ON THE COVER

ExxonMobil is uniquely positioned in the industry due to the depth and breadth of our technical and operational capabilities in our Upstream, Downstream, and Chemical businesses. We have a world-class portfolio of Upstream projects, including the East Area NGL II project in Nigeria (top left). Through the use of ExxonMobil technology, we have been able to increase the size of liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships, such as the Q-Flex LNG ship (center right), and significantly reduce shipping costs. Our Downstream portfolio includes world-class facilities with significant conversion capacity — for example, the delayed coker at our Baytown, Texas, refinery (center left) — that allow us to upgrade heavy crudes into higher-value products. ExxonMobil’s integrated chemical plant in Singapore (lower right) will be expanded through the addition of a second world-scale ethylene steam cracker and derivative units to meet the growing demand for products in Asia.

Business Strategies

ExxonMobil’s fundamental business strategies are key to achieving sustained, outstanding performance in all aspects of our business. Consistency, integrity, discipline, reliability, and ingenuity provide the foundation for our business processes. ExxonMobil is able to meet the challenge of providing reliable, affordable energy in a responsible manner through the superior execution of our business strategies.

OPERATE IN A SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER

ExxonMobil’s commitment to safety begins with our senior management and is a core value held by our employees around the world. Our corporate culture drives us toward our goal of an incident-free workplace.

We conduct business in a manner that is compatible with the environmental and economic needs of the communities in which we operate. ExxonMobil is committed to continuous improvement in environmental performance with the goal of driving incidents with real environmental impact to zero.

UPHOLD HIGH STANDARDS

ExxonMobil adheres to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations as a minimum standard, and, when requirements do not exist, we apply responsible standards to our operations.

How we achieve results is as important as the results themselves. We choose the course of highest integrity in all of our business interactions. We believe that a well-founded reputation for high ethical standards, strong business controls, and good corporate governance is a priceless corporate asset.

Directors, officers, and employees must comply with our Standards of Business Conduct. This requirement is regularly reinforced by management.

PURSUE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Flawless operational performance is enabled through the use of management systems that ensure consistency and the development of best practices.

ExxonMobil has developed a wide range of management and operating systems that cover critical aspects of our business, including: ethics, safety, security, health, environmental performance, operations reliability, business controls, project investment and execution, energy efficiency, profit improvement, and external affairs. The disciplined application of these management and operating systems, deployed through our functional organization, has consistently delivered superior results.

INVEST WITH DISCIPLINE

The energy industry is a long-term business that requires decisions to be made with a time horizon that is measured in decades rather than months or years. We have a responsibility to our shareholders to ensure that each investment decision is made using a disciplined approach.

Our proven project management system incorporates best practices developed around the world. Emphasis on the early phases of concept selection and project execution results in investments that maximize resource and asset value.

Projects are tested over a range of economic scenarios to ensure that they are robust in a variety of business environments. Post investment, we complete a rigorous appraisal of major projects and incorporate learnings into future project planning and design. This approach ensures superior investment returns throughout the business cycle.

DIFFERENTIATE WITH PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

Technology is and will remain key to meeting the world’s growing energy demand. Technological innovations allow the identification and economic development of challenged resources, optimization of operating unit performance, and development of high-performance products.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 5

ExxonMobil has a long-standing commitment to the development of innovative proprietary technology. We have a wide array of research programs designed to meet the needs identified in our functional businesses. Over the past five years, we have invested about $3.5 billion in research and development. As new technologies are developed, our global functional organization enables rapid deployment and value capture.

OPTIMIZE RESULTS THROUGH FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY AND INTEGRATION

ExxonMobil’s business portfolio and level of global integration are unique in the industry. Our portfolio of assets provides advantages in scale, geographic diversity, and business mix, and mitigates risks that arise from changes in commodity prices and business cycles.

We are able to capture value through superior opportunity identification, implementation of best practices, advantaged technology, and operational optimization. The combination of our global scale and integration across our businesses gives ExxonMobil a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate.

INCREASE EFFICIENCY THROUGH OUR GLOBAL FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION

ExxonMobil’s global functional organization is integral to our ongoing success. It drives senior management involvement in all major decisions and ensures that our business processes are consistent with our strategic goals. Our structure enables effective transfer of knowledge, demonstrated by our ability to rapidly deploy people and technology to support business activities around the world.

ATTRACT AND RETAIN EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE

Delivering outstanding performance requires exceptional people. The quality of our workforce is a competitive advantage. We focus on merit-based, long-term career development for our employees. ExxonMobil is committed to maintaining a diverse workforce and a supportive work environment that is characterized by open communication, trust, and fair treatment. We recruit talented people from around the world and provide them with formal training and a broad range of experiences to develop them into the next generation of company leaders.

ENHANCE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

ExxonMobil believes in creating a positive and lasting social impact in the countries in which we operate. Our operations strengthen economic growth through investment, employment, and the purchase of local goods and services.

We focus on supporting community programs that reduce barriers to development. These strategic community investment activities include enhancing health conditions, improving education, and providing increased opportunities for women and girls. These investments help to alleviate poverty, promote social progress, and increase economic growth.

This business strategy benefits the communities in which we operate and helps ensure a sustainable operating environment for our business.

MAINTAIN FINANCIAL STRENGTH

ExxonMobil’s financial position remains unparalleled within our industry and when compared to nearly every company in the world. Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s recognize our superior financial strength by assigning the highest credit rating to our financial obligations. ExxonMobil is one of very few public companies that has maintained the highest credit rating over the past several decades.

Our financial strength gives us the flexibility to pursue and finance attractive investment opportunities around the world. Host governments and project partners recognize our unique position and benefit from the financial strength and expertise we bring to the development of resources. This competitive advantage translates into superior returns for ExxonMobil’s shareholders.

Shareholder Information

ExxonMobil’s core objective is to deliver long-term growth in shareholder value. Over the past five years, we have distributed nearly $118 billion to our shareholders through quarterly dividend payments and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding. In 2007 our total shareholder distributions were $36 billion, including $28 billion of share purchases.

In 2007 ExxonMobil raised annual dividends to our shareholders to $1.37 per share, an increase of 7 percent versus the previous year. We have paid a dividend each year for more than a century and have increased annual dividends per share in each of the last 25 years.

ExxonMobil reduced the number of shares outstanding by 20 percent over the last five years through our flexible share purchase program. Reducing shares outstanding increases the percent ownership of the company that each remaining share represents and contributes to increased earnings and cash flow per share.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 7

Safety, Health & Environment

ExxonMobil is committed to high standards of safety, security, health, and environmental care. We continue to deliver results that demonstrate our commitment.

2007 HIGHLIGHTS

§		Best-ever lost-time incident rate for our combined employee and contractor workforce

§		Best-ever energy efficiency in refining and chemical operations

§		Greater than 15 percent reduction in spills from 2006

§		No spills from company-operated marine vessels

§		Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

GUIDING PRINCIPLE

ExxonMobil complies with all applicable laws and regulations, and when laws and regulations do not exist, we apply responsible standards. We aim to drive the number of injuries, illnesses, and incidents with real environmental impact to zero. Our initiatives are supported by ongoing technology programs that include internal and external work by leading scientists. We believe ExxonMobil’s overarching commitment to achieving superior performance in safety, health, and the environment is closely linked to and reflected in the outstanding performance of all other aspects of our business. We manufacture essential commodities in a manner that preserves and protects health and safety and safeguards the environment.

Safety, health, and environmental risk is managed within a company-wide framework that we call OIMS — our Operations Integrity Management System. OIMS provides us with a disciplined, structured, and global approach to managing these risks. Because the system is used in our businesses and facilities worldwide, it enables us to measure progress and ensure management accountability for results in these areas. ExxonMobil developed OIMS more than 15 years ago, and it has been strengthened through several cycles of improvement. In 2003, among other changes, the security requirements were enhanced and a globally consistent environmental planning process was added. In 2007 OIMS was refined to extend expectations to include all office workers. We are pleased that in 2007, Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance recognized OIMS as meeting all of the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series for health and safety management systems (OHSAS 18001:1999), in addition to the International Organization for Standardization’s specification for environmental management systems (ISO 14001:2004).

RISK MANAGEMENT

We recognize that risks are inherent in our business and we take a disciplined, systematic approach to reducing these risks. The same rigor and discipline that underpin our investment programs are also used in our approach to managing our ongoing operations in the areas of safety, security, health, and the environment.

Our approach includes great emphasis on business continuity planning and emergency preparedness to enable timely and effective response to incidents. In 2007 we conducted six major regional emergency response drills in locations including Malaysia, Cyprus, Sakhalin Island in Russia, Bermuda, the Gulf of Mexico, and California. In addition, we conducted drills and workshops worldwide to validate the readiness of ExxonMobil affiliates to address a potential influenza pandemic.

