Chevron Corp. has completed a retrofit to its Pasadena Refinery. The retrofit is part of the company's Light Tight Oil Project and increases product flexibility and processing capacity of lighter crudes at the facility to 125,000 bbl/d, the company announced Dec. 10.
Subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. Inc. acquired the refinery in Pasadena, Texas, in 2019 with the intent to expand its Gulf Coast refining system to process more equity crude from the Permian Basin.
“This refinery now firmly integrates our upstream and downstream businesses as we aim to optimize the value chain,” said Chevron Manufacturing President Chris Cavote in the press release.
Phased start-up of the asset is expected to last through the first quarter of 2025 as products are developed to specification.
Upon start up, the refinery will also begin producing jet fuel and exporting gas oil.
