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.

Citgo Petroleum Corp. has delayed restarting an alkylation unit that caused a near-fatal explosion at its Texas refinery, sources close to plant operations said Tuesday. Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) said Monday that two unidentified units were unexpectedly shut Saturday at its Torrance, Calif., refinery.

Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) shut a coker unit Monday and said it would take the related gasifier complex offline this week, as previously announced.
