Terminal Capacity

Crude Oil: Refined Products: Crude Supply Heavy crude oil from Canadian oil sands Products Produced Clean transportation fuels Ongoing Projects For full details see Wood River Refinery Project The refinery has a major project the Coker and Refinery Expansion (CORE) The CORE project is estimated to cost a total of about US$1.8 billion net to EnCana ($3.6 billion gross) and is expected to be completed over the next three years. It will: Add a 65,000 barrels-per-day (bbls/d) coker to enable processing of growing supplies of heavy crude oil Increase total crude oil refining capacity by 50,000 bbls/d to 356,000 bbls/d More than double heavy crude oil refining capacity to 240,000 bbls/d Increase the clean product yield by 10 percent to 89 percent Eliminate 40,000 bbls/d of low-value asphalt production Other Information - History 1917 - It began operation in as the Roxana Petroleum Company 2001 - Phillips acquired the refinery through purchase of Tosco 2003 - ConocoPhillips acquired Coker and other units from the Hartford Refinery 2005 - ConocoPhillips announces it is to Install Its S Zorb™ Sulfur Removal Technology
