(Reuters) BP Plc. curtailed production over the weekend on the 60 Mbpd reforming unit at the 413 Mbpd refinery in Whiting, Indiana, for repairs, sources familiar with plant operations said Monday.

The reformer's cut production levels are having a "minimal impact" on the refinery's overall production, the sources said. The reformer has failed to function at expected levels since completing a 10-week overhaul in mid-June. The company hopes to find the problem and repair it.
