Strategy
Greater value for greater solidity
The strong synergies between the Exploration and Development businesses guarantee organic production growth.
The foundation of our success
We can rely on our strengths which allow us to evolve yet remain true to our nature. What makes us stand out in the contemporary energy arena?
A growth strategy
It is founded on four pillars: transformation into an integrated oil and gas company, growth, restructuring of the mid-downstream and cost efficiency.
Great exploration success
Our value grows above all thanks to exploration: between now and 2020 we will drill around 120 wells in more than 20 countries and discover 2-3 billion boe of new resources.
New projects in sight
Hydrocarbon production is expected to grow by over 3 per cent each year thanks to new projects capable of generating about 800,000 boe per day in 2019.
Evolution and restructuring
Or, more precisely, the renegotiation of long-term contracts and a reduction in logistics costs in gas and power and more efficient operations in refining and marketing.
Flexibility and disposals
We expect divestments for €7 billion; non-utilised CAPEX will provide great flexibility to our portfolio. We are ready to face the challenge.
Dividends
For 2017, we are committed to paying our shareholders a dividend of €0.80 per share and have chosen a sustainable remuneration policy.
Our business targets in figures
A single model
We constantly renew and diversify our exploration portfolio. The great results of recent years in exploration are due to sustainable management of our activities. We decided to sell part of the interest in some recent gas discoveries while maintaining the role of operator in country. This strategy is a response to the “Dual Exploration Model” and is in line with the 2017-20 asset disposal plan.
