Exxon Mobil Corporation is the world's leading publicly-owned energy company with a presence in some 200 countries and territories around the world. It is the parent company of the Esso, Mobil and ExxonMobil companies that operate in the United Kingdom.
We have an interest in nearly 60 producing offshore fields. Since first exploration in 1964 we have invested some £31 billion at today's prices in the UK's offshore oil and gas industry.
ExxonMobil has supplied the UK market with gas for over 30 years and is responsible for some 12% of the UK's total gas production. Most natural gas is supplied by pipeline but now new technologies and changing markets are encouraging the demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) which can be transported by ship
In the UK, ExxonMobil Chemical is one of the country's top 10 chemical companies in terms of turnover. We have manufacturing plants at Fawley near Southampton, at Fife in Scotland and at Newport in South Wales.
From maximising the recovery of crude oil and natural gas to developing cleaner fuels that reduce engine emissions and increase engine efficiency, new technology is helping us make best use of the world's natural resources.
