It has a refinery capacity of 130,000 barrels per day (21,000 m3/d).

History
The refinery was built by John Shaheen's Shaheen Resources in 1971–1973. It was operated in 1973–1976 until the bankruptcy of Shaheen Resources. The refinery was restarted in 1986 by Newfoundland Processing Ltd. In August 1994, the Vitol Group purchased the refinery and the operating company North Atlantic Refining was founded. In October 2006, Calgary-based Harvest Energy Trust purchased North Atlantic Refining for $1.6 billion, and in October 2009, the company was purchased by Korea National Oil Corporation. The refinery was expanded to a capacity of 130,000 bbl after a revamp by Silverpeak in 2016. [1]
