Islamabad May 27 2025: Attock Refinery shut its main crude distillation unit due to lower availability of crude oil as higher pressure in gas pressure in system due to LNG influx has resulted in reduction in crude oil production.
“Attock Refinery Limited has shut down its main crude distillation unit (32,400 BPSD capacity) due to very low crude stocks” according to company filing to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
“The unit will remain shut till June 01, 2025” it added.
Company further stated, “Owing to imported LNG there has been persistent high SNGPL system pressure resulting in forced curtailment of gas production from local oilfields. This has also resulted in reduction of crude oil production and supplies to ARL from the oilfields.”
