Delek US Holdings Announces Crude Oil Shipments Suspended on Pipeline System to El Dorado Refinery

Delek US Holdings, Inc. DK today provided an update on the status of operations at its El Dorado, Arkansas refinery. Due to recent flooding along the Mississippi River, a pipeline operator has temporarily suspended crude oil shipments on a pipeline system that supplies significant amounts of crude oil to the El Dorado refinery. Since May 8, 2011, the Company has reduced total throughputs at the El Dorado refinery to approximately 60,000 barrels per day. The Company has identified alternative sources of crude oil to partially replace crude shipments previously supplied by the Crude Pipeline. These alternative sources of supply include crude oil shipped through other pipeline systems, crude oil sourced from the Company's local crude oil gathering system, as well as crude oil trucked from other regional supply centers. Delek US anticipates total throughputs at the El Dorado refinery will be between 50,000 to 65,000 barrels per day until the Crude Pipeline resumes normal operation.
