Net oil and gas wells completed or abandoned
The following table shows the number of net productive and dry exploratory and development oil and natural gas wells completed or abandoned in the
years indicated by the group and its equity-accounted entities. Productive wells include wells in which hydrocarbons were encountered and the drilling
or completion of which, in the case of exploratory wells, has been suspended pending further drilling or evaluation. A dry well is one found to be
incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities to justify completion.
