“Acquiring Denbury reflects our determination to profitably grow
our Low Carbon Solutions business by serving a range of
hard-to-decarbonize industries with a comprehensive carbon capture
and sequestration offering,” said Darren Woods, Chairman and CEO.
“The breadth of Denbury’s network, when added to ExxonMobil’s
decades of experience and capabilities in CCS, gives us the
opportunity to play an even greater role in a thoughtful energy
transition, as we continue to deliver on our commitment to provide
the world with the vital energy and products it needs.”
The transaction synergies are expected to drive strong growth
and returns for ExxonMobil. 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.
Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer
commented, “This transaction is a compelling opportunity for
Denbury to join an admired global energy leader with a low-carbon
focus, a robust balance sheet and a leading shareholder return
program. Over the last few years, Denbury has made significant
progress executing our strategic plan, strengthening our enhanced
oil recovery operations and capitalizing on our unrivaled
infrastructure to accelerate the growth of our CO2 transportation
and storage business. To build even further on this positive
momentum, the Denbury Board of Directors and management team
undertook a thorough review process and considered a number of
alternatives to maximize long-term value. Through this process, it
became clear that the transaction with ExxonMobil is in the best
interests of our company, our shareholders, and all Denbury
stakeholders. Importantly, given the significant capital and years
of work required to fully develop our CO2 business, ExxonMobil is
the ideal partner with extensive resources and capabilities. The
all-equity consideration will allow Denbury shareholders to
participate in the upside of ExxonMobil’s stock while benefitting
from its strong capital return strategy. We look forward to
bringing together our highly complementary cultures and teams to
realize the long-term value and benefits of this combination.”
“Denbury’s advantaged CO2 infrastructure provides significant
opportunities to expand and accelerate ExxonMobil’s low-carbon
leadership across our Gulf Coast value chains,” said Dan Ammann,
President, ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions. “Once fully developed
and optimized, this combination of assets and capabilities has the
potential to profitably reduce emissions by more than 100 million
metric tons per year in one of the highest-emitting regions of the
U.S.”
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.
The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously
approved the transaction, which is subject to customary regulatory
reviews and approvals. It is also subject to approval by Denbury
shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in the 4th
quarter of 2023.
For more information on the acquisition, the investor
presentation is available at ExxonMobil Investor website.
