   DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) --- Irving Oil confirmed planned 30-day turnaround late 
summer-early fall at its 320,000 bpd Saint John refinery in New Brunswick, 
Canada. The website indicates the will begin the second week of September and 
conclude by Oct. 10.

   The maintenance will run alongside the previously announced $100 million 
upgrade to the refinery's fluid catalytic cracking unit. On June 5, the company 
said work would be completed in a phased approach over the summer and fall, 
beginning that month. The privately funded FCCU modernization project, named 
the FCCU Revamp Project, will mark substantial upgrades to the unit to maximize 
performance, efficiency and reliability.

   The Saint John refinery is the largest in Canada and produces a wide range 
of refined petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet 
fuel, and propane. It plays a key role in supplying energy to Atlantic Canada 
and the Northeast U.S.

   According to the company, the turnaround and FCCU revamp are intended to 
support the continued safety, quality, and reliability of the facility's 
infrastructure.

   Sources noted the scheduled nature of the turnaround means supply 
disruptions to the U.S. market are unlikely, with buyers expected to have 
planned accordingly.
