How was EXXON MOBILE formed?

Actually it is EXXONMOBIL. It was formed several years ago by the merger of EXXON Corporation and Mobil Corporation.

Some greedy CEO ba$tard of ExxonMobil or Shell or Texaco or whatever. Has to make a payment on the new 490 ft yacht to sail to the new Carribean island he just bought, which has a mortgage payment due also.

Depends, do you have oil or natural gas fields?\n\nCan Exxon Mobil enter your markets on the cheap?

Do what they successfully do in some other countries - boycot the big oil companies one at a time - if NOBODY in the US bought gas from Exxon for a specified  time you can bet your bottom dollar they'd reduce the price at the pumps!  Then go on with Chevron or whoever is the chosen one - main thing - target them one or two at a time! They don't care about the US or its citizens - they're in it for the megabucks!  And if they can't get megabucks, they'll take whatever bucks they can get!

I was in the same boat as the guy who answered this question before me, but after reading a few news articles I realize that it is true.\n\n"Hydrocarbon Technologies, a Utah subsidiary of Headwaters Incorporated, announced that the $2 billion project with Shenhua Group, China's largest coal company, would eventually produce 50,000 barrels of clean-burning gasoline and diesel fuel per day."\n\nhttp://www.upi.com/inc/view.php?StoryID=19062002-041015-4320r\n\nHow it works, I got from here: http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/1organic/coal.html\n\nThe first step toward making liquid fuels from coal involves the manufacture of synthesis gas (CO and H2) from coal. In 1925, Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch developed a catalyst that converted CO and H2 at 1 atm and 250 to 300C into liquid hydrocarbons. By 1941, Fischer-Tropsch plants produced 740,000 tons of petroleum products per year in Germany.\n\nFischer-Tropsch technology is based on a complex series of reactions that use H2 to reduce CO to CH2 groups linked to form long-chain hydrocarbons.\n\nCO(g) + 2 H2(g) ----->  (CH2)n(l) + H2O(g)(Ho = -165 kJ/molrxn)\n\n\nThe water produced in this reaction combines with CO in the water-gas shift reaction to form H2 and CO2.\n\nCO(g) + H2O(g) ----->  CO2(g) + H2(g)(Ho = -41.2 kJ/molrxn)\n\nThe overall Fischer-Tropsch reaction is therefore described by the following equation.\n\n2 CO(g) + H2(g) -----> (-CH2-)n(l) + CO2(g)  (Ho = -206 kJ/molrxn)\n\nAt the end of World War II, Fischer-Tropsch technology was under study in most industrial nations. The low cost and high availability of crude oil, however, led to a decline in interest in liquid fuels made from coal. The only commercial plants using this technology today are in the Sasol complex in South Africa, which uses 30.3 million tons of coal per year.\n\nAnother approach to liquid fuels is based on the reaction between CO and H2 to form methanol, CH3OH.\n\nCO(g) + 2 H2(g) ----->  CH3OH(l)\n\nMethanol can be used directly as a fuel, or it can be converted into gasoline with catalysts such as the ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst developed by Mobil Oil Company.\n\nAs the supply of petroleum becomes smaller and its cost continues to rise, a gradual shift may be observed toward liquid fuels made from coal. Whether this takes the form of a return to a modified Fischer-Tropsch technology, the conversion of methanol to gasoline, or other alternatives, only time will tell.

Not really.  If everyone stopped buying from Exxon and used the other providers, then the other providers would run out of gas pretty quickly due to supply and demand chain effects.  What would happen is that they would buy their gas from Exxon and overall all prices would go up, not down.\n\nFull mythbuster at Snopes.\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp

It formed of dead bodies of plankton million years ago, found in certain rock formation called reservoir. Produced by drilling an oil well and gathered into surface facilities. Separated from its impurities (sediments and water), it transported mostly by pipeline to the refineries. The refineries extract the crude components at each weights to make various type of fuel such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil and so on. Crude oil composed by carbons and hydrogen that so called hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons constitute a very large group including alkanes, alkenes, and alykynes.\nIt's non-renewable energy resources.

