Exxon Mobil's exploration of new fracking technologies could lead to a significant increase in oil production from its U.S. shale holdings. This would likely have a positive impact on the company's revenues and profitability, which could in turn boost its stock price in the short term. The company's goal to reach between 900,000 and 1 million barrels per day in the Permian by 2027, with 9% to 11% production growth, further supports the potential positive impact on its stock price.
