The Calumet Refinery in Shreveport has changed hands in recent years, but for most of its life it was known as the Pennzoil-Calumet Refinery, and was owned by Pennzoil and then Pennzoil-Quaker.
It was sold to Calumet Lubricants in 2001, but many former employees of the refinery have been diagnosed with diseases related to asbestos exposure in earlier years of work at the refinery.
