Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Salt Lake City, state of Utah, USA
Capacity: 63,000 barrels per day (bpd)
Start-up Year: 2017
The Salt Lake City Refinery began operations in 1908 and is now the largest in Utah with a total crude-oil capacity of 58,000 barrels per day (bpd). The refinery processes crude oil from Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Canada to manufacture gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, heavy fuel oils and liquefied petroleum gas. These products are distributed through a system of terminals and pipelines, primarily to markets in Utah, Idaho and eastern Washington, with some product delivered to Nevada and Wyoming. The refinery also supplies jet fuel to the Salt Lake City International Airport. The refinery supplies Tesoro’s network of Tesoro®, Shell®, and USA Gasoline™ stations mostly in Utah, Idaho and Nevada.
Located about 70 miles north of Seattle on the picturesque Puget Sound, Anacortes Refinery has a total crude-oil capacity of 120,000 barrels per day (bpd). The refinery primarily supplies gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel to markets in Washington and Oregon, and manufactures heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas and asphalt. It receives crude feedstock via pipeline from Canada, by rail from North Dakota and the central U.S. and by tanker from Alaska and foreign sources.
The Anacortes Refinery ships gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel through a third-party pipeline system that serves western Washington and Oregon. The facility delivers refined products, including CARB gasoline and components for it, through our marine terminal, to ships and barges. Additionally, Tesoro operates refined products terminals at Anacortes, Port Angeles and Vancouver, Wash.
Timeline:
• Expansion project completed in 2015 retooled the refinery to process more Utah waxy crude which has less sulfur resulting in lower refinery emissions and higher quality lower sulfur fuel
• Reduced emissions by installing ultra-low NOx burners
• Gasoline Hydrotreater restarted in 2013, resulting in a net reduction in vehicle SO2 emissions
• Tail Gas Treating project completed in 2015 reduced SO2 emissions
• Wet Gas Scubber project to be completed in 2017 will reduce both SO2 and NOx emissions.
