## What the business does

ExxonMobil explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas, then processes, transports, trades, and sells them. Its businesses also make and sell fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, chemical products, and specialty materials including lubricants and resin systems. In the second quarter of 2026, its oil-and-gas production averaged 4.514 million oil-equivalent barrels per day (Q2 2026, high).

### How it makes money

- **Sales and other operating revenue** (97.8% (year ended 2025-12-31)) — Revenue from selling oil, natural gas, fuels, chemicals, and specialty products to customers.
- **Income from equity affiliates** (1.6% (year ended 2025-12-31)) — Income from ExxonMobil's share of results at businesses it owns jointly with other companies.

### Products

- **Crude oil and natural gas** — Oil and gas produced from fields around the world and sold to customers or used in ExxonMobil's other businesses.
- **Petroleum fuels** — Products made from crude oil, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating fuels.
- **Liquefied natural gas** — Natural gas cooled into liquid form so it can be transported by ship and sold to customers.
- **Petrochemicals** — Chemical materials used by manufacturers to make products such as plastics and other industrial goods.
- **Lubricants and base stocks** — Oils and the refined materials used to make lubricants for vehicles and equipment.
- **Proxxima resin systems** — Resin materials being developed for use in manufactured products.

### Customers

- Fuel distributors and retailers buy gasoline, diesel, and other fuels for resale to drivers and businesses.
- Airlines and other transport companies buy aviation fuel and other petroleum products.
- Chemical manufacturers buy petrochemical feedstocks and chemical products for making plastics and industrial materials.
- Industrial and commercial customers buy natural gas, lubricants, and specialty products for energy and equipment needs.

### Competitors

- Chevron Corporation (CVX) — Oil and natural gas production, refining, and sales of fuels and chemicals.
- Shell plc (SHEL) — Oil and natural gas production, liquefied natural gas, refining, and fuel sales.
- BP p.l.c. (BP) — Oil and natural gas production, refining, and sales of fuels and chemicals.
- TotalEnergies SE (TTE) — Oil and natural gas production, liquefied natural gas, refining, and fuel sales.

### What it depends on

- Revenue and production depend on global demand and market prices for oil, natural gas, fuels, and chemicals.
- Oil and gas production depends on access to fields, government permits and agreements, and cooperation with local partners.
- Operations and customer deliveries depend on refineries, pipelines, ships, suppliers, and transport routes; Middle East conflict disrupted production and shipments in 2026.

### What could go wrong

- Changes in oil, natural gas, fuel, and chemical prices or demand can affect sales, margins, and the value of production.
- Conflict, sanctions, or shipping interruptions can disrupt ExxonMobil's production, supplies, and deliveries, including in the Middle East.
- Environmental rules, greenhouse gas limits, taxes, permits, and related litigation can affect project costs, operations, and whether investments proceed.
