Operational and statistical information – continued
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.
