BP Texas refinery seen short of intake goal-sources

http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?view=CN&storyID=2006-08-21T183712Z_01_N21144407_RTRIDST_0_ENERGY-BP-TEXASCITY-UPDATE-1.XML&rpc=66&type=qcna

No plans to return to levels of yesteryear..

(BP.L: Quote, Profile, Research) giant Texas refinery will likely only reach a crude oil intake of 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) by the end of the year, 100,000 bpd short of the company's plan, according to sources familiar with refinery operations.

Production at the refinery will increase from the current 200,000 bpd with the restart of the plant's ultraformer in the past few days, the sources told Reuters.

A BP spokesman declined to discuss refinery operations, citing company policy against doing so.

1. Funny isn't it

"A BP spokesman declined to discuss refinery operations, citing company policy against doing so."
They only decline to discuss when things go to shit-if performance had EXCEEDED their goal they'd be shouting their policy to the heavens.
