Notes
December 2025 news explicitly states 'Isla Refinery Remains Offline' while searching for operators. This directly contradicts the database record of 'operational' status. The refinery is not currently running refining operations. While Curacao may be using port/storage infrastructure for Venezuelan oil trading, the Isla Refinery specifically is offline and non-operational.

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.
