MOBIL Oil New Guinea, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation, recently commissioned a bottom loading facility at its Lae Terminal to further enhance fuel supply for its customers in Papua New Guinea as part of its ongoing K40 million investment project program.
This initiative, which is now fully operational, once again highlights Mobil Oil New Guinea’s commitment to reliably providing quality fuel to support the growing demand of its customers in Lae, the Highlands and Madang Provinces.
It follows a recent major tank investment to expand fuel supply at its Idubada Terminal in Port Moresby in 2024.
The Lae Terminal upgrade included the installation of a bottom-loading facility to complement the existing top-loading rack. Together, this combination speeds the loading process and shortens delivery times from the Lae Terminal to its customers.
“This upgrade significantly reduces truck loading times, allowing more trucks to be loaded each day at the facility. Our customers reap the benefit of enhanced availability of our high-quality fuel,” said Dinesh Sivasamboo, Chairman and Managing Director of ExxonMobil PNG Limited.
“Throughout its long history in PNG, Mobil has always been committed to implementing initiatives that will better serve our customers,” he continued.
“At our core, we are a PNG company with ExxonMobil’s unmatched global expertise and capabilities, and we continue to look for ways to strengthen and grow our business – and fuel stability – for Papua New Guinea.”
For more than a century, Mobil Oil New Guinea – through its network of terminals, branded retail service stations and wholesale customers – has been committed to the country and its people and stands ready to continue to be the country’s most trusted and reliable supplier in the decades to come.
ExxonMobil, one of the largest publicly traded international energy companies, uses technology and innovation to help meet the world’s growing energy needs.
ExxonMobil holds an industry-leading inventory of resources, is one of the largest refiners and marketers of petroleum products, and its chemical company is one of the largest in the world.
Mobil Oil New Guinea Ltd has been reliably supplying fuels and lubricants to its Papua New Guinea customers for over a century.
Established from a small distribution terminal in Rabaul in 1922, its terminal operations now extend to the National Capital District, Morobe Province and Madang Province reliably serving customers nationally through its network of branded retail service stations and wholesale distributors.
