===The Distribution network===
−
ExxonMobil claims to operate the largest underground pipeline network in the UK [37] : 00 km in total. 85% of Fawley’s products leave by pipeline to distribution terminals or airports (including Heathrow + Gatwick). Short pipelines feed local power stations and petrochemical works [38]. 10% leaves by ship, taking products to terminals in UK and Europe, and just 5% by road.

There are distribution terminals at West London (near Heathrow), Purfleet, Avonmouth, Birmingham, Nottingham, Hythe (near Fawley) and Manchester. West London is the biggest terminal [39].

Garages get their fuel from the nearest refinery – whichever company owns it, so if you watch tankers coming out of Fawley, you will see all company liveries. When Fawley was blockaded last year, The Automobil Association said half the petrol stations on the south coast could be affected [42]. But a report in Octane Week confirms the assertion on Esso’s website that 80% are supplied from Fawley – noting that the new ultra low sulphur gasoline from Fawley was being sold at 80% of Esso’s petrol stations, and the remaining 20% weren’t supplied from there [43].

While the move is to global organisation, there are practical (geographical) limits to the ability to do this. For example, upstream and downstream operations in the UK both have the same chairman, and are based in the same office. But the move is new, so it remains to be seen to what extent the globalisation policy is implemented.

You can find Esso's major locations on an interactive map on their web site at http://www.esso.com/eaff/essouk/glance/britain.html. Their main locations are in Leatherhead, West London, Abingdon, Fareham, Fife, Fawley and Purfleet.

See below for descriptions of some of the places.

  • Leatherhead
Leatherhead is the HQ of Esso UK plc, Esso Exploration & Production and Esso Petroleum Company. Up to 1,000 staff work there. [2] It is a purpose built complex of offices, used initially for administrative functions when the head office used to be at Victoria Street. Based here are sales & marketing, IT, gas, some of human resources, logistics, some of exploration, some of finance.

  • London offices
Mobil Court in London is HQ of UK upstream units (Mobil North Sea, Esso Exploration and Production, Mobil Gas Marketing) and of ExxonMobil International. Trade journal Lloyds List describes its role as a "centre of excellence" responsible for European and African upstream operations. [3] Prior to the merger, Mobil had 900 upstream staff in London. [4]
The London office is described as 'European upstream headquarters'. The finance division is based there (deals with internal finance). [5]

  • Fawley
Situated on the Solent near Southampton is Fawley, Britain's largest refinery (which uses as much electricity as Southampton does). [6]
Major process units at Fawley include: 3 atmospheric + 3 vacuum distillation units, a fluid catalytic cracking unit, a resid finer, a polymerisation plant, 2 powerformers, 5 hydrofiners, 2 sulphur extraction units, a lubricating oil manufacturing complex, an isomerisation unit and a bitumen plant. [7]
Crude oil arrives in 80,000 tonne tanker ships. [8] The Marine Terminal has 5 deep-sea berths and 4 inshore berths. There are 2,500 ship movements per year (most of these taking products away). [9] More than 25 million tonnes of oil and oil products pass through Southampton port per year, mostly for or from Fawley. [10] About half of the inputs are from the North Sea (sweet – low sulphur), half from the Middle East (sour). [11]
Exxon Chemical has a chemical manufacturing complex at Fawley, producing 700,000 tonnes of chemicals per year. [12] It produces ethylene, butylenes, butadiene, solvents, butyl and halobutyl rubber, lubricating oil, fuel oil additives, higher olefins for internediaries for the vinyl and plastics industries. It also produces speciality chemicals for oil exploration, extraction and refining industries. [13] About 80% is exported – many to Exxon Chemical plants in Europe. Chemical products for UK markets go first by ship to two terminals at Purfleet or one at Immingham. [14] About 600 work at Fawley for Exxon Chemical. [15]
Last year a combined heat and power plant (CHP) was set up at Fawley. It produces 135MW of electricity, and 150 tonnes of steam per hour, which is fed back into the refinery. The site is on Esso land, but the plant is owned by Cogen, National Power’s CHP subsidiary, and is operated by Esso employees. [16]

