How much Canadian crude oil will Marathon run at its Detroit refinery when the expansion is completed? Will all of this crude oil come from Marathons partnership in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project?
Once the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrade Project is completed, the refinery crude capacity will go from the current 106,000 bpd to 115,000 bpd. This project provides the opportunity to increase the amount of heavy crudes currently being run at the refinery. The upgrades will allow the Detroit refinery to process an additional 80,000 barrels of heavy crude oil per day. As for what we run at a refinery, we constantly evaluate which crude oils are best for each of our refineries against the other alternatives that we have which include buying and selling these types of feed stocks into the market. We are always weighing those options and they change depending upon market conditions.