8 EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW

SAFETY AND HEALTH

At ExxonMobil, safety and health in the workplace is a top priority. Based on careful analysis of incidents and risks, we continuously work to improve the safety and health of our employees and contractors. Since 2000 we have reduced our workforce lost-time incidents by an average of over 15 percent per year, and we are continuing that trend. We will not be satisfied until we have achieved a work environment in which Nobody Gets Hurt.

ExxonMobil maintains an active commitment to the communities in which we work. We believe that self-sustaining improvements in public health are a key enabler for broader economic and social gains. We incorporate workforce and community health considerations into project planning. The DeKastri Hospital was one of the hospitals that was upgraded as a result of the Sakhalin-1 community-based needs assessment. The DeKastri Hospital is now a preferred referral center for managing local medical emergencies in Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Far East.

The DeKastri Hospital is one of the hospitals that was upgraded to manage medical and surgical emergencies within the community.

ENVIRONMENT

ExxonMobil is committed to achieving excellent environmental performance in each of our businesses to Protect Tomorrow. Today. We aim to implement scientifically sound, practical solutions that consider environmental imperatives and the economic needs of the communities in which we operate. We have a clear set of expectations to guide our environmental practices. In addition to the consistent use of OIMS and careful adherence to all applicable laws and regulations, our business functions are expected to:

Deliver superior environmental performance, which will lead to competitive advantage;

Continually improve performance and drive incidents with real environmental impact to zero; and,

Achieve industry leadership in key environmental performance areas.

Our Corporate Environmental Aspects Guide enables comprehensive identification and risk-based assessment of environmental impacts. It provides consistent guidance to our operating facilities and design groups to identify and manage environmental risks — both episodic and cumulative risks.

Our Environmental Business Planning (EBP) process, contained within OIMS, is used by our businesses to update environmental targets and to establish improvement plans. The EBP process helps our businesses integrate environmental improvement efforts, such as spill prevention, efficiency improvements, and emissions reductions, into both routine operations and the design of new facilities.

Guided by our EBP process, we continue to take action to reduce emissions and to minimize our environmental footprint in sensitive locations.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 9

Through actions taken in 2006 and 2007, we reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by about 5 million metric tons in 2007. Additionally we saved about $900 million in energy costs through improvements identified by our Global Energy Management System (GEMS). Our Baton Rouge Refinery was presented the EnergyStar Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in recognition of the facility’s industry-leading improvements in energy-efficient operations.

ExxonMobil is an industry leader in the use of cogeneration, a highly efficient way to generate power and steam. With facilities under construction around the world, we expect to have interests in cogeneration capacity of over 5000 megawatts in the next three years. We continue to find innovation opportunities in cogeneration applications. For example, our cogeneration project in Antwerp, Belgium, will have the ability to directly integrate heat with one of the processes in the refinery, a development that will make it unique in the industry for a large-scale project. The Antwerp cogeneration project is on schedule to start up in 2008.

ExxonMobil recognizes that rising GHG emissions pose a risk to society and ecosystems. In addition to the activities described above, we are committed to the development of technology to reduce GHG emissions:

§		ExxonMobil is a founding sponsor of the Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) at Stanford University, a pioneering research effort to identify breakthrough low-GHG energy technologies.

§		In 2007 we announced the development of new film technologies for lithium-ion batteries. This technology has the potential to significantly enhance lithium-ion battery power, safety, and reliability, thereby helping to speed the adoption of these smaller and lighter batteries into the next wave of lower-emission vehicles.

§		In conjunction with our partners, we are progressing plans to commercialize an on-vehicle hydrogen production system in a fuel-cell-powered forklift. This application uses ExxonMobil technology that has the long-term potential to be up to 80 percent more fuel efficient than today’s internal combustion engines and reduce CO² emissions by up to 45 percent.

§		We have partnered with the European Commission and others in the CO²ReMoVe project to assess the viability of geological carbon storage. Over the next few years, this project will evaluate a range of technologies to monitor the injection and storage of CO² from gas streams at the offshore Sleipner and Snohvit fields in Norway. ExxonMobil shares ownership of the Sleipner field, where over 1 million metric tons of CO² have been sequestered each year since 1998.

LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

The Steller’s sea eagle (“Orlan” in Russian) is included in the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources’ Red List of threatened species and is protected under the Convention on Migratory Species. These birds make their home in far eastern Russia. Today, approximately 6000 of these beautiful and graceful birds survive. Their numbers are threatened by a host of diverse factors including increased predatory activity by the brown bear.

ExxonMobil is deeply involved in efforts to preserve and increase the number of Steller’s sea eagles. As part of the Sakhalin-1 project development, we created buffer zones around the eagles’ nests to prevent encroachment by people and machinery. On advice from Russian conservation experts, the route of a pipeline was altered to be farther from the eagles’ nesting sites. Additionally, a series of innovative actions has been taken in the Steller’s sea eagle population support program. These actions include building artificial nests and perches in the surrounding area to encourage the sea eagles to continue living in their historical territories. Metal coverings specially designed to look like tree bark have been used to cover the trunks of trees containing nests, making them more difficult to climb, thus deterring brown bear predators.

Over time these efforts are expected to result in an increase in the number of these majestic birds that are the namesake for the Sakhalin-1 oil platform, Orlan.

ExxonMobil developed the Chayvo facility with buffer zones to provide protected habitats for the Steller’s sea eagles that live in the area.

The Outlook for Energy – A View to 2030

Our outlook is focused on the world’s rising energy needs and how we expect these needs to be met. Providing this energy is not easy or automatic. The challenges reflect the global scope of the task, as well as substantial objectives related to economic development, energy security, and the environment.

The Outlook for Energy summarizes ExxonMobil’s projections for global energy demand and supply through 2030. The outlook is developed annually, the result of an ongoing process that has been conducted for decades. The results are used to assist our business planning and to increase public understanding of the world’s energy needs and challenges.

PROGRESS DRIVES A GROWING NEED FOR ENERGY

The world’s economy runs on energy. Future energy use will be driven by a growing global population that continues to advance and seek better living standards. Global economic output, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is likely to increase by close to 3 percent annually through 2030, similar to historical trends.

While growing, the global economy is becoming more energy efficient. Energy intensity — the amount of energy used per unit of economic output — has improved significantly over the past 25 years. The rate of improvement is likely to increase as advanced technologies are developed and deployed. As a result, energy intensity in 2030 will be almost 50 percent below the level in 1980.

Global energy demand — expressed in millions of oil-equivalent barrels per day — is expected to increase by an average of 1.3 percent per year from 2005 to 2030, even with significant efficiency gains. The vast majority of the demand increase will be in developing countries, where economies are growing most rapidly and modern energy supplies are still a precious commodity for millions of people. While the use of alternative fuels will continue to grow, oil, natural gas, and coal will remain the primary sources of energy throughout the outlook period.

POWER GENERATION AND GROWING ELECTRICITY DEMANDS

The largest end-use sector today, and the one with the greatest volume growth going forward, is power generation. Both economic development and rising prosperity drive the demand for electricity.

The linkage between electricity demand and economic progress is evident when considering electricity use relative to GDP per capita in countries around the world. For example, per capita electricity use in the United States is close to seven times that of China. This difference reflects the fact that as economies grow and incomes rise, per-capita electricity use increases to serve an expanding variety of needs, from appliances and air conditioning in homes to commercial office equipment and the manufacture of goods.

As developing countries become more prosperous and billions of people move up the economic curve, demand for electricity will increase significantly. By 2030 electricity use in the non-OECD countries will increase by about 70 percent on a per capita basis, and more than double overall.

Meeting this demand will require strong growth in fuel supplies for power generation. The particular mix of energy sources used by countries around the world is highly dependent on economics, the availability of local supplies, and public policies.

Total power generation in the OECD countries is expected to grow only about 1 percent per year to 2030. Growth will be

OECD — Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 19

led by less CO₂-intensive fuels. The share of power generation from coal is expected to decline from 40 percent to 30 percent, while nuclear power and natural gas will each gain a considerable share of the mix. Renewable fuels usage will grow most rapidly, but from a small base.

In the non-OECD countries, total power generation demand is expected to increase more than twice as fast as in the OECD countries. Coal demand will rise substantially and retain close to a 50 percent share of total input fuel. Increases in natural gas demand will be led by Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Nuclear power and renewable fuels usage will grow most rapidly.

On a global basis, coal will remain the largest source of power through the outlook period, comprising approximately40 percent of total input fuels in 2030. While more efficient technologies and cleaner fuels will continue to penetrate the power generation sector, coal’s predominance will continue to have significant implications for overall CO₂ emissions.

