Lindsey Oil Refinery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lindsey Oil Refinery is a Total owned oil refinery located at North Killingholme, North Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom. It lies immediately next to the Humber Refinery owned by rival oil company ConocoPhillips.
It processes approximately 10,000,000 tons of crude oil per year, or 200,000 barrells per day. This makes Lindsey Britain's third largest oil refinery.[1]
It entered service in 1968 and employs around 500 members of Total staff, as well as several hundred contractors, rising to up to several thousand during major turnaround and maintenance projects.
Crude oil is imported via two pipelines, connecting the 1,000-metre jetty 5 miles away at Immingham Dock, to the refinery.
The refinery's presence causes a considerable amount traffic to pass through the village of North Killingholme at the time of work shifts commencing and ending. This has caused some disputes with the refinery's neighbouring community.
