  • Production in the Americas grew to some 760 thousand boe/d in 2014, mainly due to major deep-water projects coming on stream and new wells being connected to existing assets.
  • After-tax earnings from the oil and gas exploration and production operations of our subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in the region were $1.3 billion.
  • We started up key projects, including Mars B and Cardamom, in the Gulf of Mexico.
