America's First New Oil Refinery In 50 Years Is Breaking Ground In South Texas This Quarter. Here's What Nobody's Connecting The Dots On.
The last greenfield oil refinery built in America went online in 1976. In Garyville, Louisiana. Nobody working in industrial construction today was active when it went up. That's how rare this is.
That changes this quarter.
America First Refining is breaking ground at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. 240 acres. A 20-year agreement with India's Reliance to purchase and process 1.2 billion barrels of U.S. shale oil. When operational, it will produce over 60 million barrels per year of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Fluor Corporation was awarded the engineering and design contract April 7. It's not a proposal. It's happening.
The Permian Basin feeds this refinery.
Here's the part that matters for everyone reading this. Most existing Gulf Coast refineries were built to process heavy imported crude ... not the light shale oil coming out of West Texas. That structural mismatch has cost American producers for decades. This refinery is specifically engineered for Permian shale. 60 million barrels a year of American oil refined into American fuel on American soil.
And the pipelines are being built to feed it.
The Blackcomb Pipeline ... 365 miles of 42-inch pipe ... is set to move 2.5 billion cubic feet per day from the Permian Basin to South Texas. The Apex Pipeline adds another 2.0 billion cubic feet per day from the Permian to Port Arthur. Both targeting 2026 commissioning.
The infrastructure is being built in every direction simultaneously.
The Hormuz strait is shut. The Middle East is burning. And 17 miles from SpaceX ... on the southern tip of Texas ... America is quietly building its energy future from the ground up.
500 direct jobs at $80,000 to $100,000+ a year. 2,000 construction jobs. The Port of Brownsville. The Permian Basin. And a refinery that doesn't exist anywhere in this country yet.
While everyone was arguing about energy policy ... the shovels were already being sharpened.
