Notes
Recent news from January-March 2026 consistently indicates the refinery is set to 'begin limited operations in early 2026' and 'begin operations in 2026', indicating it has not yet started operations. The facility is in final commissioning phase, not yet operational. The database note of 'partial operations expected 2026' aligns with this, but current status should reflect pre-operational state.
What coverage reports
These are counts of what publishers filed about this plant, not an operating status. A quiet month means nobody named this facility that month, which is a fact about coverage and not about the plant. Where this site states how a refinery is running it says so in the facts table above, from the curated dataset, and cites it there.
