Marathon Petroleum shut its refinery in Catlettsburg, Kentucky (U.S.) due to a brief power supply interruption on Tuesday evening, industry monitor IIR Energy said on Wednesday.
The facility remained offline on Wednesday, IIR Energy said in a note.
"As a result of a brief third-party power interruption yesterday evening, operating conditions at the Catlettsburg refinery made flaring necessary," a Marathon spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The Findlay, Ohio (U.S.)-based refiner declined to comment on whether the facility is back up or on the timeline for restarting it.
The Catlettsburg refinery processes sweet and sour crude oils into gasoline, distillates, heavy fuel oil, and other petroleum products.
