Process of Obtaining Oil

• It is formed by large quantities of dead organisms are compressed under
sedimentary rock and exposed to intense heat.
• The most common way to extract oil is thru drilling
• (Below is a picture of a pump jack and a oil boom)
Process of Obtaining Oil Cont.
• There are many types of oil drilling used today.
• These include standard vertical drilling, hydraulic Fracking, Offshore drilling and
other new technologies.

Overall Oil Production
• Exxon Mobil currently Produces 7-8% of the Oil used around the world.
• This makes Exxon the largest Producer of Oil in the world.
• Exxon Mobil has developed technology to continue the production of oil into the
future
• Technologies such as Hydraulic Fracking, safer offshore drilling and the technologies
used in the Kearl Oil sands in Canada.
• These new technologies will enable Exxon to not only continue production of Oil, but
with Hydraulic Fracking enter the Natural Gas industry and possibly export the
liquefied form.
• The future is bright for Exxon production with the current rate of use by the
industrialized world.

Exxon Mobil’s Affect on the Environment
• Exxon Mobil is still paying for the environmental damage caused by their careless
actions over a decade ago.
• Exxon Mobil has settled with the Environmental Protection Agency for 2.64 million
dollars for improperly and carelessly handling and disposing of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs).
• PCB is a man-made chemical that is used in paints, industrial equipment, plastics,
and cooling oil for electrical transformers, which was banned by the Environmental
Protection Agency in 1978.
Environmental Affect cont.
• Between 2002 and 2005 Exxon Mobil had two large electrical transformers that
leaked nearly 400 gallons of PCB- contaminated fluid.
• One barrel was allowed to leak for nearly two whole years before Exxon Mobil
decided to repair it.
• Once PCB is released into the environment it remains for decades.
• PCB causes cancer in animals and are suspected of carcinogens in humans.
• Even acute exposure to PCB can adversely affect your nervous immune, endocrine
system, and liver function.
Customer and Employee Satisfaction
• When assigning workers to clean up the PCB spills, Exxon Mobil failed to ensure that
each worker was equipped with the necessary protective clothing and equipment,
leaving each individual vulnerable and increasing their chances of carcinogens, as
well as a number of other health complications they could possibly face.
Overall Environmental
Contribution/Affect
• So, in closing we asked how does Exxon Mobil affect the environment?
• The answer is Exxon Mobil is affecting the environment in a negative way, not only
are they handling highly toxic chemicals in a careless manner, they also aren’t doing
much to protect their employees from these chemicals.
• Exxon Mobil doesn’t care about things like the safety of the human and animal race
because to them we are all expendable.
• Any damage created by Exxon Mobil isn’t a big deal for them because they are still
making their profit regardless of what's going on.
