Our goal is to be a focused oil and gas company that delivers value over
volume
We are pursuing our strategy by setting clear priorities, actively managing a
quality portfolio and employing our distinctive capabilities. Our financial
objective is to create shareholder value by generating sustainable free cash
flow (operating cash flow less net investment). This disciplined approach
enables us to invest for the future while aiming to increase distributions to
our investors.
Clear priorities
First, we aim to run safe, reliable and compliant operations leading to
better operational efficiency and safety performance. We also aim to achieve
competitive project execution, which is about delivering projects efficiently
so they are on time and on budget. And we aim to make disciplined financial
choices, so we can achieve continued growth in operating cash from our
underlying businesses and disciplined allocation of capital.
Quality portfolio
We undertake active portfolio management to concentrate on areas where
we can play to our strengths. This means we continue to grow our
exploration position, reloading our upstream pipeline. We focus on high-value
upstream assets in deepwater, giant fields and selected gas value chains.
And, with our downstream businesses, we plan to leverage our newly
upgraded assets, customer relationships and technology to grow free cash
flow. Our portfolio of projects and operations is focused where we can
generate the most value, and not necessarily the most volume, through our
production
Distinctive capabilities
Our ability to deliver against our priorities and build the right portfolio
depends on our distinctive capabilities. We apply advanced technology
across the hydrocarbon value chain, from finding resources to developing
energy-efficient and high-performance products for customers. We rely on
our strong relationships with governments, partners, civil society and
others to enable our operations in around 80 countries across the globe.
And, the proven expertise of our employees comes to the fore in a wide
range of disciplines
