ExxonMobil Chemical has initiated an unplanned shutdown at its cracker. A source in Singapore informed a team member, “Operations at the cracker were recently halted owing to a shortage of raw material amid supply constraints caused by geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Further details regarding the duration of the shutdown could not be ascertained.” Located in Pulau Ayer Chawan, Singapore, the cracker has an ethylene production capacity of 900,000 mt/year and propylene production capacity of 490,000 mt/year.
