          Our purpose and strategy

          Our corporate purpose is to create long-term shareholder value through the discovery, acquisition, development
          and marketing of natural resources. We do this through our strategy: to own and operate large, long-life, low-cost,
          expandable, upstream assets diversified by commodity, geography and market.
