The Reichstett Refinery

The Reichstett Vendenheim refinery is located on a 650-hectare site in Alsace, France, near the city of Strasbourg, about 5 kilometres from the River Rhine. The refinery has a total crude oil throughput capacity of 85,000 barrels per day. The refinery was originally constructed in 1963.

Crude oil deliveries to the refinery are via the SPSE pipeline from Fos-sur-Mer in the South of France. Products are distributed primarily in the geographic region surrounding the refinery via truck and rail. The refinery also has product pipelines and connections to the Rhine for distribution by barge.

Crude is supplied from the Mediterranean, Africa, Baltic Region, Latin America, Middle East as well as the North Sea. Crude oil is delivered to the Fos-sur-Mer terminal on the Mediterranean coast of France and shipped via pipeline. This is the same terminal and pipeline that services Petroplus' Cressier refinery.

Reichstett is connected via pipeline, barge, rail and road to its local markets and has the ability to export to other regions when the opportunity arises.
