From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Mobil to Enlarge Refinery: Mobil Corp. said it was expanding its largest U.S. refinery located in Beaumont, Tex., at a cost of $300 million. The expansion, scheduled to begin in the third quarter, will increase the plant’s capacity to 325,000 barrels a day of crude oil from the current 285,000 barrels. The bigger refinery will enable Mobil, the nation’s second-largest oil company after Exxon Corp., to substantially increase production of higher-profit super unleaded gasoline and distillate fuels, such as home heating oil. The project, which is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 1992, will also reduce emissions from the plant.
