ExxonMobil plans to increase distillate production at its U.S. refineries by a further 100,000 barrels per day, with diesel identified as a higher-value fuel. The expansion is part of a broader effort to improve refining product mix. Media reports citing CEO Darren Woods’ October 30 CNBC interview say refining will receive about 10% of the company’s 2027–2030 capital investment program; ExxonMobil has invested around $17 billion in refining since 2019 and increased crude processing capacity by nearly 10%.
