The Oil Company Dilemma

In the last few years, energy-producing companies in the US have had something of a hard time. Politicians talk about and dump money into renewable energy. Oil production in the US is shrinking. OPEC and others are reducing oil production to increase profit from oil sales.

Look at the overall financial performance of ExxonMobil and other large American oil companies over the last five years. Be specific and be financial. How much revenue? How much profit? What is happening with market capitalization? Identify the top best, most important FINANCIAL action they should take to increase profit and company value over the next few years.

Please avoid the lame solution. Produce a final document that you would be proud to present to a senior executive.
