BP is one of the largest producers of natural gas in the US Lower 48. Through a series of mergers with Amoco, ARCO, and Vastar Resources, the company has built a vast portfolio of upstream and downstream operations. BP operates in the Mid-Continent, Rocky Mountains, and Gulf Coast regions. BP has historically produced from mature, low-risk assets in the Mid-Continent. In mid-2008, the company acquired positions in two unconventional shale plays, the Fayetteville and Arkoma Woodford, from Chesapeake. These acquisitions introduced much needed long-term growth opportunities in BP's portfolio of mature fields. However, because its Mid-Continent production is overwhelmingly gas, the company has scaled back investment since the downturn in gas prices. In the near term, BP's focus in the Mid-Continent is on the Cleveland tight sand in the Anadarko Basin and Woodford shale in the Arkoma Basin.

Stabroek is a world-class exploration block that has yielded eight deepwater discoveries for ExxonMobil and its partners since 2015. Given the scale of resource now established, the development of the block is a key growth pillar for the companies involved and will have a transformative impact on Guyana itself. Seven of the finds (Liza, Liza Deep, Longtail, Pacora, Payara, Snoek, Turbot) are clustered in sandstone reservoirs in the southeast of the block and their proximity will facilitate ...

The West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) block is located in the Mediterranean around 110 kilometres northeast of Alexandria. Between 1998 and 2002 BG made a total of nine gas discoveries and proved enough gas reserves for a substantial domestic market contract and two LNG trains. In August 1999, development approval was granted for the first two discoveries; the Saffron and Scarab gas fields. The two fields were developed via subsea completion and tied back to onshore processing facilities.
