Murphy to halt its Milford Haven, UK refinery in mid-May

LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - Murphy oil (Frankfurt: MUQ.F - news) is to halt refining operations at its 135,000 barrels per day plant in Wales in mid-May, industry sources said on Monday, after it failed to find a buyer.

Murphy Oil told staff at the start of April it could be forced to close its loss-making Milford Haven refinery in Wales after exclusive talks with a private equity firm collapsed.
