Technology is identifying news ways to find energy
Breakthrough technologies — including some pioneered by ExxonMobil — have helped keep pace with rising global energy demand by making more energy supplies available, while also reducing the environmental footprint of energy development. Technology is more important today than ever, since a significant portion of the world’s oil and gas resources is located in challenging environments such as deepwater, heavy oil/oil sands, tight gas and Arctic regions, which require innovative approaches to energy production.
How do we meet the world's growing energy demand while minimizing its impact on the environment?
Learn about our technologies.
ExxonMobil employs the latest generation of 3-D technology, coupled with advanced computing, to create detailed images of the world’s oil and gas reservoirs.
R3M uses extremely low-frequency electromagnetic waves to discern these resistive deposits — remotely “mapping” undersea oil and gas reservoirs with accuracy.
Today, wells can be drilled horizontally as well as vertically, beginning miles from the oil and gas they are intended to reach.
ExxonMobil technology has opened up so-called “unconventional” energy resources such as tight gas, heavy oil and oil sands.
ExxonMobil has developed expertise in improved recovery techniques such as injecting liquids or natural gas into a reservoir to reduce or even reverse the natural decline of a producing field, depending upon a reservoir’s geology and other factors.
Advances in technology have enabled ExxonMobil to produce offshore oil and gas deposits in water depths that were impossible a generation ago.
