As a result of these closures total US refinery capacity fell between 1981 and 1995, though the operating capacity stayed fairly constant in that time period at around 15,000,000 barrels per day (2,400,000 m 3 /d). [25] Increases in facility size and improvements in efficiencies have offset much of the lost physical capacity of the industry.
