Access to fuel supply for Morobe Province, Madang Province and the Highlands Region is now being made easier by Mobil Oil New Guinea, who is a subsidiary of the ExxonMobil Corporation. Mobil Oil New Guinea 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 provide quality fuel to support the growing demands of customers in Lae city, the Highlands Region and Madang Province. 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. Mr. Dinesh Sivasamboo, Chairman and Managing Director of ExxonMobil PNG Limited highlighted that 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,” Mr. Sivasamboo said. He further added that throughout its long history in PNG, Mobil has always been committed to implementing initiatives that will better serve their customers. “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.
