Our Business
The information below has been written to give you a broad overview of ExxonMobil in the United Kingdom. For a more indepth look, go to 'Want to know more?' on the right of this page.
 
In the United Kingdom, ExxonMobil is a major contributor to the economy:
  • In 2007, we invested over £502 million in our UK upstream, downstream and chemical operations
  • Our refinery at Fawley on Southampton Water is the largest in the UK, processing over 300,000 barrels of crude oil a day
  • We provided jobs for over 8,000 employees and around 1,400 contractors
  • We have an interest in nearly 60 producing oil and gas fields in the UK and hold the largest net licensed acreage on the UK continental shelf
  • We are responsible for 10 per cent of the UK's total oil and gas production
  • Each year, we pay around £5 billion in direct and indirect taxes and duties in the UK - about 1.1 per cent of the total UK government revenue. If the Chancellor had to find this money by other means, it would be equivalent to 1p on the basic rate of income tax
