Port Stanvac Refinery was an oil refinery in the Australian state of South Australia located in Lonsdale, a southern suburb of Adelaide. Its construction was announced in 1958 and began refining crude oil in 1963.[2]
It had a capacity of 3.3 million tons per annum[3] and was owned by ExxonMobil Australia (and previously Mobil). The refinery was mothballed in 2003, and in 2009 ExxonMobil announced its permanent closure and demolition.[4]
The 239 ha site is being demolished and cleaned up through 2019.[5][4] The site has been slated for a housing development. This was announced in November 2024, for completion in late 2020’s.
