IC&E Technician

About Us

At Exxon Mobil, our vision is to lead in energy innovations that advance modern living and a net‑zero future. As one of the world’s largest publicly traded energy and chemical companies, we are powered by a unique and diverse workforce fueled by pride in what we do and what we stand for.

Straddling West Texas and South‑East New Mexico, the Permian is the most prolific oil and gas basin in America and the engine behind the country’s energy renaissance. The merger of Exxon Mobil and Pioneer creates an Unconventional business with the largest, high‑return development potential in the Permian Basin. Our combined 1.4 million net acres in the Delaware and Midland basins have an estimated 16 billion barrels of oil equivalent resource.

In 2023, we produced an average of 612,000 barrels a day in the Permian Basin and aim to produce 1 million barrels per day by the end of 2027. We invest in infrastructure, and our Permian Strategic Partnership works to enhance the local community.
