About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will learn about the recent history of ExxonMobil, the world's largest oil company.
You will also learn that :
- exxon and mobil merged in 1999;
- the geographic location of Exxon and Mobil's proven reserves were complementary;
- most of Exxon's executives came from the southern states;
- after its failed merger with Mobil, BP merged with Amoco;
- between 1999 and 2001, a wave of mergers transformed the face of the global oil industry;
- the ExxonMobil group is present in nearly 200 countries.
From Abu Dhabi to Sumatra and from the North Sea to Alaska to Angola and Venezuela, ExxonMobil is present in every corner of the globe. ExxonMobil is active around the world, mining oil and natural gas and distributing it worldwide through its network of service stations. As the title of the book aptly reminds us, this sprawling company is a "private empire", a state within a state, whose policies do not always mesh well with those of the United States. Steve Coll explores every nook and cranny of this private empire and highlights the shadowy side, to the delight of the reader.
