Petroleum refineries in Oklahoma (NAICS 324110)
USAspending.gov records $119,113,156.28 in NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) obligations with Oklahoma place of performance, across 11,128 awards. The join is one six-digit industry and one state, not Oklahoma’s entire federal inflow and not every petroleum-refinery award in the catalog. Dividing $119,113,156.28 by 11,128 yields about $10,704 per award, a ratio of two packet facts rather than a posted barrel price.

What the petroleum refineries–Oklahoma join is
NAICS 324110 and place-of-performance state OK meet on this tie. $119,113,156.28 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for petroleum refineries, not Oklahoma’s statewide spending rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Petroleum Refineries; this overlay applies that code only where Oklahoma is the geography field.
11,128 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 11,128 as refineries, plants, or payrolls in Oklahoma would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Oklahoma against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.
Open Oklahoma federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 324110 for the industry hub, Oklahoma industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $119,113,156.28.
NAICS 324110 as the industry side
USAspending labels NAICS 324110 as Petroleum Refineries. The packet does not name facilities, crude slates, product streams, or primes. Sharing a state with other energy codes does not merge this cell with pipeline construction or wholesale fuel. The industry hub for NAICS 324110 does not require Oklahoma geography; only this overlay applies both filters.
A second petroleum-refineries join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Oklahoma’s 324110 figure as a synonym for every refinery award in the catalog. Award titles on the NAICS 324110 page are the place to see what a given line bought. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Oklahoma cell.
Place of performance in Oklahoma
Oklahoma on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Oklahoma residents. Oklahoma POP is statewide, not a Tulsa-only or Ponca City-only overlay. Place of performance can list OK while later work occurs in Texas or Kansas; those states are not inside this total unless also coded OK.
The state hub for Oklahoma shows how NAICS 324110 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts. Contractor headquarters can differ from the place-of-performance tag. Open Oklahoma federal spending for the statewide parent.
Award count, mean, and obligations
11,128 awards against $119,113,156.28 produces a modest mean of about $10,704. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row, which pulls the mean toward a small-ticket ratio. That mean is still only a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Award count 11,128 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $119,113,156.28 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $119,113,156.28 as cash already spent in Oklahoma over-reads the field.
What this pair does not prove
A busy award count is not proof of a single prime and not proof that Oklahoma specialized in refining because of federal demand. Keep $119,113,156.28 labeled as NAICS 324110 obligations with Oklahoma place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations.
A later ingest can restate $119,113,156.28 without changing the join key of NAICS 324110 and OK. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Correlation is not causation. Cite USAspending.gov, both sides of the join, and the obligation word in the same sentence.
How to cite petroleum refineries in Oklahoma
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), Oklahoma (OK), $119,113,156.28, and 11,128 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Oklahoma federal spending, NAICS 324110, Oklahoma industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $10,704 as a ratio only.
Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Oklahoma. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
