Refining & Supply
ExxonMobil Refining & Supply integrates a global
network of reliable and efficient manufacturing plants,
transportation systems, and distribution centers to
provide fuels, lubricants, feedstocks, and other high-
value products to our customers around the world.
Our global supply organization optimizes our network,
including selection and placement of raw materials to
our refineries, efficient supply of products to our customers,
and placement of ExxonMobil’s equity crude. Our proven
business model is founded on continuous operations
improvement, leveraging our global scale and integration
across businesses to improve margins and deliver
efficiencies. We are meeting the growing demand for
high-quality products through selective investments that
yield a competitive advantage.
Pursuing Operational Excellence
We strive for excellence in all aspects of our operations.
Personnel and operations safety remain our top priorities.
Our Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS)
framework delivers common worldwide expectations that
help ensure safe and reliable operations. We continue to
enhance personnel safety through focus on human factors.
We are also focused on improving operations safety by
identifying and reducing risks inherent in our businesses,
strengthening our systems and worker competencies, and
upgrading our facilities. Our processes and their efficient
execution have established ExxonMobil as an industry
leader in operational excellence.
Leveraging Global Scale and Integration
ExxonMobil is the world’s largest refiner, with the world’s
largest distillation, conversion, and lube basestock
production capacity. We have a strong presence in mature
markets around the world as well as a significant presence
in the high-growth Asia Pacific region. Our refineries are
more than 60 percent larger than the industry average
with more conversion capacity and more integration with
chemical and lubes operations. These advantages provide
us greater flexibility to optimize operations and produce
higher-value products with lower feedstock and operating
costs. In addition we use an integrated approach when
developing new business opportunities, an example of
which is our refining, petrochemical, and fuels marketing
venture in Fujian Province, China.
Maintaining Capital Discipline
We continue to take a disciplined and long-term approach
to investments in order to meet the world’s energy needs
while sustaining industry-leading returns. Our capital
investments include projects to meet new product quality
requirements, reduce environmental impact, further upgrade
safety systems, lower operating costs, produce higher-value
products and chemical feedstocks, and process lower-cost
raw materials.
