Refining

ExxonMobil is one of the largest crude oil refiners in Europe, with an interest in 10 major refineries. Five refineries are fully owned and operated. Our total 2007 throughput was 1.6 million barrels a day with a utilization of refining capacity of 93%.

Fuels Marketing

Drawing on our worldwide retailing experience and extensive consumer and market research, Fuels Marketing offers innovative market-specific retail formats and products to fully meet our customers’ needs and expectations by delivering convenience, quality, and value. Further increasing nonfuels margin continues to be one of our key priorities to optimize retail site profitability.

In certain markets, we use strategic alliances with leading food and grocery marketers to complement our fuels brand
and to enhance the convenience store offering by leveraging the strength of our partners’ brand value, expertise, and
distribution network. (For example: our alliances with Tesco in the United Kingdom)

Lubricants & Specialties
Globally respected brands and industry-leading technology enable ExxonMobil to build enduring and successful strategic global alliances with automotive and industrial equipment manufacturers. We enjoy strong relationships with global partners such as Toyota, Caterpillar, Chrysler, General Motors, Peugeot, and Porsche, where we collaborate on developing innovative new lubricants. This approach leads to long-standing technology partnerships, such as our 10-year relationship with Porsche. Porsche recommends Mobil 1 motor oil exclusively, and every new Porsche automobile rolls off the assembly line filled with Mobil 1 motor oil.
