EXXONMOBIL TORRANCE REFINERY SALE DELAYED AGAIN

    The sale of the ExxonMobil Torrance Refinery to PBF Energy has been pushed back to July 1, 2016 apparently because the facility is not fully operational.    Reuters is reporting the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit at the refinery is running at roughly 75 percent capacity due to repairs on one of its compressors, which could take anywhere from 30 to 60 days, according to a West Coast market source.   John Bailey, President Southeast Torrance Homeowners’ Association, Inc (SETHA)   HOUSTON, May 25 (Reuters) - Los Angeles gasoline differentials dropped 4 cents a gallon on Wednesday as regional gasoline inventories rose by 1 million barrels last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported.

Proposal for the largest refinery on the West Coast in Carson and Wilmington

 Tesoro Refinery Expansion      Torrance Daily Breeze Posted: 05/14/16, 8:55 PM PDT | Updated: 39 secs ago # Comments   The South Coast Air Quality Management District will host a public hearing Tuesday seeking comment on Tesoro’s proposal to unite its Wilmington and Carson oil refineries into one giant plant that would become the West Coast’s largest refinery. The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Juanita Millender-McDonald Community Center, 801 E. Carson St., in Carson.

(SETHA) http://www.dailybreeze.com/business/20160506/exxonmobil-postpones-restart-of-torrance-refinery-until-after-7-pm-monday#.Vy1avPiUHz8.email These two Letters to the Editor were posted online today. Refinery startup on Mother’s Day In your zeal to expedite an already difficult start-up process it appears management failed to recall that Mother’s Day is Sunday. It is appropriate to stop the ball from rolling and with great consideration to moms and visitors celebrating Mother’s Day to move the refinery start up to a later day. I know you do care about the health of all concerned and what a great PR opportunity! Thank you for your support in this matter. — L.D.
