Dickinson refinery

Also known as: 

Dakota Prairie

Dickinson was a very small, very simple refinery located in Dickinson, North Dakota in the US.

The refinery was closed in 2020 and converted to a renewable diesel plant.

The refinery was 100% owned and operated by Marathon.

The refinery was built in 2006 to process local Bakken crude oil delivered by pipeline.
