REFINERY NEWS ROUNDUP: BP restarts big Whiting crude, USWC hit by outages

BP started up its large Whiting crude unit over the weekend, leaving one CDU offline and another operating after an Aug. 24 fire while a spate of California refinery outages, including the alkylation unit at PBF’s Torrance refinery, sent the CARBOB octane spread to seven-year highs. In the Pacific Northwest, Phillips 66 began a 45-day turnaround at its Ferndale, Washington, plant.
