BP completes commissioning of Whiting refinery units
BP reported in mid-December that all of the major new units associated with the Whiting refinery modernisation project had been successfully brought onstream after the start-up of the new 102,000 b/d coker the previous month. The reconfigured 413,000 b/d facility now has the flexibility to greatly increase heavy sour crude processing, delivering an expected incremental $1bn of operating cash flow per year, depending on market conditions, reports the company.
BP recently completed a number of major investments in its other US refineries, including a clean-diesel upgrading project at its 234,000 b/d day Cherry Point, Washington, refinery; and the addition of a continuous catalytic reformer to the 160,000 b/d Toledo, Ohio, refinery (a 50:50 joint venture with partner Husky Energy).
