PBF Energy is planning turnaround work at nearly all of its refineries this year and expects plant outages in the first, second and fourth quarters.

The company's 2026 guidance released on Friday calls for 40-45 days of work in the first quarter at its 166,000 b/d refinery in Torrance, Calif. It said the work will involve the CHD/HDT units.

Work at the company's 157,000 b/d Martinez, Calif., refinery is scheduled to get under way in the second quarter, last 40-45 days and involve the hydrocracker unit, according to the guidance.

PBF said rebuild activities at the Martinez refinery following a fire in February are expected to continue into next months, with the facility returning to planned operating rates in March. The company had earlier expected to complete the work by the end of 2025.

The company also is planning to conduct Q4 work at its 189,000 b/d Chalmette, La., refinery that it projected will last 50-55 days. A 50- to 60-day turnaround is also set for the final quarter at its 180,000 b/d Toledo refinery in Ohio. And Q4 work at its 165,000 b/d Paulsboro, N.J., refinery is expected to last 30-35 days, PBF said.

The Chalmette work will involve the refinery's crude unit and coker, while the Toledo work will involve an FCC unit. The Paulsboro work will also focus on a crude unit, the company said.

PBF said it expects total throughput at its refineries to average 885,000 to 945,000 b/d in 2026.

The company projected operations at its Paulsboro and Delaware City, Del., plants will have throughput of between 300,000 b/d and 320,000 b/d this year and it expects production from its Toledo refinery will average between 135,000 and 145,000 b/d. It said its Chalmette facility will average 170,000 to 180,000 b/d of throughput in 2026, while targeted throughput at its West Coast refineries will range from 280,000 to 300,000 b/d.

PBF said it expects to spend between $600 million and $620 million on maintenance and turnarounds in 2026 and another $235 million to $250 million on other capital projects.
