ExxonMobil

After years of market shocks, technological breakthroughs, and rising uncertainty, ATCE 2026 will provide new insights on how industry leaders and technical experts are preparing for the next era of the upstream business.

In line with its recently released Global Outlook, the major has begun storing carbon dioxide from Nucor’s iron facility in Convent, Louisiana.

In a 2-1 vote, The Texas Railroad Commission approved the Rose carbon capture and storage project in Southeast Texas, which is planned to store up to 5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

The French major said it plans to fast-track the development of Acacia-5, expecting to increase production in Angola’s Block 17 by 6,000 B/D.

As digital technologies become commonplace, industry leaders say core engineering knowledge remains essential for making informed decisions and avoiding costly mistakes.

While equipment run life and reliability remain core concerns, experts say operators are increasingly turning to real-time surveillance and autonomous optimization to unlock new production gains.

The world produces vast volumes of carbon dioxide, and CO₂-EOR is one of the best-established techniques for increasing oil production. Despite this, its use remains limited because of economic, logistical, and operational challenges.

ExxonMobil and its Area 4 partners have awarded $1.1 billion in pre-investment contracts for long-lead upstream equipment supporting Mozambique's Rovuma LNG project. The awards, led by OneSubsea, mark a key step toward FID as development advances on ExxonMobil's largest global investment.

The firm's first-quarter rankings evaluate drilling performance across multiple measures, including total drilled measured depth.

ExxonMobil’s Letter of Intent to begin preliminary engineering and procurement work for Mozambique’s Rovuma LNG project bridges the development to a final EPC contract, which Area 4 partners are expected to award following an FID anticipated by year-end 2026.
