In 2020, ExxonMobil recorded its first quarterly loss since the 1999 merger of Exxon and Mobil. In the fourth quarter of 2020, it posted a loss of $22.4 billion from a profit of $14.3 billion a year earlier. Much of this is due to the devaluation of previously discovered reserves. Since then, rising oil prices have increased the company's assets.

ExxonMobil has removed $10 billion from its investment budget and cut operating costs by $7 billion during 2020 to adapt to the financial challenges of Covid19. As a result, 450 fewer wells were drilled in 2020 than a year ago. However, liquid oil production fell by only 80,000 barrels per day per year, although gas production declined significantly.

ExxonMobil's mining division posted a loss of $20 billion in 2020 from revenue of $14 billion in 2019. While most analysts expect this trend to reverse again in 2021, revenues declined by around $77 billion. The
company has built three major oil fields in Guyana. We continue to develop rentals in the country's seas. New processing and export facilities opened in the United States and construction of new chemical facilities continued.

A key moment for Chevron in 2020 was the October acquisition of US shale oil and gas producer Noble Energy. Due to high production costs, the US shale sector felt the impact of lower oil prices more severely than other sectors. As Noble's margins shrink and debt rises, Chevron seizes the opportunity to purchase its reserves in a $4.2 billion deal.

Meanwhile, Chevron needed to think about finances. The loss peaked in the second quarter of 2020 when the company reported a net loss of $8.3 billion. During the year, the company suffered no significant changes in net production but suffered a net loss of $5.5 billion.

Chevron increased its dividend by 8% when several large companies stopped or cut payments to shareholders in 2020. Although the company's profits have recovered in 2021, they have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels. The company also converted existing refineries to increase biofuel production. The company also joined the Hydrogen Council, which later acquired a joint venture for hydrogen production and announced plans to expand its own hydrogen production. A collaboration with Algonquin Renewable Energy has also begun the construction of 500 MW renewable generation by Chevron.
