Thread regarding ConocoPhillips layoffs

2020 disposition candidates

I don’t understand why there is new declaration of dispositions. What assets are left to be sold ? I thought all marginal assets are already gone. What’s the use of selling assets and buying back stocks? Is there ever thoughts about production growth at higher up levels?
