Supposedly no buyers have stepped up so they will close by years end.
This is horrible news for those folks and the local economy

It’s true.

Doesn't the Norco refinery depend on the Convent refinery for product? they just finished that big arse pipeline between the two, why would they do all of that and then once it's completed shut the facility down?

Wow I know several ppl who work there

My engineer buddy told me last year that they decided to not really use that pipeline.
The idea to build it was a Motiva decision back then and Shell changed their mind when they took over sole ownership
What a waste of money

Neighbor works there and just texted me. Hope he finds something quick.

Just the opposite. Norco sends feedstock to a Convent.

Heard this last week. Thanks China!!

Yup it’s happening. Anyone hiring Instrument Engineers?

Norco was going to send cat cracker products to convent, but that never materialized. Norco sends olifins to giesmar, and shell is beginning to move heavily into the chemical market.

Not sure what’s funny. They told their employees this morning.

Bidens renewables plan bout to take over baw.
Posted on 11/5/20 at 11:08 am to notiger1997
Yeah it definitely escalated quickly. Everyone knew it was being considered but not this soon. ALOT of ppl are going to be out of work
Posted on 11/5/20 at 11:09 am to notiger1997
Is this where Biden tells them operator baws and pipefitters to learn to code?

If you’re serious email me. My plant is.

What I don’t get is why some other company wouldn’t want to just buy it on the cheap. Seems like someone could still make money running it
