Potential buyer mulls restarting 40,000 b/d refinery in Texas

摘要

New York'A potential buyer has emerged for a 40,000 b/d Texas refinery that has been shut for 24 years, with an eye on restarting its production of naphtha, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel and fuel oil. But at least one marketwatcher said the chances are slim that the Ingleside plant owned by privately held Norcorom Industries will be up and running anytime soon. It was shut in 1986 'due to the severe oil industry downturn,' according to Norcorom's web site.
