HOUSTON, Texas (April 26, 2007) -- ExxonMobil Chemical today announced the
completion of a debottleneck project at the Beaumont Synthetics plant that
increases by 40 percent the capacity to produce SpectraSyn Ultra™ High VI high
viscosity polyalphaolefins (PAO). The expansion will help meet increasing
market demand for the advanced high viscosity PAO, used to create a wide range
of high-performance synthetic fluids.

high-performance synthetic fluids for lubricants and specialty fluids
markets,” said Page Greenwood, Synthetics Global PAO marketing manager.
