About the Wilmington Refinery
The Valero Wilmington Refinery was commissioned in 1969 and has had three major expansions to become a fully
integrated refinery and several upgrades to meet clean-fuel standards. The Wilmington refinery processes a blend of
California and foreign crude oil, as well as unfinished feedstocks from local and foreign sources. Given its coking and
desulfurizing capabilities, it is particularly well-suited to process lower-cost heavy, high-sulfur crude oils and feedstocks.
The refinery also produces 15 percent of the asphalt supply in southern California. Refined products are distributed
from the Wilmington refinery through a network of third-party pipelines and terminals in southern California, Nevada and
Arizona, and then on to wholesale and retail customers.
