ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
PXP and MMR Acquisitions. The second-quarter 2013 acquisitions of PXP and MMR added a portfolio of oil and gas assets to FCX's global mining business, creating a U.S.-based natural resources company. The acquisitions have been accounted for under the acquisition method, with FCX as the acquirer.

During the second quarter of 2014, FCX finalized the purchase price allocations, which resulted in a net increase of $20 million to oil and gas properties, an increase of $22 million to goodwill and a net decrease of $42 million to deferred income tax assets.

For further discussion of the PXP and MMR acquisitions and the related financing, refer to Notes 2 and 8 in FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information. The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared to reflect the acquisitions of PXP and MMR. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the historical statements of income of FCX, PXP and MMR for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, giving effect to the mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the acquisitions.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have occurred, or the results of operations expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the date indicated. The most significant pro forma adjustments to income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, were to exclude $506 million of acquisition-related costs, the net tax benefit of $183 million of acquisition-related adjustments and the $128 million gain on the investment in MMR. Additionally, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the pro forma consolidated information excluded a $77 million gain on the sale of MMR oil and gas properties because of the application of the full cost method of accounting.

Eagle Ford Disposition. On June 20, 2014, FCX completed the sale of its Eagle Ford shale assets to a subsidiary of Encana Corporation (Encana) for cash consideration of $3.1 billion, before closing adjustments from the April 1, 2014, effective date through closing. Under full cost accounting rules, the proceeds were recorded as a reduction of capitalized oil and gas properties, with no gain or loss recognition, except for $58 million of deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the allocation of $221 million of goodwill (for which deferred taxes were not previously provided) to the Eagle Ford shale assets. Approximately $1.3 billion of proceeds from this transaction was placed in a like-kind exchange escrow to reinvest into additional oil and gas interests. On June 30, 2014, $919 million from this like-kind exchange escrow was used to fund the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) acquisition discussed below. The remaining $414 million of funds in the like-kind exchange escrow may be used to acquire additional interests in the Deepwater GOM on a tax-efficient basis. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds was used to reduce indebtedness.

Deepwater GOM Acquisition. On June 30, 2014, FCX completed the acquisition of interests in the Deepwater GOM from a subsidiary of Apache Corporation, including interests in the Lucius and Heidelberg oil production development projects and several exploration leases, for $919 million. Based on preliminary valuations, and including transaction costs and estimated asset retirement costs, FCX recorded capitalized costs for oil and gas properties subject to amortization of $460 million and costs not subject to amortization of $476 million. The Deepwater GOM acquisition was funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Eagle Ford shale assets.
