  SAN NICOLAS - Valero Energy Corp plans to restart its shut 235,000 barrel per day (bpd) Aruba refinery in September after completing an overhaul currently underway and if the plant can operate at a profit, Chief Executive Bill Klesse said in a statement this week.
"When complete in September, this work will provide us the option to resume operations at the Aruba refinery if conditions are profitable and will enhance strategic alternatives for the refinery," Klesse said.
Valero Energy on Tuesday reported its first profitable quarter since early 2009, as it made more money refining diesel fuel and other products.
America's largest independent oil refiner earned $583 million, or $1.03 per share, in the second quarter. That compares with a loss of $254 million, or 48 cents per share, for the same quarter last year.
Valero Energy Corp. reported higher margins on diesel fuel and other products like petrochemicals, asphalt and lube oils. Valero's retail business posted a company record of $109 million in operating income during the quarter.
