Company Directory - Total in the UK

TOTAL Lindsey Oil Refinery
Lindsey Oil Refinery (LOR) is Britain’s third largest refinery, with a capacity of up to 10
million tonnes a year of which 90 per cent is North Sea crude. Now wholly owned by
TOTAL, it began in 1966 as a joint investment by TOTAL and PetroFina and consisted
of two simple hydroskimming process trains. Since then it has grown and developed
into one of the most complex and technologically advanced refineries in Europe. This
enables it to process many different types of crude oil and respond quickly to changes
in market demand.
Extending over 500 acres on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, it employs some
550 people directly, as well as over 250 contract staff.
Products are distributed by sea, pipeline, rail and road and are predominantly
marketed by TOTAL UK, of which LOR is a part. Under normal conditions, a third of
production travels by sea and a third is taken by rail via LOR’s 13 miles of tracks and
sidings - the UK’s largest private rail complex. One sixth is exported by pipeline and
only one sixth travels by road.
