Chemical plant The site also houses a Chemical plant chemical facility operated by Exxon Mobil and Nalco Holding Company Nalco . History The refinery was established in 1921 by the Atlantic Gulf and West Indies Company . The site was chosen because a large amount of land was available for development, as the area was not heavily populated, and because of Fawley s position on the Solent . This provided access to the large amount of water used in the refining process, and also made it possible for crude oil to be brought to the site in ocean tankers by sea.
