Montreal East Refinery (Gulf Oil Canada)

The Montreal East Refinery, formerly owned and operated by Gulf Oil Canada, was a major oil refinery located in Montreal East, Quebec, Canada. The refinery primarily processed crude oil into various petroleum products, including gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and heating oil. Its location in Montreal East, a significant industrial area, provided access to transportation infrastructure and distribution networks.

The refinery played a substantial role in supplying petroleum products to the Quebec and Eastern Canada markets. Over its operational history, the Montreal East Refinery underwent various expansions and technological upgrades to enhance its processing capacity and efficiency.

Gulf Oil Canada's operations at the refinery contributed to the local economy through job creation and tax revenue. However, like all refineries, it faced environmental scrutiny and was subject to regulations aimed at minimizing pollution and ensuring safe operations.

Following changes in ownership and market conditions, the Montreal East Refinery ceased operations. Details surrounding the specific closure date and any subsequent repurposing or decommissioning of the site require further investigation. Publicly available information regarding the refinery's later history and current status is limited.
