CNOOC Ltd’s latest strategy update highlights its commitment to a traditional upstream business model, in contrast to industry trends du jour. The company is eschewing capital discipline and the focus on shareholder returns in favour of higher production targets and more spending. But there was no discussion on the energy transition at the 2020 strategy update. This felt like a missed opportunity, particularly for a company with an internal new energies business unit.
