Motiva Enterprises’ 235K bbl/day Convent, La., refinery plans a partial restart of the heavy oil hydrocracking unit by year-end, but full production is not expected to return before fall 2017 as repairs are made from the Aug. 11 fire, Reuters reports, citing Gulf Coast market sources.

In addition to extensive repairs required to return the 45K bbl/day hydrocracker, Motiva will revamp the unit during the shutdown for the planned linking of the Convent refinery with the company’s refinery in Norco, La., sometime next year, according to the report. read more

[Dow Jones] While visiting Houston, his “adopted second home,” Khalid Al-Falih, the chief executive of Saudi Aramco, made a trip out to the Motiva Port Arthur refinery. The refinery, which is jointly owned by Aramco and Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA) is undergoing a major expansion project which will make it the largest refinery in the U.S. with a capacity of 600,000 barrels a day. It will be “the most sophisticated refinery in the U.S only fitting for Texas,’ Al-Falih said during a speech at the IHS-CERA Energy Conference in Houston. read more

Greetings Folks,

Interesting developments regarding Thornal and Royer, Thanks for bringing them forward Golden Triangle Watchman, I had intended to but got rather busy of late.  Thornal was clearly an example of Purves rewarding his loyal subjects, Royer is a bit surprising.  You see folks Mr. Royer had intended or desired to work a few more years.  Of course, maybe the thought of being underling to the grossly incompetent and flagrantly arrogant Funk might have been to much for Leroy.  Or maybe Funk realized that Leroy was smarter than him and hence a threat.  Ordinarily I would feel sorry for Mr. Royer if it was not his desire to fade off in the sunset, however I don’t and I will tell you why.  Mr Royer is basically a pretty good guy with no guts, he didn’t have the stomach to stand up for his people in early 09 when 1.1 performers mysteriously from mid year review to end of year review became worthless pieces of crap.  As a leader you are duty bound to those below and above you, I dont fault Leroy for the way some people were treated in regards to their IPF, that was clearly above his head.  He did not however have to compromise his integrity and participate in slanderously fabricating untrue performance appraisals for these people.  I hope the shame I know you feel haunts you Leroy! read more

Costs for containing and cleaning up soil and groundwater alone are likely to run into the "tens of millions," Small said. Motiva Enterprises, a joint venture of Shell and Saudi Arabia's national oil company, is responsible for most of the groundwater cleanup.
