Cape Town - South Africa’s 180 000 barrels per day Sapref refinery expects to return to full production by the middle of next month after experiencing a mechanical problem at the plant.
“During the shutdown of the refinery a mechanical problem was encountered. Repairs are under way and it is anticipated that the refinery will be back to full production around mid-February,” spokesperson Margaret Rowe said on Tuesday.
Towards the end of December 2011 some unplanned repairs had to be undertaken at the Durban single buoy mooring, which brings crude oil into the refinery.
Due to the non-availability of crude oil while the single buoy mooring was out of service, production units at the refinery, the largest in southern Africa, were shut down, Rowe added.
Sapref is jointly owned by BP and Royal Dutch Shell.
