United States: EIA refinery capacity
Atmospheric crude distillation capacity as of 1 January 2026 from the EIA Refinery Capacity Report. Operable capacity is operating plus idle capacity.
- Operable
- 18,160,493 b/cd
- Operating
- 18,126,493 b/cd · 99.8%
- Idle
- 34,000 b/cd
Charge capacity in barrels per stream day for the current year; site counts include only refineries reporting the unit. The EIA report lists 130 US refineries; 56 are matched to a mapped site.
From crude oil to products
A simplified refinery: crude is heated and separated by boiling range in an atmospheric column. Heavier streams go to vacuum distillation and conversion units; products are then treated and blended.
- Gasoline
- Light fraction blended with reformate, alkylate and isomerate into motor fuel.
- Diesel and gas oil
- Middle distillate desulfurized for road, rail, marine and off-road engines.
- Jet fuel and kerosene
- Middle distillate treated to aviation or lamp-oil specifications.
- LPG
- Propane and butane from the top of the column; used for heating, cooking and petrochemicals.
- Fuel oil and residue
- Heavy stream used as marine or industrial fuel, or upgraded in conversion units.
- Naphtha
- Feed for catalytic reforming and for steam crackers that make ethylene and propylene.
- Asphalt and bitumen
- Vacuum residue used for road paving and roofing.
Counts of mapped sites whose OSM product tag lists the product. Most sites have no product tag, so these are not production data.
Mapped sites by country
Site counts, not capacity or throughput. OpenStreetMap coverage differs by country.
Method, sources and rights
- Sites are OpenStreetMap features tagged as oil refineries, filtered to exclude depots, terminals, biofuel and edible-oil plants, and merged when several features describe one site. A mapped site is not proof of current operation.
- Capacity is never estimated. US values are EIA atmospheric crude distillation capacity as of 1 January 2026. Elsewhere a value appears only where an OpenStreetMap contributor tagged it, and it stays marked as unverified.
- An EIA record joins a mapped site only when company and place names agree, or when a single named site lies within 5 km of the EIA town. Other EIA records are listed without a location.
- Country counts are mapped sites, not capacity or throughput. Countries are assigned from Natural Earth 1:50m outlines, with a nearest-outline fallback within 30 km for coastal sites.
- Chokepoint flows are EIA estimates in million barrels per day. Corridors drawn between them are schematic. 1H 2025 is the first half of 2025; Panama Canal values are fiscal years.
