Analysts' Corner recently announced new research reports highlighting Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., Encana Corp., Statoil ASA, and PetroChina Co. Ltd.

Exxon Mobil

On Sept. 13, 2013, Exxon Mobil announced that its Point Thomson project has completed a number of infrastructure milestones during the summer of 2013, as part of an ongoing commitment to Alaska's energy future.

“ExxonMobil is strongly committed to hiring Alaskans and, with its contractors, employed more than 1,100 Alaskans during the 2013 winter work season,” Gina Dickerson, senior project manager at Point Thompson said.

“Point Thomson's infrastructure can help unlock the eastern portion of the North Slope for expanded exploration and development activity. Along with our contractors and partners, we're very proud to be building a project on the North Slope that will significantly contribute to realizing Alaska's full energy potential.”

According to the company, the Point Thomson Unit is estimated to hold 25 percent of known North Slope natural gas and is designed to initially produce 10,000 barrels/day of condensate at startup in the winter of 2015/2016.

Chevron

On Aug. 29, 2013, Chevron announced the expansion of its Fuel Your School Program, an innovative collaboration between Chevron and DonorsChoose.org that is designed to help meet the critical need for classroom funding in various communities where Chevron operates. According to the company, the program has expanded to 14 U.S. communities in fall 2013, from nine communities in 2012.

“Effective education in the STEM subjects-science, technology, engineering and math-can help prepare bright young students to be the engineers, geologists and doctors of the future, driving innovation and economic growth,” said Dale Walsh, president of Chevron Americas.

“Fuel Your School provides teachers with essential tools and resources, including hands-on project materials that often do not receive funding from traditional sources. These resources are critical to spurring students' interest in and understanding of the STEM subjects.”
