Reuters reported that ExxonMobil shut the FCC unit at its Baton Rouge refinery on February 25, 2022. The original plan allowed seven weeks; later reporting identified April 5 as the completion target.
Those figures describe a plan and a subsequent target, not a verified completion date. The example concerns FCC work at a different refinery and should not be used to assign a duration to Beaumont.
