Neil Chapman, senior vice president at ExxonMobil, has discussed the company's investment strategy and market outlook in recent years. At the 2021 Energy Intelligence Forum, he said that short-term gas supply would be challenged due to a lack of investment and declining local production in Europe, and he noted that the industry was not investing enough to meet demand. He also stated that a consistent theme across climate scenarios is that as oil and gas use declines, hydrogen, biofuels, and carbon capture and storage would increase, and he said ExxonMobil aimed to apply its capabilities in those areas. In earlier appearances, Chapman discussed the company's chemical business and joint ventures. He described the construction of a synthetic rubber facility in Saudi Arabia with SABIC and a planned steam cracker in South Texas, which he said would be the largest in the world. He also addressed quarterly earnings in 2018, attributing a miss to planned and unplanned maintenance in the refining business, and he said the company was increasing transparency with investors. In 2017, he said the chemical industry's growth outpaced general economic growth and that global chemical demand would double within 20 years, while also emphasizing the need for industry collaboration to address plastic waste.
