Refinaria de Paulínia or simply REPLAN is a petroleum refinery located in the city of Paulínia in the São Paulo state, in Brazil. REPLAN is the largest refinery of the Brazilian company Petrobras, with a capacity of about 360,000 barrels per day (57,000 m3/d), which accounts for about 20% of Brazilian overall petroleum refining capacity. About 80% of the processed petroleum is produced in Brazil, mostly from the Campos Basin.
