Item 8.01

Other Events


In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela's President Chavez in February of this year, by May 1, 2007, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project.  This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates (ExxonMobil) holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project.  The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a "mixed enterprise" structure and an increase in PdVSA's or one of its affiliate's ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if an agreement was not reached for the formation of the mixed enterprise during a specified period of time, the government would "directly take on the activities" carried out by the joint venture.  ExxonMobil and Venezuela were not able to reach agreement on the formation of a mixed enterprise and on June 2 7, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil's 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project.  


Subsequent discussions with Venezuelan authorities have not resulted in an agreement on the amount of compensation to be paid to ExxonMobil.  On September 6, 2007, ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.


At this time the net impact of this matter on the Corporation's consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated.  However, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation's operations or financial condition.  At the time the assets were expropriated, ExxonMobil's remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets was about $750 million.
