About

Cherry Point refinery is one of the most modern refineries in the United States, the largest in Washington, and the fourth largest on the West Coast. It supplies about 20 percent of Washington’s gasoline needs and fuels, and a significant amount of the jet fuel to Seattle, Portland and Vancouver international airports.

Here at bp, we’re focused on improving our performance today whilst focusing on the energy transition for tomorrow. Significant investment has been made at Cherry Point recently to strengthen our bio-diesel capacity, to reduce the carbon footprint of the site, and to secure the site’s pivotal role in our refining portfolio for generations to come. In short, the future is exciting.
