Chalmette Refinery : (Chalmette, Louisiana), a 50:50 joint venture between
Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) (Irving, Texas) and Petroleos de
Venezuela S.A. (Caracas, Venezuela), recently shut down three units to
conserve company funds in the face of the economic recession: a
32,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) semi-regenerative reformer unit; the
10,000-BBL/d delayed coker Unit 1; and a 23,000-BBL/d hydrocracker. The
refinery also will make enhancements and upgrades to the delayed coker Unit
2 to improve operations and ensure that all safety standards are being met.
