History and Founding Exxon Mobil Corporation
Exxon Mobil Corporation traces its origins back to the founding of Standard Oil Company by John D. Rockefeller in 1870, recognized as one of the first oil industry giants.
In 1911, following antitrust rulings, Standard Oil was dissolved into several entities, including Exxon (formerly Standard Oil of New Jersey) and Mobil (Standard Oil of New York).
Over the decades, both companies experienced significant growth, expanding globally, investing in new technologies, and strengthening their presence in emerging markets.
In 1999, Exxon and Mobil merged to form Exxon Mobil Corporation, creating one of the world’s largest energy companies.
In the years following the merger, ExxonMobil heavily invested in research and development, explored new oil and gas reserves, and expanded its refining and distribution operations.
The company faced challenges such as oil price volatility and regulatory pressures but maintained its leadership position in the global energy sector.
Key milestones include the exploration of Brazil’s pre-salt reserves, the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects worldwide, and leadership in advanced deepwater exploration technologies.
Between 2020 and 2024, ExxonMobil has faced challenges related to the global energy transition, aiming to diversify its portfolio through investments in renewable energy.
The company has also focused on streamlining operations, reducing costs, and improving efficiency, in addition to investing in carbon capture and low-carbon fuels.
Today, Exxon Mobil Corporation remains a leading energy company, balancing its traditional exploration and refining operations with investments in sustainable energy solutions.
