ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) has released a report that outlines for shareholders how the company assesses and manages risks associated with developing unconventional resources, including through hydraulic fracturing.

Unconventional natural gas and oil development in the United States has resulted in widespread benefits, including significant job creation, reduced carbon dioxide emissions, lower energy costs, new sources of government revenue and improved energy security. The report highlights numerous studies that support these trends.
