Шаблон:Infobox oil refinery The Feyzin Refinery (Raffinerie de Feyzin) is an oil refinery in south-east France, one of seven oil refineries in France.
History
Until 1964 most of the petrol in France was refined by British or American companies. A law was passed on 28 February 1963 declaring that at least 20% of the petrol refined in France had to have French involvement, by imposing import quotas.
The state-owned l'Union générale des pétroles (UGP) was formed on 19 June 1960.
By 1965 France was refining around 70m tonnes of oil per year.[1]
Elf was formed on 27 April 1967. Elf merged with ERAP in 1976, then merged with Total in 2003.
Elf opened the Grandpuits refinery in 1967. The site has mainly been owned by Elf Aquitaine (Essence et Lubrifiants de France).
In 1973, a subsidiary of Elf became Sanofi, currently the world's fifth-largest pharmaceutical company.
