Our activities

We aim to produce energy resources and deliver products in the right way: with respect for people and the environment, and with safety as our first priority. We are producing more natural gas, the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, and finding innovative ways to convert it into useful products. We operate in challenging conditions such as deep water, and our plans to develop new energy resources include exploring in the Arctic. We are producing low-carbon biofuel and helping to develop advanced biofuels for the future.

Sustainable development in action

When planning and developing new projects, or expanding existing facilities, we assess the potential impact on the environment and consider the views of local communities when we make decisions.
