Our business divisions
Upstream
This is where it all begins. Where the story of safely and responsibly meeting the global demand for energy starts. Across the upstream, our geologists, engineers and scientists work tirelessly to explore for and develop oil and natural gas using innovation and industry-leading technology.
Upstream business lines
Our Upstream business is organized into five businesses: unconventional, deepwater, heavy oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and conventional. This organizational model is underpinned by deep technical and commercial capabilities along each value chain.
Conventional
Conventional oil and natural gas is the largest and most diverse value chain in the Upstream portfolio, and has operations spanning a wide range of operating conditions in nearly 20 countries.
