ExxonMobil starts first-of-its-kind technology in Singapore

SINGAPORE – ExxonMobil successfully started up a first-of-its-kind technology in Singapore to increase production of higher-value products, including a range of lubricant base stocks and fuel.

This strategic investment is part of ExxonMobil’s ongoing efforts to transform its manufacturing assets to better meet the demand for high-quality base stocks and liquid fuels.

“No other company in the world can do what we’ve done in Singapore,” said Geraldine Chin, chairman and managing director, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. “We will deliver innovative products to the market by deploying our proprietary technology and expertise. We’re proud of the teams who helped make this possible.”

The unique combination of technologies converts fuel oil and other bottom-of-the-barrel crude products into higher-value lube base stocks and distillates, improving the competitiveness and profitability of the manufacturing site and helping to meet customer demand.

The new facilities expand our Group II base stocks production capacity by 20,000 barrels per day, including up to 6,000 barrels per day of the new-to-industry EHC 340 MAX^TM. The base stocks are for commercial vehicles and industrial sectors, and used in engine oils, gear oils, marine oils and greases. EHC 340 MAX^TM improves lubricant performance in these applications.

The new facilities on Jurong Island are integrated with ExxonMobil’s refining and petrochemical complex in Singapore, which serves customers across the Asia-Pacific region.
