- Star Enterprise, Houston, TX (United States)
Star Enterprise is a 50/50 joint venture partnership formed in 1989 between Texaco and Saudi Aramco subsidiaries. Star is the sixth largest refiner and marketer in the U.S. and operates three refineries located in Port Arthur, Texas; Convent, La; and Delaware City, Del. These three plants have a combined crude processing capacity of 600,000 b/d. Star Enterprise markets more than 5 billion gal/year of gasoline and 1.8 billion gal/year of diesel fuel through 9,000 Texaco-branded wholesale and retail outlets in 26 states in the eastern and Gulf coast regions of the U.S. Not long after Star was formed, we began making large capital investments in our refineries and in our marketing system to comply with federally mandated fuel requirements. First there was the 1993 diesel fuel specifications for on-road diesels. Then there was the roll out of reformulated gasoline (RFG) in December 1994. As marketers in the East and Gulf Coast regions, a significant portion of the marketing arena is in mandatory and optional RFG areas.
