Any Intel on what the outcome is?

Guarantee it was either McKinsey or BCG. As an aside, I wonder why XOM doesn't use Bain more.
Was this study completed by consultants like BCG or using internal resources?
Yep, it's true. The Operating affiliates have the capabilities to do the same jobs more effectively and uniquely as it fits individual circumstances. There is nothing new under the sun. EMTEC will continue to try and prove themselves until they've been sufficiently whittled down to near zero. Operating engineers, contractors and suppliers own the smarts.

Yes, conclusion was that they are only capable of consuming money and waste the time of employees in the operating units as EMTEC has no capability. The only thing that EMTEC produces are expenses. Engineering will continue to be moved to KLTC and BTC, EMTEC will be done by drunk monkeys at a lower cost than KLTC or BTC and higher quality.
Large companies are very wasteful!
That was the plan which was implemented when we merged ExxonMobil Chemical Technology with ExxonMobil Research and Engineering and rebranded ourselves as EMTEC.
Most technologies in downstream are at least fifty years old. Why do we need specialists supporting them? That’s not how independent operators in downstream do business and they are doing fine. All that overhead can be eliminated.