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND EXPANDING

The fastest growing sector — and the one most important to oil demand — is transportation, which includes road vehicles, ships, trains, and airplanes.

Transportation is an essential part of today’s world — whether aiding the provision of goods and services or getting people to local or distant destinations. Global economic progress, increasing populations, and rising individual prosperity will remain strong drivers of transportation demand.

These drivers of transportation demand are readily apparent when considering the outlooks for the OECD and non-OECD countries, which illustrate significantly different trends in demand. The OECD countries, with relatively modest population and economic growth, are moving toward a plateau in transportation demand with overall growth of 0.6 percent per year on average from 2005 to 2030. This view is underpinned by an expected decline in fuel demand for light-duty vehicles (e.g., cars, SUVs) in the latter years. In contrast,

20 EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW

fuel consumption by heavy-duty vehicles (e.g., trucks) will increase by approximately 1.7 percent per year while other transportation segments (e.g., aviation, marine, and rail) will increase approximately 1.2 percent per year on average.

In the non-OECD countries, transportation fuel demand is likely to climb steadily at approximately 3 percent per year, or about five times faster than the OECD countries. All transportation sectors will increase significantly, reflecting faster economic and population growth, and rising personal incomes.

A segment of particular focus is light-duty vehicles. As of 2005, there were about 700 million light-duty vehicles worldwide with close to 80 percent in the OECD countries. The United States is predominant with approximately one-third of the global total, and more light-duty vehicles than all of the non-OECD countries combined. However, as economic prosperity expands in the non-OECD countries, vehicle ownership in these nations will rise dramatically.

As the number of vehicles continues to rise, energy efficiency will become increasingly important. Significant gains are expected to come from evolutionary changes to conventional engine technologies, along with market penetration of advanced vehicle technologies.

LIQUIDS SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Meeting the growing need for affordable, reliable energy supplies remains a tremendous challenge. Access to resources, ongoing investments, and transparent energy markets, including international trade, are critical.

Liquid fuel, principally oil, is the most widely used source of energy today. Oil is widely available, easy to transport, and economical. Demand is expected to increase from 86 million oil-equivalent barrels per day today to 116 million oil-equivalent barrels per day in 2030. Demand will be met by a variety of sources.

Crude and condensate from the non-OPEC countries make up the largest supply source today. These supplies are likely to have a long plateau with a modest downturn after 2020.

Canadian heavy oil output will grow rapidly, both from mining and in situ developments. Supplies are expected to increase from 1 million barrels per day in 2005 to more than 4 million barrels per day in 2030.

Natural gas liquids (NGL) will increase as gas supplies grow. OPEC condensate will add more than 1 million barrels per day, reaching over 3 million barrels per day in 2030. Other supplies will include gas to liquids, increasing to about 1 million barrels per day, and coal to liquids, which will contribute modestly through demonstration plants. Refinery processing gains will also add to increased supplies.

Biofuel supplies, primarily ethanol from corn and sugar cane, are likely to average close to 8 percent annual growth over the period. From a small base today, supplies are likely to reach approximately 3 million oil-equivalent barrels per day in 2030, or 3 percent of global liquids demand.

OPEC crude supply is expected to rise from about 30 million barrels per day today to 45 to 50 million barrels per day by 2030. Timely investments will remain vital to providing reliable, affordable supplies.

GAS SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Natural gas will continue to expand its reach as a reliable, affordable source of energy. Power generation is the sector with the most significant growth in natural gas demand at approximately 2 percent per year. Residential, commercial, and industrial uses are also important with demand expected to grow close to 1.5 percent per year on average through 2030.

Demand will increase in North America, Europe, and, most significantly, the Asia Pacific region. International trade, via long pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, will play a critical role in meeting these growing needs. While each region’s gas supply-demand outlook is unique, they share a growing need for LNG. To help meet these demands, supplies are expected to increase significantly from the Middle East, Africa, and Australia over the outlook period.

GLOBAL ENERGY IN PERSPECTIVE

In assessing the global energy future, it is important to recognize the expected contribution of all primary energy sources. Oil consumption, driven by transportation and industrial demand, will likely increase at 1.2 percent per year. Gas consumption is expected to grow at 1.7 percent per year, largely due to increasing demand for power generation from efficient fuels with relatively low carbon intensity. Demand for coal, which has high carbon intensity, is likely to rise less than 1 percent per year. Nuclear power is expected to grow significantly, particularly after 2020.

Renewable fuels will also gain share, with a growth rate of 1.5 percent per year expected overall. Most of this segment is made up of traditional biomass (e.g., wood, charcoal, dung), hydroelectric, and geothermal energy. Relatively modest growth is expected for these traditional renewables.

In contrast, “modern” renewables, specifically wind, solar, and biofuels, are likely to grow rapidly, at about 9 percent per year on average, supported by government subsidies and mandates. These energy sources currently represent about 0.5 percent of world energy and are expected to reach approximately 2 percent by 2030.

GROWING ENERGY DEMAND AND CO₂ EMISSIONS

In the OECD countries, total energy demand growth is expected to be relatively modest at 0.5 percent per year, with the share of coal shrinking. As a result, energy-related CO₂ emissions in the OECD countries are likely to be almost flat to 2030. Growth that occurs in energy demand is expected to be offset by a decrease in the overall carbon intensity of energy use.

In the non-OECD countries, by comparison, much stronger growth in energy demand is expected. With significant increases in all fossil fuels, energy-related CO₂ emissions are expected to rise by almost 2 percent per year.

Global energy-related CO₂ emissions are likely to increase 1.2 percent per year on average, with the non-OECD countries representing close to 95 percent of the annual growth over the outlook period.

A variety of options exist to mitigate CO₂ emissions, but each option has a cost that is ultimately borne by consumers. Effectively addressing this issue requires a thorough understanding of the scale, cost, and trade-offs involved.

CONCLUSIONS

We draw three key conclusions from our outlook.

§		Economic progress will drive energy demand significantly higher by 2030, up nearly 40 percent versus 2005, even with substantial gains in efficiency. This growth will be concentrated in the non-OECD countries, where economies are growing rapidly and where billions of people require access to growing quantities of energy to improve their quality of life.

§		Oil, gas, and coal will be indispensable to meet the demand for reliable, affordable energy for the foreseeable future. Since renewable fuels start from a small base, even with rapid growth, they will not significantly alter the global energy mix over the outlook period. Fossil fuels are expected to continue to provide about 80 percent of energy in 2030.

§		Significantly impacting global CO₂ emissions growth will require the combination of many challenging and essential elements, including global participation, step changes in energy efficiency, significant technology gains, and massive investment over decades.

Our approach to addressing these challenges is pragmatic, with a long-term perspective. We remain committed to finding practical, broad-based solutions that will help ensure reliable, affordable energy for people around the world.

Technology

ExxonMobil effectively develops and globally deploys proprietary technology. Our research efforts encompass all of our functional businesses: Upstream, Downstream, and Chemical.

UPSTREAM TECHNOLOGY

ExxonMobil is committed to investing in a broad range of proprietary technologies that provide a competitive advantage in exploration, field development, hydrocarbon recovery, and production operations.

Integrated Source Prediction

A prerequisite for successful exploration is the presence of organic-rich source rocks that generate oil and gas. ExxonMobil has developed technologies that accurately predict the distribution and quality of ancient source rocks to improve the identification of new exploration opportunities. Our integrated work processes and tools incorporate an understanding of complex paleo-environmental factors to make probabilistic predictions of potential source rocks. We have applied this Integrated Source Prediction workflow in opportunity identification and acreage capture efforts in Libya, Canada, Madagascar, Ireland, and New Zealand.

Colored dye highlights the flow of water and sediment in a laboratory measurement of deposition processes.

Our proprietary workflow combines complex paleo-environmental factors with biological, physical, and chemical processes to predict source rock potential.

Award-Winning Research

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) presented its prestigious 2007 Distinguished Achievement Award to ExxonMobil for “the first substantial test of controlled source electromagnetics for direct hydrocarbon indication.” The award recognizes ExxonMobil for contributions that “substantially advanced the science of exploration geophysics.” Our research led to the development of the R³M method, which is used today to reduce exploration risk in drilling programs around the globe.

Accurate Reservoir Prediction

ExxonMobil maintains an industry-leading capability for gaining new insights into the development and spatial distribution of sedimentary formations. Using two state-of-the-art sedimentology flume tanks, we make observations and measurements that demonstrate how deltaic and deepwater systems form over time. These direct observations improve our ability to predict the distribution of permeability in reservoirs and provide data to validate our unique process-based numerical modeling methods. These tools allow us to build geologic models based on the fundamental principles of sediment transport and deposition. Our work in this area has led to significantly improved reservoir modeling and more accurate performance prediction.

