REFINERY NEWS ROUNDUP: US refinery downtime eases as planned work tapers off

BP told regulators it is starting planned work at its 242,000 b/d Cherry Point refinery in Washington, with work concentrated on a crude unit and coker, according to market sources. However, overall US refinery outages are falling as more refineries are returning to service after maintenance, with 3.11 million b/d forecast offline for the week ended March 25. This is expected to fall to 3.02 million b/d for the week ending April 4, according to S&P Global Commodity Insights.
