Summary
Marathon Petroleum has successfully restored power at its 146,000-barrel-per-day Detroit refinery following an outage. This operational recovery may lead to intermittent flaring during the unit startup phase. The restoration is a positive development, mitigating potential production losses and helping to stabilize overall refining capacity. This is particularly important given the company's recent operational challenges, including equipment upsets and shutdowns at its larger Galveston Bay refinery.
