The Los Angeles Refinery consists of two facilities linked by pipeline located five miles apart in Carson and Wilmington, California, approximately 15 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The Carson facility serves as the front end of the refinery by processing crude oil, and the Wilmington facility serves as the back end of the refinery by upgrading the intermediate products to finished products. Refinery facilities include crude distillation, naphtha reforming, fluid catalytic cracking, alkylation, hydrocracking, and delayed coking units. The refinery produces a high percentage of transportation fuels.
The refinery produces California Air Resources Board (CARB)-grade gasoline. Other products produced include fuel-grade petroleum coke. Refined petroleum products are distributed to customers in California, Nevada and Arizona by pipeline and truck.

Community Advisory Panel
Year established: 1995
The Los Angeles Refinery Community Advisory Panel (CAP) was launched in 1995. The goal of the CAP is to create an atmosphere of open communication and partnership with neighboring community leaders. The CAP is instrumental in helping us provide information to stakeholders and hear from them on issues or concerns. Each CAP meeting features a brief presentation on refinery operations, a health and safety update, a community relations update, a question and answer session and an opportunity for community leaders to talk about their own activities.
The CAP is comprised of approximately 80 community leaders including educators, neighbors, public safety officers, elected officials, representatives of nonprofit organizations and neighborhood councils from the areas surrounding our Carson and Wilmington facilities.
Meetings are held quarterly.
