HOUSTON: Three US Gulf Coast oil refineries reduced fuel production on Monday as the four-day-old Colonial Pipeline outage limited the ability to ...

The pipeline on Monday said it plans a phased resumption of operations with a goal of having most operations on line by Friday. Its systems were halted following an attack by a hacking group the FBI identified as DarkSide.The largest US refinery, Motiva Enterprises, cut its production by 45 per cent, according to people familiar with the matter.

Total SE reduced its gasoline output by about 25 per cent at its 225,500-barrel-per-day oil refinery in Port Arthur. The company trimmed its fluidic catalytic cracker output and shut a condensate splitter, people familiar with its operations said.Citgo Petroleum Corp reduced production at its 418,000 barrel-per-day Lake Charles, Louisiana refinery"to maintain as much operational flexibility as possible" during the Colonial outage, the company said in a statement.

The largest US independent refiner, Marathon Petroleum, is seeking alternatives for shipping from its Gulf Coast plants in event the pipeline shutdown is extended, said spokesman Jamal Kheiry. Chevron Corp, which operates Gulf Coast oil refineries in Texas and Mississippi, has continued to supply its US East Coast customers.

"We may experience disruptions in supply based on current inventory levels in our terminals, logistics constraints caused by the outage and customer demand," if the outage continues, said spokesman Tyler Kruzich.

Cyberattack on US pipeline is linked to criminal gangThe cyberextortion attempt that has forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline was carried out by a criminal gang known as DarkSide that cultivates a Robin Hood image of stealing from corporations and giving a cut to charity, two people close to the investigation said Sunday. The shutdown, meanwhile, stretched into its third day, with the Biden administration loosening regulations for the transport of petroleum products on highways as part of an “all-hands-on-deck” effort to avoid disruptions in the fuel supply. Experts said that gasoline prices are unlikely to be affected if the pipeline is back to normal in the next few days but that the incident — the worst cyberattack to date on critical U.S. infrastructure — should serve as a wake-up call to companies about the vulnerabilities they face.
