History
- 1963 - The refinery began operations
- 1983 - The refinery expanded its crude oil processing capabilities to process and treat low-grade heavier, sour, foreign crude oil
- 2003 - The Clean Fuels Project, converted the Residuum Desulfurization (RDS) Unit from its original service of de-sulfurizing residuum. The unit is now a gas oil hydrotreater that produces ultra low-sulfur process feed for the FCC
- 2014 - The base oil production facility was completed
