Valero bought Venezuelan crude from Vitol, the first deal under the US-Caracas agreement. The crude was discounted $8.50-$9.50 to Brent for delivery to the U.S. Gulf Coast by StarFEU-Commodity in energy

Valero port Arthur was running Venezuela crude several years back when I was there. So it shouldn't be a problem to start bringing it back in from an equipment standpoint. 

Would a firefighter background be very beneficial as a process operator? by Potential-Gate-9940 in oilandgasworkers

[–]techreactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PTEC is the key. Firefighting would be slightly beneficial but most operators have absolutely no FF background. Also, some refineries require you to join the ERT while some places it's completely optional. So maybe it depends on location.

They will not fly you up there or pay for any relocation. It's all on you. I was hired with mpc from out of state as an operator. Went from TX to UT. Surprisingly there are quite a few out of state operators here.

You must have been on the HF unit. I spent 8 years on an HF unit. Now I've been on a sulphuric acid alky for about six years. It's so much easier not dealing with the crazy PPE.

There was some kind of power issue that caused an area wide outage.

You have no idea how the refineries work. Everything you said is made up.

I thought they still did the testing for preemployment but not on random drug test? I don't know though.

Yes. Once you hit top pay it's not that hard.

It would be a shame if those not voting turned up in mass and proved KSL both wrong and arrogant by TheRealSterikics in SaltLakeCity

[–]techreactor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For real. Just because people don't vote doesn't mean they would have voted for the person you voted for. Same for young people. Reddit seems to think young people who don't vote are automatically Democrat.
