Gulf Coast Refining Region
The Gulf Coast Refining Region refers to the area along the Gulf Coast of the United States where major oil refineries operate. This region includes parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Refineries here process crude oil into products like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum-based products. The Gulf Coast is a strategic hub due to its proximity to oil production sites, ports for shipping, and infrastructure for distribution. Its location makes it a key center for transportation, energy supply, and refining capacity in the U.S. energy industry.
