On 25.3.2011, Esso said that it was unaware of any plans by ExxonMobil (its parent) to take Esso private following a newspaper article. Interestingly, exactly a year ago, on 30.3.2010, Esso also said the same, denying any privatisation move by ExxonMobil, following an article that appeared in the Malaysian Reserve on that matter.
Business structure of Esso
The company is involved in:
1. refining and
2. marketing of petroleum products.
Esso is a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation which is the world's largest energy company. Currently, Esso's refinery is the third largest in Malaysia after Shell and Petronas.
April 1995: Esso's licensed refining capacity was upgraded to 75,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 66,000 bpd previously.
1996: A further increase in licensed capacity to 88,000 bpd
Nov 1999: Exxon merged with Mobil to form Exxon Mobil.
May 2000: Esso entered into a Shared Services Agreement with Mobil Oil Malaysia. Esso and Mobil will continue to operate as two separate companies each retaining their Esso and Mobil brand names.
Esso is also the third largest petroleum products player in Malaysia. It is perhaps important to note one major difference between Esso and its main local rival, Shell Refining. Shell Refining sells its products through its sister company, Shell Marketing, at prices determined by the Singapore free market (the so-called Singapore Postings). Unlike Shell, Esso sells directly to the consumers of government fixed prices according to automatic pricing mechanism (APM).
Revenues are mainly derived from the sale of petroleum products to domestic customers including its affiliates and competitors, and sales to ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (EMAPPL), Singapore.

ExxonMobil to add 12 petrol stations in 2011
Published: 2011/01/18
ExxonMobil is aiming to add another 10-12 petrol stations this year to the current 560.
"Last year, we opened 10 stations. For 2011, our target is about 10 to 12 stations," Esso Malaysia Bhd's head of the retail business sector, Faridah Ali, told reporters this at the launch of Exxonmobil's new Dual Fleet Card.
The new card is to complement the existing Fleet Card programme which is a convenient and value-added computerised payment method that helps companies manage their fleet and fuel expenses.
According to Faridah, with the new card, customers would get a vehicle card assigned to each vehicle and a driver card which carries a specific personal identification number.
With the card, customers can have better control for improved efficiency and cost management. -- Bernama
