Lyondell Houston refinery ops normal after channel closure

Operations were normal on Thursday at Lyondell Basell Industries 263,776 barrel-per-day (bpd) Houston refinery after the closure of the upper Houston Ship Channel by protesters from Greenpeace USA, said sources familiar with plant operations.

The refinery has not made plans to cut back production or shut units, the sources said. The refinery has crude on-hand to continue operating for several days.
