Refineries

New Jersey, Louisiana, and Texas are full of oil refineries.

Algeria owns many oil and gas refineries.

Algeria nationalized its oil refineries in the early 1970s.

Damage from Hurricane Rita to the many U.S. oil refineries along the Texas Gulf coast appears limited, and analysts say the long-term economic impact of the storm should be minimal. They say any increase in domestic U.S. gasoline prices should be temporary as refineries shut down by the hurricane resume operations.
