Project Description
The project aims to convert fuel oil and other bottom-of-the-barrel crude products into higher-value lube base stocks and distillates.

The project is part of ExxonMobil’s plan to enhance the competitiveness of the Singapore facility, which includes the world’s only steam cracker capable of cracking crude oil.

The project will add 20 000 bbl/d of ExxonMobil Group II base stocks capacity, which includes EHCTM 50 and EHCTM 120 grades, in addition to a new high-viscosity Group II base stock to meet increasing demand in the Asia-Pacific region.

The expansion will increase production of cleaner fuels with lower-sulphur content by 48 000 bbl/d, including high-quality ExxonMobil Marine fuels to enable cus­tomers to meet the International Maritime Organization’s 0.50% sulphur requirement.
