Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery closed as crude oil stocks run out

Date:

The Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery will be temporarily closed from January 03, 2022 due to the crude oil stocks being run out, said the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation in a statement.

The operations at the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery will resume as soon as new crude oil stocks arrive, the Corporation noted, adding that the operations may hopefully be be continued at most before January 30 next year.

Despite the Refinery operations being driven into a standstill, there will be no shortage of fuel in the country, according to the Energy Ministry.
