America's domestic refining industry is essential to our energy security.

Our unwavering commitment to safety is reflected in recent honors from the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM).

Our Detroit refinery earned AFPM’s highest safety award, the Distinguished Safety Award, for the second consecutive year, becoming one of only seven back-to-back winners in the last 35 years.

Congratulations also to our Mandan, North Dakota, and St. Paul Park, Minnesota, refineries for receiving the Elite Platinum Award, AFPM’s second-highest distinction.

We’re proud to share that our Baytown Refinery has earned the Elite Gold Safety Award from the AFPM for the very first time. 🏆

This prestigious recognition reflects the unwavering commitment, focus, and care our team brings to safety each and every day. Achieving this milestone takes more than meeting standards, it requires a culture where people look out for one another, speak up, and continuously strive to improve.

We couldn’t be prouder of this team for setting the bar and making this achievement possible. Congratulations on this incredible milestone!

Why has the conflict in Iran driven up fuel prices everywhere? We explain in our new blog.
