We further reduced flaring from our Exploration and Production operations.

We continued our work to improve the energy efficiency of our operations.

We again reduced operational spills. Spills due to sabotage in Nigeria have risen.

Our stakeholders continued to see our environmental performance as best amongst our peers.

Our freshwater use rose slightly.

During 2007 we further reduced the volume of oil in effluent discharged from our facilities.

Our phase-out of ozone depleting emissions from our operations continued.

We produced more waste, mainly due to environmental clean-up operations.

We continued to reduce these emissions.
