Texas City Refinery Joined Valero in 1997 Throughput capacity: 245,000 barrels per day Purchased Text Here in 1997 as part of the Basis acquisition, the Texas City Refinery dates back to 1908 and was originally built to process 1,500 barrels per day (BPD) of Oklahoma crude oil. The refinery has gone through continuous upgrades and expansions since then. Valero has invested more than $750 million in expansions and upgrades at the plant, most recently completing a new delayed coker unit and gasoline desulfurization unit. The new units allow the crude units to run lower-value, heavier-gravity crude feedstocks to produce a large slate of low-sulfur, clean fuels. Valero Texas City is located on 290 acres along the Texas City Ship Channel, and is connected to the Valero Houston Refinery by pipeline. It is the first Valero refinery to earn VPP Star Site safety status (2002), including recertifications in 2005 and 2008. 60
