The Lake Charles refinery, located in Westlake, La., has a crude oil processing capacity of 239 MBD and processes mainly heavy, high-sulfur crude oil, as well as low-sulfur and acidic crude oil. The refinery receives domestic and foreign crude oil, with a majority of its foreign crude oil being heavy Venezuelan and Mexican crude oil delivered via tanker.

The refinery produces a high percentage of transportation fuels, such as gasoline, off-road diesel fuel and jet fuel, along with home heating oil. The majority of its refined products are distributed by truck, rail car, barge or major common-carrier pipelines in the southeastern and eastern United States. In addition, refined products can be sold into export markets through the refinery’s marine terminal. The refinery facilities include a specialty coker and calciner, which produce graphite petroleum coke for the steel industry. The Lake Charles refinery supplies feedstocks to Excel Paralubes and Penreco, joint ventures that are part of the Specialty Businesses function within R&M.
