In the Q4 of 2018, ExxonMobil’s earnings totaled $6 billion. Capital and exploration expenditures were $8.5 billion, including key investments in the Permian Basin. In the same period of 2018, ExxonMobil’s expenditures were $7.8 billion.
Oil-equivalent production was in line with the Q4 of 2018, at 4 million barrels per day, with a 4 % increase in liquids offset by a 5 % decrease in gas.
“Our operations performed well, while short-term supply length in the downstream and chemicals businesses impacted margins and financial results,” said Darren Woods, CEO. “Growth in demand for the products that underpin our businesses remains strong.”
For the full year 2019, ExxonMobil’s earnings decreased by 31% totaling $14.3 billion when compared to 2018’s earnings of $20.8 billion.
Last week ExxonMobil increased its estimated recoverable resource base in Guyana to more than 8 billion oil equivalent barrels and made a further oil discovery northeast of the producing Liza field at the Uaru exploration well, the 16th discovery on the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.
The new estimate includes 15 discoveries offshore Guyana through year-end 2019 and the Uaru discovery is the 1st of 2020 and will be added to the resource estimate at a later date.
