Coffeyville Resources
Coffeyville Resources LLC, formerly known as the COOP Refinery, is a company which owns an oil refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas. The refinery is owned and operated by Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC, The refinery employs about 500 people and produces approximately 2,100,000 US gallons (7,900,000 L) of gasoline per day, and 1,700,000 US gallons (6,400,000 L) of middle distillates per day, predominantly diesel oil.
Coffeyville Resources is owned by CVR Energy Inc. (: CVI), of Sugar Land, Texas.
CVR Energy, Inc. was listed as a 2012 Fortune 500 company and was ranked No. 5 public company according to the Houston Chronicle.
The refinery was built in 1906 by the National Refining Company, which was then the second largest oil company in the United States. Built on 75 acres (30 ha), the refinery processed 2,500 barrels per day (400 m3/d) of crude oil, compared to today's 108,000-barrel-per-day (17,200 m3/d) processing capacity. In 1944, National Refining Company sold the refinery to Cooperative Refinery Association. The nickname COOP would remain for years afterward. In 1982, CRA merged with Farmland Industries. In 2000, Coffeyville Resources LLC purchased the refinery.
The plant includes a nitrogen fertilizer plant (see below) adjacent to the refinery, owned and operated by Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC. Construction began on the nitrogen fertilizer facility in 1998, and like our refinery, the plant has an interesting tale to tell. The initial build of the nitrogen fertilizer plant included shipping an existing gasification plant to Coffeyville from the West Coast. A Texaco coal gasification plant, originally located in Cool Water, California, was disassembled, refurbished and its technology converted to be able to gasify petroleum coke instead of coal. It was then reassembled to form the heart of our nitrogen fertilizer operations.
