据ICIS-MRC网站4月13日莫斯科报道，路透社(Reuters)援引美国能源巨头埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)的声明报道称，该公司正在考虑是否关闭其位于挪威的斯莱根(Slagen)炼油厂，将其改造为一个进口终端。该炼油厂的日加工能力为12万桶原油。
据埃克森美孚称，位于挪威东南部托恩斯贝格（Toensberg）附近的斯莱根坦根（ Slagentangen）炼油厂建于1961年，加工北海原油，出口量约占总产量的60%。
据该公司在挪威的Esso部门表示，现在说何时会做出最终决定还为时过早。Esso发言人安妮·福格纳称，实际上，这意味着我们将停止在该炼油厂生产石油产品，转而进口。
Esso在一份声明中表示，欧洲炼油厂的经营环境日益严峻，其特点是需求下降和竞争激烈，导致市场产能过剩。

ExxonMobil may permanently shut its oil refinery in Norway
ExxonMobil, the US energy major, is considering whether to close down its Slagen oil refinery in Norway, which has a capacity to process 120,000 barrels of crude per day, turning the site into an import terminal, reported Reuters with reference to the company's statement.
The refinery at Slagentangen near Toensberg in south-east Norway was built in 1961 and process crude oil from the North Sea, exporting about 60% of the output, according to Exxon.
It was too early to say when a final decision would be made, the company’s Esso unit in Norway said. “In practise it means that we would stop producing oil products at the refinery and instead we will import them,” Esso spokeswoman Anne Fougner said.
“Refineries in Europe operate in an increasingly challenging market, characterized by falling demand and strong competition, leading to overcapacity in the market,” Esso said in a statement.
