Investor presentation summary
1 Oct, 2026Strategic execution and portfolio overview
Leveraging scale and a diverse asset base to sustain production at 490-500 kboepd, with a focus on lower-cost, lower-tax basins and competitive shareholder returns.
Five core countries—Norway, UK, Argentina, US, and Mexico—drive results, with 1.4 bnboe reserves and 1.9 bnboe resources at year-end 2025.
Recent acquisitions (LLOG in US, Waldorf in UK) and divestments have strengthened the portfolio and increased operational control.
Production is maintained at scale through high-return projects and an 18-year organic inventory.
Operational and financial performance

Free cash flow reached $1.8bn in H1 2026, supporting accelerated debt reduction and $400m in announced share buybacks.
Adjusted earnings per share rose to 28 cents, and leverage remained low at 0.7x net debt/EBITDAX.
Significant liquidity of $4.1bn and successful refinancing of a $3.0bn RCF, extending maturity to 2031.
