growth technologies

Our industry will be judged by outputs not inputs. That's why focused efforts are on the areas of science and technology that will make the biggest difference to customers and the long-term future of the global energy business. This means working in partnership, often at speed and on a global scale. Above all it means putting technology to work where it really counts.

Exploring technology - technology has put us ahead in the search for new oil and gas reserves. Using seismic imaging techniques to explore beneath subsurface salt formations that conventional seismic imaging cannot reveal effectively. Advanced technologies like these have help make major discoveries and achieve some of the lowest finding costs per barrel in the industry.

Developing technology - technology has transformed development of new discoveries and mature fields. Recent breakthroughs in drilling technology have improved efficiency to push the boundaries where there are extreme reservoir conditions.
