From reservoir to the world
Every barrel travels the same road, from the first survey to the ship that carries it abroad. This is the chain we invest along.
Exploration
Seismic trucks send sound into the ground. The echoes map the rock layers and show where oil may be trapped.
Drilling
A rig drills down through the cap rock into the reservoir, and the well is lined with steel and cement.
Production
Pumpjacks and wellheads lift oil and gas to the surface, day and night.
Processing and storage
Oil, gas and water are separated, and the crude waits in tank farms.
Refining
Refineries heat crude in tall columns and split it into fuels and products.
Overland transport
Pipelines and tanker trailers carry crude and fuel across the country to the coast.
Export
At the marine terminal, loading arms fill tankers that sail to markets around the world.
What we look for
