Gallup Refinery

About

The refinery near Gallup, New Mexico is located on 880 acres. The Bloomfield refinery is located on 285 acres near Farmington, New Mexico. These are the only active refineries in the Four Corners area. The combined crude oil throughput of the two refineries is approximately 40,000 barrels per day.

The Four Corners area serves as one source of raw material supply for both the Gallup and Bloomfield refineries. A locally produced, high-quality crude known as Four Corners Sweet is the primary feedstock, although the supply is supplemented with other feedstocks from outside the area.

Both refineries have crude distillation, hydrotreating for naphtha and distillate, reforming for high-octane gasoline production and fluid catalytic cracking units. In addition, the Gallup refinery has an isomerization unit to increase the octane of other gasoline streams that enhance high-octane gasoline production. The Bloomfield refinery has polymerization units to convert produced LPG's back into gasoline, while Gallup has an alkylation unit for that purpose.

The Gallup and Bloomfield refineries have similar product slates that include gasoline, diesel, propane, butane, and heavy fuel oils. Crude oil supply for our two New Mexico refineries comes primarily from the Four Corners area and is either collected by a pipeline network or delivered by our truck transports to pipeline injection points and/or refinery tankage.

The Four Corners region is the primary area for refined products from the Gallup and Bloomfield refineries. Western‚Äôs secondary markets include metropolitan Albuquerque (the largest market in New Mexico) and the northern Arizona region. [1]
