Exxon Mobil has informed its trading counterparts that it will cease purchasing the Mars crude oil grade until a zinc contamination issue is resolved. This decision impacts the company's crude oil sourcing and refining operations.
The halt in purchases is a direct response to a quality control problem within the Mars crude supply chain. Such contamination can affect refinery equipment and product quality, necessitating a temporary suspension of intake.
This operational adjustment highlights the importance of crude quality in refining processes and the measures ExxonMobil takes to protect its assets and product integrity. The company will resume purchases once the contamination issue is fixed.
