得益于原油产量增加和炼油利润率改善， 埃克森美孚 的利润超出预期，成功抵消了原油价格下跌带来的冲击。
埃克森美孚第四季度调整后每股收益为1.71美元，比调查的平均预期高出2美分。随着公司扩大了在二叠纪盆地和圭亚那等核心地区的油气产量，其全年产量和炼油量均创下40年来的新高。尽管前景乐观，但由于油价和化工利润下降以及“与增长相关的成本”，公司全年利润还是下降了10%至301亿美元。
埃克森美孚今年的资本支出预计约为280亿美元，低于去年的290亿美元。
埃克森美孚位于得州的Golden Pass液化天然气出口设施预计将于今年年初投产，同时公司正推进莫桑比克的一个巨型天然气出口项目。这些承诺可能表明，埃克森美孚并无投资委内瑞拉的紧迫需求。CEO Woods表示，他对于向该国派驻团队分析机会持开放态度，但任何投资都必须是安全的并符合经济标准。
