ExxonMobil chairman and CEO Darren Woods said: “We delivered our second-highest 2Q earnings of the past decade as we continue to improve the fundamental earnings power of the company. We achieved record quarterly production from our low-cost-of-supply Permian and Guyana assets, with the highest oil production since the Exxon and Mobil merger.”
