What ExxonMobil does

One of the world's largest oil majors, producing oil and gas and refining fuels and chemicals globally.

Sells crude oil, gas, fuels and chemicals at market prices, with production earning the most when prices are high and refining and chemicals acting as a counterweight when they are low. Its biggest expansions are in the Permian Basin and offshore Guyana, where it is operator, and it bought Pioneer Natural Resources in 2024.

  • Low-carbon (CCS, hydrogen, lithium)

Customers

  • Global fuel/chemical markets
  • Industrial & consumer end-users

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Energy
  • Integrated oil & gas
  • Upstream, refining & chemicals

What could go right

  • Permian/Guyana production growth
  • Refining/chemicals margin cycles

What could go wrong

  • Oil & gas price volatility
  • Energy transition/regulatory risk

Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage, installed base). Scale across integrated upstream-to-downstream operations lowers unit costs versus smaller producers.
