Notes
February 2026 news confirms production targets of 1.4 million tons gasoline and 2.3 million tons diesel for the year, indicating the facility has resumed operational status post-maintenance. Second-stage upgrade commissioning targeted for 2025-2026 suggests completion or near-completion of major work. While production may be somewhat below pre-incident levels due to recent repairs, the facility is clearly producing at meaningful capacity.
