The San Francisco refinery is composed of two facilities linked by a 200-mile pipeline. The Santa Maria facility is located in Arroyo Grande, Calif., while the Rodeo facility is in the San Francisco Bay area. The combined facilities have a total crude oil processing capacity of 120 MBD.

The refinery processes mainly heavy, high-sulfur crude oil. The refinery receives crude oil from California and foreign sources by tanker. Semirefined liquid products from the Santa Maria facility are sent by pipeline to the Rodeo facility for upgrading into finished petroleum products. A high proportion of the refinery’s production is transportation fuel, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. The refinery produces CARB gasoline, using ethanol, to meet government-mandated oxygenate requirements. Refined products are distributed by pipeline, rail car, truck and barge to customers in California.

Comments

  • The refinery sits on the former site of the town of Oleum, which was located south of Tormey and north of I-80. The mansion of Patrick Tormey -- owner of most of the land in this area during the 19th century -- also stood near Oleum.
  • Sure wish the stink would be less, living in Crockett can be a drag when it smells like rotten eggs half the summer. Is the refinery addressing this problem?
