Murphy Oil Corporation has been a steady producer of petroleum products for half a century.

The 125,000 barrel per-day Meraux refinery produces a full slate of conventional gasoline and distillate products, as well as ultra low sulfur gasoline and diesel, which Murphy actively markets in the Southeastern United States.

Murphy’s Meraux refinery has the only three stage Residual Oil Supercritical Extraction (ROSE) unit operating in the U.S. This unit fractionates vacuum tower bottoms into asphaltene, resin, and a lighter product, deasphalted oil.

Asphaltene is an extremely hard asphalt. The softening point is 300 degrees F with a 0 penetration, and is easily ground to a powder. Asphaltene can be shipped as a solid pellet for easy handling, or as a liquid. Applications include asphalt blending component for improving the high temperature characteristics of Super Pave asphalt, roofing, coatings, sand mold additive for metal casting, clay pigeons, inks and a additive in formulating drilling muds. Additionally, asphaltene can be used as a fuel either as a liquid or a solid. It has a heat value of 17,000 Btu per pound which is much higher than coal or petroleum coke.

Resin is unique to Murphy’s ROSE process. The softening point is 110 degrees F and the penetration is 100. The most important characteristics of resin is its binding ability. Some of the applications are as a blending component for asphalt cement, roofing asphalt, and coating. Resin is sold only as a liquid.

Murphy has the capability to blend asphaltene and resin at various ratios, and thereby producing a product to meet the customers’ requirements. These liquids can be shipped by rail or truck.
