Koch Industries Primary Subsidiaries:
Flint Hills Resources is Koch's primary oil company, operating major oil refineries, oil and gas supply stations, pipelines, corn biofuels, chemicals and polymers. Flint Hills' major oil and gas refineries process 670,000 barrels of crude oil daily:
• Minnesota: Koch's Pine Bend refinery in Rosemont, MN can process 339,000 barrels of oil per day, and "is among the top processors of Canadian crude in the United States," complimenting Koch's multi-million acre tar sands leases in Alberta, Canada.
• Texas: Koch's Corpus Christi refineries can process about 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and have been upgrading technology in order to capitalize on the Eagle Ford Shale boom.
• Alaska: Facing "enormous" cleanup costs for soil and groundwater contamination and high crude oil prices, Flint Hills announced in 2014 that it would permanently close its North Pole refinery outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. Koch blames contamination on the refinery's previous owner, Williams Companies. The complex was able to process 85,000 barrels of crude oil each day, producing products like gasoline and especially jet fuel, and can store over 700,000 barrels of crude oil on site.
In 2014, Flint Hills entered a $2.1 billion agreement to buy PetroLogistics in order to convert U.S. shale gas into propylene, a petrochemical used to make plastic.
Georgia-Pacific is Koch's largest subsidiary, producing timber and construction products, paper and pulp, consumer tissue and hygiene products, chemicals, and cellulose. Georgia-Pacifics products include consumer brands like recognizable retail products including Quilted Northern®, Angel Soft®, Brawny®, Vanity Fair® and Dixie® cups.
