Hoover's coverage by Stuart Hampton

Overview

In the long-running competition for profits in the oil and gas industry, Marathon Oil is keeping up a steady pace. The company explores for and produces oil and gas primarily in Angola, Canada, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Norway, Indonesia, the UK, and the US. In 2010 it reported proved reserves of 1.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent including 572 million barrels of synthetic oil from oil sands. Formerly a holding company with both upstream and downstream operations, in 2011 the company spun off its downstream unit Marathon Petroleum (which accounted for the bulk of its revenues) and became a pure-play exploration and production company.
