Husky's U.S. refining operations process a mix of different types of crude oil from various sources and are primarily focused on light sweet crude oil at the Lima, Ohio Refinery and approximately 50 percent heavy crude oil feedstock at the Toledo, Ohio Refinery.
The Husky Lima (Ohio) Refinery is a world-scale facility that produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, residual fuels and petrochemical feedstocks. The refinery produces approximately two billion gallons of refined petroleum products annually, including approximately 25 percent of the gasoline consumed in the state of Ohio.
Refinery operations are capital intensive and highly automated. The refinery is designed to operate 24/7 with a scheduled maintenance shutdown every five years.
Approximately 80 percent of crude oil processed at the refinery is domestic, with the balance from outside of North America. The gasoline, diesel and jet products are shipped to customers by pipeline, with truck and rail transportation used for most other products.
Husky has 50 percent ownership in the BP-operated refinery in Toledo, Ohio, which converts crude oil into products such as gasoline and diesel fuels, aviation fuels, propane, kerosene and asphalt.
Husky and BP have two 50/50 partnerships, a Canadian oil sands partnership operated by Husky and a U.S. refining LLC operated by BP. The Sunrise Energy Project, jointly owned by Husky and BP, is combining the production of bitumen with existing refining. This joint venture is an innovative, efficient North American energy solution that represents a responsible approach to resource stewardship.
Husky is planning to reposition the refinery to accommodate Sunrise production as its primary feedstock. Husky and BP have also sanctioned the Continuous Catalyst Regeneration Reformer Project, which will improve the refinery’s efficiency and competitiveness by reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs.
The refinery continues to advance a multi-year program to improve operational integrity and plant performance while reducing operating costs and environmental impacts.
