A Petrobras refinery in Pasadena, Texas, restarted their operations over the weekend. The weather and flooding conditions after Hurricane Harvey improved, and the plant was able to start once again.
The refinery plans to be back to normal operations by the end of the week according to a Petrobras spokesperson. The plant in Pasadena has the capacity to process more than 100,000 barrels per day.
The parent company of the refinery, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, raised gasoline prices by 10% in Brazil as a result of the hurricane.
