Dow Jones News
Tesoro Corp. (TSO) plans about 30 days of work at its Kenai,
Alaska, refinery to begin in April, Chief Executive Bruce Smith
said Friday.
The 72,000 barrel-a-day refinery will be completely shut during
the maintenance, said Smith, speaking on a conference call with
analysts following the release of the company's-fourth quarter
earnings.
Tesoro doesn't have a heavy maintenance schedule for 2009. In
addition to the work at the Kenai plant, Smith said the company
planned second- and third-quarter work on hydrocrackers at the
company's two California refineries, but gave few details on those
projects.
