The following table lists unplanned and planned production outages at U.S. refineries as reported by Dow Jones Newswires. The information is compiled from both official and unofficial refining sources and doesn't purport to be a comprehensive list.

ConocoPhillips (COP) will restart Thursday three refining units including the FFCU at its Sweeny, Texas oil refinery after completing maintenance, it said in a filing to Texas state environmental regulators.

Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) said Wednesday that the hydrocracker at its Corpus Christi refinery has returned to planned rates after it was shut earlier this month. The company also clarified an item on its 4Q and 1Q turnaround scheduled released Tuesday saying that the turnaround at the Wilmington, Calif. refinery would result in the shut-down of the entire plant.
