Business Development - Adding Value Through Acquisitions - Three Majors’ Views

For the May Program, the panelists will discuss how their companies add value through acquisitions. What are their plans for the remainder of 2003? How do they handle Wall Street demands for production growth? What process do they use to determine non-strategic assets? How have the liquidity concerns of the last twelve months affected their business plan? What are their plans for drilling, acquiring and selling of assets? Are they looking to make another big move? Our panelists will address these topics and field questions from the audience during the Q&A session.
