摘要

New York —US refiner Valero Energy expects to see total system throughput of 2.685 million b/d-2.795 million b/d in the fourth quarter on a “fairly heavy turnaround” schedule, CEO Joe Gorder said Wednesday. Neither Gorder nor Gary Simmons, Valero’s Vice President of Marketing and Supply, gave any specific turnaround details on refineries, units, and timeframes for work in Q4 during the company’s Q3 earnings webcast. Valero is the largest US independent refinery, owning 14 refineries with total throughput capacity of 2.935 million b/d and crude throughput capacity of 2.388 b/d.
