Royal Dutch Shell sold the refinery, established in 1918, to the GoC in 1985
Total crude processing capacity of 320,000 bbls/day; typical secondary processing capacity of 215,000 bbls/day
10 private jetties, able to accept tankers up to 500,000 bbls with max. 80,000 DWT
FCC unit with alkylation, two thermal cracking units and a semi-regenerative reformer
Three crude blocks:
CD-2A: heavy crudes/fuels
CD-2B: very heavy crude, naphthenic lubes/asphalt
CD-3: light/medium crude, fuels and Group I base oils
CD-3 in fuels mode can process up to 208,000 bbls/day
IMO 2020: light and medium sweet crude on CD-3 could produce 0.5% and lower sulfur bunkers
Possibility to create import of high-sulfur VGO that could be processed in the 27,000 bbls/day VGO hydrotreater (MHC) to exploit the anticipated widening of low-sulfur vs. high-sulfur VGO market price differentials
