Texaco Denies Plans for Early Restart of Damaged Refinery: Crude oil futures fell at least in part from reports that part of the Wilmington refinery would be producing gasoline within days, instead of by the end of October as the company had announced. November crude settled at $22.09 a barrel, down 21 cents; December, at $22.01, down 21 cents, on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Texaco spokesman Norm Stanley said teams were still estimating the extent of the damage. “They’re checking everything over. . . . They really haven’t been able to say how much will open or when,” Stanley said.
