- Crude-processing capacity to increase
by more than 65 percent
- Expansion will enhance Beaumont
refinery’s position as a leader in the U.S.
- Construction on track for production
startup by 2022
ExxonMobil said today that it has reached a final investment
decision and started construction on a new unit at its Beaumont,
Texas refinery that will increase crude refining capacity by more
than 65 percent, or 250,000 barrels per day. The third crude unit
within the facility’s existing footprint will expand light crude
oil refining, supported by the increased crude oil production in
the Permian Basin.
“With access to terminals, railways, pipelines and waterways
nearby, the Beaumont refinery is strategically positioned to
benefit from Permian production growth,” said Bryan Milton,
president of ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants Company. “The addition
of a third crude unit in Beaumont will enhance the refinery’s
competitive position and truly establish it as a leader in the U.S.
refining industry.”
Startup of the new unit is anticipated by 2022. The project is
expected to create up to 1,850 jobs during construction and between
40 and 60 permanent jobs once completed.
ExxonMobil previously announced plans to build and expand
manufacturing facilities in the U.S. Gulf region as part of its
Growing the Gulf initiative. Growing the Gulf projects include
expansion of Beaumont’s polyethylene capacity by 65 percent, a new
unit in Beaumont that increases production of ultra-low sulfur
fuels, and a new 1.5 million ton-per-year ethane cracker at the
company’s integrated Baytown chemical and refining complex in
Texas. ExxonMobil and SABIC have also created a new joint venture
to advance development of the Gulf Coast Growth Ventures project, a
1.8 million metric ton ethane cracker currently planned for
construction in San Patricio County, Texas.
ExxonMobil’s integrated operations in Beaumont include a 366,000
barrel-per-day capacity refinery, as well as chemical, lubricants
and polyethylene plants. ExxonMobil has approximately 2,100
employees in the Beaumont area and its operations account for
approximately 1 in every 7 jobs in the region.
