Performance data

To ensure that the data provided in our performance data table is relevant, we selected indicators based on guidance provided by the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association and cross-referenced against the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Guidelines.

In December 2010, our involvement in a three-year, industry-wide effort concluded with the publication of an updated guide, the IPIECA, API, OGP: Oil and Gas Industry Guidance on Voluntary Sustainability Reporting. We plan to report in accordance with the updated Guidance beginning in reporting year 2011.
