The Port Arthur I refinery, also in the US, had the highest refinery capacity of 790 000 bpd under unplanned maintenance in the year.

Europe occupied the third position globally with 5.35 million bpd of refining capacity under planned and unplanned maintenance in 2020. The Pernis refinery in the Netherlands had the highest capacity under planned maintenance with 405 000 bpd, while the Plock refinery in Poland and Rheinland in Germany followed with capacities of 327 000 bpd and 325 000 bpd respectively.
