BP PLC (BP) plans to begin repair work next week on the largest
of three crude-distillation units at its 410,000-barrel-a-day
Whiting, Ind., refinery, a source close to operations said
Friday.
The work is related to a chemical-related problem with the
260,000-barrel-a-day CDU and may at times require a complete
shutdown of the unit. The work could last a couple of weeks, the
source said.
The timing of the CDU repair generally will coincide with a
month or more of seasonal maintenance on the plant that could cut
overall production rates by more than 50%, the source said.
