The multi-billion dollar investment in the refinery is the largest private sector investment in Indiana history and also includes several hundred million dollars in equipment for water treatment and air emissions, according to Whiting Refinery manager Nick Spencer. “Our investment in Whiting’s future shows BP’s commitment to safely providing energy and jobs in America,” Spencer said.

Spencer also credited the 1,900 Whiting employees and large contractor workforce for safely delivering the multi-year project: “We’ve employed more than 10,000 skilled craftspeople here at Whiting the past several years preparing for this day and safety performance has been very good,” Spencer added. “Our focus now is to continue this high standard of safety performance as we operate the plant to produce gasoline, diesel and jet fuel and provide jobs for thousands of people in greater Chicagoland and much of the Midwest for decades to come.”
