ExxonMobil update highlights efficiency, no incremental demand for oil services

From an oil services perspective, we consider the key takeaway from ExxonMobil’s corporate update to be continued high and improving capital efficiency, allowing it to do “more with less”. By 2030e, it plans to increase production by c1m barrels per day to 5.4m barrels per day on largely flat upstream capex compared to 2023–2024 levels. This implies further efficiency improvement, which we consider on the downside for the oil services industry as it implies no need for incremental service capacity (rigs, subsea, etc.). Compared to other oil companies, it appears that the high-quality portfolio of ExxonMobil is the main driver, and we note its spending is concentrated (70%) towards Permian, Guyana and LNG. In sum, for the oil services names, we consider the update generally on the downside but note that selected service companies with long-term contracts in its key basins (such as Noble providing deepwater rigs in Guyana) are likely to benefit from visibility, despite the highlighted drilling efficiency in Guyana.
