French to English: Le groupe s’est hissé au quatrième rang mondial de l’industrie pétrolière
Source text - French AU ROYAUME des «majors» du pétrole, Total n’est pas encore un géant. Mais il gagne année après année ses galons de joueur majeur, et gagnant.
Le tour de force de Total est de s’être hissé au rang de numéro quatre de l’industrie pétrolière—devant le numéro deux américain, ChevronTexaco—en étant presque absent des Etats-Unis, premier pays consommateur et qui demeure l’un des plus gros producteurs de pétrole.
« Contrairement à Shell, Exxon ou BP, la production de Total ne baisse pas, souligne Antoine Leurent, analyste de KBC Securities. Le groupe a eu une politique constante en matière d’exploration-production (…) et l’intelligence de conserver des gens qui détenaient le savoir-faire, notamment chez Elf, au contraire de Shell, qui a licencié de dixaines de milliers de personnes. »
Résultat: «Total est celui qui présente la meilleure visibilité, car il a continue à investir en bas de cycle», renchérit Aymeric de Villaret, chez SG Securities.
M. Desmarest a ainsi pu tranquillement annoncer, Mercredi 18 février, «une nouvelle période de cinq ans, 2004-2008, au cours de laquelle nous nous sommes fixé pour objectif de faire croître nos productions de 4% par an.»
Certains analystes faisaient remarquer, Jeudi, que cela traduisait un ralentissement, par rapport aux 5% de rythme annuel généré ces cinq dernières années.
Mais tandis que Shell se débat avec les consequences d’une revision à la baisse de 20% de ses reserves prouvées, Total affirme que les siennes vont continuer à progresser de 2% par an…
Translation - English In the kingdom of oil’s “major players,” Total has yet to become a giant. Yet year after year it earns its stripes as a player and as a winner.
Total’s tour de force lies in having risen to the place of fourth-ranking company in the oil industry, ahead of America’s second largest oil company, ChevronTexaco. This is in spite of Total’s virtual absence in the United States, the leading consumer and one of the largest oil producers.
“Contrary to that of Shell, Exxon or BP, Total’s production is not in decline,” stated Antoine Leurent, an analyst for KBC Securities. “The group has followed a consistent policy in regards to exploration and production…and, unlike Shell, which has laid off tens of thousands of employees, has had the good sense to keep people who have the necessary know-how—especially those from Elf.”
The result is that “Total is the company which presents the best visibility because they continued to invest during periods of economic slowdown,” added Aymeric de Villaret at SG Securities.
Mr. Desmarest was thus able to announce on Wednesday, February 18 “a new five-year period, from 2004 to 2008, during which we have made it our goal to expand production by 4% each year.”
Some analysts noted on Thursday that that meant a slowdown to the tune of 5% of the annual pace of the last five years.
But while Shell is struggling with the consequences of a 20% downward revision of its proved reserves, Total insists that theirs will continue to expand by 2% per year…
