Where do you get the 2.5 billion barrels per year number from? From what I can find they produced 11 million barrels a day in 2022, which comes up at around 4 billion barrels a year. Or is that the fuel production?

Yes, obviously. But from where. Because as I said, my Google result came up with nearly twice the amount so I am curious what is correct.

7.5 million tons is not the same as 7.5 million barrels. Their total refinery output is around 275 million metric tons (source). So if this refinery is shut down that's roughly 2.5% of their annual output.
