Phillips 66 has shut down a sour crude unit and a coker at its Wood River, Illinois, refinery amid the closure of TransCanada’s Keystone pipeline, Reuters reports. The Canadian firm shut down its 590,000-barrel-per-day crude pipeline due to a potential leak in South Dakota, and it may not restart until Friday.
Sources told Reuters Phillips 66 also moved forward on planned maintenance of the units during the shutdown, and that the work could extend past the restart of the Keystone pipeline.
