Western Refining is planning a turnaround at its newly acquired St. Paul Park refinery in Minnesota in the third quarter. Via the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Western Refining will employ up to 1,000 outside contractors for the 40-day turnaround.
Western Refining merged with original St. Paul Park refinery owner Northern Tier Energy in June. Prior to the merger, Western Refining owned 38% of Northern Tier.
