DOW JONES NEWSWIRES --The following table lists unplanned and planned production outages at U.S. refineries as reported by Dow Jones Newswires. The information is compiled from both official and unofficial refining sources and doesn't purport to be a comprehensive list.
Sunoco Inc. (SUN) said Tuesday that it will indefinitely idle its Eagle Point refinery located in Westville, NJ.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) Tuesday restarted two unnamed units that were unexpectedly shut Saturday at its Torrance, Calif., refinery.
Tesoro Corp. (TSO) said Tuesday that it expects to restart a coking unit at full rates in mid-October after a fire caused it to shut down last month.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Refiners Threatened by Carbon Rules (Update1) By Simon Lomax and Asjylyn Loder:
Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc and Valero Energy Corp. are among the U.S. oil refiners caught in the crosshairs of proposed new greenhouse gas regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency, an industry representative said.
“Any time you increase capacity, or if you want to upgrade your refinery to use a wider range of crude oils, you could trigger these new regulations,” Charles Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association, said.
The EPA announced yesterday that newly built industrial facilities, or existing ones that undergo “major modification,” must use “best available control technology” to reduce their emissions if they are responsible for more than 25,000 tons of greenhouse gases a year.
This requirement threatens to halt U.S. refinery upgrades and expansions, which could boost gasoline imports, Drevna said today in a phone interview.
There were 150 operable refineries in the U.S. as of Jan. 1, 141 of which are operating, according to the Energy Information Administration. In 1999, 155 of 159 operable refineries were in service, according to EIA data.

What do the miners do when the canary dies? EVACUATE THE MINE not argue about the color of it's feathers or buy a parrot instead.

WSJ If you go through here and use last week's refinery inputs of 14.1 as the system total, and then estimate the crude oil input for each of these places based on their announced operational status, the numbers work out respectably if you assume that the "partial production" people are running at about 90% of capacity, but some of these places are down all the way and/or a substantially larger fraction. It is trackable every week, if they will do us the favor of continuing to print it.