Enhanced Recovery and Processing of Heavy Oil

ExxonMobil is pursuing a broad range of research activities to improve the efficiency of heavy oil recovery and processing. Our research program includes developing proprietary in situ recovery processes, enhancing surface-related technologies to improve the economics of mining operations, and improving upgrading technologies to increase the value of heavy oil and aid in its transport. These new technologies will help ExxonMobil develop a current heavy oil and oil sands resource base of nearly 15 billion barrels and gain access to new global opportunities.

Our research for in situ heavy oil recovery includes innovative processes to improve economic recovery in existing thermal heavy oil developments as well as novel, proprietary processes to unlock resources that are currently uneconomic. One research product is our Liquids Addition to Steam for Enhanced Recovery (LASER) process, jointly developed with Imperial Oil Limited. This process involves co-injecting solvent with steam, and builds on the success and experience of our Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) process. A staged approach of scaled laboratory experiments, reservoir modeling, and field testing has confirmed that LASER significantly improves recovery relative to CSS alone. We performed the first commercial application of LASER in 2007 and plan to expand its use.

Research in mining and upgrading operations for bitumen recovery addresses the economic challenge of processing up to two tons of oil sands to produce a single barrel of clean bitumen. To produce the clean bitumen, ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil Limited have jointly developed a High-Temperature Paraffinic Froth Treatment (HTPFT) process, which removes tightly bound water and fine solids. HTPFT will be applied in the Kearl development in northern Alberta, Canada.

Once produced, bitumen must typically be upgraded or diluted in order to transport it to refineries for further processing. ExxonMobil is developing novel methods using proprietary catalysts and processes to improve the quality of produced bitumen, thereby increasing its value and facilitating transportation.

Technical Training

The mission of ExxonMobil’s Upstream technical training effort is to develop the industry’s premier technical workforce. Our technical curriculum, comprising 200 courses, covers a variety of disciplines, including engineering, geoscience, technical computing, project management, commercial operations, and safety. In 2007 over 7000 students attended 375 training sessions. A distinguishing feature of the program is that 85 percent of the 550 instructors are ExxonMobil employees. By using our own instructors, we incorporate proprietary technology and deliver research results to the functional businesses. In addition, students get to know company experts and build personal networks they can rely on throughout their careers. We continually assess and improve the effectiveness of our training and develop new courses to meet emerging needs.

Flexible Well Completion Method

ExxonMobil drills and produces hydrocarbons from wells in increasingly remote and hostile environments, including deepwater, arctic, and high pressure/high temperature reservoirs. The well completion (the interface between the reservoir and the well) must perform reliably in these challenging conditions, sometimes for 20 years or longer. We have developed state-of-the-art analytical capabilities that accurately predict the ability of a well to produce at required flow rates and, at the same time, control sand, water, and gas production. As a result, we are able to design and employ simple, yet robust, well completions with self-activated subsurface controls that adapt to changing production environments. This distinguishing combination of technologies can be used in a wide range of well completions and has been successfully applied to extended-reach wells in the Sakhalin-1 Chayvo field in Russia.

Flexible Well Completion design enables self-activated control of unwanted sand and fluid inflow into the well.

Shared Earth Environment

The Shared Earth Environment is one component of the work ExxonMobil has under way to achieve breakthrough performance in subsurface interpretation. The primary objective of this initiative is to create a common visual environment and tools that interdisciplinary teams of geoscientists and engineers can use to rapidly visualize, integrate, and analyze relevant technical data. The improved integration and collaboration enabled by the Shared Earth Environment will enhance work efficiency, improve business decisions through more effective communication and analysis, and increase resource recovery through opportunity identification and optimized development plans.

3D models of subsurface oil and gas reservoirs used in field development planning integrate geoscience interpretations and engineering predictions.

Flow Line Integrity

ExxonMobil uses laboratory experiments coupled with advanced analytical techniques to predict and prevent corrosion in flow lines that gather oil and gas production. In our Materials & Corrosion Laboratory, we accurately reproduce field conditions with unique test equipment. Modern surface measurement techniques gather data, and statistical analysis tools estimate corrosion rates over time. These results are used to calibrate a proprietary corrosion model, called CorrCast, which predicts corrosion over the full range of flow line operating conditions. Using CorrCast predictions, we can implement designs and operating practices for corrosion control to assure flow line integrity.

ExxonMobil scientists analyze corrosion using an interferometric microscope.

Effective Sour Gas Processing

ExxonMobil’s CFZ technology is being developed for potential application at sour gas fields where high concentrations of CO₂ and H₂S create challenges for economic recovery of methane. By reducing processing equipment and resulting costs, the CFZ process can facilitate commercial development of these gas resources. The CFZ process differs from conventional separation methods by cryogenically removing both CO₂ and H₂S in a controlled manner and using a simpler distillation process to purify the methane and remove the unwanted compounds. These improvements are particularly significant when integrated with reservoir injection of the acidic CO₂ and H₂S by-products, since they are produced as a high-pressure liquid that requires less power and equipment for subsequent injection. Efforts are under way to build a CFZ commercial demonstration plant at ExxonMobil’s LaBarge facility in Wyoming.

CFZ is a cryogenic process for the single-step removal of CO₂ and H₂S from natural gas.

Reservoir Simulation Advances

ExxonMobil’s industry-leading reservoir simulator, EMpower, takes advantage of the latest developments in multiple-CPU desktop computers. The EMpower simulator’s advanced parallel computing algorithms determine the optimal way to divide a reservoir model into multiple calculation regions, each of which is simultaneously modeled on a separate CPU. This parallel processing method allows significant reductions in the time required to simulate reservoir fluid flow processes. The faster computing times enable our teams to tackle more complex problems, such as modeling super-giant fields with hundreds of wells, simultaneously modeling multiple fields that share processing facilities and platforms, or using advanced optimization mathematics to identify development plans that maximize economic recovery.

The EMpower simulator optimally divides a reservoir model into multiple calculation regions to make the most effective use of multiple-CPU desktop computers.

Innovative Concepts for Oil Shale Recovery

Oil shale represents a significant unconventional hydrocarbon resource, with estimates of the total volume of oil-in-place exceeding 1.5 trillion equivalent barrels in the United States alone. ExxonMobil is pursuing multiple concepts for commercializing oil shale, and our leading candidate technology is the Electrofrac process for in situ oil shale conversion. This process has the potential to provide cost-effective recovery in deep, thick formations with less surface disturbance than other proposed methods.

The Electrofrac process is designed to heat oil shale in situ by creating hydraulic fractures in the oil shale and filling the fractures with an electrically conductive material. Electricity is conducted from one end of the fracture to the other, making the fracture a resistive heating element. Heat flows from the fracture into the oil shale formation, gradually converting the oil shale’s solid organic matter into oil and gas. The oil and gas are then produced by conventional methods.

Results from laboratory experiments and numerical modeling have been encouraging, and field tests have been initiated to test Electrofrac process elements on a larger scale. Many years of research and development may be required to demonstrate the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of this breakthrough technology.

The Electrofrac process could potentially be used for the subsurface conversion of oil shale into producible hydrocarbons.

Capitalize on Growing Natural Gas and Power Markets

Growth in world gas and power demand combined with ExxonMobil’s global reach provides a strong platform to maximize the value of our gas, natural gas liquids, and power operations. Our sales and development activities extend to almost all major and developing markets. ExxonMobil sells about 11 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to customers in a variety of sectors including power companies and industrial users. We also manage about 1 million barrels per day of natural gas liquids, generate a significant amount of power, and are an important marketer of helium.

With global gas demand growing and existing local supplies declining in many areas of the world, the development of new resources is key to the continued supply of the world’s gas requirements.

In North America, ExxonMobil is a major gas producer and processor with production from the Gulf of Mexico, the onshore Gulf Coast, the mid-continent United States, western Canada, and offshore eastern Canada. We continue to expand production of our significant tight gas resources in the Piceance Basin in Colorado. ExxonMobil has a leading position in arctic gas resources in the Mackenzie Delta region of northern Canada and on the North Slope of Alaska.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) will play a greater role in our activities in the United States as we complete construction of the Golden Pass LNG regasification terminal in Texas and seek to permit a new terminal offshore New Jersey.

In addition to natural gas, our Shute Creek plant in Wyoming is one of the world’s leading sources of helium.

ExxonMobil is a leading gas producer in Europe through ownership in many key assets in the Netherlands, Germany, and the North Sea. Natural gas demand in Europe continues to grow while local production is expected to begin declining in the next few years, creating the need for new supplies. To help meet this need, ExxonMobil and our partners are developing new resources, such as the Ormen Lange field offshore Norway, and are nearing completion of LNG import terminals in the United Kingdom and Italy. Both the South Hook terminal in Milford Haven, Wales, and the Adriatic terminal offshore Italy are expected to be operational in 2008.

