ExxonMobil to double its Permian Basin resource

摘要

Exxon Mobil Corporation will more than double its Permian Basin resource to 6 billion boe through the acquisition of companies owned by the Bass family of Fort Worth, Texas, with an estimated resource of 3.4 billion boe in New Mexico's Delaware Basin, a highly prolific, oil-prone section of the Permian Basin. ExxonMobil will make an upfront payment of $ 5.6 billion in ExxonMobil shares, and additional contingent cash payments totaling up to $ 1 billion.
