Just about everyone in California is being forced to conserve water as the state faces its worst drought in over a century, but its water-guzzling refineries don’t have to.Mandatory water restrictions have yet to extend to California’s refining sector, according to a special report from Platts issued to subscribers Friday.
District officials have asked refiners to try to voluntarily reduce water use by 5%, the report said, citing comments from Jennifer Allen, public affairs director of the Contra Costa Water District.
That water district is home to two refineries: Shell’s RDS.A, -1.81% RDS.B, -1.70% 165,000 barrel-a-day Martinez plant and Tesoro’s TSO, -0.88% 166,000 barrel-a-day Golden Eagle facility. Shell’s Martinez refinery consumed 4.057 billion gallons of water, or 1.11 million gallons a day, in 2014, which is almost 20% of the county’s total consumption, Platts reported.
