Notes

The 50-day turnaround that began end-January 2026 would have concluded by mid-April 2026 (the date of the latest news). The refinery should have transitioned back to operational status by the April 14 news date. The traffic incident on Barnet Highway is unrelated to refinery operations. Utilization estimated at 75% assuming post-maintenance ramp-up period.
