The Motiva Convent Refinery startup plan is proceeding as scheduled. The plant anticipates being at about two-thirds of crude throughput capacity and blending first gasoline stocks later today. The plant will continue to be brought up gradually and safely towards full production over the next several days. The Convent plant has a capacity of 225,000 barrels of crude throughput per day.
Repair work is progressing at the Motiva Norco Refinery, with more sub-systems coming up today. We continue to work as quickly as possible to re-start operations, which are expected to begin the middle of this week. The Norco plant has a capacity of 240,000 barrels of crude throughput per day.
