maximum oil output capacity at 12m b/d, aims to double gas
production, CEO Khalid Al-Falih said in Stavanger today.
* CEO says shale oil/gas, ‘one of best things’ to have
happened; have kept prices in a band
* Geopolitical events clouding outlook, costs/risk likely to
put downward pressure on supply; also ‘bullish factors’ that
offset that picture, Al-Falih says
* Company’s project costs have about doubled during last 10
years; recruitment has become ‘acute challenge’
