[StBernard] Exxon is said to plan shutdown of United Kingdom refinery

[Westley Annis]

 (Sigh)  It's always **so** helpful to have the rest of the story.



Exxon Mobil Corp. <http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=XOM:US>  plans
to shut a crude unit at its Fawley
<http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=EXFACRUD:IND>  refinery, the
U.K.'s biggest, for **maintenance** early next year, two people with
knowledge of the work said. 

The halt is scheduled to start in the first quarter and **last about four
weeks**, the people said, declining to be identified because the information
is confidential. A powerformer, which makes blending components for
gasoline, will also be idled for repairs during the same time, they said. 


Refiners regularly halt equipment for inspections and repairs to prevent
problems and ensure efficient operations.
