HOUSTON, April 2 (Reuters) – Tesoro Corp said on Friday night that production at its Anacortes, Washington, refinery has been cut to one-third of its 120,000 barrel per day (bpd) capacity.
Previously, a company spokesman said throughput was cut to between 70 percent and 75 percent of capacity following a deadly Friday morning fire.
The company said it planned to boost production at its other West Coast refineries to make up for the reduced output from Anacortes.
