*Only refineries with atmospheric crude oil distillation capacity.

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration/EIA, Ranking of U.S. Refineries, Updated/Reviewed June 2011.
(ExxonMobil's Baytown Refinery is the largest oil refinery in the United States. Also, the Baytown area which is home to several of ExxonMobil's integrated sites---including the Baytown Refinery, Baytown Chemical Plant, Baytown Olefins Plant, Mont Belvieu Plastics Plant, Americas Area Engineering Office and Baytown Technology & Engineering Complex---is the largest petroleum & petrochemical complex in the United States. Texas is home to 26 refineries, with a total capacity of 4.72 million barrels per day. Louisiana is home to 19 refineries, with a total capacity of 3.22 million barrels per day. And California is home to 20 refineries, with a total capacity of 1.96 million barrels per day. Nearly half---49%---of U.S. refinery distillation capacity is located in the Gulf Coast region, i.e., PAD district 3 comprising Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. January 2011 U.S. refining capacity of 17.7 million barrels per day, excluding the Virgin Islands, reached the highest level recorded since 1982---please see EIA, Today in Energy, Jun 29, 2011, here. Also, please see "Top 20 Largest Refining Companies/Refiners in the U.S. as of Jan 1, 2011;" "World's Top 25 Largest Refining Companies, Jan 1, 2011 -- OGJ;" "Top 10 Largest Refining Companies in Asia, the USA and Western Europe -- OGJ;" and "World's Top 21 Largest Oil Refineries -- OGJ." Update 1:  Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Saudi Aramco became co-owners of the largest U.S. refinery on Thursday when a new crude distillation unit at their joint-venture Motiva Enterprises Port Arthur, Texas, plant [ranked 15th as of Jan 1, 2011, above -- D.R.] received oil for the first time, said Shell's Chief Financial Officer. The 325,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) atmospheric crude distillation unit that started processing on Thursday combines with existing crude units to give Motiva's Port Arthur, Texas, refinery a total crude oil refining capacity of 600,000 bpd, said Shell Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry during the company's first quarter earnings call. […] With the startup of the new Port Arthur crude unit, Exxon Mobil Corp's 560,640 bpd Baytown, Texas, refinery becomes the nation's second-largest refinery---please see "Motiva Port Arthur refinery becomes U.S. largest - Shell," Reuters, Apr 26, 2012. Update 2: But by far the biggest refining story in North America in 2012 centered on the massive expansion at Motiva Enterprise LLC's Port Arthur, Tex., refinery. The 325,000 bpd, $10 billion expansion, largest at a US refinery in nearly 40 years and designed for feedstock flexibility, was dedicated on May 31, raising capacity to 600,000 bpd and making it the largest US refinery. On June 9, 2012, however, the new crude distillation unit sprung leaks traced to massive corrosion; a fire ensued and the expansion was shut down. Motiva has since traced the problem to faulty design. The unit will not restart before the end of first-quarter 2013, if then---please see Warren R. True and Leena Koottungal, "Asia, Middle East lead modest recovery in global refining," OGJ, Dec 3, 2012 -- D.R.)
