Footnotes † Natural gas converted to oil-equivalent barrels using 6 million cubic feet per 1,000 barrels. ‡ Sales data reported net of purchases/sales contracts with the same counterparty. 1 Totals may not reflect some candidates’ failure to deposit, or returned contributions not yet posted. 2 ExxonMobil-operated emission estimates are based on a combination of measured and estimated emissions data using best available information. Our calculations are based on industry standards and best practices, including guidance from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and IPIECA. The uncertainty associated with the emission estimates depends on variation in the processes and operations, the availability of sufficient data, the quality of those data and methodology used for measurement and estimation. Changes to the estimates may be reported as updated data and/or emission methodologies become available. We work with industry, including API and IPIECA, to improve emission factors and methodologies. Emission estimates from non-ExxonMobil-operated facilities are included in the equity data. The data include XTO Energy performance beginning in 2011. 3 The net equity greenhouse gas emissions metric was introduced in 2011 as a replacement for the direct equity greenhouse gas metric. Information has been restated back to 2010 according to the new metric. The net equity greenhouse gas metric includes direct and imported greenhouse gas emissions and excludes emissions from exports (including Hong Kong Power through mid-2014). ExxonMobil reports greenhouse gas emissions on a net equity basis for all our business operations, reflecting our percent ownership in an asset. 4 The addition of direct emissions and emissions associated with exported power and heat is equivalent to World Resources Institute (WRI) Scope 1. 5 These emissions are equivalent to WRI Scope 2. 6 Flaring increased in 2019 due to start-up of growth projects in the Upstream and as a result of implementing measures to comply with new regulatory requirements in Downstream and Chemical manufacturing. We anticipate meeting our 2020 flaring reduction target. 7 Cumulative figure. 8 The value for hazardous waste from ongoing operations includes produced water classified as hazardous waste by one local authority, which is approximately 80-95 percent of the reported figure in 2010-2012. 9 Workforce includes employees and contractors. Accidents or incidents include both injuries and illnesses. From 2010 through 2019, all fatalities were injury-related. 10 Incidents include injuries and illnesses.
