Exxon CEO Darren Woods stated that the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election will not impact oil production levels in the short to medium term. He expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the "Drill, baby, drill" mantra, emphasizing that U.S. shale production is driven by market dynamics rather than political agendas. While there are untapped resources in areas like the Gulf of Mexico due to federal permitting, the majority of shale resources are on private land and regulated at the state level.
Exxon Mobil reported third-quarter earnings of $8.61 billion, or $1.92 per share, surpassing expectations of $1.88 per share, despite a 5% decline from the previous year.

This figure includes Exxon's stake in the Miro plant in Germany, which is also set for sale.
Chevron and Exxon Mobil Corp. exceeded analysts' profit expectations in the third quarter, driven by increased oil production from the Permian Basin, which helped mitigate the impact of declining crude prices. Chevron's profit surpassed estimates by 11 cents, while Exxon's exceeded expectations by a nickel, contrasting with mixed results from European competitors like Shell, TotalEnergies, and BP.
