The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that as of
January 1, 2013, the United States had 143 operable refineries with a
total atmospheric crude oil distillation capacity of 17.8 million barrels per calendar day (bbl/d), an increase of 0.5 million bbl/d (2.9%) since January 1, 2012.
The increase in capacity as of January 1, 2013, versus the prior year is mostly due to Motiva Enterprises' expansion of its Port Arthur, Texas, refinery and the restart of the Trainer, Pennsylvania, refinery formerly owned by Phillips 66 and now owned by Monroe Energy, a subsidiary of Delta Airlines. Motiva's Port Arthur refinery, with 600,250 bbl/d atmospheric crude oil distillation unit (ACDU) capacity, is now the largest refinery in the United States. According to Oil and Gas Journal, it is one of the ten largest refineries worldwide by crude distillation capacity. Motiva Enterprises is owned 50-50 by Shell and a unit of Saudi Aramco.
