Dominican Republic's Lone Refinery Shuts Down Due To Tropical Storm Laura, an Industrial Info Market Brief

The Dominican Republic's single petroleum refinery was forced to shut down on Monday due to flooding caused by Tropical Storm Laura. The 34,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) Santo Domingo refinery had been kept online at lower rates estimated at 60% due to COVID-19. Early expectations are for the refinery to restart in 4-5 days, and maintain similar rates throughout the rest of the month.
