U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil is set to report third-quarter results that include its first full quarter of earnings from its $60 billion purchase of shale producer Pioneer Natural Resources.

Wall Street analysts will be listening for what Exxon says about ramping up its production next year given concerns about slowing global oil demand and its outlook for refining margins.
