Government task force established to secure Murco refinery

The Welsh government has set up a high-level task force to secure the future of Murco’s refinery at Milford Haven following the collapse of a deal to buy Murco Petroleum, including its forecourt operations. It is hoped the task force will safeguard the long-term future of around 400 jobs at the refinery.
 
Announcing the task force, Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: ‘The Murco refinery is integral to the fabric of the oil and gas infrastructure in Wales and the Welsh economy. The Welsh government is fully aware of the challenges facing the refining sector and has worked very closely with Murco over the past four years to try and secure the ongoing operation of the refinery and protect the jobs at the Milford Haven site. The task force will have one clear objective – to engage partners in high-level dialogue to support the company in maintaining the future of refinery operations at the site.’
