U.S. OIL DEBT
From 2012 through the end of 2015, debt was a significant source of capital for the producers included in the analysis, with the addition of a cumulative $55.3 billion in net debt. Since the beginning of 2016, however, these producers have reduced debt by $1.4 billion. The combination of higher equity and lower debt has resulted in the long-term debt-to-equity ratio, a measure of financial leverage, declining from 88% to 80% for the group of companies as a whole between the first quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017.

BP: EXCELLENCE, SUSTAINABILITY, COLLABORATION
I think there are three areas where we should focus our efforts.
The first is excellence in our operations, or as this session’s title puts it, leadership in responsible operations.
The second, is sustainability in our products - fully realising the benefits of both natural gas and renewables as well as our Downstream product range.
And the third is collaboration, or simply working together, in our partnerships - the kind of working together that makes new things happen and drives real change.
