the majors by achieving a 46% increase in earnings per share expressed in
dollars.
The Group invested 9.3 billion dollars over the first nine months of 2005, which
includes 1.1 B$ (US) for the acquisition of 82% of Deer Creek and represents a
37% increase in investments over the same period last year.
In the Upstream, continued exploration success and the launching of several
large, long-term projects allow Total to be confident of its ability to sustain
ongoing production growth beyond 2010. In the Downstream, a program to increase
investments to upgrade and adapt the refining system to changing product demand
is being actively implemented.

l Third quarter 2005 results
> Operating income
Compared to the third quarter 2004, the oil market environment in the third
quarter 2005 was marked by a strong increase in oil prices (+48% for Brent) and
European refining margins (+35% for the TRCV indicator).
Petrochemical margins decreased relative to the third quarter 2004.
In this context, adjusted operating income from the business segments increased
by 41% to 6,346 M€ from 4,498 M€ in the third quarter 2004.
Special items affecting operating income, which were related to exceptional
charges in the Chemicals segment, had a negative impact of 9 M€ in the third
quarter 2005. There were no special items affecting operating income in the
third quarter 2004.
Adjusted net operating income from the business segments increased by 34% to
3,044 M€ from 2,279 M€ in the third quarter 2004. The smaller percentage
increase relative to the increase in operating income is due notably to the
higher effective tax rate in the third quarter 2005 compared to the third
quarter 2004.
> Net income
Adjusted net income, which excludes notably after-tax inventory effects of 729
M€ in the third quarter 2005 and 410 M€ in the third quarter 2004, increased by
32% to 3,126 M€ from 2,365 M€ in the third quarter 2004.
Special items affecting net income had a negative impact of 98 M€ on the third
quarter 2005 and 12 M€ on the third quarter 2004. They include special charges
and provisions in the Chemicals segment and, in the third quarter 2005, -87 M€
for Total's equity share of special items taken by Sanofi-Aventis.
Net income(5) increased to 3,645 M€ from 2,763 M€ in the third quarter 2004.
During the third quarter 2005, the Group bought back 3.97 million of its shares
(6), or 0.6% of its capital, for 826 M€.
Adjusted earnings per share, based on 588.0 million fully-diluted
weighted-average shares, rose to 5.32 euros in the third quarter 2005 from 3.91
euros in the third quarter 2004, an increase of 36%, which is higher than the
increase in adjusted net income due to the accretive effect of the share
buybacks.
> Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities increased to 4,764 M€ from 4,075 M€ in the
third quarter 2004.
Investments rose to 3,357 M€ from 1,967 M€ in the third quarter 2004. They
include 890 M€ paid out for the acquisition of 82% of Deer Creek.
Divestments in the third quarter 2005 were 248 M€, including notably the sale of
Total's interest in the power company South Humber Bank.
Net cash flow(7) was 1,655 M€ compared to 2,293 M€ in the same period 2004.

* adjustment detail included in the business segment information
Adjusted operating income for the Upstream segment increased by 52% to 5,199 M€
in the third quarter 2005 from 3,429 M€ in the third quarter 2004.
The increase reflects essentially the benefit of higher hydrocarbon prices, more
so for liquids than for gas.
Adjusted net operating income for Upstream increased by 43% to 2,202 M€.
The more moderate increase relative to the increase in operating income
reflects, among other elements, the higher effective tax rate in the third
quarter 2005 compared to the third quarter 2004, which was due notably to less
production in areas with lower effective tax rates.
> Production
3Q05 3Q04 % Hydrocarbon production 9M05 9M04 %

Hydrocarbon production declined by 2% to 2,428 thousand barrels of oil
equivalent per day (kboe/d) in the third quarter 2005 from 2,479 kboe/d in the
third quarter 2004.
This decrease in production was due primarily to the negative impact on
entitlement volumes linked to higher prices in the third quarter 2005 versus the
third quarter 2004 ('price effect').
Excluding the price effect impact, hydrocarbon production increased. Production
growth from Trinidad, Congo, Indonesia, and Venezuela combined with lower
maintenance in the North Sea relative to the third quarter of last year more
than offset lower production from the Gulf of Mexico due to the hurricanes and
from shutdowns in Nigeria affecting onshore areas.
> Liquids and gas price realizations

4.65 3.54 +31% Average gas price ($/Mbtu) 4.47 3.56 +26%
* consolidated subsidiaries, excluding fixed margin and buy-back contracts
The smaller increase in the average realized liquids price compared to the
increase in the Brent price in particular reflects the larger spread in the
light-heavy price differential for crude oil. Gas prices increased in every
producing region.
> Recent highlights
Total continued to expand its exploration acreage by signing a production
sharing contract on OPL 223 in Nigeria, being awarded a block in Libya and
bidding successfully for three production licenses in the UK North Sea.
Successful exploration activity included new discoveries in ultra-deep offshore
Angola, a discovery on Block NC 186 in Libya and two new positive wells on OPL
222 (Total operated, 20%) in Nigeria that further confirm the potential of the
Usan discovery.
An initial development plan for Usan projecting a start-up by 2010 and a plateau
rate of 150 kb/d was approved by NNPC, the concession holder of the block.
The third quarter 2005 also marked the launch of the development of Yemen LNG
(Total 42.9%(8)) projecting the construction of a liquefaction plant with a
capacity of 6.7 Mt/y by 2008. Plans call for gas sales over a 20-year period of
4.5 Mt/y to the Atlantic basin market and 2 Mt/y to the Asian market.
Phase 1 of the development of the Moho-Bilondo field has been launched (Total
operated, 53.5%). Production is projected to start in 2008 with a plateau rate
of approx. 90 kb/d.
Total took a major step forward in developing its Canadian oil sands strategy
through the successful takeover of Deer Creek Energy Limited which holds 84% of
the Joslyn lease in Athabasca, Canada. As of October 31, 2005, Total held 82.4%
of Deer Creek.
Total sold its 40% stake in the South Humber Bank power plant in the UK to
Centrica.

