saw a volume reduction in Canada following the completion of two major projects, although this was offset by our investment in WHC Energy Services in the USA and solid year-on-year growth in both the UK and Ireland, highlighting the strength and resilience of Murphy\u2019s geographically diverse business model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operating profit increased 11%

sectors \u00a0continues, presenting growing opportunities in energy, water and transport, as demonstrated by the recently awarded Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (\u201cASTI\u201d) programmes for National Grid and SSEN, along with the award of the development phase of the $1 billion Bloor-Yonge Station Capacity Improvement project in Toronto, Canada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Investment in a 40% share of Australia\u2019s Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure, announced on 5 May 2025, marking the latest step in Murphy\u2019s plans to extend its geographical reach whilst remaining focused on the commitment to improve life by delivering world-class infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proven success in sectors
