Can ExxonMobil make attractive returns from its US CCUS portfolio?
Report summary
ExxonMobil has built a position of unrivalled leadership in the US CCUS sector. The company has more than five times the potential capacity of all the other Majors combined in what is arguably the world’s most advantaged CCUS market. Analysis using our new asset level modelling capability in Lens Carbon indicates ExxonMobil’s CCUS assets are almost competitive with upstream for capital. We take a look at the NPV, returns and cash flow outlook for the company's CCUS assets in the US. We also analyse how ExxonMobil is leaning on several areas to manage the uncertainty and downside risks. Successful execution of the strategy could position the Supermajor as the partner of choice in offering CCUS-as-a-service.
