Murphy plans Q1 work at two refineries

NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Murphy Oil Corp (MUR.N) said on Thursday that it plans unspecified turnaround work in the first quarter of 2010 at its refineries in Meraux, Louisiana, and Milford Haven, U.K.

Murphy's Meraux refinery was running at about 110,000 barrels per day (bpd) while its Superior, Wisconsin, plant was at about 34,000 bpd, noting profit margins continue to be weak, top executives told analysts during a conference call.

This is down from the total capacity of the refineries of about 125,000 bpd in Meraux and 35,000 bpd in Superior. (Reporting by Haitham Haddadin)
