Three Rivers Refinery<br />

Joined <strong>Valero</strong> in 2001<br />

Throughput capacity: 100,000 barrels per day<br />

Located halfway between San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas, the <strong>Valero</strong> Three Rivers Refinery, began operations in 1974 with<br />

the commissioning of a crude unit and has had several major expansions and upgrades since then. The refinery is located on about<br />

400 acres inside the town of Three Rivers, Texas, and is connected by pipeline to the <strong>Valero</strong> Corpus Christi Refinery complex.<br />

<strong>Valero</strong> acquired the site in 2001 as part of its purchase of six refineries from Ultramar Diamond Shamrock. The refinery holds a<br />

VPP Star Site safety certification and is the recipient of <strong>Valero</strong>’s Chairman’s Safety Award (2002, 2006, 2008) and the Chairman’s<br />

Environmental Award (2007).<br />
