By GlobalDataCenovus president and CEO Alex Pourbaix said: “Fully owning the Toledo Refinery provides a unique opportunity to further integrate our heavy oil production and refining capabilities.
“Operating the refinery will open up additional synergies and capital efficiency opportunities, including connectivity with our nearby Lima Refinery. This transaction solidifies our refining footprint in the US Midwest and increases our ability to capture margin throughout the value chain.”
The bp-Husky Toledo Refinery is equipped to process up to 160,000bpd of crude. It produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, propane, asphalt, and other products.
Cenovus expects the transaction to provide an additional throughput capacity of 80,000bpd bringing its total refining capacity to 740,000bpd.
Upon completion of the sale, bp’s US refining portfolio will include two facilities that are strategically located to serve customers in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
