Project Description:

Motiva Crude Expansion Project, a 325,000 barrel per day (BPD) refinery expansion at its Port Arthur, Texas facility, is now the country’s largest oil refinery and one of the largest in the world.

With more than 14,000 people working on the project at peak construction and more than 300 new permanent jobs, the expansion bolstered Motiva’s position as one of Port Arthur’s largest employers and a leading revenue source for the city, county and local public schools.  The overall economic impact of the project in the region has been estimated in excess of $17 billion.
