"During the second quarter, we continued to demonstrate the earnings potential of
our company as margins increased over already strong first-quarter levels," said
LyondellBasell Chief Executive Officer Jim Gallogly. "Our EBITDA of more than
$1.5 billion brings our first half EBITDA to nearly $3 billion."

"In U.S. olefins, we continued to optimize plant operations across our assets,
taking advantage of low-cost natural gas liquids while at the same time
completing major maintenance activities at one of our Channelview olefins plants.
Improved cracker and butadiene margins led to solid European olefins results,"
added Gallogly. "Our Intermediates & Derivatives segment continued its strong,
stable performance. Our Refining & Oxyfuels segment captured margin through
improved operations and the purchase of advantaged crude oils for the Houston
refinery while oxyfuels volumes increased and spreads widened during the summer
driving season," Gallogly said.

"The Supervisory Board now consists of a majority of independent directors
following the election of four new members in May. During the second quarter, in
addition to repaying 10 percent of our 8 percent Notes, we also paid our first
dividend to shareholders," added Gallogly.

OUTLOOK

"Following a very strong first half of the year, we remain positive about the
balance of 2011," commented Gallogly. "The Chinese polyolefins market is giving
indications that it is recovering from its soft patch and although U.S. and
European polymer markets are still adjusting to this disruption, we are entering
a period of significant industry maintenance. Since our key U.S. maintenance
projects have been completed for the year, we should be the beneficiary of
tightened supply/demand conditions and any opportunities that this may create,"
continued Gallogly.

"Most importantly, the fundamentals that created strong first-half results remain
intact," Gallogly said. "Specifically, we continue to benefit from the favorable
ratio of U.S. natural gas prices to crude oil prices. The flexibility within our
assets makes us particularly well suited to benefit from this environment.
Additionally, our Houston refinery's ability to process discounted heavy crude
oils further enhances our favorable position. The benefits we capture in this
environment are clearly visible in our first half results. These fundamentals are
expected to continue into the foreseeable future."

LYONDELLBASELL BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT

LyondellBasell operates in five business segments: 1) Olefins & Polyolefins -
Americas; 2) Olefins & Polyolefins - Europe, Asia, International; 3)
Intermediates & Derivatives; 4) Refining & Oxyfuels; and 5) Technology.

Olefins & Polyolefins - Americas (O&P-Americas) - The primary products of this
segment include ethylene and its co-products (propylene, butadiene and benzene),
polyethylene, polypropylene and Catalloy process resins.

EBITDA5784841,062
-------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------- ----------------

(a)Operating income and EBITDA are calculated using the LIFO method of inventory accounting.See Table 8.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 -
O&P-Americas segment EBITDA increased $94 million versus the first quarter 2011.
Olefins profitability improved approximately $130 million despite the
approximately $75 million lost opportunity cost of the scheduled maintenance
activity at one of our Channelview olefins plants and an approximately $25
million weather related lost opportunity cost at our Morris, Ill. facility. An
ethylene sales price increase of approximately 9 cents per pound was partially
offset by an approximately 2 cents per pound increase in the company's average
cost-of-ethylene-production metric. Higher monomer prices contributed to an
approximately $50 million decline in polyethylene (PE) results as sales price
increases lagged monomer price increases. Polypropylene (PP) profits for the
second quarter 2011 increased approximately $10 million versus the first quarter
2011. Total polyolefins sales volumes were relatively unchanged from the prior
period.

Olefins & Polyolefins - Europe, Asia, International (O&P-EAI) - The primary
products of this segment include ethylene and its co-products (propylene and
butadiene), polyethylene, polypropylene, global polypropylene compounds, Catalloy
process resins and Polybutene-1 resins.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 -
O&P-EAI segment EBITDA increased $95 million versus the first quarter 2011 after
excluding a second-quarter 2011 joint venture dividend decline of $91 million and
approximately $60 million of accruals related to a proposed European staff
reorganization and possible environmental remediation charges. Olefins results
improved approximately $95 million from the first quarter 2011 due to
significantly improved cracker and butadiene margins. Production volumes were
relatively unchanged between the periods. Polyethylene results were approximately
equal to the prior period while combined polypropylene and polypropylene
compounds results improved approximately $10 million from the first quarter 2011.

Intermediates & Derivatives (I&D) - The primary products of this segment include
propylene oxide (PO) and its co-products (styrene monomer, tertiary butyl alcohol
(TBA), isobutylene and tertiary butyl hydroperoxide), and derivatives (propylene
glycol, propylene glycol ethers and butanediol); acetyls, and ethylene oxide and
its derivatives.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 - I&Dsegment EBITDA increased $44 million versus the first quarter 2011. Decreased
sales volumes, as a result of the end of the aircraft deicer season, were
primarily responsible for lower PO and PO derivatives results. Intermediates
profitability increased versus the first quarter 2011 as increased acetyls and
styrene margins and a $41 million gain on the sale of spent silver catalyst
boosted results.

