Marathon Garyville refinery damaged in Hurricane Ida

Marathon's 565,000 b/d refinery in Garyville, Louisiana, was damaged in Hurricane Ida and is currently running off generators as it conducts repairs.

"Initial assessments at our Garyville refinery have revealed minor damage, and we continue to assess other steps that will be needed to safely restart the plant," Marathon said today. "Due to a power outage in the area, we are using generators to power aspects of our operations that enable us to progress with repairs and assessments, and we continue working on a timeline for resuming operations."

The largest refinery in Louisiana in terms of nameplate capacity, Garyville was shut in ahead of the hurricane's landfall on 29 August. PBF's 190,000 b/d Chalmette facility and Shell's 230,000 b/d Norco site were also confirmed without power today after the storm knocked out critical transmission infrastructure in the greater New Orleans area and Baton Rouge.

ExxonMobil's 500,000 b/d Baton Rouge refinery and petrochemical complex is in the process of restarting today.
