据世界石油网6月26日休斯顿报道，费城市长吉姆·肯尼证实，费城能源解决方案公司(PES)将寻求永久关闭其在该市的炼油厂，此前一场大火对这个炼油厂造成了严重破坏。
费城市长吉姆·肯尼在一份声明中说：“我26日上午与费城能源解决方案公司的首席执行官和领导层进行了交谈，我可以确定，PES计划在下个月内关闭这家炼油厂。”
肯尼说：“一千多名工人以及其他依赖炼油业务的企业将立即受到费城炼油厂关闭的影响，我对他们感到非常失望。”
关闭这家美国东海岸规模最大、历史最悠久的炼油厂将导致数百人失业，并挤压这个美国最繁忙、人口最密集的地区的汽油供应。
据两名知情人士透露，费城炼油厂不日将开始裁减700名工会工人。他们表示，员工已接到指示，立即开始封存这些设备，无限期关闭这个炼油厂。
消息人士称，大约有100名非工会员工将立即被裁减，预计7月中旬将有“数量可观的”700名工会员工因此失业。
