Chevron’s Mississippi refinery is an important part of the energy value chain, contributing to the Gulf Coast’s oil and gas production capacity.

The expansive Pascagoula Refinery plays an important role in energy security.

Chevron’s refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi, safely and reliably produces nearly 7 million gallons of gasoline and other oil products every day. It is a vital link in the energy value chain.

And during a recent interview with Bloomberg TV, Andy Walz, Chevron’s president of Downstream, Midstream and Chemicals, highlighted the refinery’s role.

did you know?

Chevron’s Pascagoula Refinery spans approximately 3,000 acres. That’s more than three times the size of New York City’s Central Park.

Three key points about the refinery:

The Pascagoula Refinery is an invaluable component in Chevron’s Gulf Coast operations. It produces essential energy from oil and gas extracted from the Gulf of America and elsewhere.
In the U.S., a new refinery has not been built in several decades, and some have closed, constraining the nation’s ability to meet demand. This makes refineries like Pascagoula even more important. Ensuring that Chevron is optimizing its operations is an important part of supporting U.S. energy security and prosperity.
Chevron supports energy policies that create jobs, increase energy security and reliability, strengthen the economy, and advance efforts to secure America’s energy future.
