Notes: Major changes in positions since Jan. 1, 2012, are few: Chevron and Phillips swapped ranks as well as Marathon and OAO Lukoil. Other changes in capacity are due to adjustments in declared capacity. � Please read Warren R. True and Leena Koottungal, "Asia, Middle East Lead Modest Recovery in Global Refining," OGJ, Dec 3, 2012, Table 1. Top 5 largest refiners (refining companies) in the USA are: Valero (12 refineries with 2,096,500 b/cd of crude capacity), Phillips 66, ExxonMobil, BP and Marathon---please see ibid., Table 2. For the USA, Valero has moved into the top spot for company-wide capacity, pushing Phillips 66 to No. 2.
