Motiva Enterprises Adds Group III Base Oils to STAR Portfolio

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Motiva Enterprises LLC announced today it has expanded its Motiva STAR
base oils portfolio to include Group III premium base oils. Motiva’s
Group III base oil products, STAR HVI 4 and STAR HVI 6, are manufactured
and shipped from the Port Arthur Refinery – the largest base oil plant
in the western hemisphere with a capacity of more than 40,000 barrels of
base oils a day.

“Base oil customers are increasingly looking for a one-stop supplier for
all their base oil requirements,” said Bryan Schorzman, general manager
of base oils for Motiva. “Broadening our portfolio to include Group III
product offerings has further strengthened our position as the base oil
supplier of choice. Our customers, who count on our proven manufacturing
reliability, world-class quality and unparalleled technical support, can
now blend all their major products using only Motiva base oils.”

With the start-up of Group III commercial sales, Motiva becomes the
largest domestic producer of Group III base oils in the United States,
enabling customers to benefit from NAFTA tax advantages and
substantially shorter supply cycle times. Motiva will post its Group III
pricing beginning in December.
