The Kurnell Refinery was a crude oil refinery located in Kurnell on Botany Bay, New South Wales, Australia. It had a refinery capacity of {{convert|124500|oilbbl/d}}. It was operated by Caltex, and owned by the Chevron Corporation.[1]

History

Construction began on the refinery in 1953.[2] The refinery was built in 1956 by Caltex on {{convert|174|ha|acre}} of land located in Botany Bay, close to Sydney. About 3,000 men worked at the project's various sites during the peak of construction.[1] It was further expanded in 1964 and 1973.

On 26 July 2012, Caltex announced its decision to close the refinery in the second half of 2014. Caltex said the closure would eliminate about 330 direct positions, and as many as 300 contracting jobs.[3][4] The refinery ceased operation in October 2014 and was converted into an import terminal to supply imported fuel for Australian customers.[5]

Technical features

The refinery had a capacity of {{convert|124.5|koilbbl/d}}, a number of 56 storage tanks and a staff of around 700 employees. The site of the refinery also has a {{convert|1|km|mi}} wharf that can handle ships up to 60,000 DWT.[6]
