The Valero Meraux Refinery, located in Chalmette, Louisiana, is a leading petroleum refining facility situated approximately 15 miles southeast of New Orleans along the Mississippi River. With a workforce of 260 employees, the refinery has a daily production capacity of 135,000 barrels and processes both sour and sweet crude oils to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and high-sulfur fuel oil. Committed to safety, environmental responsibility, and community involvement, the refinery has invested over $110 million in environmental projects and contributed more than $612,000 to the United Way campaign in 2024.
As part of the Valero family, the Meraux Refinery benefits from its proximity to the Valero St. Charles Refinery, allowing for efficient integration of feedstocks and refined petroleum product blending. The refinery receives crude oil at its dock and has access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, while finished products are shipped through the Colonial pipeline. With a focus on environmental stewardship, the refinery has implemented flare gas recovery systems to reduce flaring emissions by approximately 80 percent. Additionally, Valero Meraux Refinery actively engages in community initiatives, with employees volunteering over 6,000 hours annually and donating $255,000 to support children in St. Bernard Parish and the surrounding area.
