Natural gas company and parent to the Mobil lubricant brand, ExxonMobil, is poised to reform the base stocks industry in 2025 via its Singapore Resid Upgrade Project.

Site construction in now well underway for the project, with high-pressure reactors in place standing over 52 metres in height – many as tall as an 18-storey building.

The Singapore project’s scale and size are impressive, but what truly distinguishes it is the extremely advanced processes involved in its equipment. ExxonMobil engineers are introducing cutting-edge proprietary technology designed with the express aim of converting resid into base stock and fuels with a higher value.

Using the pioneering method, the company is ready to extend large-scale production of the trademarked “EHC 50 base stock”, issue its EHC 120 heavy neutral base stock in the Asia-Pacific area and globally introduce its brand-new EHC 340 MAX base stock.

The project is not only focused on transforming ExxonMobil’s manufacturing site in Singapore, however; it also seeks to transform the entire industry and address the world’s growing need for even higher-performance lubricants.

Project Director and Venture Executive at ExxonMobil in the Asia Pacific region, Khalid Ashraf, commented that the company is reinforcing its commitment to the lubricant industry through working closely with its customers. He stated that the project in Singapore is an example of ExxonMobil’s continuing ambition to use technology and innovation to provide its customers with value.

With a 26-year-long career at the company – over half of which he spent in Singapore – Ashraf is the ideal candidate to lead the project. The Project Director and his team are now working towards the project’s successful and safe completion in 2025.
