Panorama The Exxsol capacity expansion at ExxonMobil’s Singapore chemical plant adds to what was already one of the world’s largest integrated refining and chemical complexes. Singapore chemical expansion completed ExxonMobil Chemical has expanded capacity at its Singapore chemical manufacturing complex to produce an additional 130,000 tons of hydrocarbon fluids a year. The expansion boosts the Singapore plant’s total annual hydrocarbon-fluids capacity to more than 500,000 tons. The increased capacity addresses the rapid growth in demand for ExxonMobil Chemical’s Exxsol hydrocarbon fluids. These solvents are used in drilling mud oil, metal working, polymer processing, industrial cleaning, adhesives, coatings, 27 United States and European Union give nod to Vistamaxx The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved ExxonMobil Chemical’s Vistamaxx specialty elastomers and resins under the Food Contact Notification process. These grades, used in flexible and rigid food packaging, are also compliant with the compositional requirements of the European Union Directive 2002/72/EC for food contact. Typical applications for Vistamaxx specialty elastomers include food containers, kitchen tools and utensils, and toys. Because Vistamaxx polymers improve flexibility and impact resistance without affecting tensile strength, they can help prevent cracking in these types of applications. mining and household products. Compared with conventional solvents, Exxsol hydrocarbon fluids have less odor and reduced toxicity. They also produce fewer emissions. Demand for Exxsol hydrocarbon fluids has been especially strong in the Asia-Pacific region due to robust economic growth and an increased focus on health, safety and environmental issues. ExxonMobil Chemical also manufactures hydrocarbon fluids at Baytown, Texas, and Antwerp, Belgium.
Chad project continues to generate economic and social progress Five years after oil was first produced from the Doba basin in southern Chad, the Chad Export Project continues to provide significant economic growth and development for the country and its residents. Stephane de Mahieu, general manager, Esso Exploration and Production Chad Inc., provided a project update at the Chad International Oil, Mining and Energy Conference in N’Djamena, Chad, in October. “At mid-year 2008, Chad’s total revenue from the project exceeded $3 billion,” said de Mahieu. “These revenues improve the lives of Chad’s citizens through investments such as paved roads and a new technical university in the outskirts of Moundou that is attended by 1,200 students.” He also pointed out that the project has spent $1.8 billion for goods and services from an estimated 2,200 Chadian and Cameroonian businesses since 2000. “We made the commitment to hire locally as much as possible, which is why in a matter of only a few years, nine out of 10 employees are Chadians and Cameroonians, with a majority of our national workers in skilled, semi-skilled or supervisory positions.” Other project highlights include: Extensive and comprehensive public consultation about the project’s development plans and operations through community meetings in which some 300,000 Chadians and Cameroonians participated. Project contributions of more than $9 million to an array of community, educational and environmental initiatives in Chad and Cameroon. The renovation of three clinics in the oilfield development area to significantly improve health services to surrounding villages. U.S. Secretary of State honors Esso Angola The United States Secretary of State selected Esso Exploration Angola (Block 15) Ltd. (EEAL) as a finalist for the prestigious Secretary’s Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE). Of 60 companies nominated by U.S. ambassadors from around the world, EEAL was one of 11 finalists and the only one in Africa. In notifying the company that it was a finalist, Dan Mozena, U.S. ambassador to Angola, said the nominees for the annual award are judged on innovation, leadership and commitment to working with others to build a better and more hopeful future in the communities where they do business. “I believe that the designation of ACE finalist signifies the outstanding work Esso Exploration Angola (Block 15) Ltd. does and the high regard in which it is held, both in the United States and Angola,” Mozena added. “EEAL is a leader in fighting malaria and HIV, educating girls and women, preserving the environment, inculcating high standards in safety and ethics, volunteering labor in off-hours for community-development activities, and training the next cadre of Angolan professionals, just to mention some of its principal contributions.” Working with local governments and organizations, EEAL has identified and implemented a variety of social projects to improve health, advance education and reduce impacts on the environment. Projects have led to the distribution of bed nets and medical supplies, the construction of schools and health clinics and the protection of the rare black sable antelope, the national symbol of Angola. Community projects in Angola have been funded by EEAL and grants from the ExxonMobil Foundation through its Africa Health and Educating Women and Girls initiatives. Since 2000, EEAL and the ExxonMobil Foundation together have made financial contributions to benefit the people and economy of Angola, and employees also have volunteered their time to advance these projects.
