Turbo Resources to Open Canada’s First Private Integrated Oil Refiner
Turbo Resources Ltd plans a mid 1982 opening of its $200 million oil refinery in Calgary to become Canada’s first private integrated oil company. It will supply its 340 stations and move beyond a waste oil recycler image while pursuing further acquisitions to fuel growth and reduce dependence on major oil firms.

Turbo chief uneasy with attack on national energy program
Bob Brown president and CEO of Turbo Resources Ltd. has spent much of the year leading opposition to Ottawa's national energy program while urging lobbying over confrontation. The Calgary native turned Turbo from a waste oil recycler to a diversified outfit with a projected 1985 revenue near 1 billion and plans a 1982 refinery to create a private Canadian owned integrated oil company. Brown avoids radical tactics and foresees leading Turbo for about a decade while the industry faces political tensions and credibility questions from Ottawa.
