Notes
Multiple news sources confirm scheduled maintenance was completed by March 27, 2026. Most recent news (March 30, 2026) explicitly states resumption of operations after planned outage. However, given the very recent restart date, the facility is likely in ramp-up phase rather than full capacity, justifying lower utilization estimate.
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.
