Exploration & Production adjusted net operating loss was $209 million in the second quarter compared to adjusted net operating income of $2,022 million a year ago due to the sharp drop in oil and gas prices and lower production. Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $1,810 million in the second quarter compared to $4,882 million a year earlier for the same reasons.
Exploration & Production adjusted net operating income fell to $494 million in the first half 2020 from $3,744 million in the first half 2019 due to the sharp drop in oil and gas prices. Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $4,386 million compared to $9,128 million in the first half 2019.

Refinery throughput volumes decreased by 22% in the second quarter and in the first half of 2020 year-on-year, mainly due to prolonging the planned shutdown at Feyzin in France, the decision to not restart Grandpuits after a major turnaround given the drop in demand and the shutdown of the distillation unit at the Normandy platform following an incident at the end of 2019.
Monomer production was:
-- Up by a strong 40% in the second quarter compared to a year ago. In the second quarter 2019, it was 993 kt due to planned maintenance on the steamcrackers at Daesan in South Korea and Port Arthur in the United States. -- Up 16% in the first half for the same reasons.
Polymer production was:
-- Up 6% in the second quarter 2020 compared to a year ago. It was 1,127 kt in the second quarter 2019 due to planned maintenance of the steamcracker upstream of the polymer units at Daesan in South Korea. -- Stable in the first half for the same reasons and taking into account the closure of the polystyrene site at El Prat in Spain and the planned maintenance at the Qatofin platform in Qatar in the first quarter 2020.

Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income decreased by 20% to $575 million in the second quarter 2020 compared to a year ago. The decrease was notably due to an even more severely degraded refining margin environment in the second quarter and low plant utilization of 59%, partially offset by resilient petrochemical margins and outperformance of the trading activities.
Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $996 million in the second quarter of 2020, up 24% year-on-year for the reasons above as well as the receipt in the second quarter of the dividend from HTC.
In the first half 2020, Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income was $1 billion, down 35% compared to a year ago, and operating cash flow before working capital changes decreased by 13% to $1.7 billion. This decrease was notably linked to the degraded refining margin environment in the first half and to the weak plant utilization rate of 64%, partially offset by resilient petrochemical margins and very good performance of the trading activities.
