Exxon Mobil Corp on Wednesday unveiled plans to grow dividends and curb spending with projections that were muted from previous years after the top US oil and gas producer posted a historic annual loss for 2020.

It expects output to remain flat at around 3.7 million barrels of oil and gas per day through mid-decade as it focuses on boosting cash flow instead. Woods pitched the company's new Low Carbon Solutions Business, where he sees near-term opportunities in carbon capture and storage and carbon offsets.Oil and gas production spending will focus on Guyana, Brazil and the Permian Basin, where lower shale aspirations appear to be the reason for the company's flat production outlook, said Biraj Borkhataria, analyst with RBC Capital Markets.

Exxon has drawn the ire of activist investors focused on climate, but since December the company has said it would reduce oilfield emissions and improve climate disclosures. It has not set a company-wide emissions target. A coalition of investors that oversees US$2.5 trillion in assets on Wednesday said the energy giant had taken “initial steps in the right direction” but more work lays ahead.
