The Garyville Refinery is the 3rd largest
San Francisco Plantation property, which was designated a National Historic Landmark
in 1974.
Construction began in 1973 by ECOL, Ltd. Construction was completed in 1976, and the refinery was purchased by
Marathon Oil Company
. Since then, the refinery has been expanded on multiple occasions, most recently with the $3.9 billion Garyville Major Expansion (GME) Project, completed in 2009. This, along with subsequent debottlenecking, increased capacity by 234,000 barrels per day (37,200 m3/d).
Garyville Refinery operations consist of crude
sour crude oils to produce gasoline, diesel, asphalt, propylene, isobutane, propane, fuel-grade coke, and sulfur
. Feedstocks are supplied via pipeline, truck, barge, rail, and ocean tanker.
The refinery employs 900 employees and 600 contract workers.[1]
