Downstream earnings rebounded in 2000, driven largely by improved refining conditions worldwide. ExxonMobil refineries, like the Rotterdam refinery above, were well-positioned to benefit from the improved industry environment. While marketing conditions were relatively weak, ExxonMobil continued to invest selectively in the United States and abroad.

Worldwide Downstream

ExxonMobil has refining operations in 26 countries, 45,000 service stations in more than 100 countries, and lubricants marketing in almost 200 countries and territories.
