Venezuela's Cardon refinery shut down due to fire, with daily processing capacity of 310,000 barrels
According to eight sources on Tuesday, Venezuela's Cardón refinery, the country's second largest with a daily processing capacity of 310,000 barrels, has suspended operations due to a fire at one of its processing units. Fires, power outages, and blackouts frequently occur at facilities operated by state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), which may affect domestic supplies of essential fuels like gasoline and diesel. Two of the sources indicated that the fire began in a gas pipeline connected to the refinery's diesel hydrotreater, forcing the shutdown of the entire facility, including the boiler. According to informed sources and nearby residents, the blaze was extinguished in less than an hour after an explosion and the evacuation of personnel. No worker injuries have been reported at this time.
