Units at ExxonMobil's petroleum and chemical production site in
Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon, northern France, are running "normally"
following an unplanned maintenance that began in mid-December, a
company spokesperson told OPIS Wednesday.
However, a 400,000 metric ton/year mixed-feed ethylene cracker
that was also shut for unplanned maintenance is not expected to
resume production until mid-January, according to market sources
and data by Chemical Market Analytics (CMA) by OPIS, a Dow Jones
company.
"A minor technical incident occurred at the ExxonMobil Chemical
Gravenchon integrated plant in mid-December 2023. The units are
working normally after [the completion of] maintenance repair
work", the spokesperson said.
Exxon declined to provide further details on the type of units
affected.
A unit was shut down on Dec. 11, according to local media that
cited an ExxonMobil warning of flaring and noise for several
days.
The Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon industrial site includes
ExxonMobil's 12 million mt/year refinery. The company also produces
propylene and other petrochemicals at the same site, according to
CMA data.
The Gravenchon site is ExxonMobil's largest integrated platform
in Europe, producing a range of petroleum and chemical products
such as gas, fuels, lubricants, polymers and specialty products,
according to a company statement.
