Refinery Products & Uses
Products made in the refinery are the types most people think of when they think of an “oil company,” such as gasoline, aviation fuels, ship and utility fuels, and furnace oil/diesel fuels.
- Gasoline: Regular and premium unleaded gasoline used in passenger cars. The refinery produces reformulated and conventional gasoline for domestic and international markets.
- Jet Fuel and Kerosene: Commercial and military aviation
- Diesel Fuel and Heating Oil: Known as #2 oil. Low sulfur diesel is used in the trucking industry and in heavy-duty machinery. Heating oil is used as fuel for furnaces primarily in the northeastern U.S.
- Propane and Butane: LPG for domestic and industrial uses
- Asphalt: Road construction and roofing materials
- #6 Oil: Tanker fuel, power generation and locomotives
- Chemical Feedstocks: Ethane, propane and butane are used in the manufacture of ethylene, a major building block for chemical products. Other products include gas oils, naphthas and reformates.
- Petroleum Coke: Petroleum coke is used as fuel for power generation and cement kilns.
- Electricity: For internal consumption and sold to the domestic and industrial markets along the Houston Ship Channel.
