![Wikipedia screenshot titled "Collusion allegations:"
During the COVID pandemic, Sheffield petitioned the Texas Railroad Commission to curtail oil production in order to raise oil prices.[12]
In May 2024, during its antitrust review of ExxonMobil's acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleged that Scott Sheffield had illegally colluded with OPEC and OPEC+, a related cartel of oil-producing countries, to raise oil prices at the expense of U.S. households and businesses.[13] The FTC's complaint cited a quote from Sheffield acknowledging his tactics.[13] Pioneer Natural Resources countered that the FTC misunderstood Sheffield's actions.[9] The FTC reiterated the allegations, citing Sheffield's communications urging production limits.[14] Consequently, the FTC approved the $60 billion merger between Exxon and Pioneer Natural Resources in May 2024 but imposed a settlement condition that barred Scott Sheffield from joining Exxon's board after the merger.[14] In July 2025, the FTC announced that they reopened and reversed the decision barring Sheffield from Exxon's board. He stated he has no interest in joining the board, though he does remain one of Exxon’s largest shareholders.[15]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gi64iddebrxtwhrdgwaslgor/bafkreibfpkykhpvmmylbbzfxzennvw76axzg7jkn5qxkiktfw2rad3uuwy)
