Chalmette Refining Continues Money-Saving Delayed Coker Projects, an
Industrial Info News Alert

SUGAR LAND, TX, Nov 10, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Researched by

(Chalmette, Louisiana), a 50:50 joint venture between Exxon Mobil
Corporation (XOM 71.10, +0.11, +0.16%) (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

10,000-BBL/d delayed coker Unit 1; and a 23,000-BBL/d hydrocracker. The
