Welcome to BP Texas City Refinery
What we do
BP Texas City is the world’s most complex refinery. As BP’s largest refinery in the world and the third-largest refinery in the US, BP Texas City is capable of processing approximately 460,000 barrels of crude oil each day. This oil is refined into about 11 million gallons of gasoline. Located just south of Houston, the plant includes 29 oil-refining units and four chemical units on a 1,200-acre site. BP Texas City has the capacity to satisfy 3% of the gasoline demand in the U.S.— enough to fully fuel seven cars every second.
We’re investing in a bright future for BP. We’ve put more than $1 billion in the Texas City refinery. Our Focus on the Future program, representing more than 28 major initiatives over the next five to seven years, includes the areas of leadership and technical training, information technology, refining, HSSE technology and safety upgrades.
We employ more than 1,900 full- and part-time workers and more than 2,000 contractors in a variety of disciplines, including engineering, human resources and development, finance and economics, and procurement and supply chain management. New employees can look forward to a smooth transition into the culture at BP Texas City, with a networking support program that connects new hires with key employees and resources.

The refinery has an outstanding internal communications system. We’ve created an internal TV network and an active intranet site that promote open access to information. BP Texas City supports a positive, integrated culture that finds strength in its diversity. Teamwork and community are very important at BP Texas City. When Hurricane Katrina displaced thousands of Louisiana residents in 2005, employees joined together to welcome evacuees by giving financial contributions, opening their homes to families and donating food, clothing and other essential items.
