Previously, the business did not attract the same capital and strategic attention as Upstream. But in a low-carbon, capital-disciplined world this is changing. Downstream is now a critical element of the Majors’ future profitability. Segment returns have averaged 20% since 2015 and capital is starting to flow back in. How well are the Majors positioned in downstream? And how will their refining, marketing and chemicals strategies evolve over time?
