Ergon Refining to expand processing capabilities for gasoline production
Ergon Refining Inc, has announced plans to expand processing capabilities at our Vicksburg, Mississippi, refinery to include gasoline production, which is expected to come online during the first quarter of 2027. This expansion will enable the production of nearly 6,000 barrels of gasoline per day to support the wholesale fuels market in western Mississippi and eastern Louisiana.
“This significant investment is another step toward living out our commitment to consistently expand our portfolio of solutions to meet needs within the markets we serve,” said Lance Puckett, ERI President.
In August 2023, ERI announced the purchase of a fuels terminal in Vicksburg, adjacent to the refinery, where Ergon currently markets a full slate of gasoline and diesel fuel products. The expansion project at ERI will include pipeline infrastructure that connects directly to the terminal, significantly enhancing supply and fuels marketing capabilities.
“The purchase of the fuels terminal in 2023 set the stage for further entry into the wholesale fuels market,” said Kirk Latson, Senior Vice President of Fuels Marketing for Ergon. “Now, with this expansion, we’re excited to be a local company not just marketing but also producing fuel to keep our communities moving forward.”
The expansion project will increase ERI’s crude distillation capacity by 20%.
The Ergon family of companies continues to seek growth opportunities to continue our legacy of serving industries essential to global manufacturing and infrastructure with high-value solutions that enable our customers to succeed and our communities to thrive.
