Changing skyline of Newcastle
The large crane that has dominated the skyline is disassembled and being prepared for demobilization. The twin, black stacks of the heaters are both in place.
Work has progressed well since our last update. The newly fabricated crude heater modules arrived on schedule and were quickly lifted into place. Assembly of the new heater continues ahead of schedule. The repaired heater is mechanically complete and ready for start-up. We anticipate a partial restart in a couple of days once all the pre-startup safety procedures are completed. Full startup is anticipated around May 1st.
The team at Newcastle has been consistently executing the plan ahead of schedule. Despite many added man hours, 24-hour operations, and some challenging weather our employees and contractors have completed the work without a single injury.
