McKee Refinery

The refinery is joined by third-party pipelines to major crude oil centers in Cushing, Okla., and Midland, Texas.
The McKee refinery also has pipeline access at Wichita Falls, Texas, to major third-party pipelines that transport crude oil from the Texas Gulf Coast and from major West Texas oil fields into the mid-continent region.
The McKee crude system, located in Sunray, Texas, has 72,000 barrels per day of throughput capacity and supplies approximately 40% of the crude oil processed at Valero’s McKee refinery. The system consists of more than 200 miles of pipelines, 20 crude oil truck unloading sites with lease automatic custody transfer units, and approximately 240,000 barrels of storage capacity.

Produces a wide variety of refined petroleum products including gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, asphalt, carbon black oil, sulfur, sulfuric acid and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

Valero plans to expand the crude unit capacity of its McKee refinery by 25,000 barrels per day. The refinery will process West Texas Intermediate crude oil from Midland to feed the increased charge rate. The expansion project, which will take place over the next three years, will increase the amount of crude oil available to be processed at the McKee refinery to 195,000 bpd
