Mina Al Fahal refinery has been shut down for maintenance in Oman. The refinery will remain under maintenance for around 45 days. The 45-day maintenance period will cover modifications to the existing plant to allow a full integration of the new units, being constructed under the Suhar Refinery Improvement Project (SRIP) and Muscat Sohar Product Pipeline (MSPP) project including a distribution depot in Jifnain, that are due for commissioning later in the year.

All product supply during the period of the turnaround has been scheduled through all Orpic’s delivery points to ensure smooth product delivery to all local marketing companies.

The turnaround is expected to have a total workforce of 2,200 and anticipated 1,000,000 man-hours at site.