All I can add is withhold for the H and dekko for K (old time slang for a look, as in "have a dekko at this")\nIf proper names are allowed, there's an oil company called Exxon, and a poem called "The Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam"

I have been in the petroleum business for 35 years, I have never heard of and oil and gas plant. Can you provide a definition or a description of what this facility does?\n\nThen was is the basis for optimization? Cost? revenue? product recovery?

Probably Exxon Mobil and Chevron.  The major foreign ones are BP and Royal Dutch.

Market forces my behind. The price of crude is still dropping while the price of gas is creeping up again. Are people really trying to say the price of gas dropped seventy five cents after labor day because the summer driving season ended? Get real. The oil industry is globally manipulated and further down the chain manipulated by everyone who can manipulate it. Every oil company dumps their gas into a common pipeline and then pulls it out somewhere else along that pipeline. Exxon-Mobil, Citgo, Chevron...it's all the same gasoline. They each add some ingredients to try to distinguish themselves from one another with whatever they claim their gas does to enhance your engines performance. Think there's no manipulation? What happened to the oil shortage from thirty five years ago?

Houston will add another publicly traded energy company to its roster later this year, when Roswell, N.M.-based Hondo Oil & Gas moves its corporate headquarters here. \n\nThis latest corporate relocation, however, isn't likely to excite the Houston housing market too much. \n\nOnly one Hondo employee -- C.B. McDaniel, company secretary and counsel -- will be moving from New Mexico to Houston. The corporate office eventually will house four workers. \n\nThe company's president and chief executive, John Hoey, won't be moving here. He'll continue to live in Pennsylvania. \n\nStill, Paul Hayes, an analyst with Oppenheimer & Co., said the move only makes sense. "Roswell is not exactly the transportation center of the Western Hemisphere." \n\nWith revenues of only $44,000 in fiscal 1995, Hondo Oil & Gas has never exactly been a blue chip stock. \n\nBut the chairman of this oil and gas producer is Robert O. Anderson, the former chairman of Atlantic Richfield Co. and a legend in the Oil Patch. \n\nAnd the company became the talk of the industry when it sold off all its other oil and gas assets and bet the ranch on one investment, development of the Opon gas field in Colombia. \n\nThe partners in the project, led by Chicago-based Amoco Corp., planned to build a $59 million pipeline and sell 80 million cubic feet of gas a day to Ecopetrol, Colombia's state-owned oil company. \n\nImpressed by the field's prospects and by the Anderson mystique, investors pushed up Hondo shares to a high of 241/8 in August. \n\n"This was a good project," McDaniel said. "It made sense." \n\nBut then the Colombian government changed the terms of the deal, insisting on a lower gas price ceiling and less-favorable pipeline tariff terms. \n\nSuddenly, the whole project was in jeopardy. Last week, Hondo's stock plunged to a low of 9¼. \n\nUnder the current terms, "we would think it probably would not go forward," McDaniel said. "We don't know at the moment." \n\nBy Wednesday, the company's stock had rebounded to 107/8 on word that London-based Lonrho PLC, the company's chief creditor, had completed its plan to gain control over 77 percent of Hondo Oil & Gas voting stock. \n\nAnderson will stay on as chairman of the company, though he and his family will retain only a minority stake.

From the official Motorola site:\n\n"Originally founded as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928, Motorola has come a long way since introducing its first product, the battery eliminator."

I started boycotting exxon-mobile 1st quarter last year. Exxon got huge PROFITS from the 42% PROFIT they get per barrel of oil.  Products from the oil, is marketed everywhere, gas, diesel etc. I believe that enough people boycotted one company, it could work, Boycot until the allowed profit is reduced. Legally they get 42% no matter what the price per barrel is. The state you live in can get as much as 28% tax. 12% profit is for distribution, the remainder is for the station. The world stability determines price of a barrel of oil. But we could force a company to NOT GET THE HUGE   PROFIT FROM A SINGLE BARREL. OR -----------BOYCOT WALMART- hurt a huge corporation and money will talk.........
