Sweeny Refinery
The Sweeny refinery is located in Old Ocean, Texas, about 65 miles southwest of Houston. The refinery has a crude oil processing capacity of 215 MBPD. The refinery receives crude oil primarily through ConocoPhillips’ and jointly owned terminals on the Gulf Coast, including a deepwater terminal at Freeport, Texas. Refined products are distributed throughout the midwest and southeastern United States through pipelines, barge and rail car. A natural gas liquids (NGL) processing unit and olefins plants owned and operated by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company also are located at the Sweeny complex. ConocoPhillips and PDVSA have a limited partnership that operates a 58 MBPD delayed coker and related facilities at the Sweeny refinery. ConocoPhillips is the operator of, and holds a 50 percent interest in, the Merey Sweeny, L.P. Under the terms of the agreements, PDVSA supplies the refinery with up to 165 MBPD of Venezuelan Merey or equivalent crude oil. The joint-venture coker and related units provide the capability to process heavier, lower-cost crude oil and increase light-oils production by breaking down the heaviest part of the crude barrel. http://www.conocophillips.co.uk/NR/rdonlyres/98FC7635-08F2-460F-BD27-614E5B68C196/0/factbook.pdf
