Additional info here: Mid east oil refining capacity.

The link shows hiogher numbers plus indicates a lot of plans for greatly increasing capacity.

Whoops, I got only Aramco’s share of a couple joint owned refineries.

From your link:

Existing Aramco Domestic Refining Capacity (’000 bpd)
Refinery Total

Ras Tanura 550
Rabigh 385
Samref (Yanbu) 400
Sasref (Jubail) 305
Yanbu 237
Riyadh 122
Jeddah 85
Total 2,084
Average 347

300k BPD really isn’t out of line. I know Iraq has begun the planning of 4 different refineries. It will be a significant addition for them when all are built.

By the way, that link is out of date.

I know the Motiva expansion in Port Arthur Texas is drawn out and partial on hold. I had friends here working on the expansion that got sent home to the house.
