Wyoming Business Report:
The first new refinery built in Wyoming in almost 30 years is going up 20 miles north of Douglas, in the heart of the Powder River Basin. The new plant is the brainchild of Wyoming native Mike Williams, founder and president of Interline Resources.
Interline is building the plant on the ashes of their old Well Draw Gas Plant, a gas frac plant that produced propane, butane, natural gas, and ethane until it burned in 2002. The new plant, called NorthCut Refining LLC (a literary reference to Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”), is a radically different kind of factory: a gas topping oil refinery that will produce gas and diesel.
Compared to Wyoming’s four other refineries, NorthCut’s planned 5,000 barrel/day production is quite small. However, it’s raw materials and markets are carefully planned.
