Notes
Recent fire at the refinery (April 19, 2026) indicates operational disruption. Combined with supply chain disruption from geopolitical conflict affecting Saudi crude imports (April 2, 2026), the facility is likely not operating at normal capacity or may be offline for fire damage assessment and repairs.
