The Wood River Refinery is an oil refinery located in Roxana, Illinois, approximately 15 mi north of St. Louis, Missouri, on the east side of the Mississippi River. The refinery is currently owned by Phillips 66 and Cenovus Energy and operated by the joint-venture company WRB Refining, LLC (WRB). WRB was formed on 1 July 2007, with Encana taking a 49% interest in Wood River and also Phillips 66's Borger refinery. Encana subsequently spun off oil sands producer Cenovus and ConocoPhillips spun off Phillips 66. In return for a 49% stake in the refinery, ConocoPhillips gained a joint interest in two Alberta oil sands (bitumen) heavy oil projects: Christina Lake (Alberta) and Foster Creek. ConocoPhillips’ interest was sold to Cenovus in May 2017, leaving Cenovus as the sole owner of the assets.[1]
The complex is capable of refining 173000 oilbbl[2] of crude oil per day. Oil is supplied from the GoM, Canada, and domestic sources through pipelines. The facility produces 85,000 oilbbl/d of gasoline along with 70,000 oilbbl/d of distillates (diesel and aviation fuel), along with petrochemical feedstocks, asphalt, and coke.
