ExxonMobil expands Singapore refinery to raise base oil output

EXXONMOBIL, which owns the largest refinery in Singapore, is expanding the
facility to increase the production of base oil, which is used to
manufacture lubricants.

Construction work is expected to start in the second quarter of this year
and end by 2019.

With the expansion, the group will be able to strengthen the global supply
of its EHC Group II base stocks. These help to maximise the performance of
major automotive engine oil grades and finished lubricants in various
industries.

"Our new investment in Group II base stocks will enable our customers to
blend lubricants that satisfy more stringent specifications, help reduce
emissions, and improve fuel economy and low-temperature performance," said
global base-stock and specialties marketing manager Ted Walko.
