  • What is the processing capacity of oil refineries?
  • Some oil refineries have the capacity to process more than 400,000 barrels per day. For instance, there are six refineries in Texas and Louisiana with this kind of throughput, along with two others located in Whiting, Indiana (435,000 barrels per day) and Fort McMurray, Alberta (465,000 barrels per day).
  • Where are oil refineries located?
  • These refineries are primarily located along the Gulf Coast, in Texas and Louisiana, as well as in California, the Midwest, and the Northeast. The concentration of oil refineries along the Gulf Coast is due to the region's proximity to offshore oil fields, major shipping routes, and access to crude oil imports.
  • What was the US crude oil refining capacity in 2023?
  • In 2023, the US crude oil refining capacity reached 18.1 million barrels per day (bpd), as per a recent government report.
  • What is the total capacity of global refineries for crude oil?
  • In 2020, the total capacity of global refineries for crude oil was about 101.2 million barrels per day. There is usually an oil depot at or near an oil refinery for the storage of incoming crude oil feedstock as well as bulk liquid products.
  • Does the 2024 refinery capacity report reflect changes in refining capacity?
  • The 2024 Refinery Capacity Report only reflects changes in U.S. refining capacity in effect as of January 1, 2024. Phillips 66 formally ended petroleum refining operations at its Rodeo refinery in February 2024.
  • What are the largest oil refineries in the United States?
  • The largest oil refinery operators in the U.S. include companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66, and Valero Energy. These companies process millions of barrels of crude oil daily. After refining, the oil is distributed through pipelines, trucks, and ships, depending on the product and the destination.
