Overview

Our Salt Lake City refinery began operations in 1908 and is now the largest refinery in Utah with a total crude oil refining capacity of 68,000 barrels per calendar day (bpcd).

The Salt Lake City refinery processes crude oil from Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Canada to manufacture gasoline, distillates, heavy fuel oil, natural gas liquids and petrochemicals and propane. These products are distributed by truck through a system of terminals and by pipelines.
