The Motiva Convent Refinery is now operating at about 75 percent capacity and is shipping gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel to the market. The plant will continue to be brought up gradually and safely towards full production over the next few days. The Convent plant has a capacity of 225,000 barrels of crude throughput per day.
Repair work continues to progress at the Motiva Norco Refinery, with more utility sub-systems coming up yesterday and today. We are working quickly and methodically toward initiating our re-start sequence, which we expect to begin sometime over the next couple of days. The Norco plant has a capacity of 240,000 barrels of crude throughput per day.
