About the location

The Permian Basin, straddling West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, is the most prolific oil and gas basin in America, providing about 40% of the nation’s oil and 15% of its gas production. ExxonMobil’s Permian Basin business unit accounts for about 40% of the Corporation’s net oil and gas production in the U.S., with production reaching over 550,000 barrels per day in 2022 and expected to surpass 800,000 barrels per day by 2027.

The Basin is a key asset for ExxonMobil’s net zero ambitions, being the first to unveil and execute a plan for net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in operated assets by 2030.

About 800 ExxonMobil employees work and live in Midland, Odessa, Carlsbad, and surrounding areas, offering easy access to national parks and outdoor recreational opportunities. The region also hosts the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which ExxonMobil has sponsored since 2019.

ExxonMobil invests in local community development through the Permian Strategic Partnership, enhancing infrastructure, healthcare, housing, education, and workforce development.
