Motiva Enterprises, a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, has successfully expanded its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, solidifying its position as the largest fuel-making facility in the United States. The refinery's capacity has grown to 654,000 barrels of oil per day (b/d), surpassing other major refineries in the country.

The Port Arthur refinery has been a key asset for Motiva since Saudi Aramco became its sole owner in 2017. This expansion aligns with Aramco's strategic goals to strengthen its global refining and petrochemical footprint. The upgraded facility is expected to enhance fuel production capabilities while contributing significantly to the local economy by creating jobs and boosting industrial activity in the region.

This development marks a significant achievement for Saudi Aramco and underscores its commitment to expanding its influence in North America's energy sector.