ExxonMobil remains among the largest suppliers of natural gas in Australia and Malaysia and also sells gas in Thailand, Russia Far East, Qatar, and elsewhere. Our LNG ventures provide significant volumes of gas to key Asian markets, including Japan, South Korea, India, and Taiwan.

A major strength of our marketing activities is the ability to integrate our Upstream, Downstream, and Chemical businesses. This advantage allows us to optimize our portfolio to respond to market demands most effectively and profitably. Applying this strong integrated focus to the global scale of our operations delivers significant competitive advantage.

Gas & Power Marketing constantly assesses conditions across the world’s gas and power markets
to optimize ExxonMobil’s global portfolio.

POWER ACTIVITIES

RESOURCES

The size, quality, and diversity of ExxonMobil’s resource base are competitive strengths of the Corporation. ExxonMobil’s resource base totals 72 billion oil-equivalent barrels, of which 32 percent is proved.

The resource base is updated annually for new discoveries and resource additions, and to reflect changes in the estimates of existing resources. Changes to existing resources may result from new drilling or from revisions to forecast recovery estimates such as from planned use of new technology. Changes may also occur due to modifications to depletion plans and from ongoing geoscience and engineering evaluations. Volumes produced or sold during the year are removed from the resource base at year end.

ExxonMobil’s resource base is the largest among our competitors, and is highly diverse in terms of geography and hydrocarbon/development type. The success of ExxonMobil’s global opportunity identification strategy is demonstrated by our ability to add an average of 3.1 billion oil-equivalent barrels of resource per year over the past five years.

In 2007 we added 2.0 billion oil-equivalent barrels to the resource base, with significant additions resulting from our drilling programs in the Piceance Basin in Colorado, West Africa, and the Asia Pacific region. Overall, the resource base was reduced by 1.8 billion barrels in 2007, driven by production and the expropriation of our Venezuelan assets in June 2007.

Effective use of ExxonMobil’s proprietary processes and best practices has resulted in continued low finding and resource-acquisition costs. In 2007 finding and resource-acquisition costs were $0.97 per oil-equivalent barrel. The timing of large resource additions varies from year to year and can lead to fluctuations in finding and resource-acquisition cost. The five-year average finding and resource-acquisition cost is $0.55 per oil-equivalent barrel.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 41

PROVED RESERVES

The annual reporting of proved reserves is the product of ExxonMobil’s rigorous and structured management review process that is stewarded by a team of experienced reserves experts with global responsibilities. ExxonMobil calculates its reserves using the same pricing basis used to make investment decisions, consistent with long-standing practice, rather than single-day, year-end pricing.

At year-end 2007, the resource base included 22.7 billion oil-equivalent barrels of proved oil and gas reserves, which equates to a reserves life at current production rates of 14.4 years. The reserves are evenly distributed between liquids and gas, and are geographically diverse.

ExxonMobil has added over 8.7 billion oil-equivalent barrels to proved reserves over the last five years, more than replacing production. In that time frame, the development of new fields and extensions of existing fields have added an average of 1.1 billion oil-equivalent barrels per year to proved reserves. Revisions have averaged about 0.7 billion oil-equivalent barrels per year over the last five years, driven by effective reservoir management and the application of new technology.

In 2007 ExxonMobil replaced 101 percent of reserves produced, including asset sales and the Venezuela expropriation, by adding 1.59 billion oil-equivalent barrels to proved reserves while producing 1.58 billion oil-equivalent barrels. Key additions came from our operations in the United States, Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Excluding the effect of the Venezuela expropriation and other asset sales, ExxonMobil replaced 132 percent of reserves.


(1) Proved reserves reflecting December 31, 2007 prices can be found on page 96.


(2) Includes asset sales and the 2007 Venezuela expropriation, and excludes year-end price/cost effects.

PRODUCTION VOLUMES

In 2007 oil-equivalent production of 4.2 million barrels per day was down 1 percent compared to 2006. Liquids production was 2.6 million barrels per day, and natural gas volumes available for sale were 9.4 billion cubic feet per day. Excluding the effect of the Venezuela expropriation, divestments, OPEC quotas, and price and spend impacts on volumes, oil-equivalent production was up nearly 1 percent. Volumes from new projects offset natural field decline and production sharing contract (PSC) net interest reductions of approximately 100 thousand barrels per day.

Near-term production growth will be driven by large gas projects in Qatar and liquids projects offshore West Africa. Longer-term growth will be enhanced by key projects in the Asia Pacific/Middle East, Africa, and Russia/Caspian regions. Production from North America and Europe is expected to continue to provide a strong, profitable base.

The forward-looking projections of production volumes in this document are reflective of our best assumptions regarding the technical, commercial, and regulatory aspects of existing operations and new projects. Factors that could have an impact on actual volumes include project start-up timing, regulatory changes, quotas, asset sales, operational outages, severe weather, and price effects under certain production sharing contracts.

UNITED STATES

ExxonMobil is one of the largest oil and gas producers and reserves holders in the United States. The U.S. portfolio is geographically diverse with significant positions in all major producing regions, including the Gulf Coast and deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico, the mid-continent, onshore and offshore California, and Alaska. The U.S. portfolio contains a diverse range of assets, from mature fields to new, world-scale projects.

The United States continues to provide a significant contribution to ExxonMobil’s profitability through high-quality drilling programs, selective investments in existing fields and new projects, and continued operational-efficiency improvements.

ExxonMobil continued to evaluate our large deepwater acreage position in the Gulf of Mexico in 2007.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 43

The Golden Pass LNG terminal, currently under construction at Sabine Pass, Texas, will regasify LNG received from Qatar for supply to U.S. markets.

Gulf of Mexico/Gulf Coast – For more than 50 years, ExxonMobil has been a leading oil and gas producer in the offshore Gulf of Mexico, with average daily net production of 56 thousand barrels of liquids per day and 573 million cubic feet of gas per day in 2007. Onshore production in Texas and Louisiana added 72 thousand barrels of liquids per day and 480 million cubic feet of gas per day.

In the Gulf of Mexico, ExxonMobil has about 2.6 million acres (gross) under lease, and operates about 70 structures. We continue to actively evaluate our large acreage position, including the deepwater Lower Tertiary play.

The Golden Pass LNG regasification terminal at Sabine Pass, Texas, is currently under construction and is scheduled to start up in 2009. It will have the capacity to supply 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day to the U.S. market.

Thunder Horse, a deepwater development in the central Gulf of Mexico, is progressing and is scheduled to start up in 2008.

Mid-Continent – ExxonMobil has oil and gas production throughout the mid-continent states, including Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Average daily net production from these areas was 12 thousand barrels of liquids per day and 365 million cubic feet of gas per day in 2007.

The mid-continent contains some of the most mature assets in ExxonMobil’s portfolio. The application of proprietary technology, including enhanced oil recovery and refracturing techniques, continues to significantly extend production life.

In the Piceance Basin in Colorado, ExxonMobil has 300,000 acres under lease with a potential recoverable resource of nearly 45 trillion cubic feet of gas (gross). In 2007 field production was brought to 55 million cubic feet of gas per day. Near term, production will be increased through expansion of the gas gathering and processing system and additional drilling. Opportunities for additional projects to fully develop the resource are under evaluation.

The LaBarge development (ExxonMobil interest, 100 percent) in Wyoming consists of the Tip Top and Hogsback fields and the Shute Creek plant. The operation includes the longest sour gas pipeline in the United States and the world’s largest helium recovery and Selexol (gas sweetening) plants. In 2007 the LaBarge facilities processed an average of 637 million cubic feet of inlet gas per day. In recent years, significant project activity has enabled the reinjection of produced hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide into nonproducing areas of the field.

Development drilling of tight gas continues in the Piceance Basin in western Colorado.

44 EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW

California – Average daily net production from ExxonMobil’s offshore and onshore California assets averaged 119 thousand barrels of liquids per day and 44 million cubic feet of gas per day in 2007.

The Santa Ynez Unit, located 20 miles west of Santa Barbara, consists of three offshore platforms in the Pacific Ocean’s Outer Continental Shelf and a processing plant in Las Flores Canyon. ExxonMobil also has a 48-percent equity share in the Aera onshore operations, comprising 15 fields and about 12,000 wells producing a mixture of heavy and conventional oil with associated gas.

Alaska – ExxonMobil is among the largest oil and gas producers in Alaska with average daily net production of 132 thousand barrels per day of liquids and 6 million cubic feet per day of gas in 2007.

Key assets include a 36-percent working interest in Prudhoe Bay and a 37-percent interest in Point Thomson.

