Breakdown at Indiana refinery sends Midwest gas prices soaring

For want of a refinery unit in Indiana, oil in Oklahoma and Alberta is tumbling and gasoline in the Midwest is soaring.
Leaking tubes on a piece of equipment forced BP Plc to shut the largest crude unit at its refinery near Chicago over the weekend, according to a person familiar with operations there. It could be down for at least a month. The shutdown of the most important unit in the biggest plant in the Midwest has disrupted markets throughout the region.
It puts extra oil onto an already-oversupplied market and cuts the supply of gasoline to the Midwest in the middle of peak summer demand. That’s helped push heavy Canadian crude to trade at the lowest level in a year and propelled wholesale gasoline in Chicago to the highest level since 2013.

Meanwhile, Texas has begun to see gasoline prices below $2.
