Report summary
Competitors crave a better understanding of ExxonMobil’s bold US$2 billion annual synergy targets for Pioneer's assets. We think the goal is realistic; capturing just half of the synergy value would cover the deal premium. The balance would be pure value upside. We see demonstrable value opportunities by eliminating excess capital from well completions. If successful, NPV10 per well would increase roughly US$1 million and breakevens would reach ExxonMobil's target of US$35/bbl. Resource capture synergies will take longer to develop. Expensive data collection and advanced AI/ML modeling to reach these new benchmarks is ExxonMobil's tool. Investment in these resources has been stymied through the Independents’ era of cost control. Scale changes this, and ExxonMobil’s pro-forma portfolio puts it in the driver’s seat.
