HOUSTON (Reuters) – Marathon Petroleum Corp plans to cut production for up to a month at its 593,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas, as repairs continue on residual hydrotreating units (RHUs), sources familiar with the situation said.
The 64,000-bpd RHU and 60,000-bpd RHU have been shut since a Feb. 4 power outage at the refinery.
All other units at the refinery have restarted, but with the RHUs shut, the refinery is operating at about 80% of its capacity, the sources said.
