Included in the 2016 program are $4.5 billion of planned expenditures by affiliates. The 2016 budget is 24% lower than total expected investments for 2015.
"Our capital budget will enable us to complete and ramp-up projects under construction, fund high return, short-cycle investments, preserve options for viable long-cycle projects, and ensure safe, reliable operations," said Chairman and CEO John Watson .
"We gain significant flexibility in our capital program as we complete projects under construction," Watson continued. "Given the near-term price outlook, we are exercising discretion in pacing projects that have not reached final investment decision."
