Investing to improve
The ExxonMobil team recognizes that we need to stay focused on improving our supply reliability to help keep our customers moving and growing. Since our last edition of FuelEase in September, we have made a number of investments to try and move the needle on supply reliability.
Recent investments/upgrades:
-
Irving:
- Invested ~$3M in infrastructure improvements at the facility. Improvements included a new office building with amenities for drivers, new pavement and relocation of the BOL printer, which has helped reduce terminal time
- Expanded Synergy Diesel Efficient™ product to all lanes. Initially it was only installed on lanes 5-7. This has reduced queuing and wait times
-
East Providence:
- Invested by taking a single diesel arm at Lane 7 and converted it to two ULSD/Heating Oil and two Gasoline arms, which helped debottleneck the site for peak periods
- Added one ULSD/Heating Oil arm to lane 4 (originally gasoline only bay), which increased the customer usability from roughly 35% of trucks to ~95% of trucks.
-
Ferrysburg terminal:
-
We worked closely with Buckeye to influence upgrades to the Ferrysburg truck loading rack that will increase
flow
rates and reduce terminal wait times:
- ExxonMobil customers can now benefit from three bays having both gasoline and diesel
- New rack controllers were installed that are expected to reduce card-in times, aid product selections and reduce downtime during seasonal blend changes
