Valero: Shutdown of Delaware refinery complete

摘要

New York-Valero Energy has completely shut all "main production units" at its 210,000 b/d refinery in Delaware City, Delaware, a company spokesman said December 1. Valero announced the permanent closure of the refinery November 20, citing unfavorable economics. The move affects roughly 550 workers, Valero said at the time. The company will take a pre-tax charge of $1.7 billion-$ 1.8 billion in the fourth quarter to account for the move, it said.