ExxonMobil is actively involved in the Prudhoe Bay Western Region development, which will allow new satellite fields to produce into existing infrastructure. In 2007 we continued with additional facility expansion and upgrade activity. Engineering for a new gas processing facility was also advanced.

ExxonMobil is the largest holder of gas resources on the North Slope of Alaska. The Alaska Gas project would enable treatment and transportation of natural gas from the Prudhoe Bay and Point Thomson fields to North American gas markets. Securing predictable and durable fiscal terms with the State of Alaska is necessary to progress planning and execution of this world-scale project.

Coal – In 2007 ExxonMobil produced 2 million metric tons (gross) of coal from the Monterey coal mine in Illinois. In December 2007, mining operations were shut down.

CANADA

ExxonMobil has a leading position in Canada through our wholly owned affiliate ExxonMobil Canada and majority-owned affiliate Imperial Oil (ExxonMobil interest, 69.6 percent). Through these entities, ExxonMobil is a leading crude oil and natural gas producer in Canada and holds one of the country’s largest resource positions. We also have a significant presence in major projects offshore eastern Canada and a well-established production base with expansion opportunities in western Canada.

Offshore Canada Operations – The ExxonMobil-operated Sable Offshore Energy Project (ExxonMobil interest, 51 percent; Imperial Oil interest, 9 percent) consists of five producing fields. Production in 2007 was approximately 405 million cubic feet per day (gross), including 130 million cubic feet of gas per day from the Sable gas compression project that started up in 2006.

The Hibernia field (ExxonMobil interest, 33 percent) is operated by Hibernia Management and Development Company Ltd., using ExxonMobil personnel and processes. In 2007 Hibernia’s production averaged 135 thousand barrels of oil per day (gross).

The co-venturer-operated Terra Nova development (ExxonMobil interest, 22 percent) produces about 119 thousand barrels of oil per day (gross). Located in 315 feet of water, Terra Nova consists of a unique, harsh-environment-equipped FPSO and 26 subsea wells that are expected to recover 400 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross).

The Hebron project (ExxonMobil interest, 38 percent) is a future heavy oil development located in 300 feet of water offshore Newfoundland. Hebron will be designed for harsh arctic conditions using a gravity-based concrete structure to handle peak production of about 140 thousand barrels per day. A Memorandum of Understanding with the province of Newfoundland and Labrador was concluded in August 2007 to facilitate development of the resource, and work on the associated definitive agreements is progressing.

ExxonMobil has interests in four ExxonMobil-operated and four co-venturer-operated deepwater exploration blocks in the Orphan Basin (ExxonMobil interest, 15 percent; Imperial Oil interest, 15 percent), a high-potential, unexplored area with arctic conditions offshore eastern Canada. The first wildcat well in the Orphan Basin was completed in April 2007, and the results are being evaluated.

The Sable platforms connect five offshore gas fields that supply energy to markets in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 45

Onshore Canada Operations – The Cold Lake field (Imperial Oil interest, 100 percent) and the Syncrude oil sands mining operation (Imperial Oil interest, 25 percent) in Alberta account for the majority of Imperial Oil’s liquids production in western Canada.

Cold Lake averaged 154 thousand barrels of oil per day (gross) in 2007. At Syncrude, 2007 production of synthetic crude averaged 304 thousand barrels per day (gross).

The Cold Lake field in Alberta is the largest thermal in situ heavy oil project in the world. It has over 4000 wells directionally drilled from satellite pads. Cyclic Steam Stimulation is used to recover bitumen as it is too heavy and viscous for conventional production. Plans are in place to further enhance recovery at Cold Lake by using leading-edge thermal recovery technologies such as LASER (Liquids Addition to Steam for Enhanced Recovery).

The Syncrude Management Services Agreement was implemented in May 2007. This agreement allows ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil management and technical staff to work with Syncrude Canada Limited to improve operating performance through the application of proven operating best practices.

The Kearl Oil Sands project (combined ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil interest, 100 percent) is expected to develop a world-class resource in northern Alberta in three phases. Each phase will produce approximately 100 thousand barrels of bitumen per day (gross) from a resource exceeding 4 billion barrels. Federal and provincial regulatory approvals have been secured. Engineering, design, and execution planning are progressing.

The Mackenzie Gas project includes the development of three onshore fields (ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil hold interests in two of the three fields) containing approximately 6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Located in the Mackenzie Delta region of Canada, this development includes a gas processing plant and a 740-mile pipeline that will transport gas to North American markets. The regulatory process continues with a review panel report expected in 2008, followed by a National Energy Board decision in 2009.

Syncrude, located in the Athabasca region in Alberta, Canada, is the largest oil sands mining and upgrading facility in the world.

SOUTH AMERICA

Brazil – ExxonMobil holds a 40-percent interest in and operatorship of Block BM-S-22, located in the high-potential subsalt play of the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil. BM-S-22 is a 342,000-acre block in water depths over 7400 feet. 3D seismic data were acquired in 2005 and processed in 2006. Wildcat drilling plans are progressing.

Colombia – In 2007 the first exploration well was drilled in the Tayrona block (ExxonMobil interest, 40 percent). This is a 5.5-million-acre block with water depths up to 10,500 feet in the Caribbean Sea, off the north coast of Colombia. Further drilling plans are being assessed to ensure thorough exploration of this large block.

Venezuela – Following the expropriation of our assets in Venezuela effective June 27, 2007, ExxonMobil has attempted to work with the Venezuelan government to reach an agreement regarding compensation based on the fair market value of the assets. Discussions with Venezuelan authorities over compensation have not resulted in an agreement on the amount to be paid. ExxonMobil’s affiliates have submitted the dispute against Venezuela to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes in September 2007, and have filed a related arbitration against Venezuela’s national oil company (PdVSA) and a PdVSA affiliate with the International Chamber of Commerce in January 2008. ExxonMobil previously operated the Cerro Negro field (ExxonMobil interest, 42 percent), which produced an average of 76 thousand barrels of extra heavy oil per day (gross) in 2007, while ExxonMobil held an equity position.

Other South America – In Argentina, ExxonMobil holds a 51-percent interest in the Chihuidos field and a 23-percent interest in the Aguarague concession. In 2007 net daily gas production of 63 million cubic feet was sold into markets in Argentina and Chile. In addition the company holds exploration rights in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana.

We operate four major producing fields including Ringhorne (ExxonMobil interest, 100 percent) and Ringhorne East (ExxonMobil interest, 77 percent), which are located 110 miles west of Stavanger. Since being brought onstream in 2003, Ringhorne has produced 135 million barrels of oil and produced 101 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day (gross) in 2007.

The ExxonMobil-operated Ringhorne platform is 110 miles offshore Norway in 410 feet of water.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 47

ExxonMobil also has equity in more than 20 producing fields. In the Statfjord field (ExxonMobil interest, 21 percent) the “Late Life” project to improve recovery and increase field life started up in 2007.

The Ormen Lange field (ExxonMobil interest, 7 percent) has been developed with subsea wells and associated infrastructure in about 3000 feet of water, with produced hydrocarbons flowing 75 miles to shore. Gas is processed at a new plant at Nyhamna before being transported 750 miles through the Langeled subsea export pipeline, via the Sleipner platform, to the Easington terminal in the United Kingdom. Gas from the Ormen Lange field began flowing in September 2007, and will have the capacity to provide 20 percent of the U.K.’s gas needs.

The Volve field (ExxonMobil interest, 30 percent) will start up in 2008 as an eight-well development, with production capacity of 50 thousand barrels per day of liquids and 30 million cubic feet per day of gas (gross).

The joint-venturer-operated Caravel field in the U.K. North Sea is being developed with a monotower design.

UNITED KINGDOM

ExxonMobil is one of the largest oil and gas producers in the United Kingdom, with average daily net production of 150 thousand barrels per day of liquids and 779 million cubic feet per day of gas in 2007.

ExxonMobil operates eight fields in the northern North Sea and has interests in about 50 producing fields that are operated by others as part of joint operations.

We are the operator of the Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) gas plant at St. Fergus and the SAGE pipeline that transports gas from the Beryl Area fields to the gas plant. The company’s mature operations at Beryl and the SAGE gas plant are key contributors to U.K. energy supply.

The South Hook LNG regasification terminal in Milford Haven, Wales, will start up in 2008. This former ExxonMobil refinery site is being redeveloped for receipt, storage, and regasification of LNG. The terminal will have the capacity to deliver up to 2 billion cubic feet of gas daily into the U.K. natural gas grid.

ExxonMobil’s offshore portfolio remains an area of significant activity. In the southern North Sea, an innovative single-leg platform design known as a “monotower” has been utilized to develop the joint-venturer-operated Caravel field (ExxonMobil interest, 29 percent). Caravel will start up in 2008.

