Also known as:
Alliance was a refinery located on the Mississippi River, 25 miles south of New Orleans in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, in the US.
The refinery was 100% owned and operated by Phillips 66.
The refinery primarily ran light, sweet domestic crude. Crude was accessed from domestic pipelines and from the LOOP.
Product was distributed in the local market and to the Southeast and Northeast through connections to the Colonial and Plantation pipelines,
In 2021 the refinery stopped operations after damage from Hurricane Ida and Phillips 66 is converting the site to a crude and product terminal.
Alliance was a medium-sized, medium complexity refinery, with a small coker and medium sized FCC allowing it to process only a light crude slate, but with full conversion to light products.
