Questerre Energy completes emergency maintenance at Brazil facility

Questerre Energy Corporation has successfully completed an emergency turnaround at the PX Energy oil shale processing facility located in southern Brazil. The maintenance was required to repair a critical pipe failure in the furnace that supplies heat to the retort, the facility's main processing unit.

The turnaround was completed on schedule and within budget, with no recordable safety incidents reported. Since returning to service on August 18, 2026, the retort has been operating at over 90% efficiency. The company expects to meet its minimum sales commitments for August despite the unscheduled shutdown.
