- All the crude oil processed at the refinery – over 100 million barrels a year – arrives by marine tanker
Products Produced
- Chevron's Pascagoula Refinery is primarily a fuels refinery, in that it mainly manufactures motor gasoline, about 130,000 barrels per day (BPD); jet fuel, 50,000 BPD; and diesel fuel, 68,000 BPD. Other products include fuel oils such as bunker fuel, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), aviation gasoline, jet fuels, petroleum coke and sulfur.
- The refinery is the leading provider of jet fuel to Tampa Airport
- Products can be supplied to the Plantation Oil Products Pipeline and the Colonial Oil Products Pipeline
Ongoing Projects
- $1.4 Billion is being invested in a new lubricants plant.
- The facility will manufacture 25,000 barrels per day of premium base oil and will be completed in 2013
Other Information

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
