Capability
Crude distillation 6,300 bpd operable, 6,300 operating (EIA-820, as of 2026-01-01). Downstream units below, barrels per calendar day.
Upgrading
| Vacuum distillation | 5,000 sd |
Production capacity
Crude slate
Heavy, asphaltic residual feedstock suited to paving/roofing-grade asphalt production; per historical unit list, a dedicated ~3.5-6 kbpd asphalt plant fed by residuum (from the main refinery's vacuum unit or comparable heavy feedstock).
Crude in & products out
| Direction | Mode | Route | Point / origin | Products | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crude in | pipeline | Line 63 No source reviewed names 'Line 63' specifically; cannot confirm this is the asphalt plant's actual inbound pipeline. General sources describe the adjacent main Wilmington refinery as receiving 'a blend of California and foreign crude oil' via pipeline from marine terminals, which the asphalt plant may share access to as a co-located unit, but this is an inference. |

| crude in | marine | San Pedro Bay / Ports of Long Beach & Los Angeles Consistent with Valero's description of the co-located Wilmington complex being 'connected by pipeline to marine terminals and associated dock facilities that move and store crude oil,' though not confirmed specifically for the asphalt plant as a distinct facility. |
Waterborne heavy/asphaltic crude | crude | source |
| products out | truck rack | Refinery truck rack Asphalt plants of this size and market role (asphalt is not pipeline-shipped in the way gasoline/diesel are) are distributed almost entirely by truck; the plant supplies roughly 15% of Southern California's asphalt supply as part of the combined Wilmington complex's output. |

Events
No events on record.
Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
