(AP) - Eight Gulf of Mexico refineries remain shut and one is
operating
at a reduced rate while damage from Hurricane Katrina continues to be
assessed by oil and gas companies.

Access to some of the refineries is difficult. Conditions at those
locations
are as follows:

largest refinery owned by Exxon Mobil Corp. is running at a reduced
capacity.

_ Pascagoula, Miss. - Chevron Corp.'s 325,000 barrel a day refinery
remains shut. The company says access to the refinery remains
difficult.

to resume its 260,000 barrel a day operations for up to two weeks.

remains shut. Access is limited.

_ Belle Chasse, La. - ConocoPhillips' Alliance refinery remains shut
while the company continues to assess damage to the 255,000 barrel a day
facility.

sustained minimal damage.

_ Norco, La. - Access to (Shell) Motiva Enterprises's 242,000 barrel a day
refinery is limited, so damage still is being assessed.

barrel a day refinery, which shut down on Sunday.

_ Meraux, La. - The 125,000 barrel a day facility by Murphy Oil Corp.
