Exxon launches $2B refinery expansion, making the Beaumont site a behemoth
. It increased the site’s capacity to more than 600,000 barrels per day, making it the nation’s second-largest refinery, behind Motiva’s Port Arthur refinery, which can process 630,000 barrels per day.
The new unit adds 50 jobs to the site and processes light crude from the Permian Basin into diesel, predominantly, Dendy said. “It's a pretty phenomenal experience and one that’s also unprecedented, to be able to start up a medium-size refinery,” she said, “something that hasn't been done in quite some time.”The expansion comes as the company works to tighten up its equipment and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Dendy said the site has reduced its emissions to the tune of taking around 140,000 cars off the road.
