Market Chatter: Chevron Shuts Most of Southern California Refinery After Fire in Jet Fuel Unit
Oct 3, 2025 1:11 PM

03:51 PM EDT, 10/03/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Chevron's ( CVX ) has mostly shut its El Segundo refinery in Southern California following a large fire in a jet fuel production unit, Reuters reported Friday, citing a company spokesperson.

No injuries were reported, and all employees were accounted for at the facility which can process 285,000 barrels of oil per day, the report said.

The fire started Thursday in the refinery's Isomax 7 unit, which converts mid-distillate fuel oil into jet fuel, two sources said, and a reformer and fluid catalytic cracker shut, disrupting gasoline output, according to the report.

Authorities said there has been no reported fuel disruption at Los Angeles International Airport, and state and federal regulators will review the incident, the report said.
