Refinaria de Paulínia or simply REPLAN is a petroleum refinery located in the city of Paulínia in the São Paulo state, in Brazil. REPLAN is the largest refinery of the Brazilian company Petrobras, with a capacity of about 360,000 barrels per day (57,000 m/d), which accounts for about 20% of Brazilian overall petroleum refining capacity. About 80% of the processed petroleum is produced in Brazil, mostly from the Campos Basin.
In popular culture
The REPLAN refinery was destroyed in the Tom Clancy novel Dead or Alive, by terrorists hoping to undermine a deal between the United States and Petrobras to ship oil to the United States at sub-OPEC prices.
