Report summary
For the purpose of this report, we have analysed Anadarko's exploration performance from 2009-2018. This effectively shows the value of Anadarko's discoveries had it not not been bought by Occidental. Returns from Anadarko's conventional exploration activity over the last decade were just 5%. Conversely, the sale of non-core and dry gas acreage onshore US boosted returns from unconventional exploration. Overall returns from exploration were 17%. Anadarko focused on high-margin domestic oil, both onshore and in the US Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, recent results were mixed and few new test areas were added.
