The Burnaby Refinery is an oil refinery located in the city of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada owned by Chevron. The facility refines crude and synthetic oil into gasoline, diesel, jet fuels, asphalts, heating fuels, heavy fuel oils, butanes, and propane. Crude is supplied to the facility from Northern British Columbia and Alberta through the 1,200-kilometre Kinder Morgan Pipe Line.[2][3] The refinery is divided into Area 1 (the original site) now used for offices and oil storage and Area 2 the modern refining area.
