(CORCO) at Penuelas, Puerto Rico operates a Class C oil refinery-petrochemical facility consisting of a 100,000 barrel/day (bbl/d) crude oil refinery and 50,000 bbl/d crude naphtha petrochemical works. The refinery receives crude oil from South America and Middle East for production of gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil, fuel oil, propane, butane, LPG, and naphtha.
