据安迅斯能源8月6日消息称，埃克森美孚在2021年第二季度从二叠纪盆地获得了40万桶油当量的产量，该公司计划通过持续提高运营效率，在第三季度将产量增加4万桶油当量。
该公司高级副总裁Jack Williams表示，该公司目前的8台钻机的横向长度与两年前的25台钻机相同。
Williams在第二季度财报电话会议上表示:“完井情况也在改善。我们的压裂速度快了50%左右。这使得钻井和完井成本降低了40%以上。”
Williams表示，该公司仍然专注于资本效率，在“广泛的价格环境下”提供自由现金流，并在油价低于35美元/桶时获得两位数的回报。
埃克森美孚第二季度的炼油产量比上季度增加了3%，原因是德克萨斯州的冬季风暴中断了运营。燃料利润也有所增长，但由于市场持续供过于求，利润仍然很低。
这是埃克森美孚自关注气候变化的投资者获得该公司董事会3个席位以来的首次财报电话会议，这是迄今为止最强烈 的反对意见，石油公司必须开始转向低碳技术，迎接未来，并为化石燃料需求的大幅下降做好准备。
Woods表示，高管们与新董事会就制定能源转型新战略进行了富有成效的会议。他详细介绍了碳捕获项目、低排放燃料和甲烷检测技术的计划，但他对时间表持谨慎态度。
Woods表示，埃克森美孚预计明年将对其怀俄明州LaBarge CCS设施的扩建以及与鹿特丹港Porthos项目相关的一项新的碳捕捉技术试点项目做出最终投资决定。
该公司本月签署了一份谅解备忘录，探索帮助法国诺曼底地区工业盆地脱碳的基础设施，并签署了一份参与苏格兰Acorn CCS项目的谅解备忘录。

ExxonMobil to increase Permian output in Q3 2021
ExxonMobil pumped 400,000 b/d of oil equivalent from the Permian Basin in Q2 2021, which it aims to increase by 40,000 boe/d in Q3 through continued operating efficiencies.
Jack Williams, senior vice president, said the company's current eight rigs are drilling the same lateral length that it took 25 rigs two years ago.
"Completions are improving, too," Williams said during a Q2 earnings call. "Our frac rates are around 50% faster. This has resulted in a reduction in drilling and completion costs of more than 40%."
Williams said the producer remains focused align="justify"> ExxonMobil's Q2 refining throughput increased 3% from the previous quarter, when winter storms in Texas disrupted operations.

He detailed plans for carbon-capture projects, low-emission fuels and methane detection technologies, but he took a cautious tone about the timelines.
Woods said ExxonMobil expects to make final investment decisions next year for an expansion of its LaBarge CCS facility in Wyoming and a new carbon-capture technology pilot associated with the Porthos project at the port of Rotterdam.
The company signed a memorandum of understanding this month to explore infrastructure to help decarbonize the industrial basin in France's Normandy region and an MOU to participate in the Acorn CCS project in Scotland.
