The following table lists unplanned and planned production outages at U.S. refineries as reported by Dow Jones Newswires. The information is compiled from both official and unofficial refining sources and doesn't purport to be a comprehensive list.

Most recently, Conoco Phillips (COP) reported a flaring Tuesday morning at its Rodeo, Calilf. refinery, according to regulatory filing.

Canadian integrated oil company Husky Energy (HSE.T) will begin a 42-day turnaround Thursday that impacts 70% of its Lima, Ohio, refinery, the company said. Several units will undergo maintenance, including the crude and vacuum units as well as the gas oil hydrotreater, said company spokesman Graham White.

Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) has moved up planned maintenance at a gasoline producing unit at its Delaware City, Del., refinery to late November or early December, the company said Monday. The fluid catalytic cracking work was supposed to start in the first quarter of next year. It should last 45 to 50 days, company spokesman Bill Day said.

Chevron Corp. (CVX) said Monday that the gas oil hydrotreater has returned to normal rates after a fire at the Richmond, Calif. refinery Thursday.

The coker and associated units at the Tesoro Corp. (TSO) Wilmington, Calif. refinery are expected to remain shut until they can be repaired after a fire burned several hours on Friday. The company has not released a timeline for repair or any information on the cause of the fire. The refinery was running at reduced rates.
