Frontier Oil Corp. said a crude unit at its Cheyenne refinery has “fully restarted” after a fire July 28.
The company estimates average crude throughput of 32,000 barrels a day at the Cheyenne plant for the third quarter, which includes the effect of the fire-related downtime, Houston-based Frontier said in a statement.
During the second quarter, the plant’s average crude throughput was about 46,000 barrels a day, said Kristine Boyd, a spokeswoman for Frontier.
The company expects an increase to third-quarter operating costs of about $6 million for repairs resulting from the fire.
The naphtha reformer and diesel hydrotreater at the Cheyenne refinery are also resuming normal operations, Boyd said.
