Petroleum Refineries federal obligations in Texas

What NAICS 324110 and Texas share on one row

NAICS 324110 and place-of-performance state TX meet here. $4,517,253,815 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Texas, not the nationwide Petroleum Refineries total, and not cash already paid. Gulf Coast refining and fuel-supply folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a refinery list and not a barrel census.

57,586 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — tens of thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. A long row list can mix small fuel actions with larger instruments. The join does not rank Texas against other states and does not name refineries inside the extract.

Open Texas federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 324110 for the next hub, Texas industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

A long refinery award list under one Texas filter

Dividing $4,517,253,815 by 57,586 yields about $78,444 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical fuel-supply contract. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-refinery census. Plant names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Gulf coast refining and fuel-supply folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative’s extra columns.

NAICS 324110 without a Texas overlay is a different total

The NAICS 324110 page aggregates NAICS 324110 without requiring TX geography. The Texas federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Texas place of performance. Texas industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 324110 filter and the TX filter, which is why it cites 57,586 awards and $4,517,253,815.

Place of performance in Texas is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list TX while product moves to other states. 324110 awards coded to Louisiana or elsewhere do not sit in this total even if a terminal sits in Houston. This packet does not split Houston from Beaumont or Corpus Christi.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $4,517,253,815 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Texas over-reads the field.

Award count 57,586 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Texas federal spending, NAICS 324110, and Texas industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 324110 total in Texas does not mean refiners caused Texas’s energy mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between Gulf Coast geography and fuel awards is expected; it is not a finding about prices or waste.

Keep $4,517,253,815 labeled as NAICS 324110 obligations with Texas place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Texas–324110 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), Texas place of performance, $4,517,253,815 in obligations, and 57,586 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $4,517,253,815 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $78,444 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical fuel-supply contract.

Texas federal spending, NAICS 324110, Texas industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $4,517,253,815 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Houston-versus-Beaumont folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A long award list is still a record count, including modifications. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much has NAICS 324110 obligated in Texas?

USAspending.gov records $4,517,253,815 in obligations for NAICS 324110 with Texas place of performance, covering 57,586 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not the nationwide Petroleum refineries total. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Does this total include every Texas refinery?

The extract lists 57,586 award actions totaling $4,517,253,815. Average obligation per award is about $78,444, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical fuel-supply contract. Unique recipients are not published here, and the row count is not a company census. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Is this a Houston-only refining total?

No. $4,517,253,815 and 57,586 awards are statewide Texas place of performance. This packet does not split Houston from Beaumont or Corpus Christi. A regional cut would be a different extract, not this NAICS–state join. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Where are the live Texas and NAICS 324110 tables?

Texas federal spending shows statewide spending. NAICS 324110 shows NAICS 324110 without a state filter. Texas industries lists other Texas industry cells. All spending ties lists other pairs. This page is the join of those two filters, not a restatement of either hub. Original filings remain on the source sites.
