Per EIA’s short term energy outlook, the global crude oil demand is likely to grow during the latter half of the year and benchmark crude oil prices (WTI) are expected to remain under $40 per barrel. Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM), one of the largest integrated oil & gas companies in the world, would lose $70 billion in annual revenues from lower production and weak commodity prices as highlighted in our interactive dashboard about Exxon Mobil’s Revenues. Despite the expected revenues declines, the company announced a dividend of $0.87 per share for the second quarter. While the company raised $12 billion in debt to improve liquidity, it is targeting a 15% reduction in operating expenditures along with a 30% lower capex in 2020 to preserve shareholder value.

  • In 2019, Exxon Mobil produced 2,386 MBD of crude oil and natural gas liquids with a fairly equal contribution of 30% from both Asia and the U.S.
  • The average production cost per barrel of oil equivalent in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Africa was $12.25, $13.69, $7.34, and $17.51, respectively.
  • With the benchmark prices (WTI) likely to remain under $40 in the foreseeable future, the company will likely curtail production in the U.S., Europe, and Africa.
  • While mandatory production cuts have not been imposed in the U.S., the 30% reduction in capital expenditure plan and a sizable decline in rig count (75%) in Permian is likely to trim production by at least 10%.
