The Prince George Refinery is an oil processing facility in northern British Columbia that converts crude oil into multiple fuel products. The plant produces gasoline, diesel, propane, butane, and heavy fuel oil for distribution across the region.
The facility started operations in 1967 and was sold to Tidewater Midstream & Infrastructure Ltd in 2019. This ownership change represented a significant turning point in the refinery's operational history.
The refinery forms a central part of northern British Columbia's industrial landscape, connecting local businesses and supporting regional economic development.
The facility sits at the intersection of regional pipeline connections that deliver crude oil from the northeast and distribute finished products. Visitors should note this is an active industrial site where access is typically restricted.
Crude oil arrives through an extensive pipeline network stretching from the northern fields through Prince George to the south. This system connects oil production areas in the northeast with processing and markets in larger cities.
