HOUSTON, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Big West of California LLC, in Chapter 11 bankruptcy with its parent, Flying J Inc., on Tuesday announced start of a maintenance period amid market questions about its ability to keep operating.
'They've started a 10-day turnaround. This is a scheduled routine shutdown of their hydrocracker for catalyst replacement,' a spokesman said, repeating previous statements that the refinery will keep operating.
Flying J, a travel plaza operator that calls itself the largest retail distributor of diesel fuel in North America, filed for Chapter 11 reorganization of itself and its refining and pipeline subsidiaries on Dec. 22 in Delaware.
