Gasoline production was cut back on Saturday at Marathon Petroleum’s 631,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas due to a fire on the residual hydrotreater, said people familiar with plant operations.
Production was cut back on the gasoline-producing 140,000 bpd fluidic catalytic cracker 3 (FCC-3) and the 115,000 cat feed hydrotreater, due to the fire, which broke out Saturday on the residual hydrotreater, the sources said.
