Texas/USA – Exxon Mobil has recently stated that it has completed an expansion at its Singapore refinery to upgrade its production of EHC Group II base stocks, strengthening the global supply of high-quality base stocks and enhancing the integrated facility’s competitiveness.

The expansion will enable customers to blend lubricants that satisfy more stringent specifications, help lower emissions and improve fuel economy and low-temperature performance. Customers will achieve short-term and long-term cost savings through blending optimisation and reformulation.

“The safe, on-schedule completion and successful startup of this expansion further enhances Exxon Mobil’s competitiveness in manufacturing Group II base stocks,” said Bryan Milton, president of Exxon Mobil Fuels & Lubricants. “It further establishes Exxon Mobil as a key producer of fuels and petrochemical products and affirms our confidence in Singapore, where we operate Exxon Mobil’s largest global integrated refining and petrochemical complex.”

Supply to customers is expected in the third quarter of 2019, and builds upon recent expansions at Exxon Mobil’s Rotterdam facility, which along with existing production in Baytown, Texas strengthens the global supply of high-quality base stocks.
