"In September 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission requested information from ExxonMobil on the company’s longstanding policy of not writing down the value of oil reserve assets in light of future climate change regulations that may force fossil fuel companies to keep oil, natural gas and coal in the ground, in contrast to other energy companies that have done so in the recent past."[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:ExxonMobil_climate_change_controversy user: 69.58.42.90 (talk)

Rex Tillerson
Rex Tillerson69th and current United States Secretary of State, serving since February 1, 2017. "Tillerson joined ExxonMobil in 1975 and rose to serve as the chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of the company from 2006 to 2016. By 1989 he had become general manager of the Exxon USA central production division. In 1995, he became president of Exxon Yemen Inc. and Esso Exploration and Production Khorat Inc. In 2006, Tillerson was elected chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon, the world's 6th largest company by revenue." (from Rex Tillerson) Tillerson retired from Exxon effective January 1, 2017, and was succeeded by Darren Woods. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. "In 2014, Tillerson, who had made business deals on behalf of Exxon with Russian President Vladimir Putin, opposed the sanctions against Russia."(from Rex Tillerson) He has previously been the director of the joint US-Russian oil company Exxon Neftegas.

"Tillerson has ties with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. They have been associates since Tillerson represented Exxon's interests in Russia during President Boris Yeltsin's tenure. John Hamre, the President and CEO of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, of which Tillerson is a board member, states that Tillerson "has had more interactive time with Vladimir Putin than probably any other American, with the exception of Dr. Henry Kissinger."" (from Rex Tillerson)

"Tillerson is a friend of Igor Sechin, the leader of the Kremlin's Siloviki (security/military) faction, who has been described as "Russia's second-most powerful person" after Putin.

In 2011, on behalf of ExxonMobil, Tillerson signed an agreement with Russia for drilling in the Arctic that could be valued up to $300 billion. The company began drilling in the Kara Sea in the summer of 2014, and a round of sanctions against Russia introduced in September that year due to the Ukrainian crisis was to have brought the project to a halt in mid-September. Nevertheless, the company was granted a reprieve that stretched the window to work until October 10, which enabled it to discover a major field with about 750 million barrels of new oil for Russia.

In 2013, Tillerson was awarded the Order of Friendship by Putin for his contribution to developing cooperation in the energy sector. (from Rex Tillerson)
