Near the Gulf Coast just east of Texas’ oil-rich Permian Basin, nearly 2,000 ExxonMobil contractors are making sure the company’s latest project – which includes 26 miles of piping, 35 miles of electrical wiring and 875 tons of steel – is pumping oil at full capacity.
senior vice president of global operations detailed how the company’s Beaumont complex is not only fueling U.S. energy supply but also the economy.
"When you put it all together and you look at this particular location, what I love about it, it allows us to buy what I consider to be very much needed, affordable energy, and in a very reliable supply to fuel the economy that we have here in Texas, the U.S. and, I say, across the globe," Janet Matsushita told Fox News Digital.
After beginning construction in 2019, the Beaumont refinery startup broke ground just over one month ago and added 250,000 barrels per day to its oil output, increasing its total processing capacity to more than 630,000 barrels daily. To put things into perspective, this equates to a sizable 4 million gallons per day, providing enough fuel to power 61,000 long-haul trucks in a single day.

The boy has a problem with geography. It is 500 miles East of the Permian Basin
Good for them!
I agree. Secession followed by independence is the only way Texas will survive. I lived in Texas 30+ years and then came to Pennsylvania. What a terrible, terrible mistake.
Texas is the most honest places I have ever lived or worked.
Pa has dishonesty at virtually every level. I can’t think place any worse since I was my own source of job earned income—almost 50 years now.
I could list how PA is dishonest...starting with little towns to horrendous big cities, etc. And in my opinion there are many women who work but few who can actually exercise their trained abilities.
I no longer have the ability to work at any job for any anybody at any place. I have an advanced form of something like MS and the money I had saved is long gone.... It is discouraging. And to make it all the more interesting, I cannot afford to move, sell my beat up old house, pay the bills that are outstanding because I do not have the where-withall in any place to pay for what I owe or they say I owe.
I admit, however, I am very grateful to be considered a veteran but it still doesn’t add well at all to my money pot.
—”I think this expansion was done to accept oil from the Keystone XL.”
Maybe not.
XL was originally from the oil sands of Canada pumping diluted bitumen; the stuff is so thick it is diluted with a solvent to pump.
The new addition is running Permian crude, not the same stuff.
Building completely new refineries has not been possible for years.
Hooray for ExM!
“Unleashing” and they put the much needed in quotes. Nice, how you lace as much editorial content as you can into a simple headline. The little leftist at FBC is or probably not even aware they are doing it
Ok. The keystone was supposed to run to Port Arthur. Same general area.
Good for XON, we need this refining capacity. Hopefully they are anticipating a better political environment for Oil in 2024.
Wait ‘til Biden finds out...he’ll put an end to it.
Blow it up like they have been doing to food factories and dairy farms derailing trains
EIA sez: (US crude oil exports)
“Asia and Oceania remained the regional destination receiving the most U.S. crude oil exports in 2022, 43% (1.55 MMbpd). Europe ranked a close second, at 42% (1.51 MMbpd). Asia and Oceania are the regions that have received the greatest volume of U.S. crude oil since 2017, with Europe receiving the second-most since 2018.”
i’m guessing big oil doesn’t believe the U.S. transportation fleet is going to be replaced with hundreds of millions of battery-driven vehicles any time soon ... certainly, oil stocks are at or near all time high prices, and they went up even more immediately after dementia joe announced his new BS “everything will be electric” edicts ...
How did Exxon get Biden’s Criminal Regime to approve this? Maybe Biden figgered he could talk about how’s “working” to lower energy costs for voters in 2024 office run.
I wouldn’t build a damned thing before I put in top rate
security to protect the plant.
Sorry for your struggles. If you have not found Jesus, find Him.
From one Texan to another
What a coinkydink.
I wouldn’t build a damn thing if we’re just going to EXPORT it.
Just a short 9 hour, 560 mile hop. Sort of like driving from New York to New Haven - by way of Washington DC.
