Crude Supply
- The refinery's crude oil supply still comes primarily from the San Joaquin Valley.
ExxonMobil's M-70 pipeline, one of the country's most advanced, carries some of the heaviest crude oil in the world from Central California to the refinery.
Products Produced
- More than 70 percent of each barrel is refined into high quality, specially formulated low emissions gasoline and sold in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada.
- Other products of the Torrance refining process include jet fuel, diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), coke and sulfur.
Projects
-
Other Information
-
History
- 1929 - Refinery Operations begin
- 1965 - Modernization efforts result in an almost completely rebuilt refinery.
- 2000 - Torrance is the first refinery to install a pollution control device on its fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, significantly reducing emissions.
- 2005 - Exxon agrees to invest in emissions reductions after Consent Decree with the EPA
- 2015 - Exxon sells the refinery to PBF
