BP’s 440,000-bpd refinery in Whiting, Indiana, was in the process of restarting after flooding disrupted its operations earlier this week, industry monitor IIR said on Wednesday, adding the units would take several days to ramp up.
The facility aims to be back running at full rates by early next week, IIR said.
The refinery reported flaring due to flooding caused by a severe thunderstorm.
BP declined to comment on the refinery’s restart timeline.
The Whiting refinery, the largest in the U.S. Midwest, produces a wide range of liquid fuels, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
