Exxon is the operator, and will do whatever they think is best. It isn't their policy to be issuing updates on their day to day operations. Instead, four times a year they put out a report telling people how much money they made :)

Their last report was in October, in which they stated:

"Also in exploration we continue to progress our high potential unconventional natural gas opportunities in Europe and North America. In both the lower Saxony Basin in Germany and the Mako Trough in southeast Hungary we began drilling operations and will conduct production tests over the next several months."
