en.Wedoany.com Reported - Green Fuels Operating held a groundbreaking ceremony for its planned $400 million refinery project in Duncan, Oklahoma, located in Stephens County. The new refinery will redevelop a former refinery site that operated from the 1920s until its closure in 1983. Following extensive environmental cleanup and redevelopment led by local officials and regulatory agencies, this project marks the region's first major industrial investment in over 40 years.

The facility will have an initial processing capacity of 30,000 barrels per day, with potential expansion to 50,000 barrels per day, producing a range of products including gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene, asphalt, and naphtha. Designed for continuous operation, the refinery is expected to create 75 to 80 permanent full-time positions and indirectly support hundreds of regional jobs in the technical, engineering, and operational sectors.

Officials including Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell and Congressman Tom Cole praised the project as a significant economic victory for the state's rural areas and one of the most important private energy investments in Oklahoma in decades. Against the backdrop of a continued decline in the number of refineries across the United States, this new refinery development project stands out on a national scale.
