The German company has reduced its projected investments for this year, following the strategy of other oil companies. The planned capex for 2020 is between €1.2 billion and €1.5 billion, with €150 million to €250 million expected to be allocated to exploration, representing reductions of 20% and 56%, respectively, compared to the estimated values before the crisis.

With the merger of Wintershall Holding GmbH and DEA Deutsche Erdoel AG, two companies formed a gas and oil company in Europe: Wintershall Dea. The company, with German roots and headquarters in Kassel and Hamburg, explores and produces gas and oil in 13 countries around the world. With operations in Europe, Russia, Latin America, and the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa), Wintershall Dea has a global upstream portfolio and, with its participation in natural gas transportation, also engages in midstream activities.
