    Exxon eyes upgrading UK refinery for more than $650 million

    Exxon Mobil Corp is planning to spend more than 500 million pounds ($650 million) to upgrade the UK’s largest oil refinery, Fawley, on England’s south coast, a spokesman said.

    The project at the 270,000 barrel per day refinery - representing a fifth of British refining capacity - still needs a final investment decision which is not expected before the second quarter of next year, Exxon said.

    The planned upgrade, which would include building a new hydrotreater and a new hydrogen plant, would reduce Britain’s reliance on diesel imports.
