(Bloomberg) -- Rabigh Refining and
Petrochemicals Co., a joint venture between state-owned Saudi Aramco and
Sumitomo Chemical Co. of Japan, said maintenance works at its facilities will be
completed by the middle of July. The utilities units were restarted May 31 after
periodic maintenance, while the crude distillation unit will resume operations
June 7, the company said in a statement to the Saudi bourse today. Units
including the ethane cracker will start operating before the end of this month
and the high olefins cracking unit by mid of July, it said. Polypropylene sales
will decline in the first two weeks of the third quarter due to the maintenance,
it said.
