Living Values in Exploration and Discovery  

 

Every year, Anadarko makes several of the world’s major oil and natural gas discoveries. With 5,700 employees operating in 15 countries, Anadarko is recognized as an industry leader for exploration, acquiring, and developing resources with a commitment to global health and welfare.  

 

“Few industries have the kind of power and potential that oil and natural gas does to elevate economies to a whole new level,” said Anadarko Director of External Communications, John Christiansen.

 

Onshore, Anadarko’s strength lies in unconventional resource development, including shale and tight gas extraction. An industry leader in deepwater exploration with a success rate of approximately 70% against the industry average of 40% to 50%, Anadarko discovered the Brazilian Peregrino field and owns explorations in the Campos and Espírito Santo basins.

 

“We find the resources and bring them to commerciality more efficiently than many other players,” said Mr. Christiansen. “For example, our Lucius and Heidelberg discoveries in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico are both on track to achieve first oil in just three years from their sanctioning date. That’s our niche on the development side.”

 

One of the pioneers of  spar deepwater technology, Anadarko creates lasting partnerships to share knowledge among projects. Values of integrity, servant leadership, open communication, commercial focus, and people form the company’s standards. Safety is even built into the compensation structure of its employees.

 

In Colorado, Anadarko recently engaged with community members, government, and environmental groups to develop stricter emission regulations, demonstrating its servant leadership.

 

Anadarko values local content and sustainable value creation as an operator in Brazil. Mr. Christiansen said, “There are two things that make a great company. One is having a deep portfolio of world-class assets, which, our company has. The other is having the people to turn that into value. People ultimately form your competitive advantage.”
