There was a series of explosions and a fire at the Chevron refinery in Richmond at about 6:40 PM today. No word on casualities. Be prepaired for the usual customary gas and diesel price increase that no doubt will follow this disaster.
Yep. Modern refining process is a continous process beginning to end, that cannot be interupted anywhere in the process or the whole thing has to be shut down.There was a series of explosions and a fire at the Chevron refinery in Richmond at about 6:40 PM today.

YEP, You know your shit !!!Yep. Modern refining process is a continous process beginning to end, that cannot be interupted anywhere in the process or the whole thing has to be shut down.
Besides the loss of refining capacity which is thin already in this state, the EPA, AQMD, and Cal OHSA will climb up their skirt with fines so big it would terrify the average person. And they will simply pass the unforseen cost right down the line.
Don't think for a minute this only effects the prices from Chevron. The other refineries will see the drop in refining capacity and the "supply and demand" will kick in and they will more than benefit from the drop in supply.
OH COME ON DOG, I have friends in the industry in Long Beach that have told me the same shit W.T.F.:nutswinger:
pay no attention to him SBS, he's been a little put out ever since he was awarded one of these last week.OH COME ON DOG, I have friends in the industry in Long Beach that have told me the same shit W.T.F.
They don't just see it... the oil companies buy/trade gas and diesel from whatever refinery has it. I've seen Arco, Shell, Unocal, Valero, etc. tanker trucks at all the different refineries regardless of brand.Yep.
