Report summary
Marathon Oil Corporation made a strategic decision to simplify and concentrate its portfolio on lower-cost, higher-margin US resource plays. Its portfolio went through deep restructuring: conventional, international assets were offloaded, and capital was recycled into tight oil acquisitions. Conventional exploration was dropped as a growth option. The company now has exposure to the four leading US tight oil plays – the Eagle Ford, Bakken, Mid-Continent and the Permian. All compete for capital following operating performance improvements and cost reductions achieved through the downturn.
