Chevron announces expansion

PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Chevron's Pascagoula Refinery will begin construction of a $1.4 billion lubricants manufacturing facility at the refinery, officials said today. The project will generate about 1,000 job over the next two years of construction and about 20 permanent positions for the project. The plant would produce 25,000 barrels a day of oil that would be used in the manufacturing of high-performance lubricants, such as motor oils, for consumer and commercial use.
