Motiva Plans Re-Start -- September 5, 2017; Just In Time For Irma

Motiva plans to restore 40pc of rates at its 600,000 b/d refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, this weekend.
The facility, which shut amid heavy flooding in the Port Arthur area on 30 August, could reach that limited throughput 10 September if workers can clear equipment checked for storm damage.
Motiva is the US refining subsidiary of Saudi Aramco. The Port Arthur refinery is the single largest in the US.
Meanwhile, apparently Colonial Pipeline is up and running. Company says it will waive fees.
Colonial Pipeline today restored the Texas segments of its 1.4mn b/d gasoline pipeline supplying the US southeast and Atlantic coast, the company said. Service on Line 1 from the Houston and Pasadena area had resumed by 3pm ET.
The 1.1mn b/d distillates-bearing Line 2 resumed operations from the Houston and Pasadena origin points in Texas yesterday. Harvey at its peak disrupted about 5mn b/d of Texas and Louisiana refining capacity, or 27.5pc of total US crude processing.
COP says its Eagle Ford output is back to 80% of what it was pre-Harvey.
