Global Crude Oil Refinery Maintenance Review, 2021 – Analysis by Major Units, PADD Regions and Operator
Globally, among all the regions, North America had the highest refining capacity under maintenance (both planned and unplanned) with 10,210 thousand barrels per day (mbd). Asia and South America followed with 8,838 mbd and 2,587 mbd of refining capacities under maintenance, respectively. The US, China, and South Korea were the top three countries in terms of refining capacity under maintenance (both planned and unplanned) for 2021. Among operators with the highest refining capacities under maintenance (for both planned and unplanned) globally were Petroleo Brasileiro SA, ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants Co, and Valero Energy Corp. Ulsan and Yeosu in South Korea, and Port Arthur II in the US were the top three refineries in terms of refining capacity under maintenance (both planned and unplanned) in 2021.
What are the major upcoming planned maintenance activities in 2022?
In 2022, North America is expected to have more than 1,100 mbd of refining capacity under planned maintenance. Most of this capacity would be under maintenance in the fourth quarter of 2022. The former Soviet Union would also have most of the capacity under planned maintenance in Q4 2022. Among operators, ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants Co is expected to have the highest refining capacity of over 560 mbd under planned maintenance in 2022.
What are the major factors responsible for unplanned maintenance by region?
North America: In North America, 30 refineries were under unplanned maintenance in 2021. Many of these refineries were shut down due to fire and explosion, heavy rainfall, floods, storms, and power outages. Operational problems were also some of the key factors responsible for unplanned maintenance in the region.
South America: In South America, six refineries were under unplanned maintenance in 2021. One of the key factors responsible for keeping the refineries under unplanned maintenance was power outages. Fire and explosion, repairs, leakage, and technical issues were some of the other significant reasons for unplanned refinery shutdowns in the region.
Asia-Pacific: In Asia-Pacific, 11 refineries were under unplanned maintenance. Fire and explosion, earthquakes, and landslides are significant reasons for the unplanned shutdown. Repairs and maintenance, unspecified reasons were some of the other significant factors for unplanned refinery shutdowns in the region.
FSU: In the FSU, one refinery was under unplanned maintenance in 2021. Repairs and maintenance are a significant reason for the unplanned shutdown of the Khabarovsk I refinery in Russia.
