oil platform on the ocean

ExxonMobil applies the most cost-effective technology and operations management systems to every asset to maximize the commercial recovery of hydrocarbons.

ExxonMobil’s diverse and robust asset base is balanced between mature producing fields and fields that are early in their producing lives.

ExxonMobil employs a global organization to manage oil and gas assets. Using this structure, we are able to leverage the transfer of technology and best practices across our global portfolio. We establish priorities on a worldwide basis and deploy resources when and where they are needed, drawing on an experienced, dedicated, and diverse workforce of exceptional quality.

Our strategies place significant emphasis on managing and optimizing base performance and continuously generating opportunities to maximize the value of our assets. High-quality reservoir management and rigorous depletion planning ensure optimum long-term performance from each of our fields and enhance production from existing wells. We continually invest in our existing asset base to enhance resource recovery, maximize profitability, and extend field life. New production volumes are generated through work programs including workovers, drilling new wells, and implementing secondary or tertiary recovery projects to access and develop resources not captured during the initial field development.
