Oil supply to Attock refinery restored after transport disruption

The movement of crude oil and petroleum products to and from Attock Refinery Limited resumed late Wednesday night after authorities stepped in to ease disruptions, the refinery's management said. The restoration was facilitated through the intervention of Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik enabling road transport to return to normal. A day earlier, in a mandatory regulatory filing to the Pakistan Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the company said its main crude distillation unit has been shut down after disruptions in oil supply and product dispatch caused by traffic restrictions in the federal capital. The unit, with a capacity of around 32,400 barrels per stream day, was taken offline as the refinery could not sustain operations amid mounting logistical constraints.