  • Mossmoran plant
Mossmoran is fed directly from the North Sea, via St Fergus terminal. Its products are distributed by pipeline to UK markets or by ship to Europe. 250 employees on Mossmoran site. [17] 50% owned by Shell Chemicals UK. [18]
  • Purfleet Lubricants Plant
Responsible for manufacture, packing & distribution. Blends base stocks, which come by ship from Fawley. It is also a major distribution terminal for fuels and other products. Leading brands are Mobil 1 and Esso Ultron. Over 400 different types of lubricants are blended at Purfleet for industry. [19]
  • Call centre, Manchester
Due to open in the summer, at Salford Quays, with 300 staff. Dealing with enquiries from retail, wholesale and industrial customers across Europe. [20]
  • Aberdeen office
The Mobil North Sea office in Aberdeen has been kept after the merger, but with a reduction in staff numbers from the former 400. [21]

The Distribution network

ExxonMobil claims to operate the largest underground pipeline network in the UK. [22] 85% of Fawley's products leave by pipeline to distribution terminals or airports (including Heathrow and Gatwick). Short pipelines feed local power stations and petrochemical works. [23] 10% leaves by ship, taking products to terminals in UK and Europe, and just 5% by road.

There are distribution terminals at West London (near Heathrow), Purfleet, Avonmouth, Birmingham, Nottingham, Hythe (near Fawley) and Manchester. West London is the biggest terminal. [24]

Esso also shares a terminal in Plymouth with Conoco (Mayflower Distribution Terminal) and one in Belfast with BP (Belfast Fuels Terminal). [25]

Esso has its own fleet of 100 road tankers, [26] which take the products from terminals to petrol stations and to industrial customers. Esso also uses contractors for this.

Garages get their fuel from the nearest refinery – whichever company owns it, so if you watch tankers coming out of Fawley, you will see all company liveries. When Fawley was blockaded last year, The Automobile Association said half the petrol stations on the south coast could be affected. [27] But a report in Octane Week confirms the assertion on Esso's website that 80% are supplied from Fawley – noting that the new ultra-low sulphur gasoline from Fawley was being sold at 80% of Esso's petrol stations, and the remaining 20% weren't supplied from there. [28]

Structure/Ownership

ExxonMobil is structured and managed by business activity, on a global basis, rather than by country. New ExxonMobil structure, following merger, organises into 11 separate global businesses:

  • five upstream: exploration, development, production, gas marketing, upstream research
  • four downstream: refining & supply, fuels marketing, lubricants & petroleum specialities, technology
  • chemicals
  • coal & minerals

While the move is to global organisation, there are practical (geographical) limits to the ability to do this. For example, upstream and downstream operations in the UK both have the same chairman, and are based in the same office. But the move is new, so it remains to be seen to what extent the globalisation policy is implemented.

To give an idea of their grouping, one senior manager of ExxonMobil board is responsible for all upstream divisions, another for all downstream, and another for the chemicals and coal & minerals divisions.

Relative size of these areas in ExxonMobil globally according to Exxon-Mobil Financial & Operating Review (average capital employed, 2000):

Upstream 44.6%
Downstream 31.7%
Chemicals 15.8%
Other & corporate 7.9%

Worldwide

ExxonMobil has numerous functional and service organisations. One example is ExxonMobil Development Company, responsible for overall stewardship of project development and drilling activities for the Corporation's worldwide upstream operations. There is a whole range of other companies recognisable by Exxon, Mobil and/or Esso name. Some of the companies are not so easily recognisable by name, like Imperial Oil Limited, Monetary Coal Company, Compania Minera Disputada de Las Condes Limitada (Chile), International Colombia Resources Corporation LLC (intercor) (Colombia) etc.

To get an overview of some of ExxonMobil's different companies, check out 'Our Activities' at http://www.exxonmobil.com/opsmap/index.html. The most comprehensive overview can be obtained by looking in the 'Who Owns Who' directory of North America (can be found in most libraries).
