Marathon Oil Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2012 Results

"Importantly, our investments in recent years have afforded us the ability to scale our growth to optimize value. We're committed to our goal of growing production at a 5 to 7 percent compound annual rate from 2010 through 2017, and we'll do so with our long-standing commitment to spending largely within our cash flows. While volume growth is critical to our success, value growth is the ultimate goal. A key focus in 2013 will be improving our earnings and cash margins as we grow," Cazalot added.
