The Coryton Refinery

The Coryton refinery is located on a 589-hectare site in the Southeastern United Kingdom approximately 40 kilometers east of London on the Thames Estuary. It was originally commissioned in 1953 by the Vaccuum Oil Company, a subsidiary of Mobil, and bought by Petroplus in May of 2007. The refinery is an integrated atmospheric-vacuum distillation, fluid catalytic cracking refinery with a total throughput capacity of 220,000 barrels per day.

The Coryton Refinery is able to process a significant volume of intermediate feedstocks sourced from other locations and also provides additional feedstocks for processing at other facilities.

The refinery's crude oil supply arrives via the five operational jetties located on site.

The Coryton refinery's products are distributed primarily in the southern United Kingdom with the exception of gasoline and fuel oil, portions of which are exported to other regions. We typically sell the majority of our output to oil majors, resellers, industry and retail petrol stations.

Products are shipped from the Coryton refinery's own on-site truck-loading rack, railcar loading facilities, oil product pipeline and marine facilities. This enables stable distribution into the local markets.
