MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-08-06
The terms “earnings” and “loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to net income (loss). Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, certain totals and percentages may differ from the precise sum of the underlying components due to rounding.
In the third quarter of 2025, we announced a total disposition target of $5 billion by year-end 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, we entered into agreements to sell our interests in certain noncore assets in the Lower 48 segment for approximately $1.7 billion, subject to customary closing adjustm…
Operationally, we remain focused on safely executing the business while also progressing key strategic initiatives. During the second quarter of 2026, we entered into certain commercial LNG agreements, expanding our commercial offtake from 10.2 MTPA to 12.2 MTPA.
In June 2026, we and a third-party operator jointly signed an agreement with the Syrian government and Syrian Petroleum Company to increase production from, and further develop, certain gas fields in Syria, from which we do not expect material impacts in 2026.
In July 2026, we entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (bp) to acquire a 42 percent direct equity holding in a non-operated joint venture, supporting the ongoing redevelopment of four large-scale, currently producing oil fields in the Kirkuk area of northern Iraq.

The terms “earnings” and “loss” as used in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refer to net income (loss).
Production was 2,309 MBOED in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 80 MBOED from the same period a year ago. After adjusting for impacts from closed acquisitions and dispositions, first-quarter 2026 production decreased by 14 MBOED or one percent from the same period a year ago.
First-quarter 2026 production resulted in $4.3 billion of cash provided by operating activities. We returned $2.0 billion to shareholders, consisting of $1.0 billion through share repurchases and $1.0 billion through our ordinary dividend. We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, restricted…
Also in the first quarter of 2026, we re-invested $2.9 billion into the business in the form of capital expenditures and investments, with over half of the expenditures related to flexible, short-cycle unconventional plays in the Lower 48 segment.
In April 2026, we declared a second-quarter ordinary dividend of $0.84 per share.
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
