Downstream corporate strategies: the Majors edition
Report summary
Without downstream integration, the Majors would have struggled to survive through the oil price downturn. 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?
