The Project
- Project Type: Upgrading and Expansion Project
- Project Summary: The CORE project cost a total of about $3.6 billion and was completed in 2011
- The impact was to:
- 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
- Main Contractors:
- Fluor:
- Front-end engineering and design
- Contract for the construction and construction management of process, utility and offsites
