In summary:
While production rates have exceeded discovery rates for the last 20 years,
- Large volumes of discovered oil remain undeveloped, in challenging areas that will require the best in technology and creativity for us to access
There will be exciting new discoveries in different areas of the world,

- in both exploration and production
- where success will reward those with creativity and technical acumen.
Throughout the world..
