HOUSTON (Reuters) – Total SA’s Port Arthur, Texas, refinery is operating at about 60% of its 225,500-barrel-per-day (bpd) capacity, said sources familiar with plant operations. The refinery is running at reduced capacity because of the loss of demand during the coronavirus pandemic, the sources said.Oil refineries have curbed output since

    Most refiners are operating, 
but many have reduced the number of 
barrels of oil they process as gasoline
and diesel use contracts.

Fuel demand has dropped by about 30% 
as the coronavirus chokes economic 
activity.
