Baytown Refinery
ExxonMobil's Baytown Refinery is a major oil refinery named after and located in Baytown, Texas. It has capacity of 588,000 barrels per day (93,500 m3/d). The site first opened in 1919 and was originally operated by the Humble Oil Company. Today, it is the largest employer in the city. The plant has been expanded over the year to 3,400 acres (14 km2) of land next to the Houston Ship Channel.
The Baytown Refinery is the fifth-largest refinery in the United States by production, after the nearby Port Arthur Refinery. Baytown is also ExxonMobil's third largest refinery, only trailing Exxon's Beaumont Refinery and Jurong Island refinery in Singapore.
According to ExxonMobil's filings with the US DOE's Energy Information Agency, the unit capacities for the Baytown Refinery are presented below:
The refinery has a Nelson Complexity Index of 13.7, making it highly complex.
ExxonMobil is developing a large blue hydrogen facility at Baytown to support the refinery and sequester CO2. The project is expected to capture and store 7 million mt of CO2 per year. The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) purchased a 35% stake of this project in 2024.
The refinery site is also home to extensive petrochemical production including multi-train olefins production. The olefins plans are proposed to become users of blue hydrogen from the mega project being developed with ADNOC that will lower the petrochemical site's emissions by capturing 98% of the CO2 produced at the facility.
The refinery site has two electricity generating power plants.
The site has 3 worldscale ethylene cracking plants with the newest being commissioned in 2018 with 1.5 million tons per year of capacity and being fed with purity ethane.
