Newfield Exploration Company - Strategy
We are guided by our Founding Business Principles.
These Principles are the reason behind our success and were used as we
established new focus areas.
The elements of our growth strategy have remained substantially
unchanged since our founding and consist of:
- Balancing our efforts among exploration, the acquisition of
proved reserves and the development of proved properties;
- Growing reserves through the drilling of a balanced risk/reward
portfolio;
- Focusing on select geographic areas;
- Controlling operations and costs;
- Using 3-D seismic data and other advanced technologies; and
- Attracting and retaining a quality workforce through equity
ownership and other performance-based incentives.
