This answer is an educated guess based on looking at Google Earth. I noticed that there are two roads south of Blessing. Both are labeled as Texaco Road. At the junction of these two roads, I noticed a large rectangular shaped area that suggests that something was once there. This area is about halfway between Blessing and Palacios.

Blessing, Texas

Latitude: 28.8713733
28° 52' 17" N
28 degrees, 52 minutes, 17 seconds North

Longitude: -96.218021
96° 13' 5" W
96 degrees, 13 minutes, 5 seconds West

Palacios

Latitude: 28.7080461
28° 42' 29" N
28 degrees, 42 minutes, 29 seconds North

Longitude: -96.2174671
96° 13' 3" W
96 degrees, 13 minutes, 3 seconds West

I can't seem to find indication or an address for the specific refinery that you are referring to, but I would imagine that a building like that should be visible on google maps. Start here and zoom down:
