Scaling Nevada’s only refinery to process recycled heavy oil and bolster regional fuel security.

• Unique location: Nevada’s only active refinery providing local fuel supply.
• Circular feedstock: Integrating recycled heavy oil from waste shingles to cut costs and emissions.
• Proven operations: Over twenty years of continuous production and customer relationships.
• Strategic market access: Serves growing mining, construction, and transport demand across the West.
• Community impact: Expansion adds local jobs and supports energy resilience.
• Aligned incentives: Royalty-linked structure ties investor returns to barrels refined.

Foreland Refinery is raising funds to scale production at Eagle Springs, the only operating crude-oil refinery in Nevada, and to integrate recycled heavy oil supplied by parent company Sky Quarry into daily throughput. Capital will support facility upgrades, expanded processing capacity within existing permits, and onsite logistics that shorten supply chains for diesel, asphalt, and specialty fuels consumed across the Western United States. By localizing supply, Foreland aims to reduce reliance on aging coastal infrastructure, lower transportation costs, and enhance regional energy resilience.

With more than two decades of continuous operation and established relationships with major regional buyers, the refinery enters this next phase from a position of stable cash flow and technical experience. Incorporating recycled feedstock derived from waste asphalt shingles is expected to cut feed costs, curb landfill disposal, and produce cleaner-burning fuels that align with growing sustainability mandates in mining, construction, and heavy transport. The funding also positions Foreland to add skilled local jobs in Railroad Valley, strengthen domestic supply chains, and demonstrate how legacy energy infrastructure can adapt to circular-economy principles while continuing to meet essential fuel demand.

Company Info

Foreland Refining operates Nevada’s sole oil refinery and plans to expand output by processing recycled heavy oil into diesel, asphalt, and related fuels.

Foreland Refining operates Eagle Springs Refinery in Railroad Valley, Nevada, the state’s only active crude-oil processing facility. For more than two decades the plant has produced diesel, asphalt, vacuum gas oil, and naphtha for customers across Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Southern California. Permitted to run up to 800,000 barrels of heavy crude each year, the site houses distillation towers, hydrotreating units, and bulk storage designed for regional demand. Its location near mineral developments and Interstate corridors positions the refinery to supply diesel for heavy trucks, asphalt for road construction, and specialty products for industrial users without dependence on coastal supply chains.

As a subsidiary of Sky Quarry, Foreland is preparing to incorporate recycled heavy oil derived from waste asphalt shingles, ensuring a steady feedstock stream while diverting construction debris from landfills. The integration will let the refinery scale production within existing permits, lower input costs, and improve carbon intensity scores of finished fuels. Future upgrades include automated blending systems and expanded storage capacity to manage seasonal demand swings. By delivering locally refined diesel, paving binders, and industrial intermediates, the company supports construction, mining, and transport sectors throughout the western United States and strengthens regional energy resilience.
