Refining Operations
At the end of 2024, the company had a refining network capable of processing 1.8 million barrels per day. Operable capacity at December 31, 2024, and daily refinery inputs for the company and affiliate refineries for 2022 through 2024, are summarized in the table below. Average crude unit distillation capacity utilization was 87.9 percent in 2024 and 89.8 percent in 2023.
At U.S. refineries, crude unit distillation capacity utilization, which includes all crude oil and other inputs, averaged 86.6 percent in 2024, compared with 90.8 percent in 2023. Chevron processes both imported and domestic crude oil in its U.S. refining operations. Imported crude oil accounted for approximately 60 percent of Chevron’s U.S. refinery inputs in both 2024 and 2023.
In the United States, the company continued work on projects aimed at improving refinery flexibility and reliability. In 2024, the company completed the upgrade of the Pasadena Refinery, which is expected to increase light crude oil throughput capacity to 125,000 barrels per day with a phased start-up through first-quarter 2025. This project should allow the company to process more equity crude from the Permian Basin, supply more products to customers in the U.S. Gulf Coast and realize synergies with the company’s Pascagoula Refinery.
Outside the United States, the company has interests in three large refineries in Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Singapore Refining Company (SRC), a 50 percent-owned joint venture, has a total capacity of 290,000 barrels of crude per day and manufactures a wide range of petroleum products. The 50 percent-owned GS Caltex (GSC) Yeosu Refinery in South Korea remains one of the world’s largest refineries with a total crude capacity of 800,000 barrels per day. The company’s 60.6 percent-owned refinery in Thailand, Star Petroleum Refining Public Company Limited (SPRC), continues to supply high-quality petroleum products into regional markets.
