Total SA, through its 100% affiliate PetroFina SA, has agreed to acquire the 35% interest held by ExxonMobil Petroleum & Chemival BVBA in Fina Antwerp Olefins.
The Fina Antwerp Olefins monomer plant in Antwerp, Belgium, processes naphtha, butane, and propane from Total’s nearby 360,000 b/d refinery.
