摘要

Total Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie told investors on Wednesday that his company needs to be more aggressive in finding more oil through the drillbit, while continuing its active role in both buying and selling assets into the global marketplace. De Margerie stuck by Total's 2% annual production growth rate during the compa- ny's mid-year outlook session (IOD May3,p1). This includes 800,000 boe/d of additions from new project start-ups be- tween 2009 and 2014.