In the central North Sea, start-up of production from the joint-venturer-operated Starling gas condensate field (ExxonMobil interest, 72 percent) began in January 2008.

Additionally, planning is under way to drill a wildcat well on ExxonMobil’s Mid North Sea High license.

Construction progresses on the South Hook LNG regasification terminal in Milford Haven, Wales.

48 EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW

THE NETHERLANDS

ExxonMobil is among the largest gas producers in the Netherlands, primarily through its shareholding in NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij). NAM is a 50-percent ExxonMobil equity company that produces gas from more than 100 fields located both onshore and offshore.

NAM’s operations include Groningen, the largest gas field in western Europe, with estimated ultimate recoverable resources of over 100 trillion cubic feet of gas. The field has been producing since 1963. A major renovation project is nearing completion to ensure the long-term integrity of existing facilities, and to install new compression equipment to maintain capacity and extend field life.

Currently, NAM’s biggest offshore development project is L09 (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent). L09 is being developed in parallel with the Caravel project in the U.K. sector of the North Sea and utilizes the same monotower development concept. By using a standard design and combined project team for L09 and Caravel, significant efficiencies have been achieved. The L09 platform and pipelines were installed in 2007 and first gas is expected in 2008.

During 2007 NAM funded the Schoonebeek Redevelopment project. This enhanced oil recovery steamflood project is expected to start up in 2010 and will have 20 thousand barrels per day (gross) capacity.

The giant onshore Groningen gas field is capable of producing up to 12 billion cubic feet per day to supply Europe’s growing gas demand.

GERMANY

ExxonMobil is Germany’s largest gas producer with average daily net production of 775 million cubic feet per day of gas in 2007. Our 55 operated gas fields account for about three-quarters of all natural gas produced in the country. We drill approximately ten wells every year, some reaching depths in excess of 16,000 feet.

Approximately half of the gas production is sour, containing up to 36 percent hydrogen sulfide. The sour gas is processed at the Grossenkneten or NEAG sulfur-recovery plants. The company also operates a number of large compressor stations to maximize field depletion.

ExxonMobil’s portfolio in Germany also includes new exploration opportunities. ExxonMobil subsidiaries are evaluating four large exploration licenses that were awarded in 2007 by the Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia states. The licenses cover 1.3 million acres of the Lower Saxony Basin, and ExxonMobil operates these licenses with a 67-percent interest. Drilling is expected to commence in 2008.

BEB Transport GmBH (ExxonMobil interest, 50 percent) and ExxonMobil Gastransport Deutschland GmBH (ExxonMobil interest, 100 percent) both own regional gas pipeline networks in northwest Germany with a combined pipeline length of approximately 2300 miles. In 2007 a marketing effort resulted in an agreement for the sale of the transport businesses to N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie. Financial close of the transaction is scheduled for 2008.

The Grossenkneten plant (ExxonMobil interest, 67 percent) started up in 1972. Sulfur is removed using three processing trains to improve the quality of the sales gas.

The concrete, gravity-based structure (GBS) is currently under construction in Algeciras, Spain (photo below). It contains two large LNG storage tanks and supports topside regasification equipment.

Once construction of the GBS is complete, the dry dock will be slowly flooded (left panel of graphic, below) to allow the GBS to be towed from Spain to Italy.

Using a combination of boats and winches, the GBS will be moved out of the dry dock and into the open water. The GBS will be towed approximately 1700 nautical miles to a location offshore the northeast coast of Italy in the Gulf of Venice (center panel of graphic, and map).

At its final destination, the GBS will be lowered securely to the seabed for final commissioning, start-up, and operation. LNG ships, primarily from Qatar, will discharge cargo at the Adriatic LNG terminal (right panel of graphic), where the LNG will be converted back into gas for delivery to shore via an export pipeline supplying up to 775 million cubic feet of gas per day to the Italian market.

Tempa Rossa – In southern Italy, the Tempa Rossa project (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent) is expected to develop over 200 million oil-equivalent barrels (gross). Planning for construction of the oil facilities and export system is under way. These facilities will produce at a peak rate of 50 thousand barrels of oil per day along with associated natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, which will be handled in a separate storage and loading facility. Construction is planned to begin in 2008.

The world’s first Q-Flex LNG ship, the Al Gattara, is shown entering the Port of Ras Laffan, Qatar. Q-Flex ships are 45 percent larger than conventional-size LNG ships and employ more efficient propulsion systems. The ExxonMobil joint ventures, Qatargas and RasGas, will charter 20 Q-Flex and seven Q-Max ships. The Q-Max ship is 80 percent larger than conventional-size ships. The increase in ship size was made possible by the use of ExxonMobil proprietary technology, and the Qatargas and RasGas joint ventures will benefit from approximately 30 percent lower shipping costs.

RasGas Trains 6 and 7 – RasGas will build and operate two 7.8-million-tons-per-year LNG trains owned by Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company 3, a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil. Train 6 is planned to start up in 2008 and will primarily supply the U.S. market via the Golden Pass LNG regasification terminal. Train 7 will supply Asia and other parts of the world beginning in 2009. Construction is in progress on both liquefaction trains and also on two offshore production platforms to supply feed gas from Qatar’s North Field. The engineering, procurement, and construction of the large trains has benefited from execution learnings and project team experiences with RasGas Trains 3, 4, and 5.

Qatar Common Facilities – ExxonMobil is working with RasGas and Qatargas to construct common infrastructure to support the storage and loading of LNG, condensate, LPGs, and sulfur for many projects in Ras Laffan Industrial City. This shared approach is resulting in billions of dollars of savings over standalone construction costs.

Construction is well under way on the 7.8-million-tons-per-year RasGas Trains 6 and 7 (foreground) in Qatar.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

ExxonMobil participates in two oil concessions in the United Arab Emirates, one onshore and one offshore. In 2007 daily net production from the onshore concession was 131 thousand barrels of oil. Daily net production from the Upper Zakum offshore concession was 145 thousand barrels of oil.

Upper Zakum (ExxonMobil interest, 28 percent) is one of the world’s largest oil fields, with approximately 50 billion barrels originally in place, and less than 10 percent of the resource produced to date. ExxonMobil’s capability to improve oil recovery, build production capacity, transfer technology, and develop staff was key to our entry in the field in 2006. In 2007 the ExxonMobil Technology Center was opened in Abu Dhabi to allow staff working on Upper Zakum access to industry’s most advanced technology in the areas of reservoir management, well management, and production operations.

The ExxonMobil Technology Center in Abu Dhabi opened in 2007 for application in the Upper Zakum field.

AZERBAIJAN

Phase 1 and 2 developments of the Azeri portion of the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field (ExxonMobil interest, 8 percent) started up in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Phase 3 development of the deepwater Gunashli area is planned to start up in 2008. Total estimated recovery from Phases 1, 2, and 3 is 5.4 billion oil-equivalent barrels (gross). Total oil production from the ACG field at year-end 2007 was about 700 thousand barrels of oil per day (gross) and is expected to exceed 1 million barrels per day (gross) by 2010.

KAZAKHSTAN

ExxonMobil participates in the Tengizchevroil (TCO) joint venture (ExxonMobil interest, 25 percent), which includes a production license area encompassing the Tengiz field, an associated processing plant complex, and the nearby Korolev field. Including an exploration license adjacent to the production area, TCO holds a total of 608 thousand acres (gross).

Initial production from Tengiz Phase 1 onshore Kazakhstan began late 2007.

Under the North Caspian Production Sharing Agreement (ExxonMobil interest, 19 percent, pending final agreements reducing it to 17 percent), development activities are under way to initiate production from the giant Kashagan field, located offshore in the northern Caspian Sea.

Tengiz – The giant Tengiz field in Kazakhstan has produced over 1 billion barrels of oil from a developed resource of over 3 billion barrels. Through 2007, capacity of the field was about 300 thousand barrels of oil per day. Initial oil production from the first expansion, Tengiz Phase 1, was achieved in October 2007. Phase 1 integrates a second-generation gas-handling project with sour-gas injection. Phase 1 will develop about 2.3 billion barrels and provide 285 thousand barrels per day of incremental oil production. Future expansion will develop an additional 1 billion barrels and provide a further 260 thousand barrels per day of incremental capacity.

Kashagan – Full development of Kashagan will occur in phases, with the first phase targeting approximately 3.6 billion barrels of oil (gross) at a production rate of 360 thousand barrels per day. Phase 1, currently under construction, will include an offshore production and separation hub on an artificial island, several drilling islands, three onshore oil-stabilization trains, and two onshore gas treatment plants. Future phases are expected to increase recovery to 12 billion barrels of oil (gross) at a production rate of approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil per day.

