BBC NEWS | Wales | South West Wales | Fault halts refinery production

Production at the Chevron oil refinery at Pembroke has stopped because of a mechanical fault.

A Chevron spokesman said repairs are being carried out after the problem with a boiler on Tuesday night.

No fuel is being produced but there is a "good supply" of stocks of oil, which is exported to the US and Europe, as well as serving the UK.

The refinery, which first opened in 1964 and employs 1,200, processes 220,000 barrels of crude oil a day.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Much ado about nothing thank goodness. The refinery has two weeks stocks and they announced they'll be back to full production by Tuesday