Refining & Oxyfuels (R&O) - The primary products of this segment include
gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, jet fuel, petrochemical raw materials, methyl
tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE).

Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 -
Refining & Oxyfuels segment EBITDA increased $143 million versus the first
quarter 2011. The Houston refinery financial performance improved approximately
$135 million versus first quarter 2011. Crude oil throughput at the Houston
refinery increased slightly to 263,000 barrels per day. Refining margins improved
as the average industry benchmark margin increased approximately $2 per barrel
during the quarter. Margins realized at the Houston refinery increased by more
than the industry benchmark due to the purchase and processing of advantaged
crudes and operating benefits stemming from the first-quarter completion of the
fluid catalytic cracker turnaround. Absent from second quarter results is the $34
million first-quarter Houston refinery insurance settlement. At the Berre
refinery, results declined approximately $10 million from first quarter 2011 due
to low naphtha prices relative to gasoline and additional crude costs related to
the Libyan political situation. Throughput was reduced due to poor economics.
Oxyfuels results improved approximately $50 million compared to the first quarter
2011 due to seasonally higher volumes and margins.

Technology Segment - The principal products of the Technology segment include
polyolefin catalysts and production process technology licenses and related
services.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 -
Results declined compared to the prior quarter due to lower licensing income and
a $16 million charge related to the closing of a U.S. research facility.

Liquidity

Company liquidity, which we define as cash and cash equivalents plus funds
available through established lines of credit, was approximately $7.1 billion on
June 30, 2011. The cash balance was approximately $4.9 billion (including
restricted cash) on June 30, 2011.

Capital Spending

Capital expenditures, including maintenance turnaround, catalyst and IT related
expenditures, were $261 million during the second quarter 2011.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements in this release and the related teleconference relating to matters
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions of management which are
believed to be reasonable at the time made and are subject to significant risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially based on factors
including, but not limited to, the business cyclicality of the chemical, polymers
and refining industries; the availability, cost and price volatility of raw
materials and utilities, particularly the cost of oil and natural gas;
competitive product and pricing pressures; labor conditions; our ability to
attract and retain key personnel; operating interruptions (including leaks,
explosions, fires, weather-related incidents, mechanical failure, unscheduled
downtime, supplier disruptions, labor shortages, strikes, work stoppages or other
labor difficulties, transportation interruptions, spills and releases and other
environmental risks); the supply/demand balances for our and our joint ventures'
products, and the related effects of industry production capacities and operating
rates; our ability to achieve expected cost savings and other synergies; legal
and environmental proceedings; tax rulings, consequences or proceedings;
technological developments, and our ability to develop new products and process
technologies; current and potential governmental regulatory actions; political
unrest and terrorist acts; risks and uncertainties posed by international
operations, including foreign currency fluctuations; and our ability to comply
with debt covenants and service our substantial debt. Additional factors that
could cause results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of our Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which can be found at
lyondellbasell.com on the Investor Relations page and on the
Securities and Exchange Commission's website at sec.gov.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

This release makes reference to certain "non-GAAP" financial measures as defined
in Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We
report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, but believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures
provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying
business trends and performance of the company's ongoing operations. These
non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a
substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP.

We have included EBITDA in this press release, as we believe that EBITDA is a
measure commonly used by investors. However, EBITDA, as presented herein, may not
be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies due to
differences in the way the measure is calculated. For purposes of this release
and our other disclosures, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and restructuring costs, as adjusted for other items
management does not believe are indicative of the Company's underlying results of
operations, including but not limited to, impairment charges, reorganization
items and the effect of mark-to-market accounting on our warrants, to the extent
applicable as shown in Table 9 at the end of this release. EBITDA also includes
dividends from joint ventures. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to
profit or operating profit for any period as an indicator of our performance, or
as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP
financial measures are provided in the financial tables at the end of this
release.

OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURE PRESENTATION NOTES

As a result of the Company's reorganization proceedings and its emergence from
Chapter 11, financial results are prepared and disclosed for a predecessor
company for the time period before May 1, 2010, and the successor company for
time periods after April 30, 2010, the date of emergence. For financial
accounting purposes, the predecessor and successor companies are considered to be
two separate entities. As a result of the reorganization and application of
fresh-start accounting, the results of operations of the predecessor and
successor companies may not be comparable.

This release contains time sensitive information that is accurate only as of the
time hereof. Information contained in this release is unaudited and subject to
change. LyondellBasell undertakes no obligation to update the information
presented herein except to the extent required by law.
