Global Operations
Canada's oil sands will play a major role in meeting growing energy demand. Marathon owns interests in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project and in in-situ oil sands leases in Alberta.
Our United States operations cover regions throughout North America, including:
Marathon's base assets offshore the U.K. include the Brae Complex and the Foinaven Field.
We operate multiple licenses offshore in this strategic core area where we have significant liquids production. We continue to develop our Alvheim/Vilje area, drilling exploration wells in select blocks.
Marathon is an early entrant into Poland's Lower Paleozoic shale play, a large and highly significant unconventional gas opportunity. We operate concessions totaling around 2.3M gross acres across Poland.
Marathon owns positions in four exploration blocks in the underexplored onshore Iraqi Kurdistan Region, which is an impact exploration entry for Marathon with significant resource potential per prospect.
Marathon is a member of the Waha Group, which acquired exploration and production rights in Libya in the mid-1950s. We have interests in the Waha Concessions in the prolific Sirte Basin.
Our gas liquids recovery operations and key base assets are the foundation of our Integrated Gas segment in Equatorial Guinea, where we also address health, social, education and other issues.
Development is proceeding in our offshore Angola growth asset, with first production planned in 2011/2012 in Blocks 31 and 32, where 30 successful wells have been drilled.
Marathon conducts exploration in high-potential, underexplored areas across approximately 2 million net acres in three blocks offshore Indonesia.
Global:
Marathon’s exploration activities are focused on adding profitable production to existing core areas and developing potential new core areas throughout the world.
Marathon’s production operations supply liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas to the growing world energy markets. Worldwide production operations are currently focused in North America, Africa and Europe. The Company also holds ownership interests in both operated and outside-operated oil sands leases in Canada that could be developed using in-situ methods of extraction.
Marathon’s integrated gas strategy is adding value through the development of opportunities created by the demand for natural gas. Integrated gas complements Marathon’s exploration and production operations and opens a wide array of strategic investment opportunities designed to add sustainable value growth.
Integrated gas transforms natural gas resources into a range of downstream products including liquefied natural gas (LNG), ultra-clean fuels, special lubricants produced by gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies and petrochemical feedstocks such as methanol. Gas may be used to generate power for local markets as well.
Marathon owns a 20 percent outside-operated interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP), which includes the Muskeg River and Jackpine mines, the Scotford Upgrader and over 215,000 acres of potentially mineable land in Alberta, Canada. This asset gives Marathon access to stable, long-lived Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) production that will be increased through several phased expansions over the next decade.
The AOSP is a joint venture between Marathon Oil Canada (20 percent), Shell Canada Energy (60 percent) and Chevron Canada Limited (20 percent). Shell is the operator.
Marathon recognizes that operating in communities and countries is a privilege. We manage our business in a way that promotes social, environmental and economic benefits for our stakeholders. We believe that our efforts to build a competitive workforce, enhance health and wellbeing, and protect the environment benefit both Marathon and the communities where we operate.
The foundation to our approach is Living Our Values, our long-standing commitment to health and safety, environmental stewardship, honesty and integrity, corporate citizenship and a high performance team. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy keeps us focused on key concepts that help align our social responsibility efforts with our business goals, needs and operations.
