Ontario refinery plan to process Alberta crude at Froomfield
A plan announced by W Harold Rea president of Canadian Oil Companies calls for an 18 million dollar refinery at Froomfield Ontario on the St Clair river eighteen miles from Petrolia. The plant would start processing Alberta crude in April 1952 and handle about 5 million barrels yearly transported from Superior Wisconsin via interprovincial pipeline. Output would total 105 million gallons of gasoline plus other fuels. The facility could switch to aviation gasoline and provide butylene and ethane-ethylene for Polymer Corporation in Sarnia in a national emergency. Western Ontario gas shortages may be eased by selling refinery gases locally.
