ich etwas verwirrend finde sind solche Meldungen:
'The Wall Street Journal also reported that the nation’s largest refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, curbed fuel output to 40% Tuesday due to severe weather. That 600,000-barrel-a-day plant was taking on water in some areas, its primary problem wasn’t getting all the oil it needed to make fuel because of port and pipeline closures, according to its owner, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company.
Other refineries are shut, not due to damage, but because they cannot get crude. Bloomberg News reports that Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s Galveston Bay refinery in Texas City, with a capacity of 451,000 barrels a day, may be forced to halt production within several days because it is running out of crude, a person familiar with operations said on Monday. Its oil comes via Magellan Midstream Partners LP, which suspended use of its pipeline in the area on Sunday. That pipeline is one reason gas prices in the Midwest are already spiking.'
