Exxon Baton Rouge, La. refinery crude unit restarts

May 9, 2020:

Exxon Mobil Corp XOM.N completed restarting a small crude distillation unit (CDU) on Thursday night at its 502,500-barrel-per-day (bpd) Baton Rouge, Louisiana, refinery for the first time since late March, sources familiar with plant operations said on Friday. Exxon spokesman Jeremy Eikenberry declined to comment. The 90,000-bpd PSLA 7 CDU was shut on March 30 as motor fuel demand was being hit by the response to the coronavirus pandemic, the sources said. The unit began restarting on Thursday morning.
