“Our upstream business -- exploration and production -- continues to be the major contributor to overall profits, ... However, the improvement in earnings from the year-ago quarter was largely driven by our U.S. downstream operations -- refining, marketing and transportation.”
Dave O'Reilly
“As we have seen for more than a year, ... our upstream business -- exploration and production -- has been the major contributor to our higher profits.”

“We certainly designed it not to cause any additional flooding upstream. But then again, this is probably the first time since we built the flood-control project that we've had a flow of that size. So we need to take a closer look at this and compare it to our modeling goals.”
Carlos Hernandez
“As you start developing and making improvements upstream, at some point you're probably going to want to take that restriction weir out to aid in reducing upstream flooding.”
