In 2024, the world's oil refinery capacity reached ***** million barrels per day. Overall, global refinery capacity has ******* in the past fifty years and experienced the largest growth during the 1970s.
Production, demand, and refineries
Since the turn of the millennium, global refinery capacity has grown at a more consistent rate than oil production. More recently, lower refining margins and insecurity over the longevity of future projects have led to the closure of multiple small and medium-sized refinery complexes, particularly in the United States and Europe. The Nigeria-based Dangote Refinery is the largest addition to refining capacities in recent years, having become operational in 2023.
Consumption expanding in Asia
While historically Europe, Eurasia, and North America have been the largest consumers of petroleum, regional distribution is shifting toward the Asia-Pacific region. Today, China is the second-largest consumer of oil in the world, with three further Asia-Pacific countries among the top ten largest consumers.

The facility location data represent the approximate location based on research of publicly available information from sources such as Federal agencies, company websites, and satellite images on public websites.
China had the world’s largest oil refinery capacity as of 2024, at nearly ************ barrels of oil per day. Oil refineries process crude oil into more useful products. Common oil refinery products include diesel fuel, heating oil, and gasoline. Global oil refining The global refinery capacity for crude oil has been steadily increasing since 1970. As of 2023, the total global refinery capacity for crude oil was some around ************* barrels per day. However, the refinery throughput worldwide was over ********** barrels of oil per day. United States oil refining In 2023, oil refinery capacity in the United States amounted to approximately ************ barrels per day. The North American country has consistently maintained the largest oil refinery capacity across the globe, before being overtaken by China in 2023. As one of the largest U.S. refiners, Chevron had a crude oil refining capacity that handled *********** barrels of crude oil per day worldwide.
