The Montreal Oil Refining Center is the largest refining center in Canada. This refining center is located in the Greater Montreal Area, essentially in the east part of the Montreal Island. Varennes city is a other part of the refining center.

Refineries

Commercial refineries

Shell Canada - Montreal East Refinery (161 000 bpd)

The Shell Canada - Montreal East Refinery is located inside the Montréal-Est city on Sherbrooke East Street. This refinery was founded in 1931, the second Montreal refinery after the Imperial Oil (Esso) Refinery. The refinery isn't located far from to petrochemical industries like Coastal Petrochemical, Shell Chemical, Parachem petrochemical, Interquisa Canada and Marsulex (Sulconam) Canada. This refinery have some essential petrochemical infrastructures to complete the oil refining.

Petro-Canada - Montreal Refinery (160 000 bpd)

The Montreal Refinery is located inside the Pointe-aux-Trembles/Rivières-des-Prairies borought in the Montreal city on Sherbrooke East Street. This refinery had a another name when this refinery was founded, the Petrofina Montreal Refinery. This refinery have the same refining capacity as the Shell Canada refinery.

Gulf Oil Canada Ltd. - Montreal East Refinery (65 000 bpd)

The Montreal East Refinery (Gulf Oil Canada) is essentially a little refinery located inside the Coastal Petrochemical fields. It's located inside the Montréal-Est city and not far of the petrochemical infrastructures. It is the only refinery which restarted since the massive closure of refineries in the 80s.

Industrial refineries

Petromont S.E.C. - Varennes Refinery (58 000 bpd)

The Petromont refinery is located in Varennes city in the south shore of Montreal. This refinery is actually in a stand by but the plant isn't destroyed. This refiney made some petrochemical product essentially and some products for the Montreal Oil Refining Center industries. Petromont is a compagny of Dow Chemical and the Financial Quebec Society.

Old Refineries

Texaco Montreal East Refinery

The Texaco Montreal East Refinery was located on the current grounds of Interquisa Canada on Gamble Avenue. This refinery was near of that of Imperial Oil Ltd. It was founded in the 60s and operated for only twenty years. The closure of the Texaco refinery coincided with those of the refineries of Imperial Oil Ltd., Gulf Canada, and BP. These massive closures of refineries was made in the 80s during the crisis of the oil.

BP Montreal East/Anjou Refinery

The BP Montreal East/Anjou Refinery was situated on the current grounds of the Metropolitan golf club in the district of Anjou of the city of Montreal. It was the only refinery to be built in the North of the metropolitan freeway in the history of this center of refining. She was able to produce some gasoline during twenty years but the oil crisis of the Middle East forces its closure in the 80s.

Imperial Oil Ltd. Esso Montreal East Refinery

The Imperial Oil Ltd. Esso Montreal East Refinery was the first refinery of the Montreal Oil Refining Center. She was founded in 1913, three years after the foundation of the city of Montréal-Est. She refined some oil during more than 70 years and she returned service to the east Montrealers. It was constantly evolving and during the last years of her exploitation, the company made massive investments to strengthen the refinery in the market of the refining. The closure of the refinery and its dismantling remains mysterious due to the profitability of the refinery and its successful units of refining. Maybe a new refinery Imperial Oil will return to the Montreal-East.

Petrochemical plants

Coastal Petrochemical

The petrochemical company of Coastal is quite new because it is the result of a restart thanks to the company Interquisa Canada. Indeed, this company carried the name of Kemtec Petrochemical. Today, this petrochemical complex make paraxylene, benzene and toluene, before, phenol and acetons. The Coastal Petrochemical compagny is a commercial partner with Parachem petrochemical, PttPolyCanada and Interquisa Canada.

Kemtec Petrochemical

The Kemtec Petrochemical compagny was a company similar to that of Coastal Petrochemical. Its transformed and finished products are practically the same, except in the case of the phenol and the acetones where Coastal made dismantle the industrial units.

Coastal Petrochemical Terminal

The petrochemical terminal of Coastal Petrochemical is the property of Ultramar. She is a tenant. She stores petrochemical products as the paraxylene, the toluene, the phenol, the acetone and the good of the other products. His locationis near the residences of the Montreal-East. Recently, we taught it that he had a petrochemical draining of products in the river Saint Lawrence, the eviron 500 000 tons.
