GS Caltex operates the world’s fourth largest oil refinery as a single site. With daily capacities of 800,000 barrels at our oil refining facilities and 275,000 barrels at our heavy oil upgrading (HOU) facility, we produce a range of high-quality petroleum products, including gasoline and kerosene. We also produce 2.8 million tons of benzene, toluene, xylene, and other aromatics as well as 180,000 tons of polypropylene on a yearly basis. Daily, we produce 27,000 barrels of base oil and 9,000 barrels of lubricants.

Furthermore, we are concentrating our efforts on becoming a global company in the oil and petrochemical industries through our entry in the olefin business. A MFC(mixed feed cracker) project for olefin production is currently under construction so that it can begin operations in early 2021. The goal is to produce 750,000 tons of ethylene and 500,000 tons of polyethylene annually.
