(Reuters) -- Thailand's IRPC Pcl ,
operator of Southeast Asia's biggest integrated petrochemical complex, plans to
shut all of its plants for major maintenance for 40 days from mid-November to
late December, an executive said on Tuesday.
The plan, which would effectively lead to an actual shutdown of 30 days,
would cut its fourth-quarter refining output to an average of 140,000 barrels
per day (bpd), a senior executive for corporate planning, Atikom Terbsiri, told
Reuters.
This compared with normal output of 170,000 bpd for the October-December
period and down from 160,000-170,000 bpd in the third quarter.
IRPC, 37-percent owned by top Thai energy firm PTT , runs a 215,000
barrel-per-day refinery and petrochemical complex with annual capacity of about
924,000 tonnes of plastic pellets.
