The Chevron Pasadena Refinery, on the channel since 1919
1919
Pasadena, Texas
Crown Central Petroleum put one of the first refineries on the Houston Ship Channel here in 1919 and ran it for more than eighty years before selling to a Belgian trading house. Petrobras bought in during 2006, and the price and the process became one of the corruption cases that later engulfed the Brazilian state oil company, with arbitration and settlements running to about 820 million dollars. Chevron took the plant over in 2019.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
