SUGAR LAND--May 24, 2019--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Texas and Louisiana account for nearly half of the U.S. Petroleum Refining Industry's planned maintenance projects set to kick off between now and the end of the summer. Refineries in the two states, particularly along the Gulf Coast, are struggling to process the rapidly growing production of light, sweet crude from the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale and other booming areas. Proper, carefully scheduled maintenance will be crucial to refiners as they continue to expand and handle heavier volumes.

Within this article: Details on some of the major maintenance programs set to begin from now through the end of September, including those from companies such as Placid Refining Company LLC, Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX), CITGO Petroleum Corporation and Petroleos de Venezuela S.A.
