Marathon Ashland Petroleum scheduled maintenance
Posted: 23 January 2004
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC (MAP), owned 62 per cent by Marathon
Oil Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Oil Corporation
(NYSE: MRO), and 38 per cent by Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH), is advising
its customers that it expects to meet their needs while scheduled
refinery maintenance projects occur in the first quarter.
Overlapping, planned maintenance projects, including investments
in the "Tier 2" ultra-low sulfur gasoline production upgrades,
will reduce MAP's 935,000 barrel-per-day crude oil capacity such
that it expects to process about 775,000 barrels per day of crude
oil in the first quarter of 2004.
"We want our customers to know that meeting customer needs
was our first priority while planning this heavier than normal turnaround
schedule," said Gary R. Heminger, MAP president.
Based in Findlay, Ohio, MAP is the nation's sixth largest refiner
with 935,000 barrels-per-day capacity in its seven-refinery system.
MAP's retail marketing system comprises approximately 6,000 locations
in 15 states, more than half of which are Marathon brand locations.
MAP serves the Midwest and Southeast as a petroleum products marketer
with 86 light product and asphalt terminals and access to about
8,000 miles of pipeline.
