Exxon Exxon Mobil
The world's biggest investor-owned oil company, Exxon Mobil, posted the largest profit, a record $36.13 billion on revenue of $371 billion. Exxon's profit surge, which came even as worldwide production declined by 1 percent, may renew Congressional interest in the company and the oil industry in general, particularly since Exxon said its profits climbed more than 40 percent last year while its tax bill rose only 14 percent.
