Resources plays

We currently have resources plays positions in 13 countries in tight gas and shales (“unconventionals”). Our production today is predominantly in North America gas and liquids-rich plays, with exploration and appraisal underway around the world. We are building up our operating capabilities by working to reduce costs in the supply chain, for example the Sirius joint venture in China, where we are joint owners of drilling rigs with PetroChina’s service company Great Wall drilling. We have published global principles for fraccing operations, covering water use and community relations amongst others.
