Adnoc to temporarily close Ruwais units

12 August 2010

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (Adnoc) plans to shut its two gasoline units at its 415,000 barrels per day (bpd) Ruwais refinery for a month starting in September, which could lead Adnoc to import 150,000 tonnes of gasoline, Reuters has reported, citing traders. The state-owned company cancelled a tender last week to buy 180,000 tonnes of gasoline, and would instead issue a tender to import 150,000 tonnes of gasoline, the traders added. The Ruwais plant, the largest in the world's third-largest oil exporter, is run by the refining unit of Adnoc, Takreer.