Kashagan Phase 1 will develop 3.6 billion barrels of oil, utilizing artificial islands in the Caspian Sea.

(1)		The data shown above and on the preceding page include reserves, production, and costs from Canadian oil sands operations. This is a more complete summary of ExxonMobil’s exploration and production operations than the data in Appendix A of ExxonMobil’s 2008 Proxy Statement, which due to financial reporting requirements, treat Canadian oil sands as a mining operation.

(2)		See Frequently Used Terms on pages 94 through 97.

(3)		The term “sales” includes the impact of expropriation of proved reserves in Venezuela (462 million oil-equivalent barrels) in 2007.

(4)		Calculation based on exploration and production costs divided by oil-equivalent reserves additions. All values exclude the impact of asset sales; i.e., reserves sold and proceeds received; and price/cost related effects associated with using December 31 prices and costs.

(1)		The per unit data is divided into two sections: (a) revenue per unit of sales from ExxonMobil’s own production; and, (b) operating costs and earnings per unit of net oil-equivalent production. Units for crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) are barrels, while units for natural gas are thousands of cubic feet. The volumes of crude oil and natural gas liquids production and net natural gas production available for sale used in this calculation are shown on pages 60 and 61. The volumes of natural gas were converted to oil-equivalent barrels based on a conversion factor of 6 thousand cubic feet per barrel.

(2)		Includes earnings related to transportation operations, LNG liquefaction and transportation operations, sale of third-party purchases, technical services agreements, other nonoperating activities, and adjustments for minority interests.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 71

LEVERAGING GLOBAL SCALE AND INTEGRATION

ExxonMobil is the world’s largest global refining company, with the most distillation, conversion, and lube basestock production capacity. We have a strong presence in mature markets around the world as well as a significant presence in the high-growth Asia Pacific region. On average, our refineries are over 60 percent larger and are more integrated with chemical and lubes operations than the industry average. This scale and integration provide us greater flexibility to optimize operations and to produce higher-value products with lower feedstock and operating costs. We use an integrated approach when developing new business opportunities, such as our refining, petrochemicals, and fuels marketing venture in Fujian, China, and when supporting Upstream ventures, such as Syncrude in Canada.

Combined with our scale and integration, our global functional organization, established networks, and research programs ensure rapid and efficient development and deployment of best practices and technology. We use Integrated Business Teams, which combine refining, logistics, and marketing expertise, to optimize specific businesses and capture maximum shareholder value.

These structural advantages are difficult for competitors to duplicate. We continue to leverage these advantages to generate more than $1 billion pretax each year in refining “self-help” margin improvements and operating efficiencies, which underpin our leading financial performance.

A new furnace stack is installed at ExxonMobil’s refinery in Baytown, Texas, part of a project to increase capacity at a fraction of grassroots cost.

New Technology for Plant Operators

We continue to deploy state-of-the-art process control technology and tools at our refineries. Over a 10-year period we will invest over $700 million in this area to enhance operations safety and reliability, and increase margins. Not only are we installing the best process control systems, we are also implementing our Plant Automation Venture, which focuses on improving operator effectiveness. Nearly 600 Plant Automation project elements will be implemented over the next several years.

ENHANCING CONSOLE OPERATIONS

Advanced technologies for console operators manage and automate selected procedures, providing consistency and speed of execution. They also effectively and efficiently analyze, manage, and steward operational performance. New real-time advisory tools and event detection systems, which use ExxonMobil proprietary technology, provide operators early alerts of process deviations and provide expert guidance to quickly return to normal operations.

IMPROVED FIELD PERFORMANCE

We also provide our field operators with state-of-the-art technology, such as mobile computers which guide them through a more disciplined and consistent set of equipment checks. With these tools, equipment repair costs are lowered, energy efficiency improves, and workforce productivity increases. This technology has been implemented at 17 of our manufacturing plants, with rollout to the remaining sites planned by year-end 2009.

New state-of-the-art process control technology enhances operations safety and reliability, and increases margins.

INCREASING MARGIN

We improve margin by focusing on three key areas: economically growing production, reducing raw material costs, and improving yields of high-value products.

72 EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW

Production Growth – We strive to increase production by maximizing the utilization of our existing refining capacity. We focus on improving operations safety and reliability, eliminating constraints, optimizing planned maintenance and intervals between downtimes, and expanding market outlets. These improvements are driven by the disciplined application of our global management systems including our proprietary Global Reliability System and Molecule Management technology.

We also economically increase the capacity of our refineries through low-cost debottlenecks that are resilient even in low-margin environments. For example, we are expanding the capacity of our plant in Baytown, Texas, the largest refinery in the United States. Since 1995, we have effectively added the equivalent capacity of a new industry-average-size refinery to our portfolio every three years, at a fraction of grassroots cost.

Raw Materials – We continue to find new, innovative methods to reduce raw material costs. For example, we have expanded the application of advanced molecular fingerprinting and modeling technologies that improve our understanding of the behavior and characteristics of materials moving through our refineries. This technology enables us to more precisely select and blend crudes with properties that will maximize margins through our operating facilities.

ExxonMobil is an industry leader in utilizing challenged crudes that are typically discounted in the marketplace because they have properties that make them difficult to process. Since 2003, we have increased our processing of acidic, high nitrogen content, and other challenged crudes by 48 percent.

Product Yield – In addition to improving raw material selection, our Molecule Management technology also enables us to optimize the yields and blending of high-value products on a real-time basis. The approach is built on ExxonMobil’s proprietary technology and petroleum knowledge base, enabled by years of worldwide experience. Overall, our Molecule Management technology is currently delivering approximately $850 million per year in pretax benefits. We are in the process of extending optimization technologies into our transportation systems.

A new 125-megawatt cogeneration facility at ExxonMobil’s Antwerp, Belgium, refinery is planned to start up in 2008, increasing energy efficiency of the plant.

IMPROVING OPERATING EFFICIENCY

Worldwide cash operating costs at our refineries are substantially below the industry average, as confirmed by external benchmarking. Our worldwide company average unit cash operating costs have been within the first quartile of individual refineries since 2004. We have continued to widen our operating expense advantage.

We achieve industry-leading unit cost performance by leveraging our scale and integration as well as our leading-edge technology to capture efficiencies. We have been successful in developing energy and cost efficiencies that offset much of the inflationary pressures and expenses related to operating facility improvements, new process units, and production growth.

Energy Initiatives – Improved energy efficiency is a key contributor to our cost performance and we continue to outpace industry in this area. ExxonMobil’s proprietary Global Energy Management System (GEMS) focuses on opportunities that reduce the energy consumed at our refineries and chemical plants. Over $1.5 billion of annual pretax savings have been identified since 2000, equal to 15 to 20 percent of the energy consumed at our refining and chemical facilities. As of year-end 2007, we have captured nearly 60 percent of these savings.

EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION § 2007 FINANCIAL & OPERATING REVIEW 73

ExxonMobil continues to make significant investments in cogeneration facilities with several start-ups planned over the next few years. Cogeneration requires substantially less energy than separate conventional steam and power generation. While improving efficiency, our GEMS improvements and cogeneration of electricity also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Cost Efficiencies – In addition to energy efficiency improvement, we reduce costs through economies of scale. We use common support organizations at our integrated sites and our global training initiative improves overall workforce productivity.

Our global procurement organization also increases our competitive advantage. By utilizing our purchasing scale, market intelligence, and global best practices, our manufacturing sites are supplied with materials and services at costs lower than industry.

MAINTAINING CAPITAL DISCIPLINE

Refining & Supply capital expenditures are focused on selective and resilient investments that yield competitive advantage. These investments meet product quality requirements, reduce environmental impact, further upgrade safety systems, lower operating costs, and produce higher-value products and chemical feedstocks using lower-cost raw materials. We also implement projects that enhance refinery capacity and yield at much less than grassroots cost, generating an attractive return, even at bottom-of-cycle market conditions.

In 2007 we completed construction and successfully started up several projects that produce lower-sulfur motor fuels, including gasoline projects in Japan and diesel projects in North America and Europe, with additional start-ups planned for 2008. Our 2007 investments included new facilities to reduce diesel sulfur at our refinery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

New facilities to reduce diesel sulfur were installed at our refinery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2007.

ExxonMobil’s proprietary SCANfining technology, which was most recently applied at our refinery in Wakayama, Japan, provides a competitive edge by producing lower-sulfur gasoline with less octane loss and a minimum of new investment.

ExxonMobil’s proprietary Capital Project System, EMCAPS, continues to provide industry-leading performance in project development and execution. Over the last five years, our project cost effectiveness averaged 5 to 10 percent better than the refining industry, as confirmed by external benchmarking.
