CONOCO'S HUMBER REFINERY READY FOR EC REGS

Conoco Ltd. believes its Humber (South Killinghome) refinery on the U.K.'s east coast is better prepared than most of its competitors' plants to meet forthcoming European Commission (EC) rules on low sulfur diesel fuel. Terry Indreland, general manager of the refinery on the River Humber, told Oil & Gas Journal relatively small investment has been made so far for refinery projects required to meet low sulfur rules scheduled to take effect in 1996.
