• As of March 2010, Chevron announced that it was looking for a buyer for the refinery. Like all gasoline oriented refineries in Europe, a market dominated by diesel, the refinery is not as profitable as it should be given its high complexity.

History

• The refinery was initially owned by the Regent Oil Company, a large domestic marketer of Trinidad-produced oils.
• Regent was fully acquired by Texaco in 1956 (although the brand name was only phased out in the UK in favour of Texaco in the late 1960s).
• 1982 - A fluid catalytic cracker came on stream
• Today the refinery is owned and branded by the Chevron Corporation, as a result of their acquisition of Texaco.
• 2011 - Chevron has reached an agreement with Valero Energy Corporation to sell the refinery
• 2011 - Four contractors killed in an explosion
