On Saturday, Motiva Enterprises restarted the largest and second-largest crude distillation units (CDUs), coker, and hydrocracker on its 607,000 bpd refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, according to sources familiar with plant operations.
As Motiva proceeds on restarting the entire refinery, the 325,000 bpd VPS-5 and 195,000 bpd VPS-4 CDUs, 110,000 bpd DCU-2 coker, and 105,000 bpd HCU=2 hydrocracker are the first units to restart.
Previously, the refinery was shut on August 25 due to Hurricane Laura.
