Excellence Refined - 30 Years - Valero

Port Arthur Refinery
Joined Valero in 2005
Throughput capacity: 310,000 barrels per day
Commissioned in 1901, the Valero Port Arthur Refinery was purchased from Premcor, Inc. in 2005 and stands as the oldest site in
the Valero system. It sits strategically on 4,000 acres on the Port Arthur Ship Channel, approximately 90 miles east of Houston.
The site has the ability to process 100 percent sour crude oil, 80 percent of which can be heavy sour crude. Major investments
have strengthened its competitive edge, with coker, crude and vacuum unit expansions and a state-of-the-art hydrocracker. The
refinery’s location accommodates its extensive logistics system, which includes access to Gulf Coast water-borne crude oil via the
refinery docks or through the Nederland, Texas, terminals of Sun or Oil Tanking.
