Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Delek US (Brentwood, Tennessee), a subsidiary of Delek Group (Netanya, Israel), emerged from a turbulent 2024 with stronger profitability, despite lower refining crack spreads that took a toll on its bottom line. The refining and gas-processing company sold its retail business and chalked up two major acquisitions over the past 12 months, and it is looking forward to 2025 with a series of expansions at one of its major refineries. Industrial Info is tracking more than $2 billion worth of active and planned projects worldwide from Delek, including about $730 million worth in the U.S.

Market conditions proved challenging for Delek over the past year, as they did for many refiners; during the fourth quarter of 2024, Delek US's benchmark crack spreads were down an average of 13.1% from prior-year levels. Nonetheless, the company closed its acquisitions of water infrastructure and logistics companies H2O Midstream and Gravity Water Midstream over the past 12 months.
Delek is planning a series of expansions at its refinery in Big Spring, Texas, one of its key facilities, that are set to kick off later this year. They include the expansion of the crude unit, which will increase its processing capacity of West Texas Sour crude from the Permian Basin from 73,000 to 100,000 barrels per day (BBL/d); the expansion of the diesel hydrotreater unit from 22,750 to 27,300 BBL/d; the upgrade of a gas-oil/kerosene hydrotreater from 6,000 to 7,200 BBL/d; and the expansion of a reformer unit from 21,000 to 25,200 BBL/d. All four projects are expected to wrap up before the end of the year.
Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Petroleum Refining Plant and Project databases can learn more from a plant profile and read detailed reports on the crude unit, diesel hydrotreater unit, gas-oil/kerosene hydrotreater and reformer unit.
The Big Spring Refinery is in the heart of the Permian Basin and primarily processes light crude oil from the Permian, East Texas and the Gulf Coast into transportation fuels, solvents, finished asphalt and liquified petroleum gas (LPG), according to the company. Other projects slated to kick off later this year include an upgrade of its Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) and the addition of a benzene stripper. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the SRU and benzene stripper projects.
Elsewhere in the Permian, Delek is nearing completion on a $100 million second train at its Libby Cryogenic Natural Gas Processing Plant in Hobbs, New Mexico, which will double the facility's processing capacity to 120 million standard cubic feet per day. ZAP Engineering & Construction Services Incorporated (Lakewood, Colorado) is performing the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed plant profile and project report.
Next year could see a pair of improvement projects at Delek's 80,000-BBL/d refinery in El Dorado, Arkansas: an upgrade of the fluid catalytic cracker unit (FCCU), which would improve its gasoline yield by modifying the vacuum column , and an upgrade of the crude unit to boost production of jet fuels. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed plant profile and reports on the FCCU and crude unit upgrades.
