KARACHI: Attock Refinery Limited on Tuesday announced a temporary shutdown of its distillation unit due to ullage constraints.
In a communication shared with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company informed that due to ullage constraints from low demand for furnace fuel oil, Attock Refinery Limited is temporarily shutting down its main distillation unit for approximately eight days.
“During this period some necessary maintenance jobs would also be carried out,” the company added.
Consequently, as result of this shut down refinery will be operating at capacity of 35 per cent.
However, adequate inventories of products are available to meeting the current requirements, the company added.
“This has been intimated to the ministry of energy (petroleum division) and Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) accordingly,” the company said.
