Marathon Petroleum on Thursday said a brief electrical outage disrupted operations at its Garyville, La., refinery. Via Dow Jones Business News, a company spokesman said the outage had “minimal impact” on operations, but he did not specify when the outage occurred. Marathon also did not confirm whether or not it shut down any units as a result of the outage.
An analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. said the outage would tighten fuel supplies just as demand is set to rise during Memorial Day weekend.
