Milford Haven Refinery was an oil refinery situated on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, United Kingdom. The refinery began operating in 1973 under Amoco's ownership, but in its final days it was owned by Murco Petroleum. The closure of the refinery was announced in November 2014. The site was sold to Puma Energy in 2015 for use as a petroleum storage and distribution terminal. ==History== Milford Haven Refinery is situated on a 1200 acre site near Milford Haven.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Milford Haven Refinery )〕 The refinery came on stream in 1973 under Amoco's ownership.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Murco Milford Haven Refinery )〕 A major upgrade was carried out in 1981, and a catalytic cracker was added.〔 In the same year (1981) Murco (a subsidiary of Murphy Oil) purchased a 30% share of the refinery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Refining and Distribution )〕 Since then further units have been added, notably a naptha isomerisation unit and a hydrodesulphurisation unit.〔 Elf bought Amoco's interest in 1990 and Elf was acquired by Total in 2000.〔 In December 2007 Murco purchased Total's 70% interest in the refinery to become the 100% owner.〔 In 2010 Murco expressed a desire to sell the refinery. In April 2014 the company warned that it may have to close the site, and began a consultation process with staff. In June 2014 it was reported that the refinery had been sold to the Klesch Group, safeguarding 400 jobs at the site.〔(Murco: Sale 'agreed' for oil refinery in Milford Haven ), BBC News. 29 June 2014. Retrieved 2014-06-29.〕 In November the deal fell through and it was announced that the refinery will be converted into a 'storage and distribution facility' with a loss of over 300 jobs. 〔(Murco refinery sale collapses: 60 of 400 jobs remain )〕 The refinery entered a 'shut-down' period and was decommissioned while the company looked for a new buyer. In March 2015 the site was acquired by Puma Energy, along with three English inland terminals at Westerleigh, Theale and Bedworth. Puma Energy said it would convert the site into a petroleum storage and distribution terminal.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milford Haven Refinery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
