Fuel supply relief on the way as Citgo begins restart process

Fuel supply relief on the way as Citgo begins restart process

Citgo said Friday it will be re-starting its Corpus Christi refinery, meaning all four refineries in that region are now undergoing definitive re-start processes following shutdowns ahead of Hurricane Harvey.

"Citgo East and West plant refineries will be starting up process units over the next several days," the 158,00-barrel-a-day refinery said in a statement posted to the Corpus Christi community alert line. "Some flaring may occur as the units resume their normal operating conditions."

Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) has already reported re-start efforts at its Corpus Christi refinery and Three Rivers plant south of San Antonio, as has the Flint Hills Resources Corpus Christi refinery.

Still no word from Motiva or ExxonMobil on when it will begin restart process after its controlled halt of operations were performed in advance of Harvey.
