Shell continues with restart procedures on the 112,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) Residue Catalytic Cracker Unit (RCCU) that was shut down on April 25 at its 240,000-BBL/d refinery in Norco, Louisiana, after experiencing a leak. At this time, expectations are to return to normal operations over the next 24 to 48 hours. Separately, the 40,000-BBL/d Hydrocracker is under planned four-to-five-week minor maintenance (pit stop) that began April 19, and the 25,000-BBL/d Delayed Coker is under two-week planned minor maintenance that began April 27.
Valero Energy Corporation continues with a 21-day turnaround of the 95,000-BBL/d Crude 18 (Sweet) unit and 22,000-BBL/d Reformer (Unit 50) at its 265,000-BBL/d Jean Gaulin Refinery in Quebec, Canada, to perform minor repairs and a catalyst replacement. The units are expected to resume normal activities on May 6.
Pemex TRI, on May 3, began a planned 21-day turnaround of the 10,000-BBL/d Reformer (Platformer) Unit 901 at its 177,000-BBL/d refinery in Ciudad Madero, Mexico. Plans are to have the unit back online the third week of May.

PDVSA's 140,000-BBL/d refinery in El Palito, Venezuela is online but running at lower rates due to financial constraints, a crude oil shortage and recurrent power issues. The 140,000-BBL/d lone crude unit is running at 50% capacity, the 70,000-BBL/d Fluid Catalytic Cracker Unit (FCCU) at 29,000 BBL/d, the 9,000-BBL/d Reformer (PTR) at 5,400 BBL/d, and the remaining processing units are running at 45% to 50% of capacity.
Ecopetrol continues with planned repairs on the 40,000-BBL/d Delayed Coker unit at its 165,000-BBL/d refinery in Cartagena, Colombia. The work began March 15 and was initially scheduled for 40 days, but the completion now is expected by mid-May due to additional work required.
