The Valero Meraux Refinery, situated in St. Bernard Parish, around 15 miles southeast of New Orleans on the banks of the Mississippi River, is a facility that processes both sour and sweet crude oils. With approximately 260 dedicated employees, the refinery has a daily production capacity of 135,000 barrels, specializing in the production of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and high-sulfur fuel oil.
By leveraging its strategic location and access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the Valero Meraux Refinery efficiently receives crude oil at its dock and distributes finished products via the Colonial pipeline. Moreover, its proximity to the Valero St. Charles Refinery, located about 40 miles away, enables seamless integration of feedstocks and facilitates blending of refined petroleum products.
The commitment of the Valero Meraux Refinery extends beyond its operational activities. The facility actively engages with the local community through various initiatives, including extensive volunteering efforts by employees, substantial donations to support children in the neighboring areas, and partnerships to contribute to environmental conservation and coastal restoration projects in Louisiana.
