FACTBOX-Saudi Arabia's oil refining capacity

http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKLDE63K29720100421

April 21 (Reuters) - The world's largest oil exporter Saudi
Arabia is likely to go ahead with plans for a new 400,000
barrels per day (bpd) refinery at Yanbu even after partner
ConocoPhillips (COP.N) pulled out. [ID:nN21129738] Saudi plans to boost refinery capacity have suffered several
setbacks. Another plan to boost capacity to 400,000 bpd at Ras
Tanura is on hold and may be shelved indefinitely. The kingdom
failed to find a foreign partner for a plan to build a refinery
at Jizan and will proceed with the project alone. If all plans proceed, Saudi Arabia would boost domestic
refining capacity by more than 1.7 million barrels per day from
the current level of 2.1 million bpd. Aramco holds total domestic and international refining
capacity of 2.37 million bpd. Its share of domestic capacity is
1.75 million bpd, while the rest is held by Royal Dutch Shell
(RDSa.L) and Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) at joint venture plants. The following lists Saudi Arabia's and Saudi Aramco's
refining capacity: Aramco volume, domestic and international(bpd): 2,369,500
