Work continues at the Blue Dolphin Energy Nixon refinery, near Nixon, Texas, Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013. The plant was built around 1980 but was mothballed for years. Blue Dolphin, out of Houston, bought the plant in 2006 and is now processing Eagle Ford Shale crude. Photo: Jerry Lara, San Antonio Express-News / © 2013 San Antonio Express-News
