Occupational exposure to benzene at the Exxonmobil Refinery in Baytown, TX (1978–2006)
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2011Co-Authors: Shannon H. Gaffney, Marisa L. Kreider, Ken M. Unice, Julie M. Panko, Amanda M. Burns, Lindsay E. Booher, Richard H Gelatt, Dennis J. PaustenbachAbstract:Although occupational benzene exposure of refinery workers has been studied for decades, no extensive analysis of historical industrial hygiene data has been performed focusing on airborne concentrations at specific refineries and tasks. This study characterizes benzene exposures at the Exxonmobil Baytown, TX, refinery from 1978 to 2006 to understand the variability in workers' exposures over time and during different job tasks. Exposures were grouped by operational status, job title, and tasks. More than 9000 industrial hygiene air samples were evaluated; approximately 4000 non-task (>3 h) and 1000 task-related (

Airborne concentrations of benzene for dock workers at the Exxonmobil refinery and chemical plant, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA (1977-2005).
Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment & Health, 2010Co-Authors: Thomas E. Widner, Marisa L. Kreider, Ken M. Unice, Julie M. Panko, Amanda M. Burns, Lindsay E. Booher, Shannon H. Gaffney, Marshall, Gelat Rh, Dennis J. PaustenbachAbstract:Objectives Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil and natural gas (0.1–3.0% by volume). Materials that are refined from crude oil and natural gas contain some residual benzene. Few datasets have appeared in the peer-reviewed literature characterizing exposures to benzene at specific refineries or during specific tasks. In this study, historical samples of airborne benzene collected from 1977–2005 at the Exxonmobil Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA, docks were evaluated. Methods Workers were categorized into 11 job titles, and both non-task (≤180 min sample duration) and task-related (

Toxicology and Industrial Health, 2010Co-Authors: Marisa L. Kreider, Ken M. Unice, Julie M. Panko, Amanda M. Burns, Dennis J. Paustenbach, Lindsay E. Booher, Richard H Gelatt, Shannon H. GaffneyAbstract:While petroleum industry studies have indicated low benzene exposure potential for refinery workers, most provide limited data for assessing job or task-related benzene exposures. This study characterizes job and task-specific airborne benzene concentrations and variability over time for the Exxonmobil refinery in Joliet, Illinois from 1977 to 2006. A database of 2289 industrial hygiene air samples, including 1145 non-task (≥180 min) personal samples and 480 task-related (

CO2 management at Exxonmobil’s LaBarge field, Wyoming, USA
Energy Procedia, 2011Co-Authors: P.e. Michael E. Parker, Scott Northrop, Jaime A. Valencia, Robert E. Foglesong, William T. DuncanAbstract:Abstract Production of natural gas from the LaBarge field in southwest Wyoming began in 1986. This gas contains high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and from the very beginning, Exxonmobil has successfully implemented several technologies and approaches to effectively manage the substantial volumes of CO 2 associated with its production. Many of the technologies and approaches used for managing CO 2 at LaBarge are examples of technologies and approaches being proposed for use in carbon capture and storage (CCS) by other industries. The Shute Creek Treating Facility (SCTF) processes the gas produced from the LaBarge field. The SCTF handles the lowest hydrocarbon content natural gas commercially produced in the world. The gas composition entering Shute Creek is 65% CO 2 , 21% methane, 7% nitrogen, 5% hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and 0.6% helium. The SCTF separates CO 2 , methane, and helium for sale and removes hydrogen sulfide for disposal. Most of the CO 2 captured at Shute Creek is used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). EOR is consistently cited as one of the most viable early opportunities for large scale implementation of CCS. Exxonmobil’s LaBarge operation is the largest deployment of this approach to CCS in the world today. Currently Exxonmobil provides 4 to 5 million tonnes per year of CO 2 for EOR. Ongoing facility expansion will increase this capacity to over 7 million tonnes per year in 2010. A concentrated acid gas stream of about 60% hydrogen sulfide and 40% CO 2 is injected into a carefully selected section of the same reservoir from which it was produced, safely disposing of the hydrogen sulfide along with approximately 400,000 tonnes of CO 2 per year. Other technologies and approaches that have reduced CO 2 emissions include the Exxonmobil patented low BTU fuel co-generation system that substantially reduces CO 2 emissions when compared to emissions from purchased power. Cumulatively, through the application of these technologies at LaBarge, Exxonmobil will have the capacity to capture and manage over 75% of the CO 2 produced from the LaBarge field. Additionally, new technologies are being developed that may provide additional reductions in emissions, either at this site or at others with similarly challenged production streams. Construction of a commercial demonstration facility for Exxonmobil’s Controlled Freeze Zone TM (CFZ) gas treatment technology has been completed at Shute Creek and operations are about to begin. The CFZ TM technology allows the single step separation of CO 2 and other contaminants from a natural gas stream without the use of solvents or absorbents. Its successful commercial demonstration would enable the development of increasingly sour gas resources around the world by substantially reducing gas treatment and geo-sequestration costs from these sources.
