I will say that restarting that shit after being dormant is a massive process not just turn a switch and everything goes back on. So it could be an accident and they'll just get over it and keep starting up.
When was the last time an 'accident' like this happened? How frequent do these 'accidents' happen?
How frequently do we shut down oil production for an entire year? When was the last time that happened?
They only do that if margins are terrible…. Or if a unit/plant is mothballed.
