In the company's upstream business, approximately US$8 billion is allocated to currently producing assets, including about US$3 billion for Permian Basin unconventional development and approximately US$1.5 billion for other shale and tight assets worldwide. Additionally, US$3 billion of the upstream programme is planned for major capital projects underway, of which about US$2 billion is associated with the Future Growth Project and Wellhead Pressure Management Project (FGP / WPMP) at the Tengiz field in Kazakhstan. Finally, approximately US$1.5 billion is allocated to exploration, early-stage development projects, midstream activities and carbon reduction opportunities.
