    ExxonMobil Targets 65% Advantaged Upstream Production by 2030

    Question

    ExxonMobil Targets 65% Advantaged Upstream Production by 2030

    Direct answer

    ExxonMobil is accelerating upstream portfolio concentration into low cost-of-supply basins, forecasting that Permian unconventional wells, offshore Guyana developments, and global LNG will account for 65% of total upstream volume by 2030. The asset optimization strategy pairs low-cost extraction with high refinery utilization, enabling integrated operators to capture both upstream netbacks and downstream processing margins while crude trades near $100 per barrel.
