Here are placemarks for most of the world's crude oil refineries and their capacities. There is no way I got them all, and some are probably not in the exact location. Those include refineries that are grouped together, and in very low resolution areas.
Please point out any incorrect locations and refineries not listed (with their capacities) because help is needed especially in these areas:
Japan: Missing many, and the ones I have marked are probably not in the correct location.
China: Missing many. Mostly the smaller CNCP (PetroChina) ones.
Russia: Must be missing some.
France: Same
Italy: Same
Germany: Maybe a few here too.
Middle East: Iraq, and some smaller countries not listed.
You can see most of this in list form at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oil_refineries
I updated most of the wikipedia list to reflect my placemarks.
-------------
Note to readers: The OP (roadrunner) has not been on the BBS since December of 2005, and it is doubtful that he will make changes to the KML. If you have updated information, simply post it in this thread with an updated placemark.

Wow! That must have taken you a while.
Very interesting to see all the refineries in Louisiana & Texas that we've been hearing about on the news lately.
--------------------
All in all, using Google Earth can only help us understand our world and, more importantly, each other better. Good.

Yes, it was frustrating getting info about certain countries. I'm hoping people in those locations will help out.

The locations for the Valero and Marathon refineries should be swapped in Texas City.

Regarding brazilian refineries, Ipiranga refinery is not located in Pelotas, but in Rio Grande. Manguinhos refinery is not located near Arraial do Cabo, but in Rio de Janeiro. REMAN refinery in Manaus is located on the wrong side of the river.
If you have difficulties, let me know.

in Havana, built in the 1950's... In 1960, these were nationalized by Fidel Castro and today they are in deplorable condition.

I can't help you, RoadRunner, but I must congratulate you for the hard job.
I'd like these kind of jobs would be useful to the community ecological awareness.
Thank you!
The Earth is the oilmen hands and we still have to suffer wars cause them!
Watching from far all of this dots over the Earth is horrifying!

That is not an oil refinery, but rather, the ConocoPhillips complex that includes the Kuparuk Operations Center (KOC), Central Production Facility One (CPF-1), Kuparuk Construction Camp (KCC), and the Kuparuk Airport (NSK). Major features include the Kuparuk Spill Response Center, The Kuparuk AB and CD warehouses, the Kuparuk Topping Plant, The Kuparuk Communications Center, and the Kuparuk water and wastewater treatment plant.
This comment was typed from a room in KOC.

great effort!!! - I was planning on doing the same thing but you beat me to it and far exceeded my efforts!
A couple of corrections:
The Sunoco Marcus Hook PA refinery and the ConocoPhillips Trainer PA Refinery locations should be switched. Capacities are okay just switch the locations.
The ConocoPhillips Belle Chasse LA Refinery is incorrectly located. The correct refinery location is downstream on the Mississippi (south) and is in the lower resolution section shown on GE. Located at Alliance Revetment.
Hess Port Reading FCC complex is in NJ just south of the ConocoPhillips Linden NJ refinery.

Great work! I live in Edmonton and have worked at several of the Alberta refineries. I do have a few additions/updates for you:
1. Imperial Oil Strathcona Refinery
The location that you give is incorrect. Your placemark is a chemicals plant operated by Dow Chemicals in Fort Saskatchewan. I have added one in the accurate location which is on the East side of the city of Edmonton (there are three large painted tanks that are the distinctive red white and blue of Esso AKA Imperial Oil).
http://www.imperialoil.ca/Canada-English/Thisis/Operations/TI_O_EdmontonRefinery.asp
2. Parkland Industries Limited - Bowden Refinery
This small refinery was closed in September 2001 and had a capacity of 4,800 bpd when it operated. It is just south of Red Deer on highway 2. I've added a placemarker for it too, though I'm not sure how to add two markers to one message, so I will send a separate reply for this one. Here are a couple of articles about it:
www.parkland.ca/pdf/2000AR.pdf
http://www.cppi.ca/tech/BenchmarkGuide.pdf
3. Consumers' Co-operative Refineries Limited (CCRL)
CCRL operated a refinery in Regina, Saskatchewan at 90,000 bpd. There was already a placemark at:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Number/115694
and some details at:
http://www.ccrl-fcl.ca/current.htm
Once again, amazing work!!!
Cheers,
"Mr. PeeeeeNut"
