All 657 crude oil refineries listed in the Oil & Gas Journal 2006 Worldwide Refining Survey have been included on this map. Each marker includes the refinery name, survey number, crude capacity, website link, Wikipedia link, company logo and facility image. If no image was found, defaults are displayed. If any errors and/or missing info is spotted, please post a correction. An older version of this is in the archived section; however all the previously posted corrections have been included. I am an industry insider and I will do my best to provide updates and corrections. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the hard work fillurtank.
I have a couple of corrections for you. Perhaps the O&G database is out of date.
Thailand
Your placemark for 481 - PTT PLC - Bangchak, Bangkok is actually PTTAR Rayong Refinery. This used to be Shell Rayong Refinery. The capacity is wrong as well. It should be 145,000 BPD
Thailand
I am going to try and attach the correct placemark for PTT PLC - Bangchak, Bangkok to this.
Thailand
The database is missing PTT-IRPC I will try and attach it with the Bangchak placemark. Capacity is 215,000 BPD
This link gives you further information on the Thai Refineries and I believe the capacities given here are the rated capacities and are correct although I do know a few are running higher than the rated numbers.

Also if you do go to this web page, ignore SPRC (ARC). It is a site with a name identity crisis. Leave the name as is for now. PTT may be spinning it off soon.
Cheers
Willy

Willy -
Thanks for the update on the Thai refineries. The placemarks here are based on the Oil & Gas Journal Refining Survey which compiles info directly from the oil companies. Since some plants are more (or less) than full refineries, the survey establishes the criteria for what qualifies as a refinery.
The plant sites and names are taken directly from the survey. but the listing does not provide the exact GPS coordinates. This is where some familiarity of the industry and the location are needed to spot each plant in Google Earth. So the names are already established but the location could be incorrect. Any help on placement is much appreciated.
Soon this file will be updated with the latest O&GJ survey which comes out each December and perhaps the name changes you refer to will be in the listing.
Regards, Mark
(Note: the PTT PLC - Bangchak, Bangkok Refinery location has been updated in the master file in the original post.)

Hi Mark,
You raise an interesting question that I would not mind discussing sometime off the board, what constitutes a refinery.
The PTTAR Rayong Refinery most certainly qualifies and has been on the O&GJ list previously ( http://www.seen.org/db/Dispatch?action-ProjectWidget:643-detail=1 ) for further some details. IRPC is an integrated refining/petrochem plant but also qualifies as refinery ( http://www.thailistedcompany.com/ir/irpc/web/show.cgi?content=business& ).
the O&GJ is only one source of data for refineries. Another example is that Essar in India is also missing yet Philippine Petroleum Corp, an asphalt plant qualifies? At least It's ex-neighbor, Caltex is off the list...lol.
Anyway, I have a couple of links you might like:
The DOE EIA world capacity listing by country:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/international/iea2006/table36.xls
(Even some of their data is wrong...lol)
And very surprisingly, I have found this to be quite accurate given the source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oil_refineries
And if you are interested in an EIA spreadsheet of all the US refineries broken down to the processes and their respective capacities, you can get it here. I would consider this to be 99.9% accurate due to DOE regulatory responsibilities in the US.

Cheers

Willy,
Although I applaud your enthusiasm, the reason I picked the Oil & Gas Journal list is so that we wouldn't have to get into discussions about what 'is' or 'is not' a refinery. The O&GJ has been around for quite a while and it is the de facto standard for the industry. Their surveys have long been the best source for comprehensive world-wide refinery information. There are other lists and other more in-depth studies but none that cover everything as well. If you think a listing is wrong, please take it up with the company or with O&GJ, not me.
Best Regards,
Mark
