EXXON Mobil Corp says that one worker was killed and another
critically injured late on Monday during maintenance work at its
Singapore Jurong refinery.
Exxon Mobil said in a statement on Tuesday that two contractors
were found unconscious in an enclosed space filled with
nitrogen.
A 34-year-old Indian national died later at a hospital while the
other worker is in critical condition.
The company said it is cooperating with authorities to
investigate the cause of the incident.
Exxon Mobil said it suspended maintenance at the 605,000 barrels
per day capacity plant, which manufactures a wide range of fuels,
lubricants and speciality products that are sold in Singapore and
exported to Asia.
