Note 1: Sun was vertically integrated in 1982, but divested most of its upstream assets with the spinoff of Sun Exploration and Development (later renamed Oryx Energy) in 1988. However, Sun retained a small amount of oil and gas production assets until 1997. Since 1997 Sun (since renamed Sunoco) has been a non-vertically integrated refiner. | |||||||||

**: "U.S. Total" includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Also note that the expiration of the November 1974 crude oil entitlements program (which was designed to eliminate disparities in crude oil acquisitions costs and effectively required larger (those with crude oil throughput of more than 175, 000 barrels per calendar day) to make payments to small refiners) in January 1981 was followed by the closure of 86 refineries in 1981, 1982, and 1983 with total crude oil distillation capacity of 1,994,214 barrels per calendar day (bpd). Ten of the 86 were owned by the top 10 Refiners in 1982 with a resulting loss of refining capacity totalling 636,000 bpd.
