BulletEnergy BulletsCommodities

The PBF Energy 156k b/d Martinez refinery near San Francisco may need 45 days or more to assess the damage from a fire on Feb. 1, according to Bloomberg sources.

  • The refinery was shut after a fire in the Light Oil Processing section area where gasoline is made after a leak of hydrocarbons, the sources said.
  • Initial assessment shows extensive damage to the cat feed hydrotreater, where the fire originated, that may not be repairable.
  • Other units, including the alkylation unit, hydrogen units and sulfur recovery units appear to also have suffered damage.
  • Repairing the fire-damaged area delayed beginning a 55-65 day multi-unit turnaround that was scheduled to start Feb. 3
