The acquisition of Denbury provides ExxonMobil with the largest owned and operated CO₂ pipeline network in the U.S. at 1,300 miles, including nearly 925 miles of CO₂ pipelines in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi – located within one of the largest U.S. markets for CO₂ emissions, as well as 10 strategically located onshore sequestration sites. A cost-efficient transportation and storage system accelerates CCS deployment for ExxonMobil and third-party customers over the next decade and underpins multiple low carbon value chains including CCS, hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, and direct air capture. In addition to Denbury’s carbon capture and storage assets, the acquisition includes Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain oil and natural gas operations. These operations consist of proved reserves totaling over 200 million barrels of oil equivalent, with 47,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day of current production, providing immediate operating cash flow and near-term optionality for CO2 offtake and execution of the CCS business.
