The first oil refinery to open in the U.S. in 40 years breaks ground in west Texas.
The MMEX Resources Corporation’s $50 million project is set to be built in Pecos County.
The area holds a significant crude oil supply, and is also railroad accessible.
It will be developed in two phases, and is expected to create hundreds of jobs.
Once it is completed, the 126 acre refinery will be able to process 10,000 barrels of crude oil each day.
Meanwhile, officials plan to file permits for a second unit that would be able to produce 100,000 barrels.
The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2018, and will take up 15 acres.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has already given the green light to start the project.
With the expansion of crude oil production in the region, economic growth is expected to follow.

Those damned homo...whatever you called them.
Nyms???
Dang it! They’re homphones, not nyms.
Homophones are of the devil too.
This is going to be a huge shot in the arm of Pecos and all the small towns around there who will find employment at the new facility!
WIN!!
Before they build big they will need more than railroad access. To get large amounts to market takes pipeline access
