Story details
Darren Woods, ExxonMobil Chairman and CEO, appears in the wire-service interview published by Reuters (syndicated via WHBL) on 2026-03-10. The source gives the interview date as 2026-03-10; this is kept separate from the publication date.
Reuters reported that Exxon evacuated non-essential employees from projects in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Woods linked operational pullbacks to storage constraints, inventory management and supply-chain flows through the Strait of Hormuz; he framed employee safety as the company’s highest priority.
The accessible evidence is a syndication, republication or secondary report; the original interview page or a full original transcript could not be independently confirmed. Confidence is therefore medium.
