The Gulf Refinery at Milford Haven was an oil refinery situated on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The refinery, originally owned and operated by Gulf Oil, was opened in August 1968 by Queen Elizabeth II.[1] The plant, constructed at a cost of approximately £35 million, produced a range of petroleum products and occupied an area of 300 acres (121.4 ha).[2] It was initially designed to process 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day (3 million tonnes per year).[3] The capacity was increased to 119,000 barrels (18,900 m3) a day of oil.[4]
