    ExxonMobil Targets 65% Advantaged Upstream Production by 2030

    Question

    ExxonMobil Targets 65% Advantaged Upstream Production by 2030

    Direct answer

    ExxonMobil is accelerating capital allocation into its lowest breakeven resource basins, projecting that advantaged assets will generate 65% of total upstream production by 2030. Key growth pillars include deepwater Guyana operations, Permian unconventional acreage, and global LNG export infrastructure. Downstream operations are running at high utilization to maximize crack spread capture in tight refined product markets while benchmark crude trades near $100 per barrel.
