Coffeyville, Kan.-Coffeyville Resources confirmed last week that its refinery is significantly beating its projections of a mid-September restart. “We attribute that to the tremendous teamwork and focus of our employees and contractors, as well as great support from suppliers and vendors,” said Steve Eames, Coffeyville spokesman. He said the refinery has already restarted some units and is methodically bringing up the rest. All units may be up by the end of August, with the refinery at full capacity of 108,000 bp/d production. Coffeyville has not given an official number for lost revenues, only saying it will be in the tens of millions of dollars, with clean-up costs included in that figure. The Coffeyville nitrogen plant resumed production in mid-July (GM July 23, p. 1).
