Wintershall has been actively involved in the exploration for and production of crude oil and natural gas for more than 75 years, since 1969 as a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF. We focus on exploring for and producing oil and gas in selected core regions: Europe, North Africa, South America, as well as Russia and the Caspian Sea region, where the company has built up a high level of regional and technological expertise. With an annual production of over 100 million barrels oil equivalent, we are Germany’s largest crude oil and natural gas producer.

The company is actively pursuing a policy of ongoing investment in the development of new deposits and the expansion of existing fields. In this context Wintershall attaches the same importance to the stringent requirements in terms of environmental protection and work safety as it does to its economic targets.
