High-margin barrels produced responsibly
bpx energy operates in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins in Texas, as well as the Haynesville Basin in Texas and Louisiana, focusing on safely producing high-margin barrels while lowering emissions. The business achieved its target of boosting output by 30-40% by 2025, from 2022 levels, one year ahead of schedule.
bpx is improving its drilling program, leveraging the latest technology and driving innovation wherever possible. The business uses proprietary automation software that reduces cycle times and drives further efficiencies in its operations.
