據(jù)ICIS -MRC網(wǎng)站7月20日莫斯科MRC報(bào)道，根據(jù)路透社援引熟悉工廠運(yùn)營(yíng)的消息來(lái)源報(bào)道稱，埃克森美孚公司(Exxon Mobil Corp)在德克薩斯州博蒙特(Beaumont)的煉油廠繼續(xù)重啟大型原油蒸餾裝置(CDU)和焦化裝置。

據(jù)消息人士稱，埃克森周二開(kāi)始重新啟動(dòng)日產(chǎn)24萬(wàn)桶的原油蒸餾裝置B和日產(chǎn)4.5萬(wàn)桶的焦化裝置。由于颶風(fēng)勞拉的威脅，整個(gè)煉油廠于8月25日關(guān)閉。

埃克森美孚發(fā)言人杰里米·埃肯伯里（Jeremy Eikenberry）表示：“埃克森美孚繼續(xù)在重啟其博蒙特精煉廠方面取得進(jìn)展。我們繼續(xù)進(jìn)行現(xiàn)場(chǎng)評(píng)估。我們正在與聯(lián)邦，州和地方應(yīng)急計(jì)劃官員就我們對(duì)風(fēng)暴影響的反應(yīng)進(jìn)行溝通。”

消息人士稱，埃克森美孚計(jì)劃在周五某個(gè)時(shí)候重新啟動(dòng)煉油廠。

上周一，埃克森美孚重啟了日產(chǎn)11萬(wàn)桶的原油蒸餾裝置A。這兩個(gè)原油蒸餾裝置將原油分解成碳?xì)浠衔铮┧衅渌a(chǎn)裝置使用。

煉油廠還重啟日產(chǎn)12萬(wàn)桶汽油的生產(chǎn)流體催化裂化裝置(FCC)和日產(chǎn)8萬(wàn)桶的重整裝置。

正如MRC早些時(shí)候通知的那樣，埃克森美孚公司已經(jīng)將其在德克薩斯州博蒙特的煉油廠擴(kuò)建工作推遲了一年。擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)將于2023年上線，而原計(jì)劃是2022年。彭博(Bloomberg)首先報(bào)道了推遲發(fā)布的消息。埃克森美孚拒絕證實(shí)這一消息，并表示不會(huì)對(duì)個(gè)別項(xiàng)目的狀況發(fā)表評(píng)論。該公司在一份聲明中表示，“由于疫情和商品價(jià)格下跌導(dǎo)致的市場(chǎng)狀況，該公司正在評(píng)估所有適當(dāng)?shù)拇胧栽诙唐趦?nèi)大幅減少資本和運(yùn)營(yíng)支出。”

ExxonMobil restarting large crude unit, coker

ExxonMobil Corp’s 369,024 barrel-per-day (bpd) Beaumont, Texas, refinery continues restarting the large crude distillation unit (CDU) and coker, reported Reuters with reference to sources familiar with plant operations.

Exxon began restarting the 240,000-bpd Crude B CDU and 45,000-bpd coker on Tuesday, the sources said. The entire refinery was shut on Aug. 25 because of the threat from Hurricane Laura.

“Exxon Mobil continues to make progress restarting its Beaumont refinery,” said Exxon spokesman Jeremy Eikenberry. “We continue to conduct site assessments. We are communicating with federal, state and local emergency planning officials about our response to the impacts of the storm.”

Exxon planned to restart the refinery by sometime on Friday, the sources said.

Exxon restarted the 110,000-bpd Crude A CDU last Monday. The two CDUs break down crude oil into hydrocarbon feedstocks for all other production units.

The refinery is also restarting the 120,000-bpd gasoline-producing fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) and 80,000-bpd reformer.

Last Monday, Exxon also restarted the 65,000-bpd hydrocracker, 75,000-bpd reformer and 40,000 bpd hydrotreater.