* adjustment detail included in the business segment information
Adjusted operating income for the Downstream segment in the third quarter 2005
was 981 M€, a 31% increase compared to the third quarter 2004.
The increase was due mainly to the stronger refining margins that reflected the
tight supply-demand balance in the Atlantic basin, particularly in the wake of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Downstream results benefited as well from the effects of self-help programs and,
in refining, positive market effects that were not reflected in the TRCV
increase.
Partially offsetting those positive effects were the prolonged shutdown of the
Antwerp cracker, the shutdown of the Port Arthur refinery due to Hurricane Rita,
the strike at the Normandy refinery, and the negative impact of rapidly rising
refined product prices on marketing margins, which all had a negative impact on
the performance of the segment.
Adjusted net operating income for the Downstream segment increased by 35% to 706
M€ in the third quarter 2005 from 524 M€ for the third quarter 2004.

* includes share of Cepsa
Refinery throughput was 2,379 kb/d in the third quarter 2005, a decrease of 5%
compared to the same quarter last year. The refining utilization rate was 88%.
This decrease was due essentially to the longer-than-expected maintenance
shutdown at Antwerp at the beginning of the third quarter 2005 and to the impact
of the strike at Normandy at the end of the quarter.
> Recent highlights
Within the framework of the announcement made in September to accelerate its
investment program in refining with the goal of increasing the capacity of
diesel production and desulphurization as well as improving energy efficiency at
its refineries, Total has launched studies on a deep-conversion project at its
Port Arthur refinery in the US. Other studies have been launched regarding the
construction of a deep-conversion unit at one of the Group's European
refineries.
Total signed an agreement with ExxonMobil to acquire its marketing and refined
products distribution affiliates in 14 African countries. This transaction,
which remains subject to the necessary regulatory approvals in each country,
would make Total the largest marketer in Africa with an overall market share of
11%.
Total signed a preliminary agreement to increase its share in its Rome refinery
from 57.5% to 77.5% and, as part of the deal, to sell its 18% interest in the
Reichstett in France(9).
Total and Sinochem signed a new joint venture agreement to build a network of
300 service stations in the region around Shanghai, China. The two companies are
already partners in a similar venture in northern China and in the Dalian
refinery.
Total signed an agreement with Neste Oil to build a second-generation bio-diesel
production unit at one of the Group's refineries that is expected to start up by
2008.

Adjusted operating income fell by 48% to 166 M€ in the third quarter 2005 from
321 M€ in the third quarter 2004.
Base chemical margins fell sharply as a result of rapidly increasing raw
material costs in the third quarter 2005. Shutdowns of steamcrackers in
September at Port Arthur (related to the hurricanes) and at Normandy (related to
the beginning of the 5-year scheduled turnaround) also had a negative impact on
results.
Specialties continued to perform well.
Arkema reported a strong increase relative to the third quarter 2004, mainly due
to better results in industrial chemicals.
Adjusted net operating income for the Chemicals segment were 136 M€ in the third
quarter 2005 compared to 216 M€ for the third quarter 2004.

The September 30, 2005 notes to the consolidated accounts are available on the
Total web site (www.total.com). The interim accounts have been the subject of a
limited review by the company's auditors. This document may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results
of operations, business, strategy and plans of Total. Such statements are based
on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and are
subject to a number of risk factors, including currency fluctuations, the price
of petroleum products, the ability to realize cost reductions and operating
efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, environmental
regulatory considerations and general economic and business conditions. Total
does not assume any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further
information on factors which could affect the company's financial results is
provided in documents filed by the Group and its affiliates with the French
Autorite des Marches Financiers and the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The business segment information is presented in accordance with the Group
internal reporting system used by the Chief operating decision maker to measure
performance and allocate resources internally. Due to their particular nature or
significance, certain transactions qualified as 'special items' are monitored at
the Group level and excluded from the business segment figures. In general,
special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or
unusual. However, in certain instances, certain transactions such as
restructuring costs or assets disposals, which are not considered to be
representative of normal course of business, may be qualified as special items
although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to recur within
following years.
In accordance with IAS 2, the Group values inventories of crude oil and
petroleum products in the financial statements in accordance with the FIFO
(First in, First out) method and other inventories using the weighted-average
cost method. However, in the note setting forth information by business segment,
the Group continues to present the results for the Downstream segment according
to the replacement cost method and those of the Chemicals segment according to
the LIFO (Last in, First out) method in order to ensure the comparability of the
Group's results with those of its main competitors, notably from North America.
The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according
to the FIFO method and the results according to the replacement cost or LIFO
method.
In this framework, performance measures such as adjusted operating income,
adjusted net operating income and adjusted net income are defined as incomes
