El Paso Refinery
El Paso Refinery Home | Community Engagement
Overview
Our El Paso refinery is located approximately three miles east of downtown El Paso, Texas. The refinery was originally two facilities with the north portion built by Chevron in 1928, and the south portion built by Texaco in 1931. The operations of both sites were modernized over the years, and the two plants were combined in 1993.
The El Paso refinery has a crude oil refining capacity of approximately 133,000 barrels per calendar day (bpcd). The refinery processes sweet and sour crudes into gasoline, distillates, heavy fuel oil, propane, asphalt and natural gas liquids and petrochemicals, and has access to the Permian Basin shale region. Products are delivered from the El Paso refinery by truck, rail, and pipeline.
