At the Shell Puget Sound Refinery plant in Anacortes, Washington, we convert crude petroleum from the Alaskan North Slope (Valdez load port) and from Central and Eastern Canada into many useful, practical products that are used everyday. Our job is to help you get where you’re going-on the road, in the air, over the water, all over the world!
We primarily serve the Pacific Northwest from the Canadian border to Portland, occasionally south to California.
