Straddling West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, the Permian is the most prolific oil and gas basin in America and the engine behind the country’s energy renaissance. Nationally, it provides about 40% of oil and 15% of gas production and plays a critical role in making the U.S. a leading energy exporter.

The merger of Exxon Mobil and Pioneer creates an Unconventional business with the largest, high-return development potential in the Permian Basin. The combined company’s more than 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, on average 612,000 barrels a day in the Permian Basin, and we're aiming to produce 1 million barrels per day from our Permian assets by the end of 2027.

Investments in infrastructure from New Mexico to the Gulf Coast enhance logistics and integrated value. We've advanced gathering and processing facilities, including the Cowboy central delivery point. Integration maximizes resource development through to fuels, lubes, and chemicals. The Permian Basin business unit also has the distinction of being the first at Exxon Mobil to unveil and execute a plan for net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in operated assets by 2030, as part of the Corporation’s broader 2050 net zero ambition.

Over 1800 employees work and live in Midland, Odessa, Carlsbad, and the surrounding areas, all of which offer easy access to national parks and unrivaled outdoor recreational opportunities. Employees in the area also get to enjoy the world-renowned Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which Exxon Mobil has proudly sponsored since 2019. As a major operator in the Permian Basin, Exxon Mobil invests heavily in local community development through the Permian Strategic Partnership, an industry consortium that works to enhance quality of life by improving infrastructure, healthcare, housing, education and workforce development.
