For those who don’t speak oil, what does “shut crude units” mean?

They are likely in containment.

Colonial Pipeline has a large tank farm in Port Arthur that's near the Motiva and Valero refineries...you can connect the dots from there.

It means they won’t be making fuel. Most other units will also shutdown as well. Maybe some hydrotreating units may stay up but with pipelines limited I doubt that’s gonna happen either.

Something strange is going on the Daily Mail UK has an article FBI blames Russians for this yet when you click it it doesn't any more.

The FBI picked random European hackers after muh Russia.

We’re in a Cold War. Maybe multiple. And one of the opponents is our own government

I wonder if they'll release any of the gasoline stores that Trump purchased when gas prices got super low?
