HJBC/iStock Editorial via Getty Images TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) is running the two crude distillation units at its 238K bbl/day Port Arthur refinery in Texas at minimum rates following a Monday power interruption and Friday steam loss, and normal operations may not be restored for at least several days, Reuters reported on Tuesday. About half of the refinery's units were idled because of a lack of enough steam to power them steadily, according to the report. The power interruption reportedly knocked several units out of production on Monday, and the refinery could not restart the units without the external steam needed from the neighboring BASF refinery.
