Anadarko has been a global player for nearly two decades and currently has production in Alaska, Algeria, China and Ghana. We have a strong history of safely bringing international projects on stream, on schedule and within budget. When entering new areas, we also conduct and fund social and environmental impact studies to ensure our operations are conducted in harmony with the local culture, land, air and water.

Ghana
On Dec. 15, 2010, Anadarko and its partners announced first oil from the world-class Jubilee field offshore Ghana. The project achieved this milestone in just 3.5 years following first discovery, a record timeframe for a project of this nature. Jubilee serves as a foundation in this prolific basin that provides the potential for future growth and value with adjacent discoveries and development success.
Algeria
Anadarko is engaged in exploration, development and production activities in Algeria's Sahara Desert. At the end of 2009, a total of nine fields have been discovered by Anadarko and were on production. Anadarko's Algeria operations recently surpassed a significant milestone -- 1.25 billion barrels of cumulative gross production.
When Anadarko signed the Production Sharing Agreement with Sonatrach at the end of the 1980s, we made a commitment to perform as much of the work in Algeria as possible, including the sub-surface management. In 1998, Sonatrach and Anadarko formed a joint-operating association called Groupement Berkine.
Today, Groupement Berkine's management is based in Hassi Messaoud. The facility operations and engineering departments, maintenance, logistics and health, safety and environment employees are located at the field site in Hassi Berkine.
