Shell Clyde Refinery

Översikt

Shell's Clyde Refinery is the longest operating oil refinery in Australia having been built in the early 1920s and operated by Shell since 1928 and is one of the most complex of the seven refineries currently operating in Australia.

The refinery supplies about 40 percent of Sydney's petroleum requirements and about 50 per cent of New South Wales needs. Clyde Refinery is located where the Parramatta and Duck Rivers join, 16km west of Sydney's CBD.

The crude oil for the refinery is received from Shell's Gore Bay Terminal, which is located on ten hectares of land in Greenwich, via an 19km 300mm diameter underground pipeline. More than four million tonnes of crude oil, feedstock and products are imported through the terminal for transfer to Shell's Clyde Refinery by pipeline every year.
