HOUSTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) – Phillips 66 is seeking
permits to upgrade existing rail infrastructure at its Arroyo
Grande, California, refinery to take up to 20,000 barrels per
day of crude via train, Chief Executive Officer Greg Garland
told analysts on Thursday.
Garland referred to the project during a webcast
presentation at the Barclays Energy-Power Conference in New
York. A company spokesman explained further that pending permit
approval, construction would begin in mid-2014, with startup in
2015.
The project involves extending an existing rail spur at the
Arroyo Grande plant, which in tandem with Phillips 66’s Rodeo
refinery has a capacity of 120,200 barrels per day.
