Two scenarios show oil remains vital but shifts toward petrochemicals, while electrification and renewables surge. Geopolitical fragmentation and weak energy efficiency could slow the transition and increase fossil fuel use. Most expect a slower transition and higher gas demand by 2050.
-
Strong Q2 2025 results featured robust upstream growth, record exploration success, and disciplined cost reductions. Cash flow and earnings were driven by high operational reliability, tight refining margins, and strong trading, with further portfolio optimization and capital returns planned.
-
Strong operational and financial performance in H1 2025, with $2.4B underlying net income, $6.3B operating cash flow, and a 4% dividend increase. Upstream growth, cost reductions, and portfolio optimization underpin positive outlook.

-
A comprehensive strategic reset reallocates capital to high-return oil and gas, streamlines transition investments, and targets $4–$5 billion in cost reductions by 2027. Cash flow and returns are set to grow, with a $20 billion divestment program and a net debt target of $14–$18 billion. Shareholder distributions will be 30–40% of operating cash flow.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Strategic progress in 2024 included new projects, portfolio reshaping, and cost reductions. Upstream production rose 2%, while refining faced challenges but improvement plans are underway. Dividend grew 10%, $7B in buybacks announced, and a strategy reset will be detailed at the upcoming capital markets event.
-
2024 saw strong upstream production and cost reductions, but lower refining margins and trading results led to a decline in EBITDA and profits. Divestments, new JVs, and a focus on capital-light growth shaped the year, with further strategic updates expected at the February capital markets event.
-
Q3 saw strong upstream performance and resilient operations, with $2.3B underlying profit, $7B in 2024 buybacks, and continued portfolio high-grading. Downstream and trading faced headwinds from weak oil trading and refining margins, but transition growth engines like EV charging and biogas showed robust growth.
-
Q3 underlying profit was $2.3B, down from Q2, with strong upstream production and ongoing cost-saving initiatives. Asset divestments and digital transformation are driving efficiency, while a $1.75B share buyback and resilient dividend highlight continued shareholder focus.
-
Q2 2024 saw strong operational performance, $8.1B in operating cash flow, and net debt reduced to $22.6B. Cost savings and growth in transition businesses are on track, with a 10% dividend increase and $3.5B in buybacks for H2 2024. Volatility in refining and biofuels persists.
-
Two scenarios—Current Trajectory and Net Zero—frame possible energy futures, with both showing a shift from energy addition to substitution, rapid growth in renewables, and declining oil demand. Delaying action risks disorderly, costly transitions, while global decarbonization, energy efficiency, and applying existing technologies are key to accelerating progress.
