Capitalize on Growing
Natural Gas and Power Markets
ExxonMobil’s expertise in integrating advanced
technologies across the natural gas value chain,
supported by a network of commercial experts with
knowledge of global energy markets, provides a
significant competitive advantage.
In the North American natural gas market, demand is
projected to grow about 1 percent per year on average to
2030, and with domestic supply from existing fields declining,
continued investments and new discoveries are required.
To increase supply, ExxonMobil is expanding the development
of tight gas resources in the Piceance Basin in Colorado. We
also have a leading position in gas resources in the Mackenzie
Delta region of northern Canada and on the North Slope of
Alaska, and have acquired acreage in the Horn River Basin
in western Canada. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports
will also play an increasingly important role. ExxonMobil is
participating in building the Golden Pass LNG regasification
terminal on the U.S. Gulf Coast, with a planned capacity of
about 2 billion cubic feet per day. ExxonMobil is also seeking
regulatory approval for a new LNG regasification terminal,
BlueOcean Energy, 20 miles off the coast of New Jersey.
ExxonMobil is a leading natural gas producer in Europe
through ownership in many key assets in the Netherlands,
Germany, and the North Sea. Local production in Europe is
anticipated to begin declining in the next few years. To help
meet the need for new supplies, LNG will play an increasing
role. The South Hook LNG terminal in Milford Haven, Wales,
and the Adriatic LNG terminal offshore Italy, both developed
by ExxonMobil and its partners, are expected to be
operational in 2009. These terminals will have a combined
capacity of nearly 3 billion cubic feet of gas per day.
ExxonMobil has also acquired a strong acreage position in
unconventional gas in Europe to help meet future demand.
Asia Pacific natural gas demand is expected to grow faster
than any other region of the world at about 3.7 percent per
year through 2030. ExxonMobil-interest LNG operations in
Indonesia and Qatar are major exporters to Japan, South
Korea, India, and Taiwan. ExxonMobil is also among the
largest suppliers of pipeline gas to markets in Australia
and Malaysia, and provides pipeline gas supplies to markets
in Thailand, far east Russia, and Qatar. Additional pipeline
and LNG opportunities are being progressed in the Middle
East, Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Papua New Guinea,
and West Africa.
ExxonMobil also has interests in electric power generation
facilities with total capacity of about 16,000 megawatts.

GLOBAL LNG
Global LNG demand is expected
to grow about 4 percent per
year through 2030, driven by
demand in North America and
Europe as well as Asia Pacific
markets. By 2030 LNG demand
is expected to represent about
15 percent of the world’s gas demand.
ExxonMobil is currently participating in LNG
operations in Qatar and Indonesia with a combined
gross capacity of approximately 35 million tons per
year, supplying LNG to markets in Asia, Europe, and
North America. This represents about 20 percent of
global industry capacity. ExxonMobil is participating in
four additional LNG trains in Qatar that will increase gross
capacity by over 30 million tons per year in 2009.
