据安讯斯能源11月2日消息称，埃克森美孚公司仍将重点放在碳氢化合物上，并计划在莫桑比克推进一个价值300亿美元的液化天然气项目。
埃克森美孚高级副总裁Neil Chapman在意大利北部城市维罗纳举行的一次会议上说：“我们与碳氢化合物打交道已经超过130年了……这是我们业务的核心部分，而且在很长一段时间内都将如此。”
Chapman发表评论之前，有报道称由于投资者呼吁化石燃料公司提高成本意识和绿色能源友好性，埃克森董事会质疑是否要继续推进几个大型油气项目。
Chapman表示：“是的，我们在董事会中进行了改革，但为股东制定清晰的战略是管理层的责任。” 他表示，埃克森美孚在石油和天然气方面的能力，将支持其转向正在研发的碳捕获和存储、氢和生物燃料等新技术。
“这是我们必须处理的速度问题，这需要一个灵活的战略，”他说。他说，随着石油和天然气需求在能源转型中下降，埃克森美孚认为，提供最低成本、最低排放的石油的公司会更好地服务世界。
Chapman表示，该集团没有改变在莫桑比克和越南投资数十亿美元天然气的计划。“我们现在还不知道(莫桑比克最终投资决定的)日期，但没有变化，美国媒体的报道是不正确的，”他补充说。

Chapman said the group had not changed its plans over multi-billion-dollar gas investments in Mozambique and Vietnam. "We don't know the date (for the Mozambique final investment decision) right now but there's no change and what was reported in the U.S. media was not correct," he added.
