The U.S. refining industry has undergone rapid transformation in recent years, driven by shifting market conditions, evolving regulations, and increasing reliance on export markets. In response, American refineries have adapted with speed and flexibility to remain competitive in an evolving dynamic environment.
To keep pace with a rapidly evolving refining landscape, industry stakeholders need data on U.S. refineries that is accurate and can be relied on to make strategic decisions. To this end, ADI has created the ADI U.S. Refinery Database by bringing together and validating information from a broad range of public sources, including company disclosures, government records, and trade journals. The ADI U.S. Refinery Database for 2025 provides information including company and operator details, geographic location data such as Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs), state, and city, as well as total refinery capacity and capacity by process units. Giving users the tools needed to make strategic decisions.
U.S. refining capacity trends
Over the past year, overall U.S. refining capacity has seen little change, which shows a level of production stability in the industry. However, just because the big picture is stable doesn’t mean nothing’s happening under the surface.
A few specific refineries for example have seen changes in the past year. Phillips 66 began transitioning its Rodeo refinery to focus more on renewable and biofuels. On the other hand, Chevron completed an expansion at its Pasadena refinery that boosted its processing capacity for lighter crude by 15%, enabling it to process more of its own Permian crude oil production more efficiently.
