Involved in Motiva through subsidiaries Saudi Refining and Shell Oil Company, the two oil majors have decided to “pursue their independent downstream goals,” a Shell statement read.
Saudi Refining will keep the Motiva brand name and assume ownership of the US’ largest refinery, the 600,000-bpd Port Arthur facility in Texas. It will also retain 26 distribution terminals, as well as “have an exclusive license to use the Shell brand for gasoline and diesel sales in Texas, the majority of the Mississippi Valley, the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets,” according to a notice on the Motiva website.
In addition to nine Shell retail outlets and distribution terminals across Florida, Lousiana and the northeast, the Anglo-Dutch company will also take charge of the Norco and Convent refineries in Louisiana, capable of processing 240,000 and 235,000 bpd, respectively.
