That refinery is pretty old:

The refinery was built in 1968 for Humble Oil and completed in 1969. Humble Oil changed its name to Exxon in 1972. Valero purchased the property in 2000.

In October 2024, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and California Air Resources Board issued an $82 million fine over air pollution violations at the Benicia Refinery, following a 2019 inspection, with the fine being the largest in the Air District's history. [2]

Functionally obsolete and not worth upgrading due to it's age.

Emission requirements.

More and more old refineries are shutting down as demand for liquid refined products drops permanently as more electrification of surface transportation takes place, especially in California.
