ExxonMobil’s most successful year within a decade in terms of revenue was 2011, exceeding the previous year by almost 100 billion U.S. dollars. At the end of 2018, ExxonMobil had a market valuation of approximately 289 billion U.S. dollars. More than 71 thousand people were employed by ExxonMobil in 2018.
ExxonMobil is composed of three divisions: Upstream, Downstream, and Chemical. Upstream, which includes exploration and extraction, is by far the most important division. With approximately 14.1 billion U.S. dollars, it was responsible for around 68 percent of the company’s total net income in 2018. In the same year, ExxonMobil Upstream’s production output in oil equivalents was some 6.1 million barrels per day (liquids plus natural gas).
The company owns oil refineries all over the world, with a refining capacity of some 4.91 million barrels per day. That makes ExxonMobil one of the world’s top refiners. The company’s total proved reserves reach a total oil equivalent of more than 24 billion barrels. However, ExxonMobil owns less than one percent of the world’s total oil and gas reserves.
