I am not sure if this refinery takes AZZ crude. If it does it may explain drop off for janruary etc etc. It does process crude from the Permian basin.
The El Dorado refinery turnaround, which began on January 4, 2014, is nearing completion and the restart process is underway. The refinery will increase throughput rates over the next two weeks as it becomes fully operational. While turnaround work was underway, customer demand was met by a combination of product inventory on-hand and from products transferred from Delek US’ Tyler, Texas refinery. During the turnaround, the pre-flash tower project to increase light crude capability by 10,000 barrels per day was completed. Also, the fluid catalytic cracking reactor was replaced with state of the art technology. These projects are expected to improve operating efficiencies and crude flexibility at the refinery, and should allow it to achieve crude throughput of 80,000 barrels per day using a light crude slate or heavier medium-sour crude slate depending on refined product and crude oil pricing
