- Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
- The revenue from oil and gas exploration and production exhibited a rising trend from 2012 through 2014, increasing from 6,752 million US dollars in 2012 to a peak of 8,603 million US dollars in 2014. However, this segment experienced a marked decline thereafter, dropping significantly to 4,734 million in 2015 and further to 4,191 million in 2016. This indicates a substantial contraction in this core revenue area during the latter years.
- Midstream
- The midstream segment showed a consistent growth pattern from 2012 to 2015. Revenues rose steadily from 325 million US dollars in 2012 to 727 million US dollars in 2015, more than doubling over this period. In 2016, there was a slight decline to 635 million US dollars, suggesting some volatility or changing conditions impacting this area following its previous growth.
- Marketing
- Marketing revenues also increased from 6,230 million US dollars in 2012 to a peak of 7,390 million US dollars in 2013, maintaining a relatively stable level with 7,288 million in 2014. Nevertheless, a significant decline occurred in subsequent years, with revenues falling sharply to 4,025 million in 2015 and further decreasing to 3,621 million in 2016. This downturn mirrors the trend seen in the exploration and production segment and reflects a contraction in downstream operations or sales activities.
- Sales Revenues
- Total sales revenues followed a similar pattern to the other segments, increasing from 13,307 million US dollars in 2012 to 16,375 million in 2014. After this peak, total sales experienced a substantial drop, falling to 9,486 million in 2015 and further down to 8,447 million in 2016. The significant reduction in sales revenues post-2014 likely results from the combined declines in exploration and production and marketing revenues.
- Summary of Trends
- Overall, the data portrays a company whose revenue streams were growing or stable until 2014, followed by a pronounced downturn in 2015 and 2016 across most reported segments. The oil and gas exploration and production segment, a major contributor to revenue, showed the most acute decline, which was reflected in the overall sales revenue figures. Midstream revenues, although affected in 2016, demonstrated relative resilience with a positive growth trend until the prior year. The marketing segment's revenue contraction contributed to the overall reduction in total sales. These patterns may suggest adverse market conditions or operational challenges beginning in 2015 that affected multiple facets of the company's financial performance.
