A major explosion and fire at Valero’s Port Arthur refinery has taken one of the largest U.S. refining facilities offline, removing approximately 415,000 barrels per day from supply amid heightened market volatility. Our North American Refinery Intelligence Service has released a new report analysing the incident, using infrared monitoring across 12 key processing units at the site. Together, these units represent a significant share of PADD 3 refining capacity. Combining aerial imagery captured within 24 hours of the event with detailed operational analysis, the report assesses the scale of the disruption. Key findings include damage to the diesel hydrotreater, impacts on surrounding infrastructure, and the operational status of major units across the facility. With geopolitical pressures already tightening global energy markets, this outage adds further uncertainty to refined product supply.
