The current update has BP spending $3B to shift its second largest refinery (~fifth largest US refinery) its crude slate to almost entirely heavy Canadian crude. The construction is to start in 2007 and complete by 2011.
The last update had the BP Whiting Refinery at a $1-2B upgrade and capacity on the +400 MBD refinery use primarily Canadian heavy crude by 2009. I estimated it might require a new or revamped coker capacity of 30 MBD making additional 475 kmt/yr of 6.5% fuel coke, similar size to the existing coker production today of 1,300 TPD (430 kmt/yr) 5% Sulfur Fuel coke.
One News release indicates that the Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered $450,000 in training grants and $1.2 million in tax credits based on job creation and capital investment to attract the project
